I've got 8 hours or so logged into this game. If you need hand holding, i strongly suggest that you steer clear of this game.
This game DOES require you to think, to experiment! There are subtile clues here and there but you gota pay attention. I got 5 babies and 5 adults and 4 died. You can only breed a female twice. You can’t also breed if they are family. So having those 4 males missing is hurting my tribe! I’ll see how it is when my next evolution take shape. Those 4 that died was because i learned the hard way!
Really enjoying the game and it is a breath of fresh air to see a game that doesnt tell you what to do, AT ALL!
EDIT: I got about 12-13 hours in. I’ve gone thru my second generation. The tribe now sit at about 14. I wish I didn’t lose those 4 apes because now I am wishing from more males to breed the tribe bigger. I’ve ventured fairly far from our settlements and it is very dangerous! A few times I quit before I would lose my alpha male then reloaded! I am actually very close to fully walking upright!! I can fish, use different items to heal!
Honestly, the game now is really starting to shine. They say use a controller but I suggest you don’t! It’s far easier to control the game with a keyboard!
It’s funny all those so called professionals reviews only played a tiny bit of the game. At the level I am at, it’s wonderful! It’s life! 10/10
