Overall Far Cry Primal successfully uses the Far Cry 4 engine to create something new that is refreshing and original.

An endlessly entertaining sandbox shooter that delivers powerful prehistoric thrills with ease. [Apr 2016, p.60]

Far Cry Primal is a fantastic departure from the usual FPS adventure. While it is formulaic, in a Far Cry sense, a rich and detailed world, as well as tons to see and do, make this an adventure worth taking.

In a certain way, Far Cry Primal remains faithful to the original open-world formula, but somehow, in the Prehistoric Age, the freedom of the player really shines at its brightest. Ubisoft didn't waste resources on the multiplayer, and focused instead on a solid and intriguing story mode, immersed in a world so raw and savage to become majestic. A true far cry from what we usually play.

Far Cry Primal is the Stone Age survival game we never expected from the Triple A industry, complete with a lush prehistoric world you can explore for hours.

That said, I absolutely loved my time with Primal though and to see a game set in this time period, with no guns, and with high production values just seems completely experimental and bold.

Idea of using stone age as game setting is best thing since inventing fire. [March 2016]
