![]() ![]() It’s your responsibility to make sure the ape you’re controlling is getting enough sleep, food, and water. There’s unfortunately no clear goal but to simply invoke the meaning of evolution. Such encouraging words as you blindly begin your mission to expand your tribe, to look for other areas to settle, flirt with other apes and potentially mate to grow your clan. You’re already warned when you start the game that it wouldn’t help you and you have to be a lot curious to survive – “We won’t help you much”. There are a handful of interesting mechanics that would reel you in for some survival escapade, but it wouldn’t last that long. It doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, no, it doesn’t mean it’s a good game either. Instead, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey has completely evolved my experience in games like this for better or worse. That’s what I initially felt about Panache Digital Games’ ape survival game, an idea that would have been great if pulled off correctly. But adapting isn’t a sweet tune that would ring in your ear when you play the game, unfortunately. We learn from things we try, we evolve and adapt, have a sense of fear. That’s the beauty of games like Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. Games like these don’t hand-hold players but encourage them to be curious, to experiment in builds, to make them explore. Survival video games have quite given a lot of players some decent challenge, but that never stopped them from learning every curve that it throws. ![]()
