Far Cry Primal Review – Basic Instinct (PS4)

I’ve always wondered what humans did before video games. I’ve tried to ask my parents but I tend to get bored after a few words and stop listening. I don’t think I’d ever make it in a primal, survival based scenario. I’m far too used to the luxuries of modern life. Far Cry has always been about taking players…

  • Attention to detail creates a living prehistoric setting
  • Soundscape and global lighting are enthralling
  • Riding a saber tooth tiger into a camp of cannibals wielding a flaming spear
  • Urki
  • Authenticity to primitive culture disconnects player from characters
  • Lack of meaningful backstory or motivation throughout
  • Underneath all that cave paint, there's a ton of repeated quests
  • Ull and Batari are not Vaas or Pagan Min levels of memorable
