Far Cry Primal: reviews, ratings, descriptions and recommendations

Ubisoft Montreal is famous for the fact that it always presents a quality project to the buyer. Someone likes it, some do not, but it's a matter of taste. In the winter of 2016 a new series of the game Far Cry Primal was released. Reviews about it turned out not very flattering. What is the reason for this? We will go further.

There's something about it

It is worth saying that the new part of the game was not called the "fifth". This is due to the fact that the plot is not a continuation of what was before. The story tells about the times that took place more than 12 thousand years ago. Therefore, the game received a different name - Far Cry Primal. Customer feedback immediately flew in the direction of developers. All vied with each other, shouting that this is the usual addition to the fourth part.

But you need to be objective. Outwardly the project really turned out to be separate, unlike the previous series. Do not forget that he and the plot is not connected with them. Nevertheless, there is a story. It simply begins long before the events that occurred in the third and fourth parts.

What is the difference?

The map for the new game turned out to be huge. Visually it increases and the fact that now the hero does not have helicopters or jeeps. Yes, he can tame a saber-toothed tiger and ride it to the destination. But remember, because in the previous part you could easily beat a couple of kilometers without any obstacles.

The first hour Far Cry Primal will already show you the difference with the fourth series. In just a few hundred steps you will meet an enemy tribe and its archers. But the main danger lies in the wild world. On the way of the hero there will be terrible animals: something resembling a rhinoceros will immediately react to you hostile, so it will try to kick you out. There are evil badgers, giant cats with huge jaws, and eagles that are hovering over the hero, like a victim. In general, the adventure suffices.

Primitive story

That's what Ubisoft could not handle, so it's with the plot of Far Cry Primal. Reviews of players dissatisfied. Although it is hardly possible to expect an action from the primitive world. Nevertheless, the plot tells of the time after the ice age. Urus is a beautiful valley that is full of stocks: berries, nuts, animals. Here also the tribes who for a long time were in the mountains came running.

The hero is to become the first person who was able to cope with animals. You will become the leader of the village, which will have to be protected in front of enemies and hungry creatures. Although in fact, no one needs a plot in Far Cry Primal. Reviews about him though and negative, nevertheless he is not important here. The game has a lot of flaws, which can be scolded for hours.

Shortcomings

What immediately catches your eye is a terrible translation. Tribes in the game speak a fictitious incomprehensible language, but their entire speech is accompanied by subtitles. But which ones? English is not so bad, there are practically no distortions, but in Russian there is horror. All the conversations boil down to "your mine is yours to kill" because of what immediately gets lost atmospheric game. You start to wonder: whether to cry because of such horror, or whether to laugh.

But if the language is not so bad, then there are questions about the additional functions. There are some details that specifically in this part of the game seem pretty strange. For example, a mini-map. It is designed as a navigator, which in itself is absurd considering the primitive world. There is a hero and the ability to track down the enemy when he is behind the shelter. It's something like wallhack in the cop. There is still an incomprehensible hook that allows us to navigate as a superhero around the world of Far Cry Primal.

Feedback about these inaccuracies is not always negative. The fact is that after playing a couple of hours, you take all the abilities of the hero himself, which, incidentally, is very useful. If we exclude them, then the game would be too complicated and tedious. So Primal still took some of its details from its predecessors.

A little mysticism

Since this is a series of the famous game Far Cry, the mystical here is something left. Meet you on the road and a mad shaman who treat drugs, there is a villain Ull who lives by his own rules. In general, the characters, perhaps - the only thing that really helps to get deeper into the game world. They turned out very believable. Heroes correspond to their time, and developers have worked on their design.

Characters have preserved the traces of wild life. Someone has no eyes, and someone has lost his hand. Some burned the face or remained without an ear. It can be seen that the heroes have lived in this wild world for decades. With all this, the characters are not considered kings of the planet on which they live. Moreover, they are not even at the top of the food chain.

Entourage

Now it is difficult to find projects that could send a gamer so far into the past. Do not count those games that force you to fight with dinosaurs and Neanderthals. Many already tired of the order of the Second World War, 30-50-ies of the last century. The shooters and militants began to tire.

