By far, the most satisfying element in Far Cry Primal has to be beast taming, regardless of how absurd it appears in action.

The setting used to disguise the Far Cry we’ve already seen is fresh and wonderful, it’s easy to sink into this wild, beautiful, majestic world. Primal was put together skillfully, it’s not an outstanding game, but it’s so enjoyable that I devoured it hour after hour with an appetite of a cave bear. [04/2016, p.28]

Meu jogo favorito até agora, zerei 3 vezes, o jogo não tem muita história (pedir isso já é demais, um jogo da Ubisoft com humanos primitivos) a parte mais chata é a movimentação até porque o meio de transporte mais rápido é o Tigre Dente de Sabre, talvez eu tenha gostado tanto por causa do tema de animais pré históricos, por causa desse jogo comprei o Far Cry 3 e 6, uma dica, se for platinar o jogo primeiro pegue todos os totens espirituais, pra achar mais fácil pegue um mapa na internet, depois disso NÃO FAÇA AS MISSÕES QUE DÃO PONTO DE HABILIDADE você tem que deixar pro final, e não escolha o modo difícil (sobrevivência o nome se não engano) não dá pra fazer a missão da coruja.

Far Cry primal es un juegazo, la ambientación y la jugabilidad es lo que más destaca, la idea de domar animales, mejorar tus herramientas etc me parece muy bien y te engancha a la hora de coger los materiales para mejorar estos. Algo malo que puedo sumar es que el juego sufre de Bugs que pueden arruinar la experiencia y las misiones a la larga se hacen repetitiva. La historia es buena, me gusta que la historia se trate de proteger a tu tribu y luego acabar con las otras. Los personajes también están bien. Personajes como Karoosh son muy buenos y consigues empatizar con algunos de ellos, pero otros como Urki no me llaman mucho la atención, pero al menos sus misiones son diferentes a otras. Conclusión, Far Cry Primal es un buen juego, con alguno que otro error pero fuera de eso es muy disfrutable y lo recomiendo mucho.

Far Cry Primal is a fantastic standalone title that also has enough historical research meat to keep history nerds happy.

Far Cry Primal is a great example of trying new things in a smart and relatively safe manner, demonstrating how a popular series can keep itself invigorated. While other venerable franchises like Call of Duty are afraid to challenge themselves and make only halfhearted gestures toward invention, Primal plots a course through uncharted waters with a battle-tested vessel and actually commits to making its new ideas more than vapid window dressing. The result?...You can ride on a goddamn bear. Enough said.

My Review – Far Cry Primal – 10/10 I gave Far Cry Primal a 10 out of 10 because it’s the most underrated Far Cry game. The prehistoric setting is unique, immersive, and unlike anything else in the series, and surviving with primitive weapons feels intense and rewarding. Taming animals, exploring the world, and fighting rival tribes makes the game feel fresh and memorable. The atmosphere, sound design, and world-building are incredible, and it deserves way more credit than it gets. This is why Far Cry Primal is a 10/10 — the most underrated Far Cry game.

Simply incredible, the game has some bad things but only a couple. Without a doubt, this is the best game I've ever played and I hope they make another game like this. 10/10

The new prehistoric setting is amazing: swapping armed soldiers for tribesmen, a rifle for a bow and arrow, and er, regular elephants for woolly elephants - it all creates a very different atmosphere...However a lot of the game feels like déjà vu for anyone who’s played the previous one. The same setup of missions, the forming of alliances and expanding your territory, the same crazy-old guy character with a dead animal on his noggin, and even the same hallucinogenic discovery missions are all lifted straight from it. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make Primal feel like a spin-off rather than it’s own game.

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.

Ubisoft has recycled many ideas from previous titles and adapted them to the Stone Age, which is why Far Cry Primal features repetitive gameplay and unmemorable missions. Even so, it is a very bold gamble, with a renewed graphics and a big change for the Far Cry series, being more stealth oriented.

While Far Cry Primal is a well-made experience, one I enjoyed a great deal, it oftentimes had me thinking about the routine the series has settled into, and envisioning a future where the Far Cry formula may not be as compelling as it once was, no matter how extraordinary the setting.

Is it a good game? That’s the wrong question. The truest thing about Far Cry Primal is that above all else, and at the expense of all else, it’s an effective game.

If you're a die-hard Far Cry fan craving more from the series, Far Cry Primal might scratch that itch, but for others, it might not hit the mark. Unlike its spin-off counterparts like Blood Dragon and New Dawn, Far Cry Primal feels like a step back, especially when sandwiched between Far Cry 4 and Far Cry **** absence of guns in a Far Cry game is a notable departure, and it's felt keenly in the clunky combat mechanics. The reliance on bows and melee weapons leads to a repetitive gameplay loop that lacks the adrenaline rush of gunplay. The combat feels especially cumbersome on console, with a tight field of view exacerbating the confusion in melee **** open-world checklist formula, a staple of the series since Far Cry 3, continues here without much innovation. The world of Far Cry Primal doesn't offer much in terms of uniqueness or freshness compared to its predecessors. The story and characters also fail to leave a lasting impression, with most feeling flat and unremarkable. However, Far Cry Primal does have its moments of enjoyment. The creature-taming mechanic adds a layer of excitement as predatory animals become your allies, with later creatures feeling downright overpowered. Watching your sabertooth tiger tear through an outpost is undeniably satisfying. Technical issues mar the experience, with frequent crashes on the PS5 during fast travel. While progress wasn't lost, the interruptions were frustrating and indicative of potential issues with the game's compatibility with the console's SSD. In conclusion, Far Cry Primal offers glimpses of primal delight but falls short of the expectations set by its predecessors and spin-off titles. Unless you're particularly drawn to the Stone Age setting or the creature-taming mechanic, it's hard to wholeheartedly recommend Far Cry Primal over other entries in the series.
