At first I got into the game I was like how do all these people have 30-80hrs in this game. Was relitively frustrating got in the mode where I slowly warmed up to it pinning lizards to walls, learning how to climb walls with spears, and got more and more interested in continuing to play it even just playing around for a couple hours here and there playing with the (surprisingly REALLY) good AI and physics stuff and really toyed around when I found the scavenger den right below my spawn and grabbing explosives, then having all these worms steal my damn spears so I learned to jump around them and spook em then grab my spears and run through the area. That's just one of the many examples of just playing and learning about the ai. All the ai movement is procedural so they're constantly moving and having their own agendas you'll find them in weird places or even trolly places. Its never exactly the same after any death or any day change or even 5mins they'll be where ever tf they wanna go. You can disable certain parts of enemies like wings on vultures and they'll become flightless still trying to kill you. When you get gud at the combat it can be incredibly satisfying to just hunt them down. Got spooked when I lost my spear and this gator started chasing me, all of a sudden I was stuck crawling he came in right behind me and didn't murder me I got confused exited the tunnel and stopped he followed and stared at me I'm just like "hello? You okay?" Another gator appeared and the gator following me attacked it and I had a suspicion he was my friend now so I grabbed a spear and murdered the other gator, and still didn't attack me. Went to my den and woke up next day with him right there with me. Had a few adventures until alas there was cliff and as a purple gator do he got clumbsy and... I never seen em again. I hope he fell into a place with plenty of wonderful things to nom on that's not me. I felt sad. Had it happen again and found out if you throw things you kill at gators they'll steal it if you follow them they'll become your friends! There was so much trial and error and cool little things to learn. Uncover the lore of it all and as you learn about the world it becomes so interesting and made me want to learn everything! Learning there's a order to the story and slugcats hunter (hardest difficulty) was the first cat to go with some interesting story/theories about even reviving a essential character, then survivor followed and when you show up as the survivor that said character is alive and well. Then the monk the easiest character is following after survivor slug cat (their sibling.) These are the first cut scenes for each character so not really spoiling anything. But it all kinda ties in nicely! I hope the expansion adds more iterators as I want to learn and experience even more!! Game starts at okay it's cool. To it's a ducking masterpiece. Is time consuming to figure out what your doing also when you start don't be like me, follow the yellow dude (or don't) I didn't I played a good 30hrs before I was like.. Wait what am I doing? Then yellow dude kept telling me how this way, go that way showing me symbols and visions and finally got where I needed to go. Finally learning where Im supposed to go. Play the game have fun with it and you'll probably get lost exploring not even realizing you have a goal until 30hrs in of just playing around. (Maybe I'm just dumb thou!) Games a masterpiece I Highly recommend it!
