Experimenting how to better explore, care for yourself, and evolve in new ways is a rewarding experience when you're not being interrupted, Traveling through the trees is fun while it lasts

Help your early ancestors tame a savage landscape and evolve towards modern humans.Family TreeI've been very slow getting this review up… but there's a reason for that and the reason I'm putting it up now is a bookend for my experience with Ancestors: Th...
This industry and medium are notoriously risk-averse, especially nowadays in the era of ballooning budgets and longer development cycles. That Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey got greenlit, funded, and released is a minor miracle. Amazingly ambitious and...
