When Far Cry 4 graced my console, I fully expected to unleash chaos in the Himalayan-inspired Kyrat, while mostly enjoying the same old activities I've grown to love in Far Cry 3. I totally did .

Far Cry Primal is, despite being a spin-off from the core series, still very much a Far Cry game; You'll still perform stealthy takedowns, snipe with your bow and arrow, tag enemies before you take over an encampment, hunt animals for their resources and craft new items to continually be a better...

Even though the setting provided a necessary backdrop for the characters and ultimately made the main player character much more believable; I didn't find myself caring too much about the Wenja tribe and their growth; despite it being the game's core mechanic; Both Far Cry predecessors also featured...
