WELCOME

It's time to go Prehistoric – or is that Mesolithic? Far Cry Primal takes us on a brutal – and most likely truthful, though we'll never really know – journey into the Mesolithic past, having us fight with spears and clubs and completely reinventing everything we thought we knew about the Far Cry franchise. Of course cavemen didn't wield AK-47s, so Far cry primal

TWEET of the MONTH

as Takkar you are forced to get more creative with how you bring justice to the frontier. Embrace all the childhood dreams you gathered watching Ice Age as you take to the backs of woolly mammoths and sabretooth tigers to completely decimate enemy tribes and reclaim the land as your own. Tame other animals you encounter whilst on your journey and use them to assist you in your fight, too. If it sounds amazing, that's probably because it is. You can even send in your personal owl to drop bombs (beehives) on unsuspecting enemies. Make yourself at home in the open-world wilderness as you explore the dangers and mysteries of the land of Oros, truly immersing yourself in the primal world of our distant ancestors, and enjoying the scenery as you slaughter your foes in the name of evolution. Inherently a Far Cry game, even if without guns or explosives, Far Cry Primal gives you the outlet to unleash your inner beast without having to check in to a CaveBnB. After all, it's not war – it's survival.
