They opted to ditch the more linear storylines that Far Cry has been known for, instead going with a more open-world design. The frustrating thing is you can tell that Ubisoft felt they were delivering more discovery (this is from the caveman mindset). While it’s nice to be able to plan out your build, the transparency here-and in many other parts of the game-took away a sense of discovery that Primal could have benefited from. Unfortunately, this means that within minutes of starting the game, from a menu page, I knew nearly the entire possible cast of the game.
For example, by proving your worth to Jayma-a seasoned huntress-you gain access to skills like “Tag Enemies,” or by friending the warrior Karoosh, you can learn brutal shard takedown maneuvers.įrom the start, you can see all of the trees along with who you need to acquire to open each branch.

In your way are the cannibalistic Udam, the sun-worshipping Izila, and more than an arkful of prehistoric creatures.Īs in previous Far Cry games, you level up through a series of skill trees. Filling the loincloth of Takkar, you must unite the people of Oros to ensure the survival of the Wenja tribe. Primal fits the established Far Cry action-adventure vibe, dropping the player into a wondrous and foreign world.
The battle between creating a Far Cry game and delivering the “caveman” experience is at the heart of this identity crisis, and the two philosophies often worked against each other, dulling sharp ideas and crippling brand tenets. I sat down, ready to be immersed in Far Cry Primal’s world-surely an epic to be painted upon cavern walls-but instead found Ubisoft’s newest release to be confusing and conflicted.
