Many have called <em>Primal<\/em> &#8220;mediocre&#8221; in the context of the franchise which is an inevitable and inescapable comparison. However, <em>Primal<\/em> has its differences\u2013it&#8217;s more physical than the previous titles and relies\u00a0heavily on survival in the\u00a0heartless Mesolithic period. The natural environment made me feel small in comparison to its towering trees and the multitude of eager predators had me cautiously rounding every corner knowing that at any moment my\u00a0(Takkar&#8217;s) death could be waiting.<\/p>\n<p><em>Far Cry\u00a0Primal<\/em> takes players back in time to an unforgiving era where they play Takkar, a member of the Wenja tribe. Upon losing his immediate\u00a0tribesmen in an ambush, Takkar sets off to find the land of Oros and his remaining tribesmen. Takkar goes about reuniting the Wenja tribe by completing various quests and tasks while bringing back individuals which grant him\u00a0special abilities, weapons, and other accessories. This is where Primal starts to feel like the previous games. The protagonist saves a people in need by overthrowing an evil force or forces. It&#8217;s a plot seen before in many, many games.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"490\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/gamingteacher.blog\/2017\/03\/20\/far-cry-primal\/e51551_c41ff05ee2bd42bb94096cf25323c671\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_c41ff05ee2bd42bb94096cf25323c671.jpg?fit=1136%2C639&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1136,639\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"e51551_c41ff05ee2bd42bb94096cf25323c671\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_c41ff05ee2bd42bb94096cf25323c671.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_c41ff05ee2bd42bb94096cf25323c671.jpg?fit=720%2C405&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  wp-image-490 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_c41ff05ee2bd42bb94096cf25323c671.jpg?resize=600%2C338&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"e51551_c41ff05ee2bd42bb94096cf25323c671\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If the game were to exist on its own, without\u00a0comparisons to the franchise&#8217;s main titles,\u00a0it probably would have received greater praise among critics and players. Think about it. When was the last time you played a game set in 10,000 B.C. where saber-toothed tigers were plentiful? And please don&#8217;t\u00a0say <em>ARK: Survival Evolved<\/em>. The games are miles apart.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of these similarities, <em>Primal<\/em> infuses some fresh air into the franchise. Takkar&#8217;s\u00a0ability as Beast Master\u00a0to tame some really cool animals is a definite plus for me. One of the things I really enjoyed from the previous games was sneaking up to an enemy outpost and setting the resident caged tiger or bear loose to wreak havoc. In Primal, not only do you have the option to set caged animals loose, but you can directly command one of your tamed companions to attack enemies or help you hunt down\u00a0wounded prey. My cave lion Bertha\u00a0saved my back on numerous occasions.<\/p>\n<p>While previous <em>Far Cry<\/em> games included limited survival elements, Primal takes survival and crafting to a\u00a0new level. Takkar must constantly collect natural supplies such as rocks, clay, and various plants throughout the game&#8217;s three biomes. There are huts to build and weapons to upgrade.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"492\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/gamingteacher.blog\/2017\/03\/20\/far-cry-primal\/e51551_5a0db22bab5248008203cb9eb2c71027\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_5a0db22bab5248008203cb9eb2c71027.jpg?fit=1136%2C639&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1136,639\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"e51551_5a0db22bab5248008203cb9eb2c71027\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_5a0db22bab5248008203cb9eb2c71027.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_5a0db22bab5248008203cb9eb2c71027.jpg?fit=720%2C405&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  wp-image-492 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_5a0db22bab5248008203cb9eb2c71027.jpg?resize=600%2C338&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"e51551_5a0db22bab5248008203cb9eb2c71027\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Primal&#8217;s gameplay is solid and the combat is satisfying. Admittedly the weapon variety is limited but consider the period. Sure, the game asks players to suspend their disbelief on a number of the game&#8217;s features, but it must balance the fantastical with the realistic to a certain extent. Assault rifles just don&#8217;t fit in Oros. If you&#8217;re tired of tossing spears at everything with four legs vary your approach. The game follows in the line of <em>Far Cry<\/em> tradition in casting players into unique environments and enabling players to approach scenarios in a variety of ways. This is what I love about <em>Far Cry<\/em>, and <em>Primal<\/em> is no different.<\/p>\n<p>As much as I have enjoyed my time running past woolly rhinos and setting every Udam settlement on fire, the franchise could use a break. People talk about &#8220;franchise fatigue&#8221; with <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed<\/em> and it has become true for Far Cry as well. <em>Primal<\/em> is not a bad game by any means\u00a0but, with a break, I believe Ubisoft could deliver an expansive and revolutionary experience with the inevitable\u00a0<em>Far Cry 5<\/em>. If you barely made it through <em>Far Cry 4<\/em>, you should probably pass <em>Primal<\/em> up.\u00a0If you easily tire from crafting and if you&#8217;re going to miss the standard weaponry of past games, don&#8217;t buy <em>Primal<\/em>.\u00a0<em>Primal<\/em> is a complete, functional, and fun game that strays\u00a0from the norm in a few significant ways. It&#8217;s not revolutionary, but it has its differences.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"494\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/gamingteacher.blog\/2017\/03\/20\/far-cry-primal\/e51551_bba08f80683a4397b34e419273293050\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_bba08f80683a4397b34e419273293050.jpg?fit=1136%2C639&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1136,639\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"e51551_bba08f80683a4397b34e419273293050\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_bba08f80683a4397b34e419273293050.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_bba08f80683a4397b34e419273293050.jpg?fit=720%2C405&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  wp-image-494 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/e51551_bba08f80683a4397b34e419273293050.jpg?resize=600%2C338&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"e51551_bba08f80683a4397b34e419273293050\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">[Bertha]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">In terms of the technical stuff, <em>Primal\u00a0<\/em>runs consistently\u00a0at a solid 30 fps.
