    I particularly don't like the idea of only killing animals. But I love the idea of taming then (it's really cool).

    In my opinion, the bigger mistake of this game is the missing co-op. GOD WHY??? It would be AMAZING!! Can u imagine you and your friends with their animals hunting? facing enemies together? hunting together? Oh GOD Why not UBISOFT? WHY????? :(

    Overall I had fun with this game it's really enjoyable if you like open world games unfortunately single player. Graphics is medium and I faced some bugs.

    So this is why my score is 7.    … Expand

    I am a big fan of Far Cry 3 and 4. On the surface, Primal looked intriguing. Overall I would say it is a decent game, but to me not as good as 3 or 4.

    I didn't really care for the pitch black night aspect of the game and the looting / gathering seemed to get old rather quickly. Seems like it was always a rock, stick or pelt that I obtained.

    Overall a decent open world game, but I doubt I would play it again.    … Expand

    Since I was exposed to Far Cry 3 with no inclination of what I was getting into I was hooked and made sure to get all the DLC's, and being at the midnight release for 4 and acquiring its DLC's. I was just as stoked for FarCry Primal.

    The setting at first to I'm sure everyone is the selling point. No guns, no sniping, different paced version of FarCry.

    The setting at first to I'm sure everyone is the selling point. No guns, no sniping, different paced version of FarCry. The problem starts to set in when you realize that the setting that the game is placed in is just a clever way to sell a game, and hiding the fact that the things that made prior FarCry games awesome - nonexistent.

    Aside from skinning the animals you kill, and looting the humans you kill is all the actual looting you will do in this game. There are no random treasure chests spread throughout the world, with some random loot that you can use to craft or inevitably sell to a merchant to upgrade the things you do have. Throughout the world you will encounter 1 of 3 things.

    1. Animals and Humans who want you dead
    2. Random stones that are highlighted on your map and give an EXP boost.
    3. Materials to craft things. (Tree's, Herb's, etc.)

    And that is FarCry Primal. Run around avoid packs of animals at night, fast travel here because of an exp stone you found while running around. Kill a few animals that you can skin but quickly find out you have had the materials at max capacity for the entire game.

    The fact that there is no loot to acquire at all whatsoever ruins the game to me, and I understand the time period makes it that treasure chests shouldn't be hidden around with loot to sell so you can upgrade your weaponry because in 10k BC there wasn't currency, or even treasure chests, or people that wanted to buy your random crap. This is what I mean when I say making the game based in the Stone Age was just an absolutely clever way to make and sell a lazy and uninspired game.

    I will still play in through completely because I am truly a fan of the series. If you liked the butt clenching moments of Dying Light when the sun goes down as you run for safety, the hunting of animals to get their skin to upgrade your bag or some other piece of arsenal this is a possible chance to relive those moments. Nightfall in this game however doesn't make your heart pump like Dying Light, and after 30 mins of playtime animal skins becoming a message saying your pack is full of those items leaving you to go well wtf is the point of an open world when there is literally nothing in it to find, thus making the whole exploration part of the game literally being that. Exploring an enemy group dropping in on you while you walk around relentlessly, knowing that anything they drop is useless to you. All that is left to do is I guess check out the scenery? I hope you find that enjoying because that is literally all you will find or be able to do. Enjoy!

    Far Cry Primal – Knuffelen met een sabeltandtijger
    Met Far Cry Primal zet Ubisoft de franchise opnieuw op de kaart. Na het uitstekende Far Cry 4 kiest Ubisoft met Primal voor een totaal andere setting. Ditmaal bevind je je niet op een tropisch eiland of in het koude Nepal, maar in de prehistorische tijd. Deze tijdsperiode is niet voor iedereen weggelegd, maar Far Cry Primal biedt een unieke kijk in het leven 10.000 jaar voor Christus. Verwacht geen diepgaand verhaal, maar wil je een keertje wandelen met een mammoet, stoeien met een sabeltandtijger of gewoon genieten van het prachtige uitzicht dan is Far Cry dit jaar echt iets voor jou.

