Joining the other Far Cry titles but putting a prehistoric twist on it is Far Cry Primal a title available across Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Intended to be a spiritual predecessor to the games in the Far Cry franchise you'll step back in time to take on the role of a hunter in a large...

Takes the best elements of Far Cry and integrates them into a new environment; Tame animals to assist you explore the prehistoric world; Lead your village through upgrades and crafting

Lacks significant storyline making the whole experience feel short; Melee combat with other humans misses the mark

Changing the location wasn't good enough for Ubisoft anymore, and Far Cry Primal throws you about 10,000 years from any modern luxuries, back to a time when our basest of instincts ruled, and each day was a fight to survive in a world that was often quite literally chomping at the bit to make you...

Attention to detail creates a living prehistoric setting; Soundscape and global lighting are enthralling; Riding a saber tooth tiger into a camp of cannibals wielding a flaming spear; Urki

Authenticity to primitive culture disconnects player from characters; Lack of meaningful backstory or motivation throughout; Underneath all that cave paint; there's a ton of repeated quests; Ull and Batari are not Vaas or Pagan Min levels of memorable

It was an unfamiliar scent, making him easy to track. I had come across many wolves in Oros, but none like this. He was striped, white, brown, and black, with a scar on his eye. I had managed to separate him from the rest of the pack to a small opening in the forest lit by moonlight.

Lack of guns and vehicles allows for more dynamic gameplay; Great Beast hunts are tense; stressful; awesome; Lush; evocative visuals; You can ride a bear

One button; too many functions; Abundance of things that can kill you can detract from quieter moments; Tags

Blood on a pink suit. You play hours of Far Cry 4, inventing increasingly ingenious ways to rid the Himalayas of despotic goons, but th...

The Far Cry template is always good for mindless fun; Oros is a beautiful; and surprisingly changeable; land; Training animals is a great sidequest/mechanic

Lacks a clear focus; making the whole affair aimless; Prehistoric inventory is brave; but limited; Reduces its weirdest ideas to distractions

succeeds in transporting the Far Cry formula back in time and comes to the table with a quiver of neat ideas and a dangerous and fascinating open world. The visceral and varied combat is fun, the beast-based gameplay is a winner, and the lure of camp-claiming, gear-crafting, beast hunting, and...

Great character design; Terrific atmosphere; Addictive gameplay loops

Basic missions; little story; Underused supporting cast

Far Cry Primal is a full-fledged single player experience that will take gamers to 10,000 BC in history to a time when massive beasts like the woolly mammoth and sabretooth tiger ruled the Earth.

But the Udam aren't your only worries. There's the Ilia too. They're fire-wielders that come adorned in blue paint, led by the slightly unhinged Batari and her bottomless black eyes. Far Cry Primal is the most convincing entry yet, and we can't get enough of having our very own bear.

Far Cry Primal is a great diversion in the series that successfully takes you back to a simpler yet equally as dangerous era!

Far Cry Primal feels less like the prior two games in the series, and honestly compares more directly to something like Blood Dragon . Like BD, Primal is a single player only experience that tries out a new setting and offers a mix of old and new mechanics based on its theme.

really good game. loved the entire story of it. this game made me become a fan of far cry
