Ubisoft took a risk stripping the guns from Far Cry and swapping them out for clubs, spears and remote-controlled owls, but it seems to have paid off, with the game taking the number one spot in the UK charts.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has seen its 11-week run at the top moved down three places, with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD at number two and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 – a game with its roots (sorry) in a Call of Duty pun – at number three.
FIFA 16 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 are still hanging into the top five, with Black Ops 3 in fourth and FIFA 16 in fifth.

1. Far Cry Primal
