Far Cry Primal Review: 10 Critical Reactions You Need To See

7. Frame-Rate Holds Together

"The framerate is solid, with very little slowdown even during the more hectic moments." - Talal Musa, Standard"The Dunia 2 engine is comfortably optimised on PS4 to let you charge around without any distractions like pop-in, streaming all textures, shadows and plants with no visible hitches" - Eurogamer, Thomas Morgan How rare is this? A triple-A game, running smoothly?! Never let it be said Ubisoft don't learn from their mistakes, and granted Far Cry's engine has been solid for years now - but it's always worth pointing out that performance-wise, FCP holds together even in its most hectic moments. Texture-pop is also something that can ruin an exploration-heavy game (just look at Firewatch), and with a huge focus of Primal being to wander place to place on-foot, Ubisoft needed to ensure that was going to be as pleasurable as possible. Luckily, draw-distance is impressive, character models are detailed and the world itself streams in at a very high level of proficiency.
