Embark on the most incredible odyssey known to humankind: human evolution.Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a third-person open world survival game where you Explore, Expand, and Evolve to advance your clan to the next generation in this exhilarating new adventure from the creator of Assassin’s Creed.Ancestors takes its survival elements very seriously and while it is possible to recover from certain wounds, in a way we have trouble imagining is realistic, everything else has an impressive air of authenticity. Not only does everything want to kill you but you must also be careful about what you eat and drink and whether you get enough sleep. As that implies, you’re not controlling the same ape all the time, but instead are trying to ensure the survival of the group as a whole, taking control of other members if one is killed and, after various time skips, their ancestors until eventually you get to the point we’re you’re playing as a genuine proto-human.Īncestors or not though, you will certainly be seeing a lot of death, as prehistoric Africa is not a safe place for your average ape. The Humankind Odyssey of the subtitle has been imagined as a trilogy, but this first game starts off in 10 million BC and charts the history of your clan across a further eight million years of history.
