You know you are a badass when you have a sabretooth tiger watching your back! Taming creatures is one of the best aspects of this game and it is above all else a lot of fun to do.
This stone age setting though does allow Ubisoft to have some fun! What I had a great time with was taming mighty beasts like sabretooth tigers, wooly mammoths and this awesome rhino looking, creature. You still need to take over areas, get new people to join you and so on so there is a lot of familiarities here. Primal is going to feel very familiar to you. I would say that if you played any of 3, 4 or even 5.
One of the things that is interesting about Far Cry: Primal is that while this looks radically different from other Far Cry games. The story is kind of cool, but the caveman setting of things does mean that the main villains are not as good as what we got in Far Cry 4 and especially Far Cry 3. The game sees you in conflict with two other main tribes.
