![]() ![]() I wasn't taking into account the most important, obvious, thing about Far Cry Primal: it's a Far Cry game. with a terrible storyline which made it difficult to care about anything I was doing. Instead, what it was giving me was something that felt not only familiar, but almost cartoon-y. I wanted a game brimming with prehistoric atmosphere, a game of survival. I'd gone into it wanting something different to what it was giving me. If you've read my review-in-progress, you'll know that my initial experience with Far Cry Primal was disappointing. You'll be attacking enemy villages, and saving hostages from flesh-eaters. Structurally it's exactly the same game - you even get a grappling hook at one point, and embark on trippy hallucinogenic missions. In a nod to Far Cry 4, you'll ultimately be riding mammoths and tigers into enemy camps.īeyond all that, and the execrable cut-scenes - everything is rendered in absurd caveman-speak with subtitles - there's not actually much here which sets it apart from the last couple of Far Cry games. As you unlock more skills and abilities - chiefly through spending skill points, recruiting new members into your village and upgrading their huts - you'll grant access to bigger animals. ![]() These include an owl - which can be used to scout areas, tag enemies, and attack them with its claws and bomb-type things. Hammering a tortoise to death is one of the most horrible things I've ever done in a game.įortunately, Primal's biggest addition to the Far Cry franchise goes some way to counter this: it's possible to tame animals, Crocodile Dundee-style. There's always been a bit of this in Far Cry, but here it goes further than ever. there's really no way to get through the game without jabbing a spear into a badger's back, or setting fire to a bison. Without access to gun shops or garages, animals become just another resource: their skin, their fat, their meat. When you're not killing other cavemen, there's a lot of killing animals in Far Cry Primal - a new version of Far Cry that drags you back to prehistoric times, stripping you of the guns and vehicles that fans of the series will have become accustomed to. Therefore, you might want to know how I coped with the wanton animal slaughter in Far Cry Primal. I'm not a vegetarian, but my other half and one of my daughters are both one of these vegans they have nowadays, and I do sometimes eat Quorn, when I'm forced to, and I'd never go up to a horse and just hit it in the face with a shoe anymore. I felt so bad, that I have barely killed any animals since. It was the largest thing I'd ever killed, and I felt terrible about it (though not as terrible as a friend of mine after he drowned a squirrel in a bucket, because it had been chewing through his electrics).Īnyhow, the short of it is. when I retrieved it the next morning, I swear the thing was the size of a toddler. Putting down a trap was the only option. You could hear it at night, doing the rat things. ![]() The rat was getting from there into the kitchen, before retreating into the walls. a sort of fit of spite. It had gotten into the cavity wall in the extension, because an idiot builder repositioned an outside tap without me asking, and then forgot to bung up the hole. I've probably mentioned before how I killed a big rat a couple of years ago. ![]()
