    Gute idee, aber leider schlecht umgesetzt.
    Das Spiel hatte Potenzial wie wenig andere Spiele. Doch heraus kam nur ein in Maßen gutes Exemplar. Es gibt einige Fehler. Frustrierend, total langweilig! Kann nur sagen bereue es stark das Spiel gekauft zu haben...

    This is a kind of interesting game to play for a few days, nothing too special though

    This is a fun, challenging game that lacks a clear sense of direction. That said, there are many bugs and implementation failures. A great idea with a lot of potential that is sadly lacking in execution.

    The game has an original setting and at first attractive environment. Unfortunately for players, millions of years are truly dragging, and the sluggish gameplay makes the struggle for survival a struggle for your own sanity. [Issue#298]

    Poor climbing and fighting aside, the gameplay loop is mind-numbingly tedious: eat, drink, make babies, sleep. Keep doing that for hours, and you’ll unlock one semi-useful perk or another, so you can eat, sleep and drink some more. [Issue#240, p.40]

    For anyone interested in a rough idea of what our early ancestors went through as they slowly evolved over time… this game does offer an effective look and feel for that. It has some pretty irritating issues… but for the most part it is likely to draw you in and see you exploring your environment trying to unlock that next ability that will unlock the next branch on the family tree. Evolutionary denialists… well I assume they are not even considering this title anyway, for everyone else… if you can get past the hangups… Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey actually manages to mix a bit of education with an interesting game that may well find you absorbed for hours on end.
