Hello dear reader.
I would like to feel complete freedom of action in the game, wander around the open world and follow the development that I chose myself, and absolutely without any prompts from the game?
then don’t pass by!
Today in our review is a survival simulator with a third-person view Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey

Ancestors is a game from Panache Digital Games, which was founded by Patrice Désilets, the game designer of the old Assassin’s Creed and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Game genre – action with a third-person view with elements of a survival simulator.

The idea of ​​the game deserves great respect! After all, based on the idea, the player has enormous freedom in choosing actions. This product could make a splash in the world of the gaming industry.
But not everything is as smooth as we would like.

You start the game, choose the difficulty level, gender and the name of your family! Then the cut scene starts (which cannot be missed and will have to be watched every time it starts again).
Now forget that you are Homo sapiens (although looking at some people you understand that evolution has reached a dead end)) Now you are a small skinny hominid.

family of the most advanced primates, including humans and great apes

After watching the cutscene, they give you control of the cub! And immediately you are faced with one of the game mechanics – fear! visibility of the world is extremely poor, fog and hallucinations are everywhere!
You need to get to a safe place. It’s not difficult to do this, as soon as you reach your destination you are given control of an already adult Hominid and, in fact, with training from the creators, that’s all!
At this very moment you will feel like a real down. After all, many are accustomed to at least some kind of training or hints in which direction to go! But here a complete surprise awaits you – what to do, where to run and what to look for is absolutely not clear. The game is extremely unplayer friendly. Everything suggests that it is very difficult to go through the path of evolution.

control
The controls in the game are also not the best. Initially, we are offered to pick up a gamepad for convenience, of course it’s not a problem where it is? but it’s true that I don’t have it, and many people don’t either! Well, to hell with it, switch to the keyboard. And after 5 minutes we understand that the controls for a game of this kind are terribly overdone! You often get confused and click the wrong thing! This is very annoying.

gameplay
The game provides the player with a wide range of freedom. From the very beginning we are free to do whatever we want. Do you want to just go and explore the beauty of the local flora and fauna?? Easily. You can move both on the ground and through trees. But you still have to be careful.
The gameplay does not imply fast passage and any dynamics in the game. You will have to be as careful and careful as possible – just like a real creature in an unfriendly forest. Anyone can attack anywhere, be it a snake, a wild boar or a huge python.
The game has a combat system. It is, in principle, very simple – when attacked, you are asked to choose which direction to jump. If to the side, you dodge, if forward, then you counterattack the enemy. But my advice to you is better not to do this without any weapon in your hand.
Your main actions in the game will be aimed at learning anything and everything. To interact with the world around you, you will have several basic functions – intelligence, hearing and smell. You will have to try, smell and remember every thing discovered in the game.
Things can be piled up and something can be built. So far I’ve only managed to build a sun lounger out of sticks and leaves.
All this freedom of action begins to gradually put pressure on the player with its monotony and monotony. You’re really trying to figure out how to teach this monkey to make a stake out of a stick.

In addition to learning new twigs and sticks, you also need to work on increasing the size of the flock. And this process is also far from the fastest. You’ll have to scratch each other’s backs much more often than a 14-year-old teenager doing this mess alone =)
But the bigger your tribe, the better. During evolution, once again I will take into account everything – how many members of the tribe were born, and how many died. Well, as well as all your evolutionary achievements.

As a result
The game came out unique. The idea was great, but as always there were problems with the implementation. Everything in the game is too complicated, the controls are not convenient, the graphics are certainly not the same as in the trailer, but at the level of the 2010s. The gameplay stops being interesting after 3 hours. Not everyone is ready to do the same monotonous work. After all, in the game you want to have fun, not work.
Still, my advice is worth a try. Certain guides have already appeared on the sites and you can simplify your task by reading them. Although it won’t be as interesting as trying to reach with your modern mind how to sharpen a stake or break a coconut.
Thank you all for your attention.

Best comments

You’re completely wrong. I don’t know where you got the information that people find it more pleasant to read such text, but the source was contradictory. I perceive literate information with a bunch of signs, epithets and complex grammatical structures much better. I think, like most adequate users who, I emphasize, are able to buy this or that game. But this text, ala “he told the kids about the toy near the pad”, doesn’t suit anyone at all. Perhaps only for those who steal the game or watch it on YouTube.

Either change and adapt to the needs of the consumer, since you have already accessed the Internet, or simply do not poke your nose into an area in which you cannot work.

