Far Cry Primal vs How to Survive 2
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.
How to Survive 2
How to Survive 2 is the sequel to what was a really well-received zombie-survival game. The gameplay here is pretty similar to the original where you'll be farming the environment for resources and return to your base to craft new items and upgrade existing stuff. You can also furnish your base and improve it so as to withstand stronger attacks from roaming zombie hordes. The game even provides a much deeper crafting system, allowing you to create over hundreds of items.However, as many players have noted, the game has changed direction and is designed for multiplayer play, and considering that the game doesn't really have a lot of players now, it can admittedly get kind of boring. This can easily be fixed by adding some random events into the game, but apparently, this is not going to happen.
If you get the game on a discounted price, How to Survive is definitely a good buy. The game is perfect for fans of the original and although it can be quite repetitive at times, if you like that kind of thing, you'll enjoy this game for sure.
