Far Cry: Primal feels like one long, optional side mission.

The 'Primal" experience is very different from a typical 'Far Cry', and indeed most shooters in general. Because of the prehistoric setting, these cavepeople have no guns or explosives - their most advanced projectiles are flint-tipped arrows fired from simple wooden bows.

If only the developers had taken this side of things further. As things stand, Primal's endgame feels like it should be the start of a journey away from a formula that is losing its lustre.
