Far Cry Primal Hands-On Review - 9 Things You Need To Know

8. Building Your Village Is Essential

From what I've gathered so far, tribal warfare is an integral part of the Far Cry Primal experience. Building your camp from the ground up seems to be a prime directive in the early game, with a bigger base meaning more resources and more allies for your continued fight for survival. Not only is maintaining your own base essential in the early game, but rival tribes take over duties from the regular outposts of the main series that pose a constant threat until they're eliminated. In this sense, infiltrating and destroying opposing camps isn't just another random to-do task on a never ending checklist, but an actual vital mission if you want your own tribe to flourish without the constant pressure of always-lurking enemies. By just giving you that home base from the very beginning, it means that even the most trivial of tasks feel like a significant step in making your life that little bit easier.
