Or at least it would be if Far Cry Primal wasn’t so damn easy.Īnyone expecting a challenge will have to force one out of this game, intentionally keeping yourself low level or not upgrading skills, as it’s arguably the easiest Far Cry game to date (an update after release has seen a survival mode added which does up the difficulty).Īs stories go the battling tribes’ idea isn’t a terrible one & characters like Takkar & Sayla are interesting.
Throw in one of the most hostile environments ever seen in a Far Cry game & what you have is a desperate survival situation. The Izila tribe are also on the war path with their leader looking to sacrifice the Wenja to the sun god. Unfortunately for Takkar the Udam aren’t the only tribe vying for control of Oros. Takkar & the Wenja manage to fight of the Udam who remain behind & it becomes clear that the only way the Wenja will be able to survive is to kill Ull & destroy the Udam. Takkar & Sayla begin to re-build the village, bringing in other Wenja but they are attacked by Ull & the Udam who refuse to let them live in peace. This rival tribe are led by the uncompromising Ull & they survive in the harsh winters of the North by eating the bodies of their victims. There he meets Sayla another Wenja who tells him that their tribe has been scattered far & wide across Oros after having been attacked by the brutal Udam. Everyone but Takkar is killed who manages to escape ending up in the land of Oros. Takkar of the Wenja tribe, is part of a hunting party that are attacked by a sabretooth tiger. Far Cry Primal was released for Xbox One in 2016 & puts players in the role of Takkar. Instead of focusing on modern day timelines or futuristic stories they decided to take Far Cry back in time, way back in time all the way to the Stone Age. Would we get just another modern-day island with another conquering ruler to be toppled or would they use the retro-futuristic setting of Blood Dragon as inspiration? Neither left fans with much hope but Ubisoft had a surprise in store. It felt like they had very little new to offer & it was a struggle to see just how the next game in the series could innovate in any way. It’s still a great game but was far too similar to the previous one to be held in the same high regard. For many it was & remains the best Far Cry game in the series.įar Cry 4 followed a very similar format but failed to re-capture the magic. Ubisoft brought a failing franchise to life with a gripping story, fantastic characters & a gorgeous, enemy filled open world.
When people talk about sequels that improved on every aspect of the previous game they’re almost always talking about Far Cry 3.
