This does sound like a beautiful game-world and an enjoyable adventure. Despite the modern setting, some of its aspects remind me of Skyrim - an attractive world with many unique places to discover, using a bow (it's a shame that bows are overpowered), acquiring weapons in safe places for the next mission, hunting and crafting using animal hides and even using plants to make drug cocktails/potions. Of course, many other games use similar mechanics, so I shouldn't over-emphasise these similarities. Even so, it makes me wonder if there is a convergence going on between RPGs such as The Elder Scrolls games and first-person shooters such as the Far Cry series (unless Far Cry games have always had these features.)
I have yet to play SKyrim. But with how many times it is being released, i'm bound to run into it accidentally eventually
I'm curious how they will continue the "mystical" side of these games in the next one, which is kind of part of the RPG aspect. Far Cry Primal made sense given its ancient setting but the next one is in America. I suppose maybe using Native American folklore if they go down that path.
I am a big fan of the Far Cry series, but then I am a sucker for open world games anyhow - right now I am (unsurprisingly) hopelessly enthralled by Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon - Wildlands.
Primal was fun as well, but the mystic stuff was 'trying' at times, same as in #4 - otherwise hours of entertainment if you go for all the side quests. For some reason or the other it took me quite a while to realize that you could use the gyro copter to land on the towers...
Like Gig, I'm too a big fan of Far Cry, since the very first one, sadly I don't have that much time anymore to play that huge games; however, great review and the game looks to be amazing, a must try for those who have time
I too am a sucker for open world games. Ubisoft is pretty good at creating engaging ones so you can imagine that they are one of my favorite companies, regardless of how other people view them.
