Well over a decade on, F ar Cry 2 attracts a cult following unlike any other entry in the series. Far Cry 2Īh yes, the one with all the fire. While Primal’s bows and clubs are perfectly satisfying, no other game in the series nails animal assaults quite like this bold prequel. Primal may not give you shotguns or AK47s, but who needs automatic weapons when you can command a chorus line of ancient feral beasts to murder your enemies at the drop of a prehistoric hat? Tame wolves, bears, leopards, and even sabre tooth tigers, then set them on your cavemen foes with all the precision of furry, heat-seeking missiles.
Shunting players into the fury toga of a surprisingly talkative neanderthal, Far Cry Primal channels the prehistoric spirit that the first Far Cry initially aimed to tap into - turns out, the 2004 Crytek shooter was originally going to involve dinosaurs, not slightly disappointing mutant murder.
This caveman detour remains the most experimental of all of the series’ mainline entries. Perhaps the ultimate expression of Far Cry’s obsession with animal sidekicks.
