Far Cry: Primal

For those who are tired of battles, where superweapons and even simpler types of firearms are in favor, the developers from Ubisoft have created adventures in the Stone Age. The game Far Cry: Primal was rated moderately by critics, but there is a zest in its plot and characters that does not leave anyone indifferent. This novelty is also called a tracing paper of the 4th part, but the authors insist on highlighting a separate storyline.

Far Cry: Primal Plot Features

So, before the gamers, a primitive world called Urus unfolds, with its tribes, pristine nature and wild animals. And here in this quiet place strangers suddenly appear, with whom the locals are in a hurry to deal with in their own way. Of the weapons everyone has - only what they managed to make from improvised means, as was usual in the Stone Age. The main character is the hunter Takkar, who takes on the burden of fighting for his tribe. Basically, the gameplay here is in the spirit of other games in the series - hunting, gathering, conquering new territories, night fires, tame and wild animals, furious Cro-Magnons.

Initially, Takkar travels in search of the coveted land for the Vinja tribe together with his relatives, but during the hunt he fights off his own people and moves further alone. As conceived by the authors, Urus is divided between 2 militant tribes, and the world must be conquered by capturing fire-towers. And Takkar must go from a humble hunter to a brave leader of his tribe.

Weapons and everyday life

Since the main character is an experienced hunter, he does not need to learn the things necessary for survival. What you have to do in the game all the time is to hunt, get food and kill enemies. This, according to critics, is the "hairpin". At first, all these responsibilities arouse interest among the players, but over time, this process turns into a boring routine. Although the dynamics are certainly felt. Thoughtful and interesting missions where you need to study the world around you, tame animals and communicate with other characters.

The hero's weapons include:

• club;
• spear;
• bow and arrow.

All this has to be crafted from wood, stones and skins, along the way mining resources. Of the skills offered, the set is almost the same as in previous games. Most Popular:

• better health;
• sharp eyesight;
• hand-to-hand combat skills.

What are interesting about the characters in Far Cry: Primal

The characters in the game look very believable for the Stone Age. Some do not have an eye, others have a hand, ear or eye. With some of them, Takkar communicates more, for example, with a mad shaman who is generous with potions. Or with the villain Ull, for whom no rules are written except for his own.

In general, the development of the community is tied to the collection of resources, with bonuses in the form of the right people. Let's say the hero is looking for a magician, completing his task, he joins the tribe. You can also invite friendly vinjas who have fought off their own, if you help them, they will be happy to join. The scheme is simple - the more people, the more resources that Takkar receives every day.

Animals are also worth mentioning. When a shaman trained a hunter-hero to tame wild beasts, he acquired a clever owl. The bird signals danger with a hoot, destroys enemies, even drops home bombs. But these talents are manifested in the owl closer to the end, when the hero has too many enemies.

Highlights

Gamers note that the game Far Cry: Primal makes it possible to feel like a caveman and catch all the feelings of the ancestors who went to the mammoth. But, in order to determine the actions at the beginning of the game, it is worth knowing about the capabilities of the characters. With the help of potions, Takkar can visit the spirit world to gain new abilities.

Also:

• It is very cold in the north, so you need to constantly take care of the fire or warm skins. Better yet, about both at once.
• Don't forget to feed the tamed animals, otherwise they won't last long in battle.
• The game allows you to recruit followers, ride mammoths and even use climbing hooks.

Draws attention and the fictional language spoken by the characters. Although subtitled, the translation leaves much to be desired and hinders rather than helps. Another original feature is the built-in mini-card. Although in those days there was no such navigator, the developers made a discount on super-capabilities. They also endowed Takkar with a talent for tracking down enemies even behind cover.

Specifications

Primal's system requirements remain the same as in previous developments, since the engine has not changed. In the graphics, for the better, only drawing is noted, but nature impresses with the richness of colors and colors. Even cave paintings are common. Therefore, it is quite possible to fully plunge into the ancient centuries.

In short, you can enjoy Far Cry: Primal. Especially if you want to temporarily hide from the hustle and bustle of our civilized world. When it comes to mysticism and adventure, even simple travels and battles with clubs can be invigorating and interesting.
