The editors didn't like

Vast open world full of opportunity, Perfect balance of intricate skill systems, Killer Pets, Immersive mix of graphics and sound

Abstract: Like most modern, multi-hour, sorta-RPG games, you start off relatively weak. You don't even have a weapon at the open of the game and have to craft one by finding wood and reeds to build a bow. Everything you create in “Primal” comes from Mother Nature...

Beautiful, highly detailed environments and creatures, Greater focus on melee and beast companions makes combat much more involved and personal, Excellent PC port

Abstract: Far Cry Primal is frequently violent and occasionally, unexpectedly sweet. The caveman action game is an excellent concept best experienced by people who haven't been playing every entry in Far Cry, another of gaming's perpetual franchises.It's an iterat...
Ride on the back of a saber-tooth tiger, Fewer long-range weapons means a more dangerous Far Cry
You've already played this game. Probably multiple times, No stakes or proper motivation
Yearly releases are hurting good games. I don't know what the sales data looks like, so I can't speak to that claim from a financial perspective. I'm sure the backroom at Ubisoft has done the calculations and concluded that the number of consumers los...
