It's not really an immersive sim, as noted here, but on the highest difficulty with no map it's a highly immersive game. In truth, it's my favourite far cry next to 2. Boring crafting, boring open world filled with map markers lacking context. So, standard Ubisoft then haha.
Primal is definitely one of the more experimental titles next to New Dawn, and yes the mechanics are the most unlike any other game in the franchise. I wish they would have done some more work on Primal and branded as to not associate with Far Cry, but they literally copied and pasted the map from Far Cry 4 so they would definitely get called
Far Cry Primal is probably more of the "survival" one. It has options for a hunger meter and stuff. Here's the thing, I love Primal, but I fully understand that it is not for everyone. Understand that there is a fair amount of gathering, traveling, and hunting that is a part of the gameplay loop. Pros: it's gorgeously stylized and immersive.
