Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey

I bought his game several years ago because I loved the concept. I remember trying to play the game and failing to even get past the first "mission." I spent an hour, AN HOUR, and still couldn't figure it out. The first task is a training task, IN ALL GAMES. It is the easiest and most straight forward learning tool. I rage quit after being absolutely so confused about what the icons meant, how to achieve even a simple task, or even navigate. I couldn't even find anything online to help me figure it out. I re-installed the game today to revisit, thinking I might have been just a little sensitive at the time or maybe I was distracted and just didn't put enough concentration or patience into the game. That can happen and I'm not a foot-stomping child who WANTS ICE CREAM, MOMMIE! But I was absolutely correct in uninstalling the game and not looking back. 100%. I spent about an hour trying to figure out where to build a sleeping spot, which is the second "mission" after finding the baby. As it turns out, there wasn't a spot to build the sleeping spot. There's no way to locate a spot to build the sleeping spot. Apparently, as an adult ♥♥♥♥ sapien, who hasn't lived the adult life of this ancient hominid species, I'm supposed to magically know something that this adult creature would already know and have learned from it's parents and family. Don't worry. It gets better. Not only is there no way to identify where to build your sleeping spot, but there's no way to learn how to build the sleeping spot. Yeah. The instructions, which logically should be stored in your adult avatar's brain, don't exist for you as the player to access. Hmmm...I wonder how this thing has been sleeping for the years it's taken to get to sexual maturity?? Yeah, I had to do an internet search to learn how. And while I was learning from another ♥♥♥♥ sapien how to build something this primitive species should already know how to build, my health apparently dipped and I ended up dying. For the love of evolution and Darwin, the idea behind this game is amazing, but the ridiculous execution is terrible. Logic dictates that a primitive adult would have skills that he/she learned as an infant, child, adolescent, and young adult. Pretending that not providing a way to access those skills will mimic the difficulties and hardships of primitive species has no reasonable basis. It's the same with a map. An adult of this species would have a map in it's head of the surroundings, yet there's no map available to you, the player. This species would be able to use scent to follow it's map, yet there's nothing for the player to access. What seems like a great concept, turned out to be designers inflicting what they FEEL it would be like. Yet, the logic behind their choices didn't exist. This is was excellently conceived, poorly designed, and atrociously executed. Someone in those design meetings should have used their ♥♥♥♥ sapien level brain and shouted down the idiots pretending that primitive species were just bumbling through a dangerous life without learned skills.
