The crafting system is the same.
Hunt this sh*t to craft this sh*t to equip more sh*t.
Gathering crafting materials is literally the same since Far Cry 3.
The stealth system is the same.
The outpost system from Far Cry 3 basically just got changed into a fitting pre-historic theme.
The bow dynamic is literally copy-pasted with a different skin.
Traveling is exactly the same with the exception of beast riding. (Think replacing cars with beasts.)
Skill tree system is literally the same, one tree for stealth and striking and the other for endurance and toughness. (AKA stealth VS guns blazing)

Its literally the same sh*t just with a different theme to it.

Aside from being close to copy-pasted garbage the melee system is pretty bad with close to early-access animations. The spear animation is just awful and the rest of the melee weapons aren't better.

Totalbiscuit himself said himself he was just asking himself why he wasn't playing far cry 4 half an hour in the game.

I don't wanna ruin the game for you if you're having fun with it but its basically typical Ubisoft stuff, progressively making games worse but this time they made it less noticeable.

FC Primal is a terrible game gameplay-wise and horribly unoptimized on top. Carry on...

I've always been under the impression that when it comes to a sequel, more of the same in a new setting and with better graphics is what most people want.

Originality is what new IP's are for, not for a sequel and this pretty much applies to movies and games.

As for Stardew Valley, can't say gameplay wise it interests me in the slightest. Reminds me of Farmville.

Sure I'd say the same. But Primal hasn't changed or made the core aspects any better. A good example of improving upon already made aspects is the transition from Fallout 3 to Fallout New Vegas.

Weapon selection is even less and dumbed down, crafting is literally the same or less as per progression and technically the same graphics as FC4 just in a different colour. It didn't really improve. (Besides spamming so much foliage&shadows that even youtube's 1080p bitrate makes it look like 240p lololololol.)

The only thing different is story and the pets. I was gonna include map but even that seems to be nearly the same.

I wasn't arguing whether Primal is a good or bad game, just that the principal of more of the same in a different setting with better graphics is what most people want.
