I tend to dream about the games or shows currently in my life, and while playing Far Cry Primal, I had a dream that there was a twist ending. The finale would have the player catch sight of a far-off hyper-advanced city, a gigantic black pyramid covered in little golden lit windows. Above it a sort of gold gear-shaped holographic halo floated.
I think it was supposed to belong to a dead civilization. The player also had no option to actually visit the city, just to see it in the distance. It was an intense thing to witness.

I later had another Primal-like dream. It was a new Far Cry spinoff which seemingly once again explored the pre-historic era, only now the characters had more modern facial structure, and spoke english. This disappointed me, but I was happy to revisit the idea at least. And this also had the distinction of mostly being set in plains and villages, rather than forests and mountains. The lead villainous tribe was hella brutal, leaving the survivors of tribes they conquered missing hands or feet.
Again, this game had a twist. It wasn't the past. It was the far-distant future, set long after societal collapse. And after staging a rescue in the ruins of an old concrete city, and facing off against enemies armed with laser guns, I again witnessed an advanced civilization in the distance, surrounded by walls, with lines of hoverships travelling in and out.

It's like Skyrim with guns without guns

I played it for about half an hour but I was just fetching stuff so I quit.

Meh.

Far Cry Primal has some good things going for it: the setting/time period, the characters, a more logical implementation of the hunting/crafting mechanics, etc. But ultimately the game does not do enough good to outweigh my feeling that this game just oversaturates the Far Cry series especially coming out so close to 4. Far Cry 2,3,4 were all fantastic open world FPS's, don't pull an Assassin's Creed and start churning these out every year. So unfortunately Far Cry Primal is a solid game.... that I wish didn't exist.

So it's like Skyrim but with decent gameplay?

Looks kind of boring and horrifying (you have to kill a baby mammoth) at the same time. I still can't figure out who they are targeting with this game: it's too slow for the action fans, but too repetitive and 'Ubisoft' for anyone else. I'll bet 20 of Gries' dollars that it turns out to be a flop.

Y'all ever wanted your own Sabretooth to order about? Then this is the game for you. Weaponised bears as standard!
