The gameplay is described as in-depth and realistic, set in a prehistoric environment that encourages crafting, learning, and survival mechanics. While some players appreciate the potential for cooperative multiplayer and the balance between survival and exploration, others find the mechanics poorly explained and the overall experience slow and lacking in fun. Despite its limitations, the game offers a rewarding progression system and opportunities for specialization, though improvements are needed to enhance player engagement.
- “The gameplay is realistic, set in prehistoric times.”
- “It encourages crafting, learning, hunting, and fighting to survive; gameplay is rewarding and makes you earn all of your progress, but think twice about tackling that mammoth solo.”
- “There is a good balance between survival and exploration, and the difficulty of survival can be raised and lowered according to your gameplay style, with relative rewards offered when making new characters.”
- “The way the gameplay has been designed and engineered just does not create fun for me; I would have far more fun booting up Stranded 2 than playing this game.”
- “Everything from the walking mechanics, crafting, FPS, graphics, to the sound effects are very bad, even for an EA Access game.”
- “Gameplay, at the time of this review, is limited and incredibly slow, but has a lot of potential to be improved into a co-operative online multiplayer experience that would encourage players to band together and war with other tribes.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that they are outdated and reminiscent of older titles. While some players appreciate the old-school aesthetic and prioritize gameplay over visuals, others find the graphics inadequate and lacking immersion, especially when compared to more modern games. Overall, the visuals are deemed sufficient for supporting gameplay mechanics, but not impressive by contemporary standards.
- “Amazing graphics, really in-depth gameplay with lots to do.”
- “Awesome prehistoric humanity survival game, even making a spear can be hard at first. I'm really enjoying this game :) The old-school graphics don't bother me because I know good gameplay is better than 'good' graphics in a game. Thank you, dev, and keep up the good work!”
- “Yes, the graphics are not from this decade, but who cares, this is deeper than the Mariana Trench.”
- “Graphics are not good and with the other bugs I wish I had seen a review like this one.”
- “You seem to be able to move only in a grid and the graphics suck.”
- “Everything from the walking mechanics, crafting, FPS, graphics through to the sound effects are very bad, even for an EA Access game.”

The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players appreciate the challenge and sense of achievement that comes from extensive skill leveling, many find the process tedious and time-consuming, particularly due to unengaging environments and cumbersome controls. Those who enjoy grinding may find satisfaction in the complexity and rewards, but others feel it detracts from the overall enjoyment, making the experience feel like a chore rather than a rewarding endeavor.
- “It simply was not fun for me to play it despite enjoying the premise that it is built on; it felt tedious and the interaction controls with items, as well as the grind required, made me think of Wurm Unlimited/Online, which sadly in this case is not a compliment.”
- “While 'realistic', this sucks, as grinding to level yourself up can be a waste of time.”
- “It is such a grind; 35 hours in and I can still only carry 1 item in each hand. If someone says they like grinding, this is definitely the game for them.”