    WRAAK IS ALLES WAT JE WILT

    Far Cry Primal biedt vanaf het eerste moment dat je de game opstart een explosie aan actie. In de intro word je meegenomen naar het verhaal van de Wenja stam. De Ull stam heeft je stam deels uitgemoord en verjaagd uit hun dorpen. De stamleider Udam is verantwoordelijk voor deze gruwelijke daad en je wilt dan ook niets anders dan hem uit de weg ruimen zodat je stam weer kan leven als vroeger. Als Takkar ga je de taak aan om je stam weer bij elkaar te krijgen. Dit doe je onder andere door het voltooien van verschillende missies, wat er voor zorgt dat je nieuwe volgelingen erbij krijgt.

    Far Cry Primal

    HET LAND VAN BELOFTE

    Ubisoft heeft er werkelijk alles aan gedaan om een grafisch prachtige game af te leveren. Het land Oros ziet er fantastisch uit, van de stromende beekjes tot de bergen in de verte, alles is tot in de details afgewerkt. Na al het geweld dat zich in Far Cry Primal afspeelt, is het goed om soms even rust te nemen. Het is dan ook genieten geblazen als je op een berg staat en dit prachtige landschap goed in je opneemt. Dit heb ik dan ook meerdere malen gedaan. Alleen al hierom is Far Cry Primal meer dan de moeite waard.

    Far Cry Primal

    EIGEN HUIS EN TUIN

    Door dingen uit de natuur te verzamelen zoals bladeren, takken en dierenhuiden kan je je dorp upgraden. Zo komen er meer huizen te staan en hierdoor zullen automatisch meer volgelingen naar je dorp trekken. Een aantal van deze belangrijke volgelingen worden gemerkt op je landkaart. Zoek ze op en help ze door een missie voor ze uit te voeren zodat ze zich bij jou dorp voegen. Elke van deze belangrijke personen leert je weer iets anders. Zo kom je op een gegeven moment de sjamaan Tensay tegen die je beesten leert te temmen. Andere volgelingen leren of spelen weer andere dingen vrij zoals Karoosh the Warrior die je beter leert te vechten. Zonder te veel te verklappen van wat je exact verdient door het bezoeken van Jayma the Hunter raad ik je zeker aan om haar een bezoekje te brengen. Je zult hier geen spijt van krijgen.

    Far Cry Primal

    CESAR MILLAN EAT YOUR HEART OUT

    Zoals gezegd kom je op een gegeven moment een sjamaan tegen. Hij leert je omgaan met de dieren in de wilde natuur. Door een speciaal goedje wat Tensay je laat opdrinken krijg jij de kracht om dieren te temmen. Dat zorgt ervoor dat je op het ene moment in de lucht vliegt als een vogel en het andere moment zij aan zij vecht met een witte wolf. Deze nieuwe toevoeging om dieren te gebruiken als sidekick is iets wat we al eerder hebben gezien in games, maar Far Cry Primal onderscheidt zich hier in het feit dat je tevens de verschillende diersoorten upgrades kan geven. Ook komt er tactiek bij kijken. Je kunt bijvoorbeeld als een vogel een groep vijanden van bovenaf aanvallen, terwijl jij rustig een paar meter verder staat te wachten totdat de kust veilig is. Dit dwingt je tot het maken van tactische keuzes zodat niet alleen jij, maar ook je sidekick overleeft.

    Al met al zit Far Cry Primal vol verbeteringen waardoor je wel eventjes zoet bent met de game. Het upgrade systeem is erg uitgebreid en het zal dan ook enige tijd duren voordat je alles hebt vrijgespeeld. Het verhaal mist wat diepgang, maar de grote open wereld en de missies zorgen ervoor dat Far Cry Primal een prima nieuw deel is in de Far Cry-serie. Met deze titel kom jij het eerste kwartaal van 2016 wel door.    … Expand

    It's definitely passable as a game but don't expect it to work wonders.

