Lacks an arch-villain

Lack of guns and vehicles will turn off some gamers hoping for an even more familiar Far Cry experience
Abstract: There aren't many modern first person shooter franchises that could release a game set 12,000 years prior to all previous entries and not miss a beat. Without some kind of clumsy alien or time travel conceit, the likes of Call of Duty or Halo would have a tough time on an Earth lacking firearms. But then, the shooting was never what made Far Cry so interesting....
Far Cry Primal does little to reinvent the series established formula, sometimes taking it backwards more than its new time period may suggest. It's filled to the brim with the familiar and fun Far Cry trappings, if that's what you want out of the game. I...
Abstract: Far Cry has always made you the alpha predator. Or, at the very least, it's made you feel like one with an armoury's worth of weaponry, a multitude of gear to give you an edge over enemies and an unparalleled sense of freedom when it came down to engaging...
Excellent Rendition of 10,000 BC, Jaw Dropping Live Events, Polished Skill Tree, Creative Freedom while Hunting, SFX
Melee Combat System, Limited Weaponry, Minimal inCombat Creativity, Lack of Far Cry Signature moments, Reusage of older Far Cry missions
Far Cry Primal is a solid return to the franchise, but to count this as the franchise moving forward, would be slightly untrue. Primal rides on Mammoths, Jaw Dropping Visual, Live Events and one of the greatest SFX since Alien: Isolation. The Melee combat...
No guns and vehicles, but Far Cry Primal is still an excellent game. The makers deserve praise for taking the game back in time, and delivering an astonishing setting. They have moved away from previous Far Cry concepts, but have stuck to the franchise's...

Beautiful, highly detailed environments and creatures, Greater focus on melee and beast companions makes combat much more involved and personal, Excellent PC port
Lacks impactful, eccentric NPCs, and story suffers for it, Gameplay doesn't evolve much past the first few hours and becomes repetitive
A change of scenery does the Far Cry shooter series good. Primal's caveman drama, beast-taming, and prehistoric hunting are highly satisfying, even though we've tread this ground before. Can we get dinosaurs next, please...

Far Cry Primal succeeds in transporting the Far Cry formula back in time and comes to the table with a quiver of neat ideas and a dangerous and fascinating open world. The visceral and varied combat is fun, the beast-based gameplay is a winner, and the lu...
Quirky cast of characters, Beast taming, Great combat, Looks gorgeous
So-so story, Rating (out of 10): 9, We played a review copy of Far Cry Primal on the PS4. The game is available on the PS4 and Xbox One for Rs. 3,499 from February 23. The Windows PC version will be available from March 1, ->
Abstract: After the last Far Cry series was met with “Far Cry 3.5” accusations, Ubisoft have gone a little crazy. They've moved the open-world FPS series back 12,000 years and removed guns, vehicles, radios, gliders, and most of the other trappings of the series. A...