And then there is a game on the horizon that sends the hero to battle with the wild nature. Of course, it is now clear why the reviews on Far Cry Primal are so ambiguous. Someone has already lost the habit of intellectual games, which not only force us to "urinate", but also make us think about our past.

In general, "Yubisoft" was able to cope with the entourage. There are no superintendents or energy shields for you. Only spears, only hardcore. That's why the new series stunned all the fans. But who is to blame for their poor understanding of the description of the game? After all, there is no word about what the continuation of the famous history promises us. That's all, and salt: before us is a whole new world - our past. Far Cry Primal broke all existing templates and brought to the senses of fans to trumpet new fashionable gadgets.

Do not be afraid, I'm with you

Although the entourage - a good thing, yet not one appearance can conquer a picky gamer. Before us is a difficult task - to break the Neolithic world. It would seem that there is complicated? But the developers could spoil the whole picture - they add internal anxiety, panic and fear, inexplicably, by what methods. But this is only if you do not choose "easy" passage.

The world is changing. Before the hero everything is too big and fanged. We need to tame the saber-toothed tiger, but we are even afraid to approach it. The difficulty lies in the fact that each character and strives not only to maim us, but also to regale with us.

Such cases are not a problem when the hero has a Kalashnikov rifle or a pair of ultrasound in his bosom. But at the disposal of the player only spears and axes. And you also need to try to copy something powerful, or even have to fight with a stick. In this way it's easy to let down shooter lovers from the sky. The sense of danger somehow appears by itself, along with a sense of self-preservation.

Naturalness

Usually disgruntled reviews about Far Cry Primal (a game for PC) are left only by those who could not penetrate it. Although it is difficult to understand this. Imagine, you decided to eat a goat for dinner. Found and killed. While zazevalis, ran a wild dog and tries to take away food from you. You and her nail. Vultures flew to such a pile of corpses, now they need to be dealt with.

While fighting with birds, wolves approach from the side. From the last forces are fighting with them. And this for one unfortunate goat! But now, it would seem, there are no enemies left on the horizon, when a prehistoric crocodile creeps out. Yes, perhaps, savvy analysts would grumble about the not quite authentic habitat. But why are the bites flying only towards this series of games?

If you remember the previous ones, you sometimes so much wanted to shout at all: "I do not believe it!" First, we get a bullet from our hand with rusty pliers, then we treat sores of usual pills. Then we suddenly need some absolutely useless items on an uninhabited island. Far Cry - inaccurate project, but just the fifth part of the game turned out to be the most natural.

Reviews

Despite all the atmosphere, over which the developers worked, there is still one major drawback in Far Cry Primal. Comments on this have appeared on the forums more than once. The first hours of the Neolithic world and the truth are frightening. The hero fights, kills, saves and again fights. The player is both scary and fascinating. There are new emotions and unforgettable sensations.

But all this happens after a few hours. Someone suffices and 3, someone can endure and 10. Nevertheless the received power ceases to please, uniformity tires. Particularly disappointing are the additional tasks of Far Cry Primal. Reviews for the PS4 are somewhat different. Apparently, the console gamers the world is transmitted somewhat brighter. Someone is happy about the unusual approach from Ubisoft, someone likes the gameplay itself. Someone calls the old engine and the monotony with previous versions. But, as they say, how many people, so many opinions.

Experiment

Here's the result Far Cry Primal. Reviews, ratings, ratings, reviews - all this will help you understand its essence. Some gamers put the game 1 point, someone more generous and can give the project 8-9. The famous Metacritic site collected data and awarded a new part 74 out of 100. At the same time, 16 reviews were taken into account. Russian journalists analyzed 23 reviews and delivered their verdict - 75 out of 100.

Everyone who could plunge into this world, managed and feel it. Those who expected this part of the continuation were deeply mistaken. Obviously, in this case the game would get the figure "five" and the development of the main plot.

When the company planned to transfer the franchise to the primitive world, everyone took it with skepticism. Nevertheless, something bold and unusual still happened. Yes, not all the players could appreciate it: someone regretted the money spent, and some - the time spent. But Primal has a right to exist.

You can criticize any project. But it's very silly to do this with respect to video games. You can scream about and without: no plot, washed away, and the mammoths did not exist then. But with respect to other parts of Far Cry Primal - the most realistic and truthful. Though also cardinally another.
