                  Far Cry Primal: A Raw Adventure in the Stone Age

                  Far Cry Primal takes a bold leap by transporting players to the Mesolithic Age, a time when survival was paramount, and nature ruled supreme. Set in the sprawling, prehistoric land of Oros, the game does an impressive job of immersing players in a world without modern technology, replacing guns and explosives with clubs, spears, and primal instincts. This shift in setting and gameplay gives Far Cry Primal a unique place in the series, delivering a raw, visceral adventure unlike any other.

                  You play as Takkar, a skilled hunter and last surviving member of his tribe, the Wenja. Your mission to unite your scattered people and defend them against rival tribes-the brutish Udam and the fire-worshipping Izila-offers a compelling narrative that resonates with the primal struggle for survival. The game introduces a fascinating "Beast Master" mechanic, allowing Takkar to tame wild animals like wolves, sabretooths, and even mammoths to aid in combat. These animal companions add a new layer of strategy and companionship, making each encounter feel both tense and thrilling.

                  The world of Oros is beautifully rendered, with dense forests, frozen caves, and treacherous cliffs that feel alive with the sounds of nature. Exploring this ancient world is a pleasure, and the game's use of a proto-Indo-European-inspired language adds authenticity, making it feel like a journey back in time. Every aspect, from the crafting of primitive weapons to the reliance on fire for survival, heightens the immersive experience and makes you appreciate the brutal realities of the Stone Age.

                  If there's a minor critique, it's that the lack of modern weaponry may feel limiting for some longtime Far Cry fans. The absence of guns and vehicles, while fitting for the setting, might make the combat feel repetitive over time.

                  Overall, Far Cry Primal is a daring and fresh take on the series that succeeds in creating an atmospheric and challenging survival experience. For fans of the franchise and newcomers alike, it's a beautifully crafted journey into our ancient past, offering a unique twist that's both engaging and unforgettable.

                  Original concept but i need to say that i couldnt finish it

                  The game have an interesting concept. But i need to say that the game is pretty limited in weapons, vehicles because they didnt exist at this time but it have an original story but i need to say that i couldnt finish it. Its good but pretty boring after 3 hours. The missions are pretty the same and feel repetitive. I enjoyed the characters but that s it. Good but thats it.

                  A literal and physical step backwards for the franchise

                  After playing Primal for a good 8 hours I am speechless, and not in the kind of way where you might be speechless after seeing a newborn baby, speechless as you would be after a terrorist attack, it really is that bad. It made absolutely no sense for the franchise to go back 10,000 years, I mean sure it's an original idea that we haven't seen before but there is a definite reason for that! One of the best parts of previous Far Cry games is the option to fully customise a myriad of different weapons depending on what type of player you were. In Primal there's only so much customising you can do to a Club. Yawn Yawn Yawn. The different characters you meet throughout the game are hard to make a connection with, and the fact they don't speak English is very frustrating, I know the developers wanted to stay authentic to the time period which isn't a bad move I guess, just very frustrating for the player, As I've previously said, I played 8 hours and quickly got bored of the tedious gameplay and flat missions, go here kill this guy take over this camp etc. To summarise there are so many more better games £40 can buy you, don't waste it on this drivel!

                  Apocalypto meets 10,000 BC

                  I love this game I think the world is enjoyable and rivetingly beautiful it's like Takkar is the main character in Apocalypto

                  The only thing I didn't enjoy was the in-game voices Hands down I love the game

                  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).
