Primal manages to take the Ubi template and do something not precisely new with it, but something engaging all the same.

Far Cry Primal is truly a breath of fresh air for the FPS genre. The setting is original and the gameplay elements that go along with it work perfectly. The world of Oros is truly a thing of beauty and it is so easy to get lost just living within its confines. From hunting, to exploring, to actually pursuing mission objectives, there is so much to do that it almost feels like you're living a second life. If you're looking for the shooter that does more than just shooting, Far Cry continues to be one of your best options.

I found Primal far more entertaining than Far Cry 4. But it's getting harder and harder to overlook the series' systematic regurgitation of ideas and concepts.

Successfully uses the Far Cry 4 engine to create something new that is refreshing and original.

The prehistoric setting adds little to the Far Cry formula, while taking away several key features - even if the overall experience is still enjoyable.