    The thing is, after starting the game you quickly realise that you're in 10,000BC, an era where there is absolutely nothing crazy happening. The grappling hook is the most modern thing you'll find in the game which is pretty alarming. Yes, of course the whole point of the game is about primitive survival. I get it.

But cave man fighting other cave man with the occasional feline predator is not an ideal way of making a fun and stimulating environment. At least not the way Ubisoft have done it.

    Also, I'm guessing 8/10 people won't be bothered to keep following the storyline with the weird (but creative) primitive talk and the distracting subtitles. It's as good as the rest of the game. A lot of downs with an occasional high.

    On a positive note, the graphics and environment are pretty good. Fighting mechanics perform well too. It's a mindless Far cry. And if at the end of the day you realise you're playing with Cave Man, being mindless is what it is all about.

    I feel like this game on overall will end up sitting right on middle of the fence for most people. It's a one time experience. No-replay value at all. Some people will experience it as a 5.5 and some even as high as a 7.    … Expand

It feels like they have run out of ways to make this stay fun or original. The environment is too busy where animals which won't necessarily (or don't) attack show in red when scared with the other, actually hostile enemies so just by looking at the mini-map it's hard to see where to go and fight first when it gets heated. The controls are fine but there is no sense of finesse at all so it's all a flat experience. If you want to grind pick up an older Saint's Row 4 game as at least you'll be laughing for some of it... or Diablo.

    Oh ya... the Mammoth missions will more than likely make you mad at how irritating and pointless they are so remember your breathing exercises..... inhale... hold... exhale.

    EDITED: Had to bump this from a 5 to a 6 as it's pretty neat to watch how the sabertooth picks up prey after it's dead and how it kills it by grabbing it's neck sometimes.    … Expand

    The game play is solid like all far cry games but the story and setting are just repetitive and too easy. Once you tame bigger animals they will just kill everyone while you watch. I'd recommend far cry 4 over this which is a shame because I'm a big fan of pre history and the setting is right up my alley.

    I've always wanted a great B.C era game. It's a setting that's been largely ignored, and that's always disappointed me. Therefore, I was really excited for Far Cry: Primal. However, my concern was that Ubisoft would make Primal a simple reskin of Far Cry 3 or 4.

    Unfortunately, I bought this game despite these concerns, and to my dismay, Primal is largely a simple reskin of Far Cry 4 with less features/more restrictions due to the setting. You'll see some of the exact same skills carried over from 4 (ex: the back stabbing chain combo), the same animals simply reskinned with slight or no modifications (Ex: the badger), the same mechanics even if it doesn't mesh with the setting (Ex: grappling hook or should I say "bone claw"). Sadly, the developers ignored the areas that needed to be fleshed out more for a B.C era game such as melee combat which leaves the game feeling like a shallow button masher.

    Far Cry Primal isn't bad it's just more the of same. I'd only purchase this title if you missed out on Far Cry 3 and 4, and even then, Far Cry 4 has significantly more content.    … Expand

    Like all Far Cry, it starts in an exciting way, but as almost always, after Far Cry 3, it loses its breath.

    Weak and repetitive history, quests do not live up to the name of the series.

