I was going hit this as recommended, then I changed my mind last night after six more hours with it. It's a great game, different, a load of fun and definitely one I'd suggest getting if you want something different in your first person shooters.

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.

Ubisoft nearly fooled me. For the first few hours of Far Cry Primal , I firmly believed this was an all-new experience. The prehistoric setting was something I hadn't seen before (no, Turok fans, those games don't count). The realistic crafting seemed to challenge me to be more creative.
