When I picked this up, I hadn’t really played a Far Cry game extensively since the second one (I dabbled a bit in Far Cry 3), but I was really attracted to the prehistoric setting, and so was really excited for this to come out. Since I’d been out of Far Cry games for so long, it wasn’t really obvious to me how much it aped the basic systems of those games (I’ve since been playing Far Cry 4 as well, and so yes, it does), and so for me it all felt pretty fresh, and yes, I really did enjoy being in this beautifully realized world, running around the natural environments and training/boosting my tribe, hunting, and fighting other tribes along the way. I’m really glad this game got made, it’s a great setting to be playing in.
