Customers recognize Far Cry Primal's engaging gameplay and immersive prehistoric setting as major highlights, with positive feedback also directed toward the story and animal taming mechanics. However, some players found the map design unoriginal and the repetitive nature of the later game stages to be drawbacks. The ease of use and price point were also frequently praised. A few players mentioned that the language barrier presented by the game's setting was a minor inconvenience.

Primal, which plays much like the other titles in the FarCry franchise, has far and away the best, most complex rendering, not only of any title in the series, but also of about any game on the current market. Excellent story line, absorbing game play action and a truly gigantic open world. A solid month of gaming for a completist.

Whether you are a seasoned FarCry fanatic, or a newcomer this game will blow your mind!!! An amazing concept exploring this time period! Graphics are completely insane, gameplay is traditional FarCry combined with a new and refreshing arsenal of primtative weapons. With the open-world concept and multiple side-missions and engaging story I definitely felt I received my money's worth. I have 36 hours in the game and I'm still not 100% complete. I do admit at times (if your grinding away at side missions) the game can feel repetitious, but there are plenty of ways to occupy your time to break up the monotony. Go buy this game. You won't be disappointed.

This is one of my most played games because it's much different from the other Far Cry games, including another favorite of mine which is Far Cry 4. It takes place in prehistoric times where civilization is made up of different tribes where some are friendly and others that are hostile. There is a lot to do and many places to explore since the game world is huge. It takes time to complete missions for the Wenja tribe who you help fight off their enemies and assist them when they need help. There are no guns in this game which is a refreshing change. You use only weapons that would be available in that period of history such as bows and arrows, spears, clubs, slingshots, etc. You also can learn from other tribes about more advanced weaponry such as poison gas and fire bombs. You can also learn mystical powers such as beast taming and potions that will make you resistant to poisons and build up powers to help you complete the missions. There is also an owl that you will acquire which will act like a drone searching out and attacking enemies. The artwork is beautiful and is fun just to explore but unfortunately it is a hostile world where man and beast are trying to kill you. The sound is excellent with all of the different animal sounds and languages spoken by the different tribes. Controls are buttery smooth. Far Cry Primal is a game that will not be completed in one weekend but should be played as it was intended which is to enjoy the mystery and wonder of those times. Highly Recommended.
