Critic Reviews
Like Spore before it, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey falls victim to its own ambition and fails to be engaging. Too much focus is put on the exceptional amount of immersion, that none is spent on making the game fun.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey will give the survival experience to you lightly. It punishes you for being careless, but even more when you go back to the beginning and re-do the same thing all over and over again. Initially, you’ll feel rewarded for learning the game, but it disappointingly ends up in repetition and you’ll eventually just close the game and call it quits for mankind’s evolution.
Our evolution wasn´t easy, as such Ancestors: The Odyssey of Humanity is not an easy game. Although based on a rather original and interesting idea, the game is quite confusing at first, leading to many not enjoying the game. Moreover, the absence of a campaign makes the game less grater. After all, as we learn how to play, the game can become a little more interesting.
The story of our evolution as a species is brought to life in this beautifully crafted third-person open-world survival adventure.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey aims to tackle the evolution of mankind from our animal forebears, a hefty task for any one piece of media. While the goal is incredibly admirable, Panache Digital Games puts too much on its plate.
