Far Cry: Primal rocks the Stone Age but feels stale

Forget about your fancy guns. Sometimes a man just needs a club and a saber-toothed cat to conquer his enemies.

Far Cry: Primal, which comes out on February 23 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and March 1 for PC (I played the Xbox One version), takes Ubisoft’s open-world series into the Stone Age, a setting we don’t often see in gaming. It’s definitely a cool word to explore, showing us just how brutal early humans had it. But is it a good fit for Far Cry’s particular take on first-person action?
