Far Cry Primal Reviews
The Mesolithic setting and the unique opportunity to sample life 10,000 BCE combined with Far Cry’s most iconic features makes it a must buy for those yet to sample the Far Cry franchise but for veteran’s of Ubisoft’s chaotic take on survival, it’s very much more of the same.
A decent entry that retains the series' signature feel, with a large world brimming with activities and chaos, but lacks anything new to give it its own unique feel.

Ubisoft promised a new feeling with Far Cry Primal, and in some sense they weren't completely wrong. Some mechanics of the game do feel slightly "copy and paste" from its earlier games – Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4, but it does bring its own taste and twists that puts this game in its own category.
Far Cry: Primal offers a beautifully laid out and vast land crying to be explored. It has strong moments in its empty wilderness but is missing that final climax that keeps it from feeling like a complete, genre-defining experience.
Far Cry Primal, however, falls flat in some aspects. The story is remarkably simple and the characters aren't that engaging. Though credit to the makers in developing a unique culture and language for your protagonist. The game's lacking variety means there isn't much of a learning curve after the initial few hours your style may become set and this sets you up for the entire game. And there isn't ever much of a need to change your style afterwards.
Far Cry Primal delivers a fascinating open world to explore.
Far Cry Primal does enough to shake off the feeling that it's just Far Cry 4 with a different coat on. Exploration is the name of the game and the story kind of takes a back seat. Obviously the game follows the Ubisoft open-world playbook to the page and doesn't skip a beat, but it's actually a refreshing palette cleanser to do away with the futuristic shooters that have bombarded the market in recent years.
Far Cry Primal bietet das bisher beste Setting für die Serie, verliert sich aber ein wenig im schlechten Storytelling und der recycelten Umgebung aus Far Cry 4. Das crafting und Ressourcen sammeln hat noch nie so viel Spaß und vor allem Sinn gemacht, wie in Primal. Fans von Tiere zähmen und Sachen anzünden, können hier ohne Bedenken zugreifen.

Ubisoft has taken us back in Far Cry: Primal to a time period that is new and fresh to the FPS genre. Sadly, it has a story that is forgettable and uses the same formula we have come to expect from every Far Cry game. However, some fans will enjoy some of the changes to the fun gameplay we know and love.
Far Cry Primal is a breath of fresh air when it comes to first person action games. It simplifies good old Far Cry formula but still delivers robust gameplay enriched with multitude of companions and weapon upgrades. If you like bows and spears it's a must. The only let down is heavy use of mystics and not relying on down to earth believable story.

Far Cry Primal is still a good game like its predecessors, but regrettably, Ubisoft is treading the same old waters. However, if you want "just" another Far Cry, you're at the right spot. So far, this recipe is still working, but the next entry of the franchise deservers more innovations.

The world of Far Cry Primal is alive and rich with diverse flora and fauna that bring out the hunter/gatherer in you. The tools and weapons you use offer a refreshing take on shooting games. However the weak story and uninspired villains makes the game feel somewhat directionless.
