Europa Universalis IV vs Far Cry Primal
Europa Universalis IV
Europa Universalis IV is the fourth game in the award-winning Europa Universalis franchise. Similar to its predecessors, the game has everything you'd need to build your own nation from the ground up and guide it through the ages. The freedom in which you get to customize your giverning style, your nation and even your game is simply ridiculous (in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event. This time around you'll get to grow your nation over a much wider span of history, arrange royal marriages, form coalitions, support rebels in proxy wars and more. You can even cooperate with up to 32 different players to govern a single nation. The multiplayer mode apparently now has an improved chat and a new matchmaking system.Unfortunately, the major downside about this game is that the developers, Paradox Interactive, have apparently "sold-out" by adding in features that should have been in the original game into DLCs that players actually have to pay extra for, ending up spending over $200 for just a single game. Not to mention, many players have complained that the DLCs they release are priced at the same price point despite having progressively lower amount of content.
That said, the game is still an epic masterpiece and a worthy sequel to the Europa Universalis series, but the game's hardcore player base is admittedly not happy, and honestly, we wouldn't recommend getting this game unless you can get all of the DLCs dirt cheap... maybe like in a bundle.
Far Cry Primal
Far Cry Primal drastically deviates from the usual adventure-shooter game that defined the Far Cry franchise and instead opted to set this game in the Stone Age where humans fight using primitive weapons like spears, and bows and arrows. Being the first of its kind, the game lets you experience the thrill of playing as your ancestors in the resource-rich land of Oros where massive mammoths and sabertooth tigers roam freely. In this game, you'll need to prove your worth and become the apex predator by hunting down dangerous creatures and defeating enemy tribes.Aside from improved and nicely refined mechanics and a refreshingly new theme, Far Cry Primal also has incredible immersion that's not only restricted to its amazing graphics but also the ancient Proto-Indo-European language (with English subtitles) used in the game. There are tons of stuff for you to craft as well. However, the game is a lot shorter than Far Cry 4 and well, although it's realistic, travelling from one location to another feels rather slow (no vehicles). All in all, we'd say that Far Cry Primal is perfect for players who enjoy a chance of scenery.
