I Went Back 10,000,000 Years and Everything Is Trying to Eat Me... 

Tips: Stick to the trees at first, because everything dangerous (aside from the birds) are on the ground, and you travel much faster by jumping from tree to tree. Also, your clan learns by watching, so for instance, if they see you eating something new or doing something new (like cracking open something with a rock, or making a spear for instance) then they will do it too. For example, in this video you can see other apes eating or drinking what you do.

So glad you're trying this game out! There's a lot going on and there's more crafting to do than you might realize. Try various things out and maybe try using one item with another/ on another. I don't want to spoil anything for you, but I hope that wasn't too much of a hint. Can't wait to see more!

Some tips: Use your senses, it’s not a typical game where you figure out what’s going on by looking around with your eyes, you stop moving a lot to switch between senses and get your information that way. You don’t just find predators by stumbling into them, if you’re going to leave the relative safety of the tree canopy, use your sense of hearing to check for predators before going to the forest floor. Always be using all three senses to check what’s going on around you and identify everything with all senses because it increases your neural development. When you are being attacked the game is slowing time and trying to teach you how to dodge the attack but you’re panicking and dismissing the tip and getting destroyed every time. Learn how to dodge. Many actions like grooming, dodging, and crafting use a sound cue to indicate when you release the button. When grooming for example you hold the button til you hear the sound then let go and the bond increases.

This HAS to be a series! This little area of jungle is only a tiny fraction of the playable area, and there's so many mechanics and animals you haven't seen yet. My recommendation: when you use your senses, be extra thorough in identifying literally everything around you. It's what helps you conquer fear of the unknown, and find new and interesting tools and foods. Oh, and definitely stay in the trees as much as possible (not too high though, otherwise the massively-oversized eagle will get you). I loved this video, I've loved watching other RU-vidrs' playthroughs, and I can't wait for more!

I love watching Fooster carry Fisk on his back like that, such a good friend 😄

You really have to be more careful on the ground haha, or at least use the trees more! Anyway it's awesome seeing you play this game, hope it turns into a series. Gonna have to redownload it now.

This game has weird mechanic, but once you internalize them and they become second nature, this game becomes a real gem if you're really nerding out with the concept. Loved it.

I've only seen Ancestors a couple times over the years and it piqued my interest, but every other RU-vidr that I watched dropped it very early on. For now, I legitimately could not ask for a better content creator to pick up the game and showcase what it has to offer than you, it's a perfect match honestly. On the off chance that you'd see this, please consider continuing the game and making it into a series (No pressure or anything as I know you've got The Infected, Metro, possibly SCUM and maybe even Red Dead coming, so take your time and please keep Ancestors at the back of your mind if possible).

Please make this a series! I’m always looking forward to your videos foos!! Can’t wait to see more metro exodus too! Appreciate you and keep up the good work

38:00 you literally died from exhaustion, the bleeding wasn't the only thing taking you down :P The game tells you that you have to manage hunger, thirst, AND tiredness, so sleeping is a must, poor apes don't run on Duracell.

YES!!! FINALLY!!! I thought u'd never try this game out. THANK YOU!!!

I like how it took 30 minutes, 2 giant warthogs, and a tiger for dude to remember he's a monkey.....and to get the hell off the ground 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

foost! please make this a long series once you get the hang of things! i know it’s a lot to get down but all the other playthroughs i’ve seen give up before it gets good and i really want to see the full game played out

Watching you playing this game was hella fun. Tips: use your senses constantly when you move and inspect everything you see with "?"; remember what each item does or at least the healing stuff; walk as much as you can starting with shallow water and while using senses (jumping from tree to tree and using vines is cool but not good for the locomotion neurons); and the most important lay down on a sleep spot and grow neurons, learning how to modify items and improving communication are key. Will be tough at first, took me like 3 tries and lot of dead clan members to figure out how to fight properly lol and way more to fully understand the neuron tree and how generations work. Hoping this to be a series and watch more!

I would kill for this to be a constant video on the channel! this game is great and watching you play it would be even better

You HAVE to do more -- the adventure's only just begun! Also, you got a hang of things MUCH quicker than I did lmao, the learning curve is brutal

I absolutely love this game; it's intensity is unexpected! I never made it very far, but some of the things I learned very early is to stick to your main camp and learn everything you can about smashing rocks, making tools and weapons before you start venturing out. Most importantly, stay in the trees!!! EVERYTHING on the ground will want to kill you. hahah Great first look though!

this game really died huh?

Wow, I did not expect this game to come back, I was waiting YEARS for a new Ancestors playthrough. Thanks fooster

Dude!!!! That was awesome!!! Definitely want to see more of you playing this, absolutely incredible and immersive 👍😎

Oh my goddess, YES!!! I totally forgot about this game! I'm excited to see where you go with this if it becomes a series. Looks like most other Foostian's are pretty stoked too!

