00:00this is neolithic dawn by the developers neolithic llc and it was released on the 26th of june 2025

00:14now i absolutely loved green hell when i played it on my quest to about four years ago it was my

00:20first experience of a survival game in vr then i played medieval dynasty which i also quite enjoyed

00:26as i played through the campaign and that leads us to this a mix between them both and that's

00:30important to remember if you have played both those games because this game currently doesn't

00:35teach you much in the tutorial you have a gemstone which leads the way but i swear this thing is

00:40battery operated because it stops showing me the way after a while now before i start sounding too

00:45negative this is a great game if you like survival games and it feels like it's gonna be a huge area

00:51to explore i have put in around nine hours so far and i am now on the second area its biggest problem

00:58right now is the tutorial isn't very good whilst it teaches you how to shape rocks into something

01:04and collect vine and make a weapon out of sticks and rocks it doesn't actually tell you where you

01:09can find sticks or medicines there is a hell of a lot that's just not explained to you i think partly

01:14the reason is because sticks are quite hard to see on the floor and sometimes when you approach them they

01:20fall through the floor you can also tame animals not sure which ones and it's not explained but

01:26turns out you just throw a piece of meat at them also when i was on mission two i had to search for

01:33a map in the caves but it doesn't tell you how to make a torch so eventually i died to wolves in the

01:39darkness so you don't make the same mistake i did take a small stick wrap it with a vine and just set

01:45fire to it it's still quite buggy in how you cut up an animal after you kill it like sometimes the

01:50rock ends up on the wrong side of your hand as you're cutting them up so i hope to see big improvements

01:55on that then occasionally you might get stuck on a rock or something and find you have to jump to set

02:00yourself free the backpack feels a little buggy also this is probably the worst thing of the game

02:04right now well for me it is quite often it's a pain to put stuff inside it it seems you can carry quite

02:10a bit and it's organized into different categories food and medicine crafted tools and other items

02:17tames and key items i don't know if this is going to be upgradable there seems to be a lot of totem

02:22poles around the place some have bowls at the bottom of them but again no clue what they are for but

02:27i do like how you can climb almost anything sometimes i think it's a bit too much like it's like

02:33spider-man with how well you can climb flat cliff faces but i do like it you have five survival stats

02:39you need to pay attention to health sleep water food and warmth now i gotta say that i find these

02:47stats go down probably a little too quickly it's like before you can enjoy the game all of a sudden

02:53you've got to fall asleep and you will just randomly fall asleep in the most inconvenient places

02:59or the most inconvenient times for me this goes down a little bit too quickly back at your camp

03:04there are a few tents you can build straight off all the materials are laying around for you inside

03:09the tents there is a bed so you can sleep in the tribe leaders tent there's always a fire burning so

03:14you can use this to cook any meats and get warm you carry a bottle of water on your left hip always

03:19and you can refill that at streams or lakes also on your right hip you carry a crafting tool these two

03:25things are on your hip always as far as i can tell i'm not entirely sure how you get your health back

03:31up i know in the tents back at your base there's a bunch of flowers sitting on the floor now if you

03:36eat those flowers your health does go up but i haven't found any other way as yet and as i explained

03:43it hasn't been explained how to get or make medicines you will get told occasionally that you

03:49have discovered a new area which is always exciting but yet you have no map to look at or know

03:54where you currently are i love that you can swim in all the waters even explore the caves under the

04:00water i also like that when you die you can go out and find your father's remains which was

04:06actually you and then get his well your backpack and loot it unless you die in say a massive drop

04:11which you can't climb down to retrieve the gear which in that case you just gotta go collect more

04:16stuff again animals i've seen so far are mostly wolves bears rabbits fish and deer i'm not sure if

04:23there's anything more as yet but i know there is saber-toothed tigers and mammoths at least as they

04:28were in the game's promo advert controls are easy enough to learn moving climb grabbing pretty simple

04:35stuff you can customize your character male or female skin color eye color face type hairstyle hair color

04:42outfit and hat i also think you can unlock more outfits and hats in the game somehow because i unlocked a

04:48wolf hat but i've no clue how i did it the menus all fit in with the theme of the game so

04:53they look great some options you are offered right now are height seated or standing snap

04:59or smooth turn with how fast you want to turn then audio options with sliders for music environment

05:05sound effects and voice chat there is online playability but i haven't played it yet because

05:10i have the worst internet right now i in fact can't play many of my online games currently so i'm unable

05:16to tell you if it's any good or even if it's working but you can apparently play up to four players

05:21so that's going to be really cool so to sum it up i think this is a great game it's still early but i

05:26think it's a great game but because i play green hell and medieval dynasty i was able to figure out

05:32some of the controls out and some of the survival things because they're very similar so if you play

05:38this now and you haven't played those previous mentioned games you might be left wondering what

05:42to do much of the time but that might be some of the fun in it and it really is at a decent price

05:47right now anyway whatever you decide i hope i've helped you in some small way now please hit those

05:52like and subscribe buttons to show you support me thanks guys and happy gaming
