* BonusBoss: The Primal T-Rex or T-Rex Queen is even bigger and tougher than a regular T-Rex, and only appears if you summon it using a T-Rex scent gland. It's a walking tank and can survive over a couple dozen shots to the heart from big game or anti-tank rifles.

Despite the fanciful premise, the game does make various attempts at realism, such as using the complex ballistics and organ function system from the regular ''The Hunter'' game, as well as having the dinosaurs have feathers.
* BonusBoss: The Primal T-Rex or T-Rex Queen is even bigger and tougher than a regular T-Rex, and only appears if you summon it using a T-Rex scent gland. It's a walking tank and can survive over a couple dozen shots to the heart from big game or anti-tank rifles.
* ContinuingIsPainful: When you die, the progress you made uncovering the map is completely wiped, and all your items are lost and have to be recovered from your corpse. Thankfully, your corpse doesn't disappear if you die trying to retrieve it, but it will despawn if you quit the game before getting your stuff back. Also, whatever killed you is likely to still be hanging around in the vicinity of your corpse, and if you're on a multiplayer server other players can loot your corpse as well.
* DeathFromAbove: Flying Quetzalcoatlus dinosaurs will dive-bomb you repeatedly if they spot you.

* NoFairCheating: The game can't be paused and has a 10 second delay before it allows you to leave (during which you can't move), and actively resists any attempt to shut it down when it's running. This is to prevent you from alt-F4ing out of the game when a T-Rex is about to eat you.
* RaptorAttack: Velociraptors appear in the game, but as the turkey-sized small predators they were in real life. Horse-sized Utahraptors also appear and fulfill the role of your primary predator threat in the game.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: Averted, the .44 magnum revolver is the weakest firearm in the game, though to be fair that's in comparison to shotguns and hunting rifles. It ''can'' kill a Utahraptor if you manage to hit the heart or lungs, but is basically a pop-gun against anything larger (it can't even bring down a Quetzalcoatlus reliably), and even against a Utahraptor it won't save you if you're unable to land a direct hit on a vital organ.

!!The Hunter Primal contains examples of:
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The game uses the same realistic organ simulation system as ''The Hunter Classic''. A shot to the heart with a decent-caliber weapon is an instant kill against anything smaller than a T-Rex.
* {{BFG}}: A .700 nitro express elephant gun and .50 [=BMG=] antimateriel rifle are the two most powerful guns in the game. You pretty much need one of them if you plan to take on a T-Rex.
* BoxedCrook: Pioneers are (supposedly) criminals who have been forcibly recruited and dropped onto Primal Eden to clear it of hostile lifeforms, with the (seemingly rather empty) promise that their record will be expunged if they succeed. Reading between the lines, they may very well be ordinary citizens falsely accused of crimes specifically to recruit them for the job.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: A dinosaur can have lost 90% of its blood and have 2 collapsed lungs, but as long as it's not bleeding out, it can run away from you at top speed indefinitely.

* MissionPackSequel: The game uses the basic engine of ''VideoGame/TheHunterClassic'', but instead of a serious hunting simulator it's a game about hunting dinosaurs on an alien planet. It still uses many of the realism-focused game mechanics of ''The Hunter Classic'', though.
