Dawn of Man

Dude, I love the feeling of peace and brutality (like having to slaughter my heard of sick pigs) your game creates. It's a unique beauty and I looked forward to playing it. I want to play a game that gets weirder. I want shamanism. I want the bear clan. I want the shaman who turns into the bear. I want a game like a medicine journey through generations of kin.

I am not very impressed... they had a great idea here, leading a small band at the dawn of mankind, but the way that they interact with the environment really takes you out of the immersion. For example, fairly early on in the game, a woman was walking in the woods and got attacked by a cave lion, but instead of being instantly mauled to death as would happen in reality, there were these corny 2005 animations of her jabbing a spear into the face of this huge lion repeatedly until it just falls over dead. Also, there is no division of labor between man and woman, that is to say, a woman can go hunting woolly mammoths alone while a group of men pick berries... I actually had this happen (as you assign tasks in general, not to specific people) and she came back with a woolly mammoth. This was marketed as a somewhat realistic game based in a historical setting. In is in truth a cartoon representation of this era, a waste of a concept and not a very rewarding experience, indeed a waste of my Friday afternoon and evening. Controls aren't great, trade is completely pointless and the tech tree seems rather arbitrary.

Why did I thought few years would improve this game... hunting order litterly dosnt work. Even with low work balance more then enough weapon you'll see just few villagers staning like imbecils at camp, You have to click on every animal you wish to chase manually.

I have a MacBook Pro with that idiotic notch in the menu bar. This game doesn't account for it and display UI elements off the top edge of the screen, making it basically unplayable on this computer. I tried adjusting the resolution setting and that got at most half of the missing area to show up.

How to put it.. the setting is intresting but the mechanics are like every other citiy builder.. The challenge is minmal and the first time a cave bear just went strait to my villiage i was scared then he just walked donw the streets greeted some children and whent away.. Then i had hope for the domesticated dogs.. but thy are uttly usless.. its at best a game like surviving mars but that game i playd more then i will play this..
