Far Cry Primal won't give you a gyrocopter to ride around on, which might lead you to suspect the map will be less expansive than in Far Cry 4 (unless you still hope that Far Cry Primal is hiding dinosaurs somewhere in its stone-age setting, in which case you could ride a pteranodon*). Anachronistic modes of transportation aside, it turns out the map is still plenty big. See for yourself in our mock-up:

You can even watch a small chunk of it roll by in our hiking tour of Far Cry Primal, or observe our pathetic attempt to humongous wooly mammoth.

* Yes, I know pteranodons aren't technically dinosaurs.
