It’s got more of a simulation element than the others (though it’s still very game-oriented, to be clear—I’ve played modded Skyrim that was more simulationist than FC:Primal, without even cranking those mods as far toward realism as they go) which is probably a downer if you’re in for a fun casual romp like most of the other far cry games (especially 3 on).
What I found interesting was that it, at times, made me feel a tiny fraction of the kind of awe and fear—and power—that I expect Stone Age people really did feel, for similar reasons.
It’s also one of the few games that’s ever taught me a practical non-computer skill. I string my recurve bow the way the first-time longer crafting animation for a bow shows you doing it :-)
