melee combat. The melee combat
works quite well, and helps
bring a refreshing sense of danger
to the FPS scene. Normally,
players have assault rifles, grenades,
and other overpowered
weapons at their disposal. In Far
Cry Primal, players have to craft
their own spears, clubs, bows,
arrows and more. Combine that
with the various predators roaming
the valley, and players will
never feel truly safe, which is
great.
Far Cry Primal features crafting
and survival elements, such as
gathering materials and creating
weapons from them. While
open-world survival games such
as 7 Days to Die and Ark: Survival
Evolved feature crafting
recipes that begin as rather simple
and become more advanced
for more rewarding items, Far
Cry Primal keeps everything
simple throughout the duration
of the game. Recovering health
is equally simple, as players
only have to munch on some
raw meat to regain their health.
While the crafting and first aid
might seem overly simplistic for
a caveman experience, it’s important
to remember that Far
Cry Primal is an action game primarily,
and not a survival game.
Still, you never really struggle
for any crafting ingredients, or
the means to recreate weapons
when the situation demands it.
There are moments in Far Cry
Primal where the game truly
shines. For one thing, players
are able to take a number of
different approaches to freely
roaming the environment, as well
as the game’s missions. They
can choose a stealth-based approach,
lurking out of sight until
the opportune moment, they can
7.4/10
launch an all-out attack if that’s
more their style, or they can use
a more strategic approach, such
as setting fires that draw the
enemy out. They can even lure
predators to rival cavemen and
simply let nature take its course.
Far Cry Primal is an interesting
experiment from Ubisoft Montreal.
On one hand, it’s a highly
playable and enjoyable first-person
action game. On the other,
it still feels strikingly familiar to
Far Cry 3 and 4. Despite this,
the game is a lot of fun, due to
how immersive Far Cry Primal’s
world is. If you’re hankering for
a decent action game that’s a little
bit different, don’t hesitate to
check Primal out.
