"Far Cry Primal is a healthy, well-designed, immensely immersive experiment within an established franchise. Bottom line is we need more developers to take such risks. The result is indeed a fantastic experience due to the blending of multiple genres - survival, adventure, action, first-person, strategy, etc. - and the retaining of a familiar, tried-and-true formula." ...

"Melee combat can be disorienting and the story isn’t all that memorable. Still, Far Cry Primal nails what it does right. Beast Mastery is a great new mechanic, the presentation is fantastic, and most importantly, it feels just like a Far Cry game. Woolly mammoths may have gone extinct, but Primal ensures that the Far Cry franchise won’t follow suit." ... Read full review

"When the freshness of a Far Cry in the Stone Age becomes rotten -and luckily that takes quite a few hours- you’ll realise you’re once again routinely finishing off copious amounts of icons on a huge map. With a little extra time and effort Far Cry Primal could’ve been better than part 4, but now it’s an enjoyable spin-off that feels somewhat like a mod." ... Read full review

This is the best Stone Age game ever done, makes you feel like you are back in time surrounded by this incredible nature and animals.

The game looks great, and it sounds amazing, the open world is vast with tones of things to do.
Another great and fresh addition to the Far Cry games!!… Expand

This is a stunning game , great gameplay and random encounters with enemies and wild animals, the story did feel abit dulled down , but it isThis is a stunning game , great gameplay and random encounters with enemies and wild animals, the story did feel abit dulled down , but it is set in the Stone Age so branching narratives probably wouldn't have worked. As all farcry games comes down to the gameplay and what you do with it , once you tame a few rideable beasts the game really opens up . Loved exploring and discovering all the hidden locations . The melee combat works really well and I'm glad they still made the weapons feel powerful. The graphics also look great , loved the sunlight coming through the trees. The game world feels more real and lived in then other farcry games. I suggest playing this game with headphones to hear all the animals and nature sound going on around you. The animal Ai is amazing with animals moving in packs and herds, Predators hunting their prey. One time I saw two tigers fighting in the distance. I'm glad Ubisoft tried something different with the Stone Age setting. Must buy for any open world fan.… Expand

This is a true AAA game. Graphics, sounds, controls all get an A+

I love the setting. You feel like you really are in the stone age.This is a true AAA game. Graphics, sounds, controls all get an A+

I love the setting. You feel like you really are in the stone age. Sometimes there are too many animals in one region but that is a minor gripe.

Usual Ubisoft open world problems are still here unfortunately. Some repetitive missions and map clearing are unnecessary.

The game's biggest flaw is the two main boss fights. Simply put, they are bad.

Overall though Far Cry Primal is a game well worth the money and I recommend it to anyone who thinks they will enjoy the stone age theme.… Expand

It's not a bad game but it gets repetitive. The best of this game is the enviroment and the idea of making a game based on a very long time ago. About the plot, it's not very interesting, I mean while advancing during the game there is nothing that make you long for more. I was about to stop playing a couple of times but, because it's not very long, I decided to finish it. It took me 17 hours doing most of the things. Honestly, after two hours playing this game there won't be much new things. Plus, I'm not really a fan of the Far Cry series.

PS: The final boss has so much life! I mean he is just like if he was made of iron.… Expand
