The editors didn't like
Lacks an arch-villain
Tamed owl seems a bit superfluous
Lack of guns and vehicles will turn off some gamers hoping for an even more familiar Far Cry experience
averaging the results from all resolutions it was interesting to see that especially the 980 Ti is really pulling away from all the other contenders It looks like the fully fledged NVIDIA GPU paired up with 6 Gigabyte of VRAM performs very well in combin...

Far Cry Primal is characterized by good optimization which allows for excellent frame-rates providing the resolution doesn't surpass 2560×1440. The GTX 980Ti performs extremely well and even manages to maintain 60 frames-per-second on a 1440P panel. Furth...

Abstract: DSFar Cry Primal is headed into new territory, whisking you back to 10,000 BCE and stripping you of the modern gizmo's and widget's you're accustomed to.It's a bold move from Ubisoft and truth be told, we've probably not played a better prehistoric game t...

Abstract: Finding a game disappointing because of its similarity to last year's instalment is one of the great complaints levelled at the modern industry and its love of annual franchises. Far Cry 4, for example, was certainly accused of being too much like Far Cry...

Fresh and original Stone Age gameplay; tame beasts are a joy to wield; believable and interesting characters (however primitive); unmistakably still a Far Cry game; vast array of side-missions
Lacks an arch-villain; tamed owl seems a bit superfluous; lack of guns and vehicles will turn off some gamers hoping for an even more familiar Far Cry experience
One possible criticism of Far Cry Primal is that it lacks good baddies, which its predecessors featured – Far Cry 4's Pagan Min would have graced a Hollywood film. Batari, leader of the Izila, is pretty great in Primal though: she's surprisingly att...

The Far Cry template is always good for mindless fun, Oros is a beautiful, and surprisingly changeable, land, Training animals is a great sidequest/mechanic
Lacks a clear focus, making the whole affair aimless, Prehistoric inventory is brave, but limited, Reduces its weirdest ideas to distractions
Primal takes the great structure of the Far Cry series, but little of its character. No clear goal and a limited arsenal end up making this feel a little prehistoric itself...
Ride mammoths, sic saber-tooths, set fires, Stone Age setting is perfect for an open world, Big moments are thrilling, Freedom to explore and tinker
Hunting, crafting, gathering become tedious and repetitive, Exciting moments too few and far between, “Hunter Vision” over-simplifies core activities
Far Cry Primal is packed full of stuff to do, just like every other open world game in publisher Ubisoft's growing stable of the genre. It does some interesting things by applying the formula to a Stone Age setting, but like other Far Cry titles, it's so...

Being the Beast Master, Improved combat, Stone Age setting
Missions are often too easy, Supporting characters too shallow, Gameplay too similar to 4
My time with the game was a disjointed set of activities The addition of animal companions and exchange of guns for spears, rocks, and a good old club isn't enough to convince me of Primal's vision. My time with the game was a disjointed set of activitie...
