Unpopular opinion, best Far Cry by far. No guns, more creating your own weapons and useful items. Making and populating your own village. Just all around a good game and an amazing time killer!

Ubisoft and innovation are usually mortal enemies, but FC Primal is a rare exception. It’s unlike any other FC game, and it gave me a high no other FC ever has. Nothing compares to the feeling of driving my spear through a cave man while my huge ass tiger eats another up alive. Survivor Mode at night is pure ingenuity as well, the constant sense of dread and lurking threats is very much a realistic portrayal of nature’s power, where a single mistake can cost you your life. In the first 15 hours of Survivor Permadeath Mode, I truly felt what it’s like to be at the bottom of the food chain. And right after that, how it feels to be an apex predator capable of killing even sabertooths and mammoths. Absolutely fantastic.

I played this for the first time on my PS4 when I was around 15/16 years old, I loved this game then as it was different to any other game I had played. I actually remember contacting Ubisoft etc in attempts to get a Far Cry Primal 2 (desperate and cringe, I know), this was the first game I remember "100%' ing" and learning what achievements/trophies were which made me want to do this more. I've missed this game ever since as I would say this is definitely one of the best games I have EVER played, I was praying that eventually this game would come to Steam with achievements so I can feel like my 15/16 year old self again and when I found out it was I was so excited to play through the story and gain all the achievements again whilst being that bit older. Nearly 10 years later and I can say I still love this game and highly recommend to everyone, some will love or hate this but I thoroughly enjoyed the primal era that it's set in as this era has always intrigued me :).

It’s fun to tame saber-tooth tigers and mammoths, but after a while the missions get repetitive. Still, it’s a cool experience if you love survival + action.
