Far Cry 5 vs Far Cry Primal
Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 brings you to Hope County, Montana, where a fanatical doomsday cult known as Eden's Gate has set up shop. Under the leadership of the charismatic and most definitely insane, Joseph Seed, and his enforcer-type siblings, the Heralds, the cult aims to literally hold the people of the county hostage until their perceived doomsday arrives. In this game, you'll need to ignite the embers of resistance into a full-on wildfire in an attempt to liberate the oppressed community from the grips of Joseph and his brainwashed congregation.Featuring an extensive customization system like no other, Far Cry 5 is also home to a wide range of weapons and cool "toys", including muscle cars, ATVs, planes and a whole lot more. You can even recruit mercenaries to aid you in your fight, or you can simply recruit a friend to play the game with you in its two-player co-op.
Far Cry 5 does seem to be following in the footsteps of the older Far Cry games where guns and vehicles dominate most of its gameplay. This is quite different from the latest Far Cry game which was set in the prehistoric times where you play a caveman. The game is not yet available in stores but you can pre-order the game on PS4, XBox, and Steam (PC).
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.
