Far Cry Primal Survivor Mode

Fans of Far Cry Primal, the new survival game that puts the player in the shoes of a caveman, are in for a treat this April. In an upcoming update “Survivor Mode” will add a new dimension to player experience. Survivor Mode is supposed to give the player a more realistic experience. The new game mode will give the player a stamina meter that will deplete as your character engages in vigorous activities making them slower and weak. The mini map will not be available in survivor mode making traveling much more challenging. Crafting items won’t be an instant process anymore and instead it will be more time consuming. What’s also interesting is that the game will give the player the option to enable permadeath, meaning if you die once it’s game over. I for one am very excited for the new challenge.
