Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Created by solo developer Dave Frampton under Majic Jungle, the game stands out not through flashy mechanics or scripted drama, but by allowing players to craft the story of humanity at their own pace.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The day-night cycle is visually beautiful, with soft lighting, changing skies, and the comforting flicker of firelight by night.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is a great concept and plays very well, it would be sick to be able to progress my tribe into the early castle era and be able to expand the diplomacy aspect and interact with other established tribes, AI or multiplayer.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gives you a whole planet to exist on, very much overkill for this type of game, especially that its actually scaled in a way that makes you insanely tiny with big difficulty of travel, but this also gives ground to finding amazing landscapes, moving around the map as nomads and doing tribal trading networks.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I rather enjoy it and i love finding new things to "learn" and It's Co-op now?
