As the game began to start up, I excited grabbed my PlayStation 4’s dual shock controller, plugged in my PlayStation Gold headphones, and even turned off my gaming room lights. One that is large, sprawling with life, and even viewed through first person so that I would become largely immersed within the world before me.

Sure I expected an approach that would require me to hunt certain creatures, gather certain resources, and even upgrade my weapons, but what I wasn’t expecting was the lush, beautiful, and massive open world. Sitting down while it installed, my mind began to wonder what would allow the series to change, and this included what the graphics engine would be like, what weapons would be available, but also what story arch could they approach with letting go of the known formula once used. With review copies not available, I still felt obligated to bring out the review the game, but also to enjoy it while I could still be hammering out some time on other titles. Deciding to take a break since I’ve been rather excited for Far Cry Primal, I headed down to our local Best Buy, toss down the money for the game, and headed home. While not playing those? I’ve spent a lot of free time on SMITE thanks to our newest writer, Christopher Adee who handed me an Alpha key for PlayStation 4. I’ve worked on our hands-on for Tom Clancy’s The Division Beta, Warframe, and even started working on The Witch and the Hundred Night: Revival Edition for our friends over at NIS America. I’ll be the first to admit my past few weeks have been busy. Woolly Mammoths attack without a warning and will easily kill players Saber tooth tiger feels at times, too powerful, or even not powerful enough Enemy camps can easily become overwhelming

+Lack of multiplayer truly makes the game feel alive and believable +New weapons compliment the year 10,000 B.C. +An original story that deters from modern emphasis on human survival

+Astonishing graphics, animations, and detail
