So I started playing this game in 2020 and it’s my first Far cry game and probably going to be my only. Because of the age it was set in my interest was at its peak and I couldn’t pass up a sale XD so I got the Apex edition and made sure to download the free HD Texture pack in the DLC and I was set.

This game took me by surprise in how immersive it was, how REAL it felt to be in that time and age, or at least as far as gaming could get you. You are literally making weapons from sticks, creating fires, bows and arrows etc and running through the wild at your own pending doom because you don’t know when some crazy animal is gonna jump out and want a piece of you! And that is the reality you soon realise. You are on this earth with no house to run in, no one to call, no police lol just you and your spine to hold up against nature and nature is ALIVE and KICKING your AzZ from the top of the mountain when your getting ran down by a mammoth and then Ooo Weee a Saber tooth tiger sees you got a bit of meat on you, so you decide to throw yourself off a cliff into a clear and you think your safe? Oh ♥♥♥♥♥ a gangster badger appears from somewhere and mops the floor with you. I’ll jump in the river you think……. I’ll let you find out what’s in there. The graphics imo are amazing and the survival element is something that will keep you on your toes all the way through beautiful landscapes, caves and perches on mountains with views that will make you pause the came to capture and wonder where in the world can I go to see something like this. The story I thought was quite short but still pleasantly nice to follow or maybe I was having so much fun doing other things I didn’t want it to end. I play wow but this game really has earned my respect and time I mean your more than just the ordinary cave man, you’re a beast master pretty much laying down the law and not gonna lie I felt like I was in the first ice age movie which was both capturing and awesome. This game gets a lot of stick for bugs and things but to be honest I hardly noticed them, I was just to busy watching my back against the whole game which will come at you in a hilarious but deadly attempt. I got so into this game I was playing music in the background ( Mick Gordon – Hinnamatoom ) that helped me feel a deeper immersion in this game like I was in a movie or something but the soundtrack does a good job still.

If you can get pass the silly things like pulling a arrow out of your arm casually as you do or accidentally lighting yourself on fire and my favourite riding a saber tooth tiger across the planes, then I say for anyone who is looking for something that takes you back in time to a world were men and women roamed the earth, on their two feet amongst the harshness of life, weather , wild life and when a person found out to survive means they mite have to take up a club and beat the other guys AzZ with it lol, rushing to caves for shelter and work with nature not against it to survive then you found it in this game everything else is waiting for you in the immersion and experience that if you give yourself to it mite lend perspective to something more than just a game.