Please make this into a series Fooster. Can't wait to see more in the future hopefully! This is an interesting take on survival and gosh that snake was huge!

Friendly reminder. once you start mating and expanding your clan you can hold two baby chimps when exploring. One on the front and on on the back. This game if I remember right is all about imprinting so the more chimps to see the better. Also to help with teaching your monkey to walk upright walk through the water when you can.

Continue working through it...This is the most unique game ive played in a LOOONNNGGG time. I get soo frustrated with it, but it is amazing. I'm redownloading it just because you played it...wanna go back in time again

Always love the interesting games with cool settings you play, Ancestors is very unique! When can we enjoy the next part of Metro? It's my favourite game :)

Would definitely recommend doing some experimentation before committing to a full playthrough - the game is really intuitive once you get to understand it world a bit better, but it' a good idea to burn your first couple of start just learning. Oh and ALWAYS carry *two* kids!

YES! I've played this game since the second it released and absolutely loved it. such a challenge and the fact there is so much freedom and not many hints and tips to survive gives it such a cutting edge survival experience. Very slept on game and im more than happy to see you playing it! this game is no joke and it can be easy to give up when things go wrong, but continue to give it your all until you figure out how to be the king of the jungle!

Already off the bat, I like how this guy does not yap that much and likes to experience the game with us 3:55

Having played this game a bit, this was really enjoyable to see. It was nice seeing how new the game was to you, and how the theories formulate as you take your first steps.

I bought this game when it first came out and still replay it all the time, it is a very unique concept and I like how they literally just throw you in and don't really tell you much, one tip I will give you is to always have a baby with you!

This game was a little annoying on release but it’s really been polished out! Enjoy!

I love this game! It was made by one of the creators of Assassins Creed, Patrice Desilets. He was creative director for the first three Assassins Creed games. He put a lot of love into this game. Created by Panache Digital Games, the indie studio he made after leaving Ubisoft. Once you get the mechanics down in this game it becomes very addicting and really makes you want to explore the entire map/develop you clans brain as much as you can, which the two go hand in hand. Would love to see more Fooster! Thanks for the great content as always!

as someone with 75.1 hours in ancestors I get ptsd when your hominid is in panic ode because i have died because it plays sound that animals make and you don't know what's real or not

You popped up on my feed randomly! I love your content! I'd love to see a full series of this if you're down!

I Loooove this game! Series please. 💚 Thanks for checking it out Fooster. 👍

Almost the whole video my soul just screaming " stick to the tree fooster, you're a monke for a reason "

I would give my right leg to have a series on this game 😂🙏🏼

I played this when it first came out. I'm a big history nerd and I did a lot on human evolution. I'm even currently going through the earth chilldren series which follows neanderthals and modern homo sapiens. I'm so glad I found that you played this. It's going to be an interesting watch. 😊

I definitely want to see you play more of this game! Such a unique game with so many different possibilities

Do more Ancestor videos please, I love this game and I may end up buying it, depending on how good the gameplay is!

I certainly hope as a new member of your channel I certainly hope that you continue this game it seems quite interesting and this is actually what made me subscribe to your channel I've never even watched any of your videos but this one has caught my attention so please please pay more of it it's quite interesting in the concept is quite intriguing thank you

Just binge-watched all these over the weekend and am now Fooked! (Fooster-hooked). Currently watching Stranded Deep ... Verrrry easy to listen to. Voice and sound effects. ❤

I can already tell this going to be the best series

This is such a great game, I've never seen someone play it before! It's definitely very trial and error, but so good!

Please keep this going !!! Btw just a few tips read the way to dodge attacks it helps a lot early game knowing how… and keep track of stam with the circle 😁 loving this tho keep it up x

Please continue this series...It's one of the underrated games and it's so good to see it played by my one of the favourite youtubers...

I'd love this to become a series. Always great to watch these games that center around exploring and discovery without too much handling

I live in South Africa and we had monkey visitors today that almost gave me a heart attack 🤣😂 Fooster just HAD to play this game today.

Yeah! I love this game! Glad you played this. Hope there are more videos on the way!

I love that you play these games that are a few years old. I really enjoyed the far cry primal series you did. It was fantastic. I think everyone is right if you enjoy playing this game I'm with everyone else, more please.

MOOOOORE! Seriously, I wanted to check this game out myself seeing as how nobody from my favourites was playing it longer than 1-2 hours. I really want to see more.

