• Slings: Ranged (Blunt/Distraction)
  Allows Takkar to throw stones with precision. Primarily used for distracting enemies, breaking weak objects, or headshots against unarmored foes. Less damaging than bows but useful for utility.
• Shards (Stone Shards, Berserk Shards): Throwable (Piercing/Effect)
  Sharpened pieces of stone used as throwing daggers for quick, silent kills on unarmored targets. Berserk Shards are coated with a substance that causes enemies to attack anyone nearby, including their allies, creating chaos.
• Bombs (Sting Bomb, Berserk Bomb, Fire Bomb): Throwable (Area of Effect/Utility)
  Crafted throwable explosives. Sting Bombs (Bee Bombs) release a swarm of angry bees that stun and damage enemies. Berserk Bombs have a wider area of effect for turning enemies against each other. Fire Bombs create a lasting area of fire, useful for area denial and igniting flammable objects or enemies.
• Traps: Utility/Area Denial
  Craftable traps that can be placed on the ground to ensnare or damage enemies and animals that step on them. Useful for defending locations or setting ambushes.

• Web-Shooters (Standard): Traversal/Utility/Combat

  When Peter is bonded with the Venom symbiote, he gains access to aggressive tendril-based attacks, enhanced strength, and a powerful 'Symbiote Surge' mode. These replace his Spider-Arm abilities while the suit is active.
• Miles's Venom Powers (Venom Punch, Venom Smash, Venom Jump, Chain Lightning, Galvanize, etc.): Bio-Electric Melee/Special Attacks (Miles Morales)

• Fists & Feet (Melee Combat): Close Quarters
  Both Spider-Men engage in acrobatic hand-to-hand combat, incorporating punches, kicks, dodges, and aerial attacks, often integrated with web abilities.

• Crafted Clothing & Gear Upgrades (Wenja Village): Takkar does not wear traditional 'armor.' Instead, progression involves crafting and upgrading clothing pieces (like winter clothes for cold resistance) and enhancing personal carrying capacity for weapons, ammo (shards, bombs), tools, and resources. These upgrades are primarily done by providing skins, wood, and stone to specialists in the Wenja village. While some crafted clothing might offer minor elemental resistance (e.g., cold), the main 'defense' comes from health upgrades via skills and food buffs.
• Skill-Based Resilience: Defensive capabilities are primarily improved through Takkar's skill tree, unlocking increased health, faster health regeneration, and resistance to certain types of damage (e.g., fire, melee).
• Food Buffs: Consuming specific crafted food recipes can provide temporary buffs to health, stamina, resistances, or other attributes, acting as a form of temporary 'armor' or enhancement.

• Spider-Suits (Various for Peter & Miles): Players unlock and can equip a large variety of Spider-Suits for both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. In Marvel's Spider-Man 2, suits are primarily cosmetic. Suit Powers from the first game are now integrated as unlockable abilities or tied to Suit Tech upgrades. Many suits come with multiple 'Suit Styles' (color variants) that can be unlocked.
• Suit Tech Upgrades (Health, Damage, Focus, Traversal): Players use Tech Parts and Rare Tech Parts to purchase universal Suit Tech upgrades. These upgrades are divided into categories (Health, Damage, Focus, Traversal) and provide passive stat boosts or enhancements that apply to whichever suit Peter or Miles is currently wearing. This system replaces individual suit powers from the first game.

• Primitive Attire: Takkar's clothing is made from animal hides, furs, bones, and plant fibers, reflecting the Stone Age setting. As players upgrade specialists' huts in the Wenja village, they can craft improved versions of clothing, such as winter clothes that provide resistance to cold in the northern regions of Oros. While there isn't extensive cosmetic customization, the appearance of Takkar's gear evolves slightly with these upgrades. Some special outfits were available through the Apex Edition (e.g., paint based on animal spirits).

• Peter Parker's Spider-Suits: A wide array of unlockable suits for Peter, including his Advanced Suit 2.0, Classic Suit, Symbiote Suit, Iron Spider-inspired suits, movie suits, and original designs. Most suits are cosmetic, with abilities tied to Suit Tech. Many have multiple unlockable Suit Styles (color variants).
• Miles Morales's Spider-Suits: A diverse collection of unlockable suits for Miles, including his Upgraded Suit, Classic Suit, TRACK Suit, movie suits (Into the Spider-Verse, Across the Spider-Verse), and original designs. Like Peter's, these are primarily cosmetic with unlockable Suit Styles.
• Suit Tech Upgrades: Universal passive upgrades for Health, Damage, Focus, and Traversal that apply to both Spider-Men regardless of the suit equipped. Purchased with Tech Parts and Rare Tech Parts.
• Civilian Attire (Contextual): During certain story segments where Peter or Miles are not in their Spider-Man suits, they wear civilian clothing. This is not directly customizable by the player.

