And if you want to just cheese a base invasion, simply hop on the back of a woolly mammoth: In its current state, however, it's a big letdown.
It's a shame there aren't more controls available to keep your beast in stealth mode, because I could see this being really fun. Almost every base invasion devolves quickly into a brawl unless you leave your sidekick behind.
With your tamed beast at your side, stealth will only get you so far. You'd think it would be just as fun, if not more so, in a game without guns, but unfortunately that's not the case. In Far Cry 4 you can even use wild elephants or bait-drawn predators to help clear out a base without alerting the enemy to your presence. Sneaking in and disarming the alarms, taking out enemies with stealth first, and only engaging in a gunfight if you screw up, all of this is a ton of fun. Taking over bases is one of the funnest things in other Far Cry games. Of course, this leaves us with quite a lot to talk about in the "Bad" category. Still, there's a ton of detail here, and everything from your beasts to the crazy NPC's to the thick forests looks great. I'm glad it's in Primal, though it's far too easy to upgrade your way out of it entirely.įinally, the graphics are very nice, even if the land of Oros is a bit generic. I recall playing the latest Tomb Raider game and thinking something like that should be in place because my goodness Lara looked cold. I also enjoy the cold system, which requires you to craft special winter clothing or warm up at fires or risk freezing to death. It's not in quite as many ways as Geralt's Witcher senses, but it's a very similar concept. Using special hunter vision you can see tracks and other special things that show up in red or yellow. Hunting actually reminds me a lot of The Witcher 3. Meanwhile, some of the missions-especially the great hunt missions-are a blast. Even just taming and collecting your menagerie of death is a lot of fun.Įxploring the world, taming wild animals, riding woolly mammoths, and bashing it out in bloody melee combat are the things that make Far Cry Primal a lot of fun. You tame a wide swath of different beasts and they help you fight and hunt, making you far more powerful than an average warrior. A lit club can serve as a torch or as a way to scare of wolves, and it inflicts fire damage if you land a strike on an enemy.īut the real magic comes into play in your role as Beast Master. You can throw "stinger bombs" that are basically beehive grenades. This lends some great variety to the series. In Far Cry Primal guns are out, and a new set of weapons and tools is at your disposal.