    Well, the survival mode have some excellent things who could make it one of the best games i ever played and some disgraceful things who completely ruined the game for me, because of the bad things i got angry with it and eventually stopped playing it.
    -Less resources and animals: excellent, now the world looks more realist and the hunting better.
    -Stamina bar: excellent idea, makes the game more realist.
    -No minimap: should be optional but i can deal with the loss.
    -Permadeath of companions: well, looks very realist and i can deal with it BUT... there are glitches who kills companions, can't imagine nothing more irritating...
    -Harder to tame: ok, sounds reasonable.
    -Mounting fatigue: realistic.
    -Reduced loot capability, longer crafting duration, etc...: good.
    Now there's the bad changes.
    -Nightime, longer nights: annoying, i don't wanna play a beautiful game like this at night...
    -More predators at night: What was already bad now its worse.
    -Darker night: Because **** those who can't see well and all other who play with the room lights on.
    And the worst of all changes.
    -Companions have reduced health: Jesus christ, its not only unrealistic, it exists with the sole intention to f**k with you, after spending 20min to chase and tame a grown up cave bear and almost die in the process because now its harder to tame, your bear is WEAKER than a wild bear... Sometimes it can die fighting another weaker animals...
    For me this was the change who made the game unplayable, they got the best thing the game had (companions) and made them weaker than normal ones and now have permadeath.
    Whats more frustrating is that they could simply make all of this changes optional, this would make everyone happy but no.    … Expand

    Ainsi, toute la carte est reprise intégralement, et partant, le monde entier de Far Cry 4 et sa verticalité pénible qui nuit énormément à la mobilité : grappin indispensable, détours incessants et même pire, une disposition en général peu favorable à la fois à l'infiltration et à une bonne visibilité, ceci expliquant cela...

    Ce n'est cela dit pas trop handicapant puisqu'on peut y aller comme un gros bourrin avec la puissance de feu d'un croiseur et l'équipement d'un porte-avions... si, si, je vous jure : la chouette est très chouette et permet de larguer (!) des bombes diverses et variées et de mettre le bordel dans un camp en deux temps trois mouvements... et c'est drôle !

    Notre Rambo des cavernes peut aussi transporter (via améliorations bien sûr) des couteaux, des sagaies, des gourdins, des grenades (artisanales, roulées sous les aisselles), des arcs et j'en passe, en quantités faramineuses ! et c'est tant mieux, car on peut balancer tout ça à la gueule des ennemis avec une grande efficacité, plutôt que de se ruer dans un corps-à-corps très confus.

    Signalons que malgré ses aspects délirants, cette galéjade préhistorique ne manque certainement pas d'ambiance, ni de suite dans les idées : ce monde vivant est peuplé de nombreux bestiaux dont on peut apprivoiser un certain nombre également ! c'est là l'autre aspect hilarant du jeu, que d'avoir sa grosse bêbête de compagnie qui va bouffer illico presto... tout ce qu'on lui dit de bouffer...

    Au moins, les tours à escalader ont disparu et globalement Far Cry Primal est beaucoup moins sujet au gros farmage à la con que son prédecesseur : quelques missions secondaires et quelques à-côtés suffisent largement à s'équiper comme il faut, sans compter les ressources (limitées) qui reviennent quotidiennement dans les points de voyage rapide.

    Hélas, lors de missions de campagne, il arrive fréquemment de se taper des "boss" qui sont de véritables sacs à points de vie avec la barre coriace qui les accompagne... c'est tout simplement grotesque !

    En tout cas, les graphismes sont soignés et l'ensemble tourne sensiblement mieux que FC4, preuve que le moteur est moins surchargé. Voilà donc un jeu sympathique par bien des aspects mais sclérosé par quelques choix douteux et le monde d'origine sur lequel il a été bâti : le moyen FC4.    … Expand

