Deal | This open world survival game set at the dawn of humankind is 80% off on Steam

Over the years, open world games have explored many universes and periods of history, such as the Wild West and the Middle Ages. However, some games immerse players in the early days of humanity, such as Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, an open world survival game in which you must evolve your species.

The game takes place in Africa during the Neogene period, and you will have to explore a world as beautiful as it is dangerous. There are different landscapes, such as lush forests, oceans, and grasslands. You will have to venture into each environment to feed yourself and meet the needs of your clan.

But be careful, because each environment also has its share of predators that will not hesitate to attack you. To survive, you will have to expand your clan, and defend yourself with various tools that you will find or make.

As you progress, you will observe a physical and intellectual evolution, which will allow you to make new discoveries that will be decisive for the continuity of your species. Finally, you can specialize in several fields, which will help you survive.

With its open world and its story that immerses players in the early days of humanity, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey has 78% positive reviews out of over 11,100 reviews. And it is now 80% off on Steam, available for $7.99 instead of $39.99 until February 23, 2026. But while this offer may seem significant, it has already occurred in the past. According to SteamDB, this game was already available at this price several times last year.

Players enjoyed this game, which is immersive and pushes them to make decisions. The soundtrack is also loved, as it matches the atmosphere of the game. But some people didn't like it, mainly because of the repetitive gameplay. And many features are difficult to understand because of an interface that is not informative.
