Patrice D silets insists Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey didn't review well because critics "didn't play the game"
Former Assassin's Creed developer Patrice D silets has hit out at reviewers of his new game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, insisting some critics "didn't play the game" because of the game's mediocre aggregate score on Metacritic. "I'm used to having bigger numbers than that, so it's the elephant in the room," D silets told attendees of Reboot Develop Red (thanks, "GI.biz"), referring to the typical higher scores achieved by Assassin's Creed games. "But people expected my studio of 35 people to... It sounds like 1666: Amsterdam will be the game Patrice D silets makes next

We're squatting in the freezing rain, my leg is broken, I have an orphaned toddler clinging to my back, and another member of my clan is enthusiastically picking his nose in my sightline. It's not even a tiny bit romantic, but hey—I'm trying to save our species. Listening... Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey shows off its evolution system
"Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey" is a generational survival sim, so while you're making sure your chimps are learning new skills that will help them fend off predators and find food, you'll also be ensuring that the next generation starts off with more advantages.  The final video in the 101 series digs into the RPG-like evolutionary system, which starts with individual chimp learning. You'll be able to make discoveries while controlling individual chimps, like figuring out t...
