7. Far Cry: Primal (2016)
I’ll admit, I rolled my eyes when I heard Ubisoft was making a prehistoric Far Cry starring cavemen. But it was a lot better than I expected. I still vividly remember running through its stone-age jungles at night, a torch in hand, terrified of all the huge animals lurking in the shadows. Primal also introduced the animal companions that have become a big part of the series. Its major downside is that all the cavemen grunting and “talking” in their made-up language makes it hard to care much about the paper-thin narrative.
