There are a few flaws that players pointed out way back in 2019 that still aren’t fixed but maybe you won't mind. Developers gave up. I’ve had many good moments, but this game has broken mechanics, faulty AI (dumb villagers), and lazy UI development. So only play if you REALLY want this experience (proper primal city-builder with good visuals)

For example, there is no way to empty a villager’s inventory (to replace old or almost broken items) but there is a button to empty an entire building’s inventory… makes NO SENSE (but if you're not playing Hardcore it would be fine because raiders are easier)

and then, why would they program the hunters to walk in a single file line (often spread out)? When the person in the front of the line throws a spear, the animal runs away, then all the other hunters can’t throw because they are too far away now. Why even send 6 hunters if only one will attack? Would it REALLY have been that difficult to program them to walk side by side in a line? So that they all reach the animal at the same time and can all throw at the same time? (Which is what ancient hunters did) This means that if you think a hunt is dangerous, you will have to micromanage it by positioning the hunters carefully (and usually manually sending extra hunters to prevent deaths)

Again, only buy if you know you will enjoy! (and preferably on sale)

and yes I know I have hundreds of hours in the game, that’s why I’m so angry they made such fundamental mistakes and never fixed them! In 2021-2022 I still had hope they would… now in 2025 I’ve been playing this game again and I’m shocked that they took the money and just ran with it, because they would reply to comments saying they'd work on the issues. Shocked enough to write my first long Steam comment. Careless devs should find a new profession. I see them as scammers who release unfinished products and then reply to complaints as if they actually care. Deceitful!

my tribe hunted mammoths for meat...winters are hard...

I enjoy the game but usually once I get to about 80-100 people they all start starving cause my people are conservative and would rather build a wall (not prioritized and yes it is the ones holding the sickles) than harvest (prioritized) causing all my animals to die as well. Also watched a starving person harvest veggies then drop it off in a house...they do nothing to save themselves.
