❤ Wield Primitive Weapons with Strategic Combat

Players wield a variety of Stone Age armaments, including spears, clubs, and bows, rather than modern firearms. This forces them to carefully consider which weapon to use based on the situation, as each has unique strengths and weaknesses. The visceral melee combat with brutal clubs and the skill required to effectively utilize the bow and arrow system create an engaging, strategic experience distinct from previous Far Cry titles.

❤ Hunt for Survival and Tame Wild Beasts

Hunting wild animals is a core gameplay loop, with players tracking, stalking, and taking down prey using a variety of tactics. This not only provides essential resources, but also allows players to tame certain animals, like sabertooth tigers and bears, to use as companions or mounts. Managing one's own hunger and exposure to the elements further heightens the sense of being a vulnerable hunter-gatherer.

❤ Freely Explore the Diverse Open World

The open world of Oros presents a range of distinct environments, from dense forests to snowy peaks. Players appreciate the sense of freedom in exploring this natural, living world. As they progress, unlocking new abilities and gear through a robust skill tree system allows them to approach the world's challenges in novel ways. The integration of narrative progression through growing the player's Wenja tribe organically introduces new gameplay mechanics and expands the scope of the experience.

❤ Forge Bonds with Animal Companions

A distinctive feature is the ability to tame wild animals and use them as companions. The process of tracking down and successfully taming beasts like sabertooth tigers and bears, which can then be deployed in combat or used as mounts, provides a novel and engaging addition to the gameplay loop. The interactions between the player and their animal companions, as well as the tactical advantages they provide, are praised as a highlight of the experience.