Takkar's progression involves earning skill points by gaining XP (from missions, hunting, exploration, capturing objectives). Skills are divided into categories like Survival, Hunting, Gathering, Fighting, Crafting, and Beast Master abilities. Key skills include taming different tiers of beasts, improving combat prowess with various primitive weapons, crafting more effective tools and consumables (health, buffs), and enhancing stealth capabilities. The Wenja village also serves as a progression hub; recruiting specialists (Sayla the Gatherer, Tensay the Shaman, Wogah the Crafter, Karoosh the Warrior, Jayma the Hunter, Dah the Udam, Roshani the Izila) and upgrading their huts unlocks new skills, crafting recipes, gear upgrades, and village population bonuses.

Oros is a large and diverse open world featuring distinct biomes. These include temperate forests, marshy swamps, icy northern glaciers and caves, and volcanic southern regions. Each area presents unique environmental challenges, resources, and wildlife. The verticality of the terrain, with cliffs, caves, and high plateaus, encourages exploration. There are no traditional 'regions' to liberate in the same way as other Far Cry games, but rather areas dominated by Udam or Izila presence, with outposts and bonfires to capture.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 features an expanded open-world New York City, roughly twice the size of the map in the first game. It includes all of Manhattan from the previous titles, plus two new boroughs: Queens (Peter's home borough, featuring residential areas like Astoria) and Brooklyn (Miles' home borough, featuring areas like Williamsburg and Coney Island). The map is incredibly detailed, with seamless transitions between boroughs via bridges or web-swinging/gliding. Traversal is significantly enhanced with the addition of Web Wings for gliding and Slingshot Launch for rapid forward momentum.

• Rideable Tamed Beasts: Living Mount / Prehistoric 'Vehicle'
  Far Cry Primal does not feature traditional mechanical vehicles. Instead, Takkar can ride certain tamed beasts for faster traversal and combat advantages. These include: Juvenile Mammoths (slow but powerful, can scatter enemies), Sabretooth Tigers (very fast and agile, good for quick travel and attacking from), and Brown Bears (balanced speed and combat utility, can be ridden after a skill unlock). Riding allows Takkar to use his own ranged weapons from the beast's back.
• Fast Travel (Outposts & Bonfires): Map Traversal Mechanic
  Once Takkar liberates enemy outposts and bonfires, they become Wenja controlled and serve as fast travel points, allowing for quick movement across the large land of Oros without manually traversing the entire distance.

• Web-Swinging & Web-Zipping: Primary Traversal (Player Mechanics)
  The core method of movement for both Spider-Men. Involves swinging on webs attached to buildings, web-zipping to points for bursts of speed, and point-launching for precise aerial maneuvers.
• Web Wings: Aerial Gliding Traversal (Player Mechanics)
  A new traversal tool allowing Peter and Miles to deploy glider-like wings to soar through the city, utilizing wind tunnels found between buildings for sustained flight and increased speed. Complements web-swinging.
• Slingshot Launch: Traversal Launch (Player Mechanics)
  Allows Spider-Man to create a web slingshot between two points and launch himself forward at high speed across large distances or up onto tall buildings.
• Wall-Crawling & Wall-Running: Traversal (Player Mechanics)
  Both Spider-Men can crawl and run on almost any vertical or horizontal surface, allowing for versatile navigation of New York's architecture.
• Civilian Vehicles (Cars, Trucks, Buses, Taxis - Environmental): Environmental Props / Occasional Interaction

