It looks pretty awesome to me! I really hope the villain is better than Pagan Min, I'm not saying Min was a bad villain, but I didn't liked it very much.
I'm actually looking forward to it, despite the fact that I pretty much skipped Primal. I played an hour or two of it but couldn't take it anymore, since it just felt like a lazy attempt at a Far Cry game, for whatever reason.
I need to look up what the reaction is to the setting, though. I don't know if it's just me but there seems to be a trend in gaming lately where Christians are being portrayed as nutjobs, like in Outlast 2 for example. I'm sure the religious folk ain't happy.
