The game as a whole needs a little bit more polish, and the combat needs a complete overhaul in my opinion. Aside from the slightly clunky animations and frustrating combat against wild animals, children clip into each other often if you place them on a sleeping mat. While the performance is stable, Ancestors has a number of minor bugs that harm the experience. The Ancestors team could've upgraded the resolution at least if it was too demanding to render the game at 60 FPS.

The same applies to movement and other traits. For example, just by using your senses and identifying items around you, you have the option to unlock new, but similar abilities. This is the simplest way because all you have to do is repeat a few actions and you gain new skills. You can unlock various skills by growing neurons. However, beware of the massive eagles because venturing too close to their nests results in certain death.Īncestors uses two distinct means to level up. Unfortunately, the dense foliage of the jungle makes it hard to keep your bearings so I would recommend always climbing the tallest trees to reposition yourself.
