I played long enough to make my apes smart and strong so I don't really understand complaints saying "The game won't tell you what to do" well, it's your journey, you decide to do whatever you want. It's all up to you to figure out and discover something. You just don't have the patience. At first I was also confused as well. What am I gonna do? I can't do this? so maybe that? Nope, I can't as well. I fell from a tree and died. Got attacked by anaconda and died. I was bleeding dunno what to do and died. It keeps happening but hey, at least I learnt something new. Now I can kill anaconda that killed me before, even the sabertooth. I know what to do if my apes bleed, have broken bones, get cold etc. My apes only died from old age. You will learn it slowly. Just like the monke.

The absolute joy this game gave me was insane. I agree a lot of the late game is really boring and is just a checklist to get those last achievements, the last area being especially dull and empty of anything interesting, but damn! The first and middle/early late section of the game for me was just mythical, exploring and learning new things often the hard way, wandering around constantly watching my back to make sure a predator wasn't stalking me was a surreal feeling. You could just sense something was stalking you in the long grass or waters edge and for a game to pull that off so well, for me is very impressive. I had one white sabertooth target my family for a whole generation, it would hang out around my home and pick off my family members one by one and it wasn't until the next generation I was finally able to kill it, leaving me with a great sense of accomplishment. Dragging this spear ridden big cat down and caving it's skull in after what felt like a life time of being hunted by this beast was probably the greatest highlight for me with this game. I was screaming like an ape behind my computer screen rejoicing in it's demise XD

Devs please revisit this game. The thought and love put into is clearly visible. You clearly wanted to make a great product which you did but the game could use updates. Your fan base love it but its missing some polish. I enjoyed not having all the answers to how to do something even though its possible and having to figure it out. You've got fans of this game and youre missing out on some of your crowd due to frustration. Some people just want to play the story. Expansions would be great. The thought of progressing even further would be great. Evolution concepts would be spectacular. Please read your player base critiques and try to cater as best as possible. I dont' know if this idea is dead but you made a great game i would recommend but whats next?
