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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Honestly, when "Far Cry Primal" first caught my eye, I looked at its prehistoric setting, scratched my head, and thought, "How is "Far Cry" supposed to work without guns, explosions, and radio towers?" But the project intrigued me with its unusual concept. As it turns out, the developers simply took the familiar formula of the series and wrapped it - quite successfully - in a Stone Age skin, handed me a spear, and sent me off to survive.
The first thing I did in the game? I went after a mammoth. Well, why not? I'm the hero. With a spear. A minute later, I "became" the hero lying breathless under the feet of a massive beast. Fun though! Lesson learned: a mammoth is not a boar - don't charge in without a plan.
What truly impressed me was the graphics. The visuals and the detailed, ancient-world environments are stunning. "Primal's" world is rich with atmosphere - overgrown thickets, dense forests, firelit camps, fur-clad people - everything's crafted with care. Just wandering through this prehistoric land is a pleasure. It feels like you're in a living documentary about the Stone Age - only you can break, burn, or tame everything. No cars, no cities, no radio chatter - just howling beasts at night, the sound of rivers, campfires under the stars, and constant reminders that you're a snack for half the local wildlife. But that's part of the thrill - you always feel like you're living on the edge. Lose focus, and you're gone. But when you hunt smart, gear up right, and prepare for surprises - it's incredibly satisfying.
Yes, there is a plot. It doesn't aim too high, but it works. The people speak in some fictional primitive language - which, instead of being annoying, actually adds immersion. Thanks to subtitles, we understand their thoughts. The missions are fairly varied: you can go hunting, raid enemy camps, gather supplies for your village, build huts, and unlock certain perks.
Despite its Stone Age setting, there's plenty of weaponry: spears, clubs, bows, flaming arrows - everything you need for a cozy evening raid. It's all well-executed: throwing a spear at an enemy isn't just point-and-shoot - and smashing someone with a heavy club? That's pure satisfaction.
And then there's the beast taming. That's just awesome. One animal becomes your ride from point A to B. Another - a snarling, mobile attack unit. A third - an owl scout that gives you a bird's-eye view of enemy locations. It's a brilliant mechanic.
Another thing that stood out was the progression system for both the player and the village. In "Primal", you're not just some lone wanderer in the forest - you're an important tribe member, and that means responsibilities. You need to build shelters, gather resources, rescue tribe members (who'll move into your village and give you quests). As your village grows, so do your capabilities - unlocking new skills and weapons. You really feel the progress, and that's satisfying.
Resource gathering is essential. Without collecting wood, stone, and other primitive bits, you won't get far. Or rather - you won't get "anywhere", since there's no transport. But it's done organically: gather wood - craft arrows, tame an animal - boost confidence, collect animal fat - make firebombs. It's logical and intuitive.
All in all, "Far Cry Primal" is a true "Far Cry" - just without the guns and helicopters. And that prehistoric twist adds a lot of charm. Sure, it may not appeal to everyone, especially if you're into modern firepower. But if you're craving something different - wild, furry, and toothy - this is it. For me, it turned out to be a surprisingly good and memorable game. Yes, the plot's simple, but the atmosphere and uniqueness make up for it. It's a great excuse to imagine what it's like to hunt mammoths in the Stone Age instead of crouching in a trench with an assault rifle.

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!
