Don't Starve vs Far Cry Primal
Don't Starve
Don't Starve is a pretty dreary and dark survival game set in a rich world filled with plenty of animals/game to hunt, monsters to kill, and resources to gather. With a gothic-like theme, the game's best feature is perhaps the way it hands the reins to its players and let these players decide what sort of survival game they'd want to play and how difficult will the game be. You can literally customize everything in the world you'll be playing in, ranging from the weather, how frequent lightning strikes, how long a season lasts, how much resources are spawned and many more.The game also has a very nice selection of characters that you can gradually unlock as you play the game. Each character will even have their own specialty that you can then make use of when the situation calls for it.
Don't Starve is a survival game that's as punishing as it is vicious. Expect to die a lot in the game and turn all those deaths into useful lessons that you can then build upon. If you fancy surviving with your friends in tow, then you might want to get the multiplayer version of the game, Don't Starve Together, instead.
Far Cry Primal
Far Cry Primal drastically deviates from the usual adventure-shooter game that defined the Far Cry franchise and instead opted to set this game in the Stone Age where humans fight using primitive weapons like spears, and bows and arrows. Being the first of its kind, the game lets you experience the thrill of playing as your ancestors in the resource-rich land of Oros where massive mammoths and sabertooth tigers roam freely. In this game, you'll need to prove your worth and become the apex predator by hunting down dangerous creatures and defeating enemy tribes.Aside from improved and nicely refined mechanics and a refreshingly new theme, Far Cry Primal also has incredible immersion that's not only restricted to its amazing graphics but also the ancient Proto-Indo-European language (with English subtitles) used in the game. There are tons of stuff for you to craft as well. However, the game is a lot shorter than Far Cry 4 and well, although it's realistic, travelling from one location to another feels rather slow (no vehicles). All in all, we'd say that Far Cry Primal is perfect for players who enjoy a chance of scenery.
