Far Cry Primal
Action
March 1, 2016
A spin-off to the first person open world action game series launched by Ubisoft in 2004. Far Cry Primal strands significantly from the previous entries in the franchise, taking us back in time to the year circa 10 thousand B.C. We play as hunter named Trakkar, whose tribe has been slaughtered and who find himself in the dangerous land of Oros, where humans are nothing more than prey for prehistoric beasts. One of the most important features of the game is survival; we explore the world while completing quests, hunting various creatures, crafting useful items and learning new skills. Unlike in the main installments in the series, our hero obviously won’t find any guns in his inventory - only primitive weapons like spears, clubs, and bows. The lack of vehicles is compensated by the possibility of riding different animals.
Ancient Cities
Strategy
March 24, 2023
A real-time strategy game enriched with elements of RPGs, city builders, and survival games. Ancient Cities was developed by the independent developer Uncasual Games. The player assumes the role of a tribal leader living in the Neolithic era. The tasks of the player are to provide shelter and protection against predators for the members of the tribe, as well as to obtain sufficient amounts of food. Gathering resources (the whole in-game economy is based on them) resembles a survival game, as flora and fauna are simulated within a dynamic ecosystem. Consequently, wild plants and animals are soon not enough to sustain a constantly growing tribe. In harsh periods, the player has to distribute supplies wisely - for instance, foods naturally degrade over time. Things can also get complicated as a result of sudden climatic changes and natural disasters - one oftentimes has to decide whether to stay in one's settlement and try to survive a difficult period, or to abandon the base in search for a safer zone. Alongside progression, the player unlocks new upgrades in the extensive technology tree, which allows for improvements to one's methods of crafting and cultivation, making the tribe's existence easier in the long run. Members of the tribe are described by individual sets of statistics, talents and skills. These mechanics are complemented by having more or less friendly relations with other tribes.

Before
Strategy
cancelled
A sandbox real-time strategy game featuring survival elements. It was developed by Facepunch Studios, a team popular for Garry's Mod and Rust. The player is taken to prehistoric times in order to command a tribe of cavemen trying to survive. The gameplay consists of searching for food and basic resources, such as wood or stone, and gathering animal skins. The materials can be used to construct buildings and craft different items. Both the dynamically changing weather and the annual cycle have a significant impact on each playthrough. The player's subordinates are exposed to different threats, such as predators, forces of nature and hostile tribes. Thus real-time combat is an equally important part of the game. As the tribe develops, the number of cavemen increases, they establish a hierarchy, a culture and even a system of beliefs over time.
