Far Cry Primal is the next fully-fledged entry in Ubisoft's open-world action series. It won't have multiplayer, but it will let you tame wild animals. Plus its Collector's Edition adds a few bonus missions where you get to play as a wooly mammoth.

Our Ian Higton spent about an hour with Far Cry Primal and came away rather impressed, mostly due to its unique beast-taming systems in which you can gather bear, tiger, and even badger companions to help you combat enemy tribes.
