Far Cry Primal tells you it’s sending you back to 10,000 BCE but feels more like it’s placed you down in a wildlife reserve with a couple of mammoths, sabretooth tigers and only some neanderthal looking npc’s.
Now, I know it’ll make some Far Cry fans hate me - but this genuinely out of the three Far Cry games I’ve played (and the two I’ve completed) is probably the most enjoyable time I’ve had in the franchise yet.
Maybe it’s because theres no cars with the weird feeling of controlling them? Maybe it’s the lack of guns and focus on melee weapons and bows / spears?
I did find the tamed animals could be irritating and get in the way all the damn time, especially when trying to loot bodies - and why do they all seem to have no health whatsoever? Every single time I was in combat they’d be dead within seconds.
However, I found the smaller world less overwhelming and made me actually want to explore it - knowing I wouldnt spend 40 hours doing the same things over and over.
