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

What a great game! Really enjoyed this game, it was such a refreshing change from guns and jeeps. It has a superb atmosphere I am just gutted I have completed it!

The first person shooter genre has seen a large shift in focus to modern or futuristic style games over the last few years, mostly leaving the past behind.

Uncommon setting; Versatile weapons; Dynamic day/night system; Beast master skills

Disappointing story; Repetitive missions

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.

Far Cry Primal is everything you'd expect a Far Cry game to be without a lot of the things you've always known to be part of a Far Cry game. No guns, no vehicles, no explosions.

Highly immersive; Stunning graphics and lighting; Strong character performances; Prehistoric weaponry is a blast; Breathes new life into the series

After the success of Far Cry 4, and its trippy ride through the Himalayan mountains, heading back in time to the Stone Age might seem like the type of idea from a game studio short...

Extensive game map to explore; Painstaking attention to detail; Danger at every turn

Combat easy to master; Climbing mechanics cumbersome; Hunter vision needs constant pressing

I love this game, I have played Farcry 4 and enjoyed that but this is different, I have only just got the ability to tame beasts so I am pretty new at it but I am addicted to roaming the landscape collecting materials, hunting animals (or avoiding them) and completing tasks, graphics are realistic...

So far it's the best game of 2016 haven't put it away at keep playing in explain it love it there in Far Cry 4

This is savage. One minute you're watching someone being ripped to death by a sabre-toothed tiger. The next, you're stumbling into a campsite to find cannibals feasting on roasted human limbs.

So here we have a new spin on Far Cry . Long gone are the Trigens and other mutated creations from Dr Krieger on the exotic tropical island that Jack Carver ended up on.
