Far Cry Primal stayed top of the club in this week's UK sales charts, fending off strong competition from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Evergreen action game Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 slipped down into third, while favourites Call of Duty: Black Ops III and FIFA 16 rounded out the top ten.
There was room in the best sellers list for Quantic Dream collection Heavy Rain & Beyond: Two Souls – despite the divisive adventures enjoying a staggered rollout on the PlayStation Store. In fact, the title finished in 8th position, which is a really impressive result all things considered. Mortal Kombat XL got off to a less stellar start, however – debuting in 21st place.
More fascinating to us, though, is the re-emergence of Knack, which secured 27th position this week. The launch title has made a shock resurgence in the UK sales charts of late, but we're not entirely sure why. Is it being bundled somewhere, or are people hyped for the sequel? Let's get to the bottom of this mystery in the comments section below.

SF V out, Forza 6 back in. Pathetic Capcom, absolutely f**king pathetic...
Street Fighter V's 11th to be fair, so it only dropped one place week over week. It's not terrible, but yeah... Not great either.
Street Fighter V will serve as a lesson to both Sony and Capcom
Who needs arcade mode when we can have free patches instead. O M G, yes, free patches.
@DominicanGlory What's it got to do with Sony? They did there bit months ago, the rest is on Capcom.
Isn't it time also that we stop obsessing over whether a game is a hit or a flop based on a few weeks sales? Especially when we don't have full sales numbers or what Capcom expected to sell early doors. For the record Capcom expect SFV to sell 2 million copies and they must be close to 500k already before the big tournaments scenes give it another boost.
@thiz your attitude is EXACTLY why many people fell out with fighting games.
I just checked your profile. Yep. Try harder. Subtlety is the mark of a good troll.
Did any one buy far cry primal and like it? I felt like melee combat wasn't good enough in far cry to build a game around a setting that focuses on that and bows.
@thiz I wouldn't say I was picking fights here. I don't know you, and on the strength of my limited interaction so far I'd prefer to keep it that way.
What I will say is that you're quite obviously trolling, and not very good at it. This will be my last word on the matter.
@sonicmeerkat Yes. I have been loving Primal. The atmosphere is great and throwing spear's is great fun. Also riding sabertooth tigers shooting with the bow and stealth kills are fun too. It really is a fun game.
@tenderbeefcake Huh alright I'll check it out when it drops a little in price, thanks.
