![]() ![]() Often times it was just me and my wolf exploring the vast wilderness…and that was perfectly fine by me. I loved the NPC buddies of Far Cry 4 who you could call to back you up in the heat of battle, and so I wasn’t surprised to find that I enjoyed animal taming even more. If your animal friend takes too much damage, you can heal it by feeding it a piece of meat (which you have to acquire via looting carcasses), and as you progress in the game and level up the “Tame” ability, you will be able to control stronger, faster animals and eventually become the ultimate Beastmaster. I was not ashamed to pretend that my wolf was actually a badass Direwolf In addition to the owl, you can only control one other animal at a time, and fear not – dead animals can be revived. The owl can be called to help scout ahead, tag enemies, and is the only animal you manually control the others merely follow you and can only be commanded. Your first “pet” is an owl, acting as your eyes in the sky as you make your way through the treacherous land. These animals, once tamed, become your best friend in the game, as they hunt with you, defend you, and generally do your bidding. As you can imagine, different animals posses different skills and are best utilized in specific situations. I was excited to play around the mind-meld/animal control aspect of the game I’d seen so much about – Takkar learns the ancient (and magical/supernatural) art of animal taming, giving you the ability to control a variety of wildlife from honey badgers to saber-tooth tigers. Now this proved to be a tad of a chore because there of course are no cars, no buggies, no gyro-copter, and no wing suit I fear that getting around the world in Far Cry: Primal may become a bit tiresome. I was told the map was as large as Far Cry 4’s, and I tried to spend as much time as I could exploring. You play as Takkar, a hunter who’s stranded and has been separated from the rest of his tribe. Far Cry: Primal is set 12,000 years in the past, and as the lore goes, the land of Oros was once covered in ice, which has now melted and given way to a new age of beasts, fauna, and mankind. All in all I’d say I spent around 50-60% of the time exploring the world of Oros. I spent around 3½ hours playing through the first couple of hours of the game, and then a later mission/stage of the game where I was provided better weapons and a more experienced player character. With gorgeous graphics, an interesting setting, and what promises to be a captivating story, I was eager to get some quality time with the game. I recently had the opportunity to play Ubisoft’s fifth main installment in the Far Cry series: Far Cry: Primal. ![]()
