Matt Buchholtz of Electronic Gaming Monthly wrote, "The graphics are stunning—Ubisoft has truly mastered facial animations and lighting furnishings." He added, "The game feels like a full-priced reskin of Far Cry 4, without the engaging storyline", finishing with, "Far Weep Central really wants yous to know that there are tons of things you can do in its prehistoric, open up globe. Unfortunately, you may not want to practice whatever of them."^[36]

Jeff Cork from Game Informer praised the setting for allowing for gameplay and story elements with more realism, specifically in regard to the protagonist not being a stereotype immature male who inexplicably has advanced combat noesis. He called the visuals and world design "cute", and said that the decision to employ a primitive language made specifically for the game was "effective".

Luke Reilly of IGN summarized his review with: "Far Cry Cardinal comes to the tabular array with a quiver of neat ideas simply it forgot to bring much of a story with information technology."

However, Reilly felt the drastic alter for the series wasn't without its flaws, saying that the characters, quests, and overall story were a stride back from the memorable moments of the previous games.^[41]

Polygon's Justin McElroy particularly praised the open world surround, calling it the "well-nigh immersive" in the serial. He summarized his review past writing: "I don't want every Far Cry game from here on to trade bullets for arrows, motorcycles for tigers, simply Primal is an invigorating example of how to re-imagine a tired franchise while keeping its soul intact."^[42]
