In Far Cry Primal, wild animals are both your enemies and your BFFs

The newest Far Cry game is basically Ubisoft’s homage to the ’80s fantasy flick The Beastmaster.

The developer took the open-world mayhem of its Far Cry series thousands of years into the past with Far Cry Primal (coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 23). Set in the Stone Age, Far Cry Primal replaces the usual gun-toting humans with tribesmen and animals like saber-tooth tigers and giant woolly mammoths. You play as Takkar, a member of the Wenja tribe and the last survivor of his hunting party.
