I think this game is fantastic. It's not by any means a story based game or an rpg where you can micromanage stats but as it is, it works. Arcade style fps at it's finest. Very easy for anyone to just pick up and play but can get much harder the higher the difficulty and lots of things to unlock to keep you playing. Characters of different classes, varied magical artifacts and a countless amount of perks. The graphics are quite good for what it is and the sound is about as good. I would only say that the enemy variation is too limited. The variation of areas is just enough but I feel the random generation could have been a bit better. I also wish local and online co-op was an option, that would truly make this game great. It would be a 10/10 for me if it had at least twice as many enemy types and co-op though that probably sounds greedy.

I do honestly really love this game but most people have said what needs to be said about what is good (It looks great, it sounds great, it plays great etc.) I'll just add the problems I had with it. The first and most obvious is the story which is just really short and boring. I won't say much more but if you've seen the trailer you've seen practically the entire story to be honest. Second the AI was extremely disappointing for me. Not for the people, I expect cave men to be dumb but the animals. Since this game is as hunting focused as it is action focused I expected animals to have realistic AI like stalking as packs and moving as herds. Animals are just the same as they always have been though if they see you they charge at you. And at night... ugh. The trailer said the predators would be dangerous which led me to believe they might just follow you in the shadows and wait for a moment until you're vulnerable. Not so, instead it means a pack of wolves spawns every 20 ft so you are literally fighting 6 packs of wolves per night every night. It kind of makes doing anything else at night a lot less enjoyable. The third and the biggest problem with the game I find is the crafting system. It seems like very little thought was put into this area because you can grind through everything in 10 hours if you want too. The fact there is no customization of weapons at all is painful to me. I imagined getting to paint my bow and maybe have a few carvings to pick from to put on it, some feathers, gemstones maybe, bones but you literally get 3 bows in the game. NO SIGNATURE WEAPONS like wtf?I only really ever use one bow and it looks hideous? That doesn't sound like Farcry... It was a great effort though, it just needed to innovate a bit more and maybe take a bit more from the survival games it wanted to be at times.

The graphics are nice but horribly lacking in content. It might as well be called Star Wars: Walker Assault because that's the only thing worth playing and the three maps offered get stale real fast. Definitely doesn't compare to the earlier entries in the series.