  A: No, true to its Stone Age setting, Far Cry Primal features exclusively primitive weapons like clubs, spears, bows, and crafted bombs. There are no firearms or advanced technology.
• Q: How does the Beast Master system work?
  A: Players, as Takkar, can learn to tame various prehistoric animals. This involves approaching an animal, often after distracting it with bait, and performing a taming ritual. Once tamed, the animal becomes a loyal companion that can be commanded to attack enemies, scout, or provide other unique benefits depending on its species. Players can have one active animal companion at a time and can switch between their tamed beasts.
• Q: Is there a spoken language in Far Cry Primal?
  A: Yes, Ubisoft developed three fictional languages for the Wenja, Udam, and Izila tribes, based on Proto-Indo-European linguistic roots to enhance immersion. All dialogue is in these languages with English (or other chosen language) subtitles.
• Q: Can you build or upgrade a base in Far Cry Primal?
  A: Yes, Takkar establishes and upgrades a Wenja village. By recruiting key specialists (like a shaman, crafter, hunter, warrior) and providing them with resources, players can upgrade their huts. Each hut upgrade unlocks new skills for Takkar, new crafting recipes for weapons and gear, population growth for the village (which provides daily resource caches), and other benefits.

• Q: Can I switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales freely?

• Q: What are Web Wings?
  A: Web Wings are a new traversal mechanic in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Both Peter and Miles can deploy these glider-like wings while airborne to soar through the city, utilizing wind tunnels for increased speed and covering large distances much faster than just web-swinging.
• Q: How do the Symbiote powers work for Peter?
  A: When Peter Parker acquires the Venom symbiote, he gains access to a new set of aggressive, tendril-based combat abilities and a 'Symbiote Surge' mode (similar to a rage mode) that significantly enhances his power. These abilities replace his Spider-Arm skills while the Symbiote Suit is active in the story.

Offers various graphics modes (Fidelity for max visuals/RT at 30FPS, Performance for 60FPS with dynamic resolution/less RT, and modes for 120Hz displays with VRR).

The original score by Jason Graves heavily features primitive instrumentation, tribal drums, bone flutes, and guttural vocals, creating a unique and atmospheric soundscape fitting the Stone Age. The game features three fully developed fictional languages for the Wenja, Udam, and Izila tribes, created by linguists based on Proto-Indo-European roots. Sound design is crucial for gameplay, with distinct animal calls indicating presence and threat levels, and environmental sounds providing clues for hunting and survival.

Original score composed by John Paesano, featuring heroic orchestral themes for both Spider-Men, intense action cues, and emotional character motifs. The soundtrack dynamically shifts with gameplay. Sound design is immersive, with distinct web-swinging sounds, impactful combat effects, unique sounds for Symbiote and Venom powers, and the bustling ambience of New York City.

The UI is designed to be immersive and relatively minimalistic to fit the prehistoric setting. Health is represented by a segmented bar. Weapon selection is via a radial menu. Important information is often conveyed through environmental cues, animal behavior, and Takkar's own senses (Hunter Vision). A simplified compass and objective markers guide the player. The game features a fully developed fictional Wenja language (with subtitles) spoken by characters, enhancing immersion.

Features a clean and dynamic HUD displaying health, Focus meter (for finishers/healing), gadget/ability cooldowns, and contextual prompts. A mini-map aids navigation. The main menu provides access to the map, missions, character (skills, suits, gadgets), collectibles, and settings. The FNSM App is used for side activities and requests. Photo Mode is robust.

Standard Ubisoft accessibility options are present, including customizable controls (key remapping, sensitivity), aim assist (though less relevant for melee-focused combat), adjustable difficulty levels, and extensive subtitle customization (size, background, speaker names). Hunter Vision helps highlight important objects, enemies, and tracks.

Offers a wide range of accessibility options, building on Insomniac's previous efforts. Includes customizable controls, extensive subtitle and caption options, options to simplify QTEs, aim assist, options for puzzle timing, high contrast modes for shaders, audio cues for collectibles and combat, gameplay speed modifiers (slow down game speed), and more.

• Official system requirements from Ubisoft (as of game launch). Performance can vary depending on specific hardware, settings, and background applications. An SSD is recommended for optimal performance, especially with the large open world.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs may work if their performance is comparable. Performance on laptops is also heavily influenced by cooling and the GPU's Total Graphics Power (TGP). The estimated laptop specs below are approximate and reflect performance tiers for the game's original release period. **Modern laptop GPUs (NVIDIA RTX 30-series, RTX 40-series, and newer AMD equivalents) will vastly exceed these original recommendations and provide an excellent experience at high resolutions and settings.**
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Higher TGP in a laptop GPU generally correlates with better sustained performance.
