Once you’ve learned how to do something on one ape, they all learn that skill. You can play as any member of the clan, and easily switch between them. The first hour or so you’ll spend learning how to drink, eat, and pick things up.

There is no minimap or quest journal, just you and the jungle. From the get go, you’re meant to figure things out on your own. This game does not hold your hand whatsoever. The ultimate goal is to survive long enough to evolve from prey to predator. You make your way back to camp, where all the other primates in your clan live, and then slowly but surely figure things out. It’s essentially an evolution game, where you start off 10 million years in the past as a baby hominid who watches its mother die savagely before its very eyes. ![]() I really enjoy open world exploration and sim games, and Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey by Panache Digital Games, was definitely something new that I had never seen before.
