    The gameplay is characterized by a challenging, old-school survival experience set in prehistoric times, with a strong emphasis on crafting, learning, and exploration. While the game offers depth and potential for cooperative multiplayer, players note that the mechanics can be slow to grasp and are not always well explained, leading to a somewhat stagnant experience. Despite its limitations, the game is praised for its rewarding progression system and engaging survival elements, appealing to those willing to invest time in mastering its intricacies.

    • “From my gameplay, it's definitely different; it gives you the old school retro hardcore survival vibe, which I can appreciate.”
    • “The game will definitely challenge you and has so much gameplay. It's a bit slow learning and getting the swing of how it all works, but the dev has done so well to walk you through it all to get started and understand how it all works.”
    • “It encourages crafting, learning, hunting, and fighting to survive. The gameplay is rewarding and makes you earn all of your progress, but think twice about tackling that mammoth solo.”
    • “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.”
  • graphics
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as outdated and reminiscent of older titles, with many users noting that they do not meet modern standards. While some players appreciate the old-school aesthetic and prioritize gameplay over visual fidelity, others express disappointment with the overall graphic quality and its impact on immersion. Ultimately, the consensus suggests that while the graphics may not be impressive, they are adequate for supporting the game's deeper mechanics and activities.

    • “Amazing graphics, really in-depth gameplay with lots to do.”
    • “Though graphics are not on par with many current games, they are adequate for holding my interest and for supporting various activities, e.g. gathering, crafting, etc.”
    • “Awesome prehistoric humanity survival 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!”
    • “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.”
  • grinding
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players appreciate the challenge and find satisfaction in the skill progression, others find it tedious and time-consuming, particularly due to unengaging environments and cumbersome controls. Those who enjoy grinding may thrive in this game, but it may deter players who prefer a more streamlined experience. Overall, the grinding is extensive and can feel like a chore, especially for those not invested in the game's mechanics.

    • “I normally appreciate a good grindy game, but it's just not worth it on this game because I don't enjoy the surroundings.”
    • “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.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally perceived as minimal or lacking depth, with many users noting that it does not provide a polished narrative or guide players through the experience. Overall, expectations for a compelling storyline should be tempered, as it is described as barebones.

    • “The story is well done, with engaging characters and a captivating plot.”
    • “The narrative is amazing, drawing players in with its depth and emotional resonance.”
