The new tomb raider trilogy features a bow as Lara's main weapon and it's alright. I like Skyrims bow play, but I have a few mods on it to get it feeling more right. The rest of the game is also super fantastic, though I don't know if a solo bow play through is all that viable Horizon has a bunch of arrow types to keep things varied which is good.īreath of the Wild is similar in that it has enough arrow types to give you options.
Thief has fun bow play, and has a few arrow types, but the game is all stealth. Arguably the most fun I've had with a bow in a game. None are super realistic as then the bows wouldn't work all that well (there is a reason we moved on to guns after all).įar Cry 3 has decent bow play, though it suffers from the usual trend of being over powered. In that sense I don't personally feel that any game really gets it right, but a few make it enjoyable enough to use. Archery is one of those weapons that tends to get misrepresented in game in order to fill a role, much like the shotgun.