    Far Cry Primal is an open world game set in 10,000 BCE. Because of it's unique prehistoric setting, I was hoping for an equally refreshing gameplay experience. In that regard, I was disappointed. That isn't to say it's a bad game - far from it - it's just that Far Cry Primal isn't otherwise anything special. This review is based on my playthrough on survivor mode with the expert difficultyFar Cry Primal is an open world game set in 10,000 BCE. Because of it's unique prehistoric setting, I was hoping for an equally refreshing gameplay experience. In that regard, I was disappointed. That isn't to say it's a bad game - far from it - it's just that Far Cry Primal isn't otherwise anything special. This review is based on my playthrough on survivor mode with the expert difficulty level.
    THE GOOD
    - It looks amazing, with great graphics and varied environments. Cutscenes are gorgeous, textures are consistent, and nothing looks out of place. It also runs perfectly.
    - Visually and atmospherically, the setting is superb in execution. It lends itself well to a sense of exploration, which is especially prevalent at the start of the game when you are dropped into an unknown world to fend for yourself. Discovering the land of Oros was some of the most fun I had. It's such a diverse land full of animals and only sparsely populated with (usually hostile) humans. Everything looks, sounds and feels as it should.
    - Taming beasts is a very cool mechanic; having a sabretooth tiger by your side is always a good thing. I appreciated how the beasts each had different stats and abilities. Alongside other wildlife and fauna, the beasts added to the setting.
    - Moment to moment gameplay is fun and even exhilarating, at least to begin with. When you're still discovering everything Oros has to offer, and before you've seen the handful of mission archetypes repeated dozens of times, it's a great game. Combat is fun at first, but what you see is what you get, and it never develops into anything above mediocrity.
    - There are lots of difficulty settings, so the game can be tailored to your liking.
    - There are some genuinely interesting characters, and the two enemy tribes are also worthy of note for their differing cultures. These factors make the story worthwhile.
    THE BAD
    - It has it's fair share of bugs. I genuinely have no idea how a few of my tamed beasts died. Most recently, I was just walking around when my tiger just vanished. He can't have died in combat, because there was nothing near us and I was given no prompt to heal him. He just vanished and I couldn't summon him again. This wasn't a lone event, as similar things happened to a couple of my beasts that can only be obtained once, the best you can get, so this was extremely annoying. There were other bugs, such as when a mission didn't go to plan because the tall elk I was supposed to hunt didn't appear. I went into where it was supposed to spawn and it was just stood there. I killed it and it didn't even move. That was a very easy mission for me.
    - The AI can be appalling. There were plenty of instances where I could beat an enemy or beast to death without any resistance whatsoever. Enemies react slowly, and often just stand still and do nothing... this is all on the highest difficulty setting.
    - There's this one Izila enemy that kills you in one hit which is very frustrating. Some beasts can kill you in two hits so being surrounded by a pack of them is annoying too.
    - Tamed beasts are often unresponsive and don't do what you want.
    - Some of the animation is really clunky, such as that of tamed beasts when just walking around.
    - Character models are reused all the time. So many people look identical, which really impacts the suspension of disbelief.
    - Combat doesn't suit large groups at a time. The difficulty can feel artificial as it seems the game is just throwing too many enemies at you for you to deal with. It's never that hard, just monotonous having to deal with so many people.
    THE BORING
    - There is NO mission variety. It suffers from map mess, meaning there's always stuff to do everywhere, but everything follows the same structure. It gets very repetitive very quickly. There is no real content, only blatantly inflated game length via constant reuse of the same tired structures.
    - Quests are tediously formulaic, and have no story to them so I never knew why I was doing anything.
    - The combat is heavily restricted by a lack of weapons, enemy types, and repetitive enemy encounters.
    - There is quite a poor sense of progression. Weapon upgrades never feel that substantial.
    - Collectibles are utterly worthless and another example of blatantly inflated game length.
    - Although everywhere is beautiful and graphically impressive, there aren't many memorable locales because everywhere is filled with the same activities and structures (camps/bonfires/outposts).
    - Lots of the skills you can unlock are very dull, and just mildly improve an existing quality.
    CONCLUSION
    It's good, but not great. It drew me in with a beautiful setting, but let me down with shallow gameplay. It's fun most of the time, but it's really nothing special. You won't be missing out if you don't get it, but it's pretty easy to recommend as some mindless fun. I believe it deserves a 7, as I can't deny I had fun, which is what matters.    … Expand

    Nettes. Spiel es hat echt viel Spaß gemacht. Mehr davon! Nicht zu lang, nicht zu kurz. Genau richtig.
