Far Cry Primal Review: 10 Critical Reactions You Need To See
3. Beast Master Skill Tree Unlocks Different Gameplay Abilities
" allows you to tame the creatures in this ancient setting, recruiting them to hunt, fight, and travel with you. Learning the unique abilities of each animal, and taking the time to experiment with them, is essential for your survival. After a while, your predator allies become an extension of yourself. They become the powerful weapons otherwise absent in the the abrasive wilderness." - Mike Mahardy, Gamespot."[...] All the available beasts have certain individual strengths. The leopard will auto-tag nearby animals, and the badger can revive itself from death. Takkars omnipresent owl companion - a deadly, drone-like creature that I relied on often and that can be trained to attack and kill enemies itself, as well as drop pots filled with deadly bees, toxic gas, or fire - is also exceptionally useful: dont forget about it. - Luke Reilly, IGN Furthermore from the 'man vs. nature' ideology, it appears the only way to go is to become one, and as such, Ubisoft have clearly been playing Metal Gear Solid V, letting you choose to harness the powers of a number of different animal companions. This is the big standout new feature of Primal, and although the abilities themselves aren't necessarily game-changing, it's great to see small modifiers tweak and improve the base gameplay loop we're already familiar with. What you'll find is Ubisoft have found new and unique ways of ensuring the modern elements of the formula translate across to the olden era - which turns into the biggest core appeal and reason to play. The owl you'll gain access to is essentially a better-functioning pair of binoculars, letting you fly ahead of Takkar, tag enemies and survey the landscape before you head in. This crossover and modifying of functionality will most likely be the biggest boon to Primal's success and its individuality in comparison to the past games - but will also put off those who revelled in the modern aspects of those same games.
