    Far Cry Primal starts off strong, throwing you into a hostile, untamed world and letting you flail until you figure things out. But it's too unfocused, too patchwork in the later stages and too much of a step away from the things that make Far Cry great...Yes, it's thrilling to tame a cave bear then ride it into battle while spitting fiery arrows in all directions. This is a fun adventure that'll keep you occupied for 20 hours or more. But Far Cry Primal is also, inescapably, a lesser entry in a series that's continually raised the bar for itself with each successive release.

I love the whole stone age idea and this is something different from the previous installments . Ubisoft took a risk but it was a risk well worth the taking . I love the animal taming and the scouting owl . The stealth is just magnificent and all the different ways to accomplish your task and to take outposts make this game pretty fun . I am enjoying every moment of this… Full Review »

There's really no other game to compare it to except Dying Light. The survival, hunter/crafting/looting is fun and intense, but just in a lot more beautiful setting than Dying Light. I've never had this much fun just exploring in a game before and this new open world of Far Cry is a must to explore for anyone that loves action adventure games with some RPG elements. I was nervous about them getting rid of guns, but not anymore. This is an intense game and more focused on survival than the past Far Cry's. I enjoyed Far Cry 4, but I'm really enjoying Far Cry Primal!… Full Review »