I honestly re-read this sentence several times, trying to understand your point. No problem where he is? T.e. you know exactly where your gamepad is? Of course not a problem? T. e. playing on a gamepad is obviously not a problem? But what will happen if you think a little about writing this sentence – Initially, we are offered to pick up a gamepad for convenience, of course, no problem, where is he? This is how just two commas separate the flow of thought, making it much clearer. Personally, this sentence reminded me of the phrase “Execution cannot be pardoned.”."And if anyone remembers the plot of that fairy tale, such a lack of a comma almost cost the main character his life. Well, in general, I advise only one thing: still listen to people and next time pay closer attention to literacy. A little experience – and there will be good short notes. And if you continue to apply the rule “I write as I want, it’s the Internet,” then you shouldn’t be surprised at the negative reaction of readers.

When people see the author’s obvious https://gamblingsitesnotongamstop.co.uk/ lack of understanding of how to make it readable and beautiful, they want to make at least a small amount of effort to set them on the right path. I can even explain why they

Because they have experience. Many have written more than one blog, received more than one mower, and have been doing this for more than one month. They have an idea of ​​what people might like and what will make the reader smirk and close the blog.
I don’t understand the position

When it comes to simple lack of experience. I’m not saying that you have to completely obey the rules and follow the pattern. Creativity should be expressed, but at the same time, if the author is aiming for a wide audience, it should be digestible for the reader. The text can be as close as possible to the audience and at the same time not have many typos, grammatical and punctuation errors.

You, dear writers, write your articles like a closed group; those who are not with you and those who are against you are to be shot!

“They don’t go to someone else’s monastery with their own rules”. If people see some behavior that is considered different from the norm, then they will try to correct it. There’s nothing wrong with that, really. This is how man is made. He wants to be comfortable.
But it’s one thing when a “closed group” actually kicks the author out of the site, and another thing when the author himself does not want to put up with the norms established, to be honest, everywhere. Deviant behavior.
People from blogs try to help beginners. If they wanted to expel a person from the site, they would have done it a long time ago. Authors of “one video” blogs are not on the site for a long time.

I’ll pass the crocodile, I’ll pass the crocodile, I’ll pass the crocodile.

If people don’t like it, they give it a thumbs down. If you like it, thumbs up. Sometimes they even leave their opinion on someone’s work. And the opinion can be both negative and positive. And they are all important. Apart from stupid hate, which, by the way, is not here. But whether the author wants it or not, he will listen/read/see these opinions. If he only wants to see the positive, then either he is arrogant or he needs to make a big effort. If the author does not want to see any opinions, then he turns off the ability to comment. But the question arises: why then did he waste his time and energy??

And that’s exactly what’s impartial.
People are honest and nasty. 🙂

The controls in the game are also not the best. Initially, we are offered to pick up a gamepad for convenience, of course it’s not a problem where it is? but it’s true that I don’t have it, and many people don’t either! Well, to hell with it, switch to the keyboard. And after 5 minutes we understand that the controls for a game of this kind are terribly overdone! You often get confused and click the wrong thing! This is very annoying.

Too many exclamation marks that put emphasis in unnecessary places. Sentences are not divided into semantic parts, but are molded into large and strange structures, which are very difficult to perceive. This style of “I’m writing like I just felt it” rather interferes with grasping the essence than adds emotionality.

And “hominids” are a family, this is much higher in the classification. You are a hominid, I am a hominid. Chimpanzees are also hominids. Any person is a hominid, just like any person and primate/ape, but his species is Homo Sapiens. In the game, as I understand it, there is an earlier view (but I didn’t play, I won’t say the exact view).

It turns out that this is already a review in the language of bastards. And since when can competent and voluminous text spoil the game?? Unless the author directly writes, for example, that Scott Shelby is the killer in Heavy Rain.

This is the case when the text version is better than the video. In the video I was confused by the inconsistency of the calm voice N.Drozdova, several mats with sound inserts from the game Mario.

Why bomb like that?? It happens that you are simply not given the ability to write beautifully. Write in a way that interests readers.

Read books, find your style.

I passed the Unified State Exam in Russian with 92 points, I’m fine.

You haven’t proven or disproved anything about hominids. This family, not the view. Homo Sapiens is a species, Homo Erectus is a species, but "Birch" is a family. But the birch trees already include, for example, the birch itself, the alder, as well as the hazel tree from which hazelnuts are collected. This is already species.
So google it or don’t use such smart words if you don’t know their meanings.

