After my 20 mins or so in it its so bad I cant even play any more its just awful. You're zoomed in so far the camera view and angle is just atrocious. It makes no sense even with full tutorial it still makes no sense. The controls are so bad as well you can barely lumber around like a hulking beast in a sludge. I have no idea why anyone would play this and enjoy it.

This game is just hours of crawling through a jungle very slowly and occasionally pressing the space-bar to dodge enemies

I've never just immediately known a game was terrible so quickly before in my life.

Quite an interesting core mechanic, and watching your tribe evolve is genuinely satisfying. But it feels bloated and too slow for its own good. There’s a lot of complexity, but not enough gameplay variety to keep things engaging all the way through.

A stupid system of locking the gaze onto a random object instead of the intended one, along with the clunky spawn mechanic of the “stalker cat” nearby (it can be killed, but until then it will keep bothering you), are the only two things that leave an extremely negative impression of the video game, as they create very unfair situations in which your kin are lost.

In all other respects, however, this is a wonderful project with an amazing system of sensations, progression, immersion, and simulation in tree climbing, that I would recommend to anyone genuinely interested in theories of human origins, further enriched by a thrilling sense of exploration and freedom.

If the developers ever decide to release something similar, I ask you to please consider how battles could be improved and made more fair. The fact that I cannot pick up a spear from the ground during a fight because it is surrounded by other items—while at the same time a tiger aggressively attacks me—makes the system frustrating to use. Perhaps adding a small targeting dot or a short slowdown when picking up items in such situations would be a very good idea.

Really fun game if you like exploring and adventure, this game makes you feel part of a ecosystem in balance. Takes a learning curve but it is worth to get involved with the life of an ape millions years ago. I really enjoyed the stalking tigers and the way some predators when full or resting would not bother to hunt you.
