8. You (Probably) Won't Miss The Guns
"Theres something very gratifying about the weight of the spear as you hurl it into an enemy and watch them launch backward from the impact. I even speared people into walls, something I didnt realize was possible until the end of the game." - Paul Tassi, Forbes."The bow and arrow is more satisfying than any gun from Far Cry 4" - Simon Miller, VideoGamer.com (Youtube Review) If you were playing Far Cry 'right', which is to say, if you were focussing on being stealthy, the bow and arrow would already be your weapon of choice. For Primal, this makes up an offensive trident of weapons alongside a club and spear, the latter of which will become your go-to pokey-stick of choice as you dodge and weave to hit enemies. It's worth pointing out that various reviewers have noted the choice to go full-on melee combat feels like playing such a class in Skyrim, which for better or worse means battles are mad scrambles of twitchy animations, seeing both sides attempt to skewer each other first. It all comes down to how these things feel when they connect, which if you role-play a little and take out settlements stealthily (read: 'realistically'), means you're rewarded with meaty animations and a game that prioritises tactics and thoughtful insertion methods.
