                  Well I was liking it...

                  Till I did the last mission and completed it and then boom. Crash. And it never saved or gave me the achievement. I reloaded and I had to start the mission at the temple before getting to the boss. I said nope no more. And all I had was 1 other trophy before I got the platinum. Talk about anger man...

                  That aside, this game started crashing a ton halfway through. It's a miracle I stuck it out. The graphics I liked, the gameplay I liked, the beast aspect I liked. Also, the ease of getting all trophies (minus the crash above) was actually doable. Very similar to god of war in the aspect. The graphics I thought were good for a ps4 game playing on a 5. Stories pretty good too.

                  Idk maybe I will try another newer far cry sometime. But not now. This game has ruined that for now.

                  Great game

                  Really underrated. It's really fun and the weapons and pets are the best part of the game. I liked the villains and the voice acting and animations of the cut scenes where great.

                  Average

                  I really struggled with my rating on this game. On one hand, I really enjoyed the adventure and how unique the game felt compared to the other Far Cry games. Sometimes the main games feel like a copy>paste with a new villain and a couple interesting side characters. The gameplay, story and environment in this game felt incredibly unique and was oftentimes a privilege to explore and immerse into. But that repetitiveness is still painfully present, emerging around the halfway point. Still, though, I played this game all the way through and even attained the platinum trophy, so I can't say that I hated it.

                  In summary: It's playable.

                  This ain't your grandpa's Fred Flintstone

                  Blood Dragon once pulled a full conversion of Far Cry 3 and succeeded with it's writing and style but the gameplay and world felt like afterthoughts. Primal basically pulls the same stunt with Far Cry 4 (note the map similarities) but the developers doubled down on reworking the gameplay and most importunately world into a cohesive package. The narrative may be simplistic but what would one expect from a caveman revenge drama and the game is one of the most original big budget productions in years. Which other game will let you drink human eyeballs to send you on a drug induced mass murder vision! The entire game is actually noteworthy for being one of the most messed up M-rated games of all time due to over the over the top gore, the mentioned drugs, heaps of cannibalism and a lot of full frontal nudity. Primal's fictional language is another noteworthy standout but don't ask me how the dude bro audience will respond to it. Don't expect the same amount of content the standard setting Far Cry 4 brought to the table but Primal sill managed to deliver one of the most believable open-worlds of all time and again proves that the Ubisoft collect-a-thon formula works. The very easy Platinum trophy can lastly be achieved in about 25 hours. 8,5/10

                  A pretty good game, despite flaws

                  Greetings from Lithuania.

                  I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy "Far Cry Primal" (2016) while I was playing its story. It has a unique open world, solid gameplay and ... that is pretty much it. Graphics were OK, story - just a bit below average "Ubisoft type of tory". And everything else here is a very basic game. There is nothing original, and if you played any of "Far Cry" games before, you will be at home and probably a bit disappointed despite a cool settings playing this one.

                  Overall, I Platinum'ed it this game, and it was just OK to be honest. Its pretty easy one, and there is not replay ability for it. A bit unique but eventually one of the most disappointing games in this franchise.

                    This game is set in prehistoric central Europe. Most of the animals are accurate with the time, with the exception of Jaguars (Panthera onca) Dholes (Cuon alpinus) and "Sabre-toothed tigers" (assumingly Smilodon populator). None of the three recognized species of Smilodon (S. populator, fatalis, and gracilis) are recorded in Europe, let alone anywhere else outside of North and South America, as are Jaguars. Dholes are only known to have lived in Southeastern Asia (and their historic range is not known to have extended into Europe).
