It’s fitting, it makes sense, and while some might find it boring, I was completely sold on the idea. Survival is the key aspect of it and overcoming the obstacles in the way is ultimate goal is. What we have is a game that goes back to the basics of storytelling, which is extremely fitting for the time period. If players come into Far Cry Primal expecting a plot that is both over the top or overly complicated in a time period set in the past, think again. Man fought for food, for survival, and strength in numbers. The story in and of itself is simplistic in nature. Taking on the role of a Wenja warrior named Takkar, players are forced to come to terms with not only surviving the wilds and nature itself, but two opposing tribes, that includes cannibals, as they try to wipe out the Wenja clan. Primal takes us back to the earlier days of man, 10,000 ago, warts and all. A bold, unique, and rather risky move in today’s gun filled first person genre.
The latest iteration, dubbed Primal is a huge step in a very different direction for the franchise. First came 3 with another island tropical adventure, then the crazy, 80’s style Blood Dragon, followed by mountain escapades in 4. Another year, another Far Cry? It would seem as if this franchise is starting to appear more often and frequent than ever before.
