FAR CRY PRIMAL REVIEW
The Far Cry series has always been a favourite of mine, with Blood Dragon topping the chart in my opinion. Now Ubisoft have stripped back humanity in this latest instalment and thrown us back into the age of cave dwellers, rocks and long forgotten beasts.

Surprisingly, even to a games journalist who has covered the company, the developers felt they had more to say and announced and released th...[Read More]

Overall my impressions were very positive; the gameplay fundamentals were solid, and I enjoyed replaying levels to try to beat my fastest time. Now that I’ve come back to it I still think it’s fun, but its appeal doesn’t last forever. For those of you who don’t know what Action Henk is,...[Read More]
