Ancestors the humankind odyssey is a game that is truly a diamond in the rough in terms of PS games. It has you playing as a group of apes that eventually evolves to become human. The climbing mechanics are almost spot on, very similar to assassins creed. The survival mechanics are also very well developed, it took me awhile to figure out how to eat a coconut instead of just drinking it. The game is mostly about discovery as it does not tell you exactly how to do most things, some of which you need in order to survive. Once you figure out how its systems work, it is a very rewarding if not tedious game. What the game doesn't tell you is that in order to evolve you must complete evolution objectives(Like kill every predator) that advance years in the game once you pass generations. It does a poor job of telling you what your goal is. But the discovery is totally worth it. As you start to get attached to your apes and really care about their fate. If you are okay with some tedium in your games. Then it is surely worth it if you like games like spore.

Although getting neurons and unlocking new ones was getting a bit boring to do, and a big issue was a certain camp would crash the game and i had to relocate to move on. in the end i loved the game but see it's faults.

Although the graphics could be sharper, this game suits players who love to explore vast environments and tackle puzzles along the way. Based on factual science and history, this is a must for survival lovers that want to learn as they conquer this harsh and unforgiving landscape. Also, hat’s off to this game for offering a unique storyline and gameplay experience, striving away from the open-worlds with maps and guidelines that we are used to playing as gamers.

By then you probably would of discovered most of the things there are to discover and the neuron upgrades become a lot less interesting. The game's controls feel pretty clunky, especially the climbing. I feel like they stopped trying with the attack/defense mechanics because they are horrid. If you expected to be able to rain down spears on unsuspecting prey from the trees, Chase down a gazelle into a ambush, have tribal wars or anything of the such, you'll be greatly disappointed.Basically when you get close enough to an animal time will slow down and you have wait for a sound cue and press A. If you have a spear there's a chance you'll kill the animal but it seems pretty low. Bad monkey game.