I don’t even want to talk about the beginning. You don’t respect your own readers, you get the same attitude in return.

I honestly can’t understand you)) What’s wrong with this word in my definition? Yes, you are a hominid, I am a hominid, etc.d. The hominid family is divided into two subfamilies with four genera and eight extant species. A game about the evolution of these same hominids. You’re playing as a hominid – that’s not true? Yes, hominid, a more general definition, is a family! but the name is correct, I did not indicate a specific type. If you can explain what’s wrong?

But this text, ala “he told the kids about the toy near the pad”, doesn’t suit anyone at all. Perhaps only for those who steal the game or watch it on YouTube.

That is, if I don’t have a certain console, or weak hardware, but I’m still interested in what’s happening in a certain game, and I looked at the walkthrough on YouTube, because of this I become a “cattle”. Hmm..

Hello. I can’t figure out where I wrote that a hominid is a species? I took the normal definition of hominid. I didn’t invent it =). The word hominid itself was also taken by the game developers and not by me.

Hello. I would not say that the simple language of communication resembles the language bastards. It’s even a little offensive, isn’t it?? Everyone has their own style of storytelling, just as everyone likes to read in their own way. Some people like long text that takes 15-20 minutes to read. Others like a more concise and to-the-point review. You can accidentally post a spoiler without meaning to. Someone even wrote to me that when telling a story, it is necessary to take into account the plot and describe the plot, development, etc.n. It’s places like these where you can tell interesting things.
I try to write in the manner that suits me, everything is not smooth and to everyone’s taste, agree?

I noticed one thing, dear readers – bloggers)) Most often, a negative reaction and negative criticism is purely your prerogative! You don’t like the writing style, you don’t like commas, you’re not happy that someone doesn’t write the way you want and the way you see it! There is not enough text, did not reveal something, used phraseology incorrectly!
My phrase about the gamepad had a purely humorous slant and to distort it into incredible speculation, where I don’t know or I don’t even know what a gamepad is is absurd!
I looked at your blogs, all actively participating in the flagellation of one! You are engaging in sycophancy with each other! Everyone who is not with you and defends that it happens differently, that a different point of view has the right to be, you immediately in the comments try to convince that you are not like that, you are wrong, catch the minuses in karma, and throw them en masse)) Many readers have looked and move on, but you, dear writers, write your articles – like a closed group, who is not with you and who is against you – to be shot! I also like to watch video reviews and read interesting articles, but in my opinion there is too much unnecessary stuff in them! Particularly interesting are the stories about what a genius the creator is, how the company suffered and how much time it wasted! I don’t need such information (and I’m far from alone). Before buying a game, I want to see what’s in it, what are the pros, cons, bugs, graphics, but read for 15 minutes about how my grandfather and grandmother lived . So stop doing nonsense! Sofa critics! You have your own point of view, I have a different point of view! do what you know – write and look for your readers, I’m looking for mine! saw my blog, skip it, realizing that I am not worthy of the attention of such the GREATEST and SMARTEST reviewers! Kill it already)))

Guys, here’s what I don’t understand: is it that you all have a problem with grammar and punctuation?? it’s his mother’s internet! I think if you are tested word for word, who of you will pass the Unified State Exam in Russian?! My style of writing is simple, as if there is no wall between the reader and the writer! as if I’m telling a person just like that, face to face, PERSONALLY. in simple terms. You won’t believe it, but sometimes no one needs your overly complicated text with awesome grammar and punctuation, as well as a bunch of extra (incredibly extra) water! A person just wants to know about the game – is it worth buying or downloading it (everyone has their own way). I wouldn’t want to know the whole plot, plot, turning points and resolution! a review for that and a review – to show a person whether the game is worth the time or not! and not tell absolutely all of her secrets! I just put exclamation marks)) I’m so used to it) this is an internet language.
And yes – hominids
WIKIPEDIA
Hominids (lat. Hominidae) – a family of the most advanced primates, including humans and great apes. Together with gibbons, it forms the superfamily hominoids.

Previously, only humans and their extinct ancestors were classified as hominids, and orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees were classified as a separate family, pongidae. However, with this definition, the pongidae family becomes paraphyletic (that is, it does not include all species descended from their closest common ancestor), while modern biology strives for monophyletic taxa. Therefore, most biologists now include orangutans in the family hominids as a subfamily of pongina (lat. Ponginae). In addition, gorillas and chimpanzees are often included in the subfamily hominins (lat. Homininae) together with people. This is the classification shown below.
