ANCESTORS THE HUMANKIND ODYSSEY REVIEW SIMULATOR

Stick with it, though, and the sense of progress is incredibly rewarding and arguably Ancestors at its best. This is where Ancestors is at its most frustrating, you barely given any guidance on what to do and your hominid incapable of completing even the most menial of tasks. You start off as the kind of ape even Caesar wouldn’t be proud of. Taking the action right back to our species’ origins (even prior to Far Cry Primal), you must nurture and evolve hominids over millions of years, building them up from the hunted to the hunter with careful breeding and steady growth.

Such is life in Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, the long in the making open world monkey simulator from the creator of Assassin’s Creed, Patrice Désilets. I did the only thing you could ever do to grieve a fallen friend: I gave his partner some back rubs and then impregnated her. No bother, I was in the body of another ape back at the HQ within a second. After barely a struggle, I was dead, my expedition a failure. I had no escape, no hope, and no stick - Ancestors’ version of the Master Sword. With a leap out of nowhere, he was on top of me, gnashing away at my neck. The tiger saw me much earlier than I saw him.
