FC Primal is weird it's like if horizon Zero dawn didn't have the cool setting/story.

I kinda liked Primal's story, it hit the same vibes as Apocalypto movie, sort of, where you had very distinct tribes evolve in different geographic areas. The cannibals suffering from "brain fire" (a variant of kuru?) was interesting, as was the wetlanders' slaver system. I mean, yeah, it's Ubisoft-tier writing, meaning a mentally challenged 8th grader could have done a better job. But it wasn't horrible. It also had some survival mechanics going (like spears breaking or being lost, which forced material farming more than in other FC titles), it felt pretty unusual and not unenjoyable.

Itβs my second favorite FC game after 3.

My problem with primal was that I played it after horizon, I probably wouldnt have minded it if I played it first.

I did the opposite which made me think HzD was derivative and boring.
