Far Cry Primal<\/em> may use the same engine as Far Cry 4<\/em>, it may even use many of the same UI prompts, storytelling techniques and general mechanics, but it\u2019s a very different game in spite.<\/p>\n

Far Cry Primal<\/em> is Ubisoft\u2019s attempt at a far more brutal open world experience. Yes, you\u2019ll still have to capture outputs, craft tools and unlock skills, a staple of the Far Cry <\/em>series, but it\u2019s far more survival focussed, a lot gorier and more interesting for it.<\/p>\n

\"Far<\/a><\/p>\n

At least, that\u2019s a lot of what\u2019s been said about Far Cry Primal<\/em>: that the world around you is far less forgiving, particularly at night; that it stresses melee combat over ranged; and incentivises tactical approaches.<\/p>\n

Before it releases later next month for Xbox One and PS4<\/a>, and early March for PC, why not check out the opening 30 minutes of gameplay?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pre-release beta footage, but makes for a well-rounded intro into Far Cry Primal<\/em>, including the crafting, beast control and general world navigation.<\/p>\n
