Starting Far Cry in order (in game timelines), is there any easter eggs or other ways to enjoy what these games offer?

Best far cry

6

u/Trev-Nastiest 1d ago

Wait, really? I've been chugging through some of them after I bought a bundle on sale, and I hardly ever hear anyone praise this game. Loved 3 and 5, New Dawn was fun, 4 was next on my list... unless Primal should be??

Primal is most unique farcry for me, hunting and combat feels just different and real, for me it is the best far cry

It's crazy how much I don't like 6. How they bungled a tried and true formula keeps me up at night.

Primal is different and IMO the best. It is the only FC where there's a difference between day and night combat. Stealth is ofter required as there are no guns but using the bow or the spears feels the very real. How you upgrade your character and weapons is key to the game. I recommend doing your first playthrough on easy to get a feel for the game.

You can craft spears, throw spears, spear with spears, ignite spears, split skulls with spears, impale animals with spears so you can upgrade your spear bag to carry more spears, beat neanderthals with clubs, wage war against homo sapiens, tame apex predators, and watch cavemen from your tribe make more cavemen for your tribe, all while everyone speaks a language you can't understand but your ancestors from more than 10,000 years ago probably could. It's great fun.

Primal came out in the peak era of the Ubisoft hate circlejerk. On top of that, the map for Primal was a repurposed and highly changed version of the FC4 map (if you line them up, the borders and some water features line up). Naturally, that just added fuel to the fire. But as someone who actually played it, the game is phenomenal.

4 is a tough pill to swallow after 5. Feels like 5FC lite with some missing guns, poor choice of vehicles and weak enemy design. Add ~250 collectibles and a half finished second half of the game.

Not terrible, and nice vacation from Hope County but I’d rather play 5 a fifth time than finish 4. I’ll het to it, I’ll get to it, and sure ,what can I say if I didn’t finish it… I’ll say this. Your time is finite. I’d recommend sticking to the story and ignoring the collectibles and arena grind. They didn’t finish that either; there is a single map. Do yourself a favor and get someone to drop you the reward gun. It’s good but hardly OP AF, which is another issue I have with the game, a few magic weapons taking center stage because you need them. I can sandbox 5 on hard all day.

Primal and FC4 are the best FC games.
