You know what Far Cry Primal games are like. There are animals and things... happen. We don't always feel great about it but, hey, at least we get a really cool holster out of it.

Far Cry Primal is like that but worse with it's prehistoric emphasis on animals ruling the earth. Myself and Louise made a lot of furry things dead in this video, and felt bad about all of it. The tortoise still haunts my dreams.
