❤ Wielding Primitive Weapons

Players must master a variety of Stone Age weapons, including clubs, spears, and bows and arrows. Clubs excel at quick, brutal strikes, while spears offer more range. Bows require careful aim but allow silent takedowns. Choosing the right tool for each situation is crucial, as the lack of firearms creates a more intimate, up-close combat experience compared to previous entries.

❤ Hunting and Gathering for Survival

Tracking, stalking, and taking down wild animals is essential for obtaining crafting materials. The AI-controlled predators pose a genuine threat, requiring patience and skill to overcome. Successfully hunting powerful "boss" animals allows players to tame them, using the beasts as mounts or combat companions. Gathering other resources like wood and rocks is also necessary for crafting crucial tools and weapon upgrades.

❤ Taming and Riding Majestic Beasts

One of Primal's standout features is the ability to tame wild animals. By feeding them bait, players can gain the trust of creatures like sabertooth tigers, cave bears, and woolly mammoths, eventually fully taming them. Tamed beasts serve as mounts, significantly enhancing the player's traversal options, or as fearsome allies in battle, attacking enemies on command.

❤ Tailoring Abilities through Skill Trees

As players progress, they earn skill points to invest in a variety of abilities across different skill trees, such as hunting, survival, and combat. This allows significant customization of the protagonist's playstyle, whether focusing on stealthy approaches, pure combat prowess, or a balanced combination.

❤ Exploring the Expansive Open World

The large, diverse map of Oros encourages thorough exploration, with players discovering and capturing various outposts, caves, and other locations. Clearing these challenges awards valuable resources, upgrades, and progression for the player's tribe, incentivizing a completionist mindset.
