Chronolog entry 00: Evolutionary slowburner
To think that I would play the game that is set in the earliest time period based on the hominid species, let alone set off the first bookend of my backlog in the chronological order.

To think that I would play the game that is set in the earliest time period based on the hominid species, let alone set off the first bookend of my backlog in the chronological order.
Ancestors' survival gameplay core goes by the evolution stages of the said species, as you discover the nature and interactions to spark new methods and physiological capabilites. Henceforth, you gradually make progress through practicing and selecting abilities in the synaptic skill tree. I've been playing for nearly 8 hours, trying my way around to discover new possibilities that this game offers with playable monkeys. On the other hand, this game admittedly doesn't hold hands and rather encourages initiatives in experimentation... (only caveat being that a player like me isn't well-versed in ancient anthropology)
Eventually, I decided to check this off my backlog, having familiarized with the basic gameplay and saving my valuable time for the following games in the chronology. It would have been satisfying to follow the evolution that shaped the mankind we knew, let alone represented in the backlog games overall. But I think the videos on Youtube is well enough for the saved time and follow how the dev team made their presentation for what this game is showing. Can recommend only to survival fans and biology enthusiasts.
