There’s an underlying logic to the game, though. As we pointed out in our review, “ No shit.”ĭiving into Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is baffling and often frustrating.
Even a simple action like dodging an attack is imprecise.Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey starts with a warning that it won’t help you much. The game as a whole needs a little bit more polish, and the combat needs a complete overhaul in my opinion. Aside from the slightly clunky animations and frustrating combat against wild animals, children clip into each other often if you place them on a sleeping mat. While the performance is stable, Ancestors has a number of minor bugs that harm the experience. The Ancestors team could've upgraded the resolution at least if it was too demanding to render the game at 60 FPS. I recognize the fact that developer Panache Digital Games is a small team, but other games like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and No Man's Sky look stunning at 4K on Microsoft's upgraded console.
While the menus are 4K when it comes to the text, everything else is ever-so-slightly blurry. The title appears to be running at 1080p and 30 frames per second (FPS).

Luckily, there's a guided mode available that helps you quite a lot. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to experience this stage for long because Ancestors is an incredibly difficult game, especially when you're first starting out.
While early encounters with wild animals can be quite deadly and frustrating, it seems like the later ones place you in control. You'll start off in the jungle, but eventually find yourself exploring the African Savanna. The game takes you from 10 million to 2 million years ago. This allows you to access new locations easily and gain new abilities to unlock. If you're able to complete certain feats, like intimidating a wild animal or finding a new home for your group, then you can skip ahead hundreds of thousands of years. The same applies to movement and other traits. For example, just by using your senses and identifying items around you, you have the option to unlock new, but similar abilities. This is the simplest way because all you have to do is repeat a few actions and you gain new skills. You can unlock various skills by growing neurons. Ancestors uses two distinct means to level up.
