Like it's Japanese counterpart Ico, the British game Primal is as much or more about experiencing the game's universe and interaction between characters as it is about gameplay. In stark contrast to Ico's minimalist approach, Primal spared no expense in its presentation production values.

Incredible amounts of motion capture, BAFTA nominated soundtrack, machine band combat soundtrack, lavish object and character models, luxurious textures, top-quality voice acting, richly imagined worlds, cultures and races, realistic characters with sometimes extravagant amounts of dialog.

Colored environmental light changes the coloring of Jen and Scree as they move through it. Shadows change to reflect the nearest light source.
