I absolutely adore this game
I absolutely adore this game. I'm an archaeologist with a speciality in the paleolithic and this is the first game about early humans that I have ever enjoyed. I love the art, I love the mechanics, I love the population dynamics, the tech tree, the animals, the tools etc. Everything about this game is a delight to play. Mechanically, the game does a really good job of allowing you to micromanage to the extent that you want, I love the gridless system for building, and while there are a few bugs with the way people move around the map, it's largely well done and really enjoyable to watch your people set out to do their tasks. The updates thus far have all been really enjoyable and added to the game well. I hope they keep adding to it! All in all if you like simulation and strategy games and the neolithic I highly recommend getting this game. It's genuinely really exciting to find a game that cares about getting prehistoric details right!

This game had me hooked from the start
This game had me hooked from the start. 13 hours straight. I've not played a single player game like that in a long time. The game is polished. The grouping makes it easy to manage who does what jobs, and the management system keeps control over how much is gathered. The camera angles are fantastic and the animation rigging and models are very well done. Not a lot of goofy noises clicking on characters to see their stats. The Crafting system is a breeze, and will make one or continuous materials. Later in the game the random attacks are always at the worst possible time. The tech tree is very simple but a lot to do before advancing to each age. Best recommendation is the tutorial is a must F7 and TAB are your friend. Not a lot of cutter on the screen unless you want a screen full of status bars. Start out slow and get food and clothing stable and then grow your population. The game is balanced nicely and I didnt experience any bugs yet. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of building / survival simulation games.

My main gripe about this game is that since it's abandonment by the devs
My main gripe about this game is that since it's abandonment by the devs. The devs haven't allowed modders free reign to complete what they left off. All of the mods in the workshop(as of now) are just different maps, starting scenarios, and adjusted rates. Allowing the modding community to do what it does will make this game better. period
