Sounds like Far Cry Primal

• hotnfresh 3y ago
  I’ve played most of the Far Cry games. Starting with the first one. That one’s by far the most interesting. Dunno about “best” (to me, “interesting” adds enough appeal in this case that it’s probably also my favorite, but “best” depends on the player) but definitely most interesting.

    I gave it up. Too much crafting. Maybe I should go back to it...

      It’s got more of a simulation element than the others (though it’s still very game-oriented, to be clear—I’ve played modded Skyrim that was more simulationist than FC:Primal, without even cranking those mods as far toward realism as they go) which is probably a downer if you’re in for a fun casual romp like most of the other far cry games (especially 3 on). What I found interesting was that it, at times, made me feel a tiny fraction of the kind of awe and fear—and power—that I expect Stone Age people really did feel, for similar reasons. It’s also one of the few games that’s ever taught me a practical non-computer skill. I string my recurve bow the way the first-time longer crafting animation for a bow shows you doing it :-)

    The way it was balanced made Primal feel a lot more 'real' than the other Far Cry games. Normally in Far Cry you might shoot an enemy in the chest 20 times with a rifle and he won't die, simply because that rifle is cheap. In Primal, from what I recall, pretty much all the human enemies would go down with no more than a few arrow wounds. And if it took more than that, an enemy continuing to fight with a few arrows in him was at least easier to suspend disbelief for.
