With roughlyВ five months between the announcement and release of the game, Far Cry Primal saw a fast-paced marketing campaign that readied players to travel back far before recorded history. The newest installment, Far Cry Primal, transports players to a prehistoric time, where they must survive against both warring tribes and wild beasts using only Stone Age weapons. Players have been taken to far-off locations like lush jungle islands, a fictional country in the Himalayan mountains and even a retro вЂ™80s sci-fi universe where they combat a blood dragon.

Maybe IвЂ™ll check it out in a couple of years.Unlike annual releases like AssassinвЂ™s Creed, the Far Cry series has much more flexibility in what it covers. ItвЂ™s a shame they shoehorned the pre-historic setting into yet another formula game though. As always in Far Cry, setting an entire village on fire is an elegant and often accidental solution to the problem of dug-in resistance. And three, all of your primary weapons are flammable. Two, bows, spears and clubs have relatively long wind-up and recovery periods, which creates a pleasant amount of stress when taking aim at a charging rhino. One, Takkar canвЂ™t carry as much ammunition as his predecessors (you only have room for a couple of spears at the outset), so fighting at range is more considered, a real question of picking your moments. The weapons may sound underwhelming on paper but there are a few fun ramifications. It begins with your arsenal, a selection of bows, spears and clubs backed up by throwables such as poisoned darts that send enemies berserk, and pots of bees for use against close-knit groups. Here is a little of what makes it different though:ДЄnother not-quite-developed thread is hunting and taming, though this is definitely the part of Primal that does most to earn the price of admission.

Sadly, it is indeed just a new skin for the same old game.

The original Far Cry, though, is awesome. IвЂ™m not even going to get into this again. Or you buy one online, which then grants you an unlimited supply of them at your safe houses? Right. Everything is barely functional scrap unless itвЂ™s in the hands of the enemy. I mean what is there to actually do? Run around looking for briefcases with diamonds in them, which might be the dumbest gameplay element in history if not for the alternative-hacking into radio towers to get missions to kill random people. If not for the psychopathic humans whose only AI routine is to HATEMURDERKILL if they so much as catch a glimpse of you in the distance, one might legitimately confuse the game for a tech demo. The game is just a failure in every respect save for the engine. Hell, Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat are two of my favorite games ever, but Far Cry 2 is to STALKER what rice cakes are to real cakes. So many people think itвЂ™s absolutely brilliant, and then so many people (myself included) think itвЂ™s just a soulless piece of crap in a pretty wrapper. I canвЂ™t think of another game that is as confusingly divisive as Far Cry 2.