Yes, please I'd loved to see more of this game. I played it some when it came out but it was sooo hard, also when they panik and it gets all dark and eyes glowing it just stressed me out so I stoped playing.. But listening to your voice always relaxes me so I was not stressed at all. Please make it a serie or at least make one or two more to see if you like it!!

This is a great series! I think it could really bring it a lot to the channel.

My GOD!!! So happy you are playing this! Really love this game but never found a good enough youtuber to play it until now. Please do a long series for Ancestors?!

I just killed my entire lineage, mostly by falling out of trees.

This is the first series in a long time i honstly can say i just need MOAAAARRRRRRR!!!! Ive never seen this game before and your shaningans just makes it perfect imo

Yes, continue with this series. I’m interested to see how it develops.

I never thought u would figure out how to cure a poisoned debuff so fast by drinking water, it literally took me hours to figure that out.

Now this is a game that has my heart, I must have finished it around 5 or 6 times now doing various types of challenge run and different starting spawns, Got 100% of the trophies and I remember completely maxing out the skill tree thing on one of my runs.. Mann that took some effort to get all the mutations you need👀🤣

Oh yeah, this is going to be a good series! To answer your question, Titanoboa wasn't around 10 million years ago in Miocene Africa, but 60 to 58 million years ago in Eocene Columbia. There were still damn big snakes around at the time this game is set, though. And you're definitely going to meet them! 😁👍

I’ve always wanted to watch a play through of this! I heard it is considered a difficult game, not sure how accurate that is, but excited to see what it’s all about.

Its so good to see this game again. If you do make a playlist of this game, I'm going to 100% watch every single episode

The land of giant birds pecking our dads to death. :(

this 100% brought me back to the game. excited to see how your journey goes.

That enthusiasm in Foosters voice reminds me of the olden first days of the Forest :D Suuuper cool to see you play this!

I can't stop watching these. I love them thank you ❤️

i'd love to see a series on this, please do make one

I'd love it if this game had a co-op mode, but have one of your friends play as a leopard! (Not entirely because I want to see Fooster as a leopard hunting monke-Fisk, but quite a lot of that!!!)

I would love to see more of this, and i hope more of us wants that too.. ❤️ great video foos keep it up 🤘🏻

omg, Fooster, I love this game so much and used to play it every day in high school. I'm in college now and if you played this game for as long as you could that would be absolutely amazing, it would feel like re playing the game!

Glad that you liked the game. I know people that worked on it. It's from a small studio here in Montreal, Canada.

I love it when you play Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, TheRadBrad did 8-10 videos on it, but he never finished, I'd love to see you finish the game.

Love to see more of this game other youtubers didn't give the justice it needed

Love this game, but when I've played it bugs were ruining some of the stuff and controls weren't great. But the concept is amazing.

This game really does look amazing real nice find Fooster I can't wait to see the rest of this series.😁

Man I really enjoyed this game. Happy to see you give it a go

I've been into apes and evolution for quite some time now and this came up, what a great coincidence thanks for this man.

My 3 year old daughter is obsessed with these videos 😂 they're on repeat

this game was made for you man, really hope you stick with the playthrough! would love to see how things unfold for you

Haha MORE! I love that your panic is as bad as mine was when I tried this game. I had to stop because it gave me a stomach ache lmao! Play it, play it for us who get too stressed! xd

Do more!!!! This is not optional! (Please) Love your videos keep it up👍

Any time I do anything with success I yell "am monkey!" and it fulfills me 😂 love this game. I'm ahead of science by half a million years and the only thing I've looked up was bleeding treatment. This game makes you work for your knowledge.

Tip #1 piggyback 2 small ones for double neuron energy. #2 make couples in your clan and get offspring. #3 lock neurons before changing generation to keep learning

Thank you for the upload! "I saw some stuff.." lmfao. the humor never gets old

I really enjoyed watching you play this and I hope to see you play more of it.

So glad you started it!!! Love this game!!!

Oh man... this is making me want to play this game again. It can have janky controls but it's a fun as heck game.

Make sure to multiply to avoid ending your species

30:32 Sees a giant snake that can kill him in one squeeze and says, "Where's a stick? I need to poke it." Lmao! I am enjoying this so far and that definitely put a smile on my face. Keep up the good work.

please do a full walkthrough, i love your videos

Yes, more of this please!! I'd love to see you become an absolute master of this game like you do with other games!!

first off i love this and wouldnt mind more of this, second is that falling does hurt you so that's probably why you died at the end you had so low health and were susceptible to taking damage easily

Please continue this game! ❤ I’ve seen other creators that play it and never finish it.. I really love this !!! ❤❤❤❤❤

11:20 I think that was how the ape told the other that his wife/daughter had died :(

Definitely want to see more of this. Looks amazing.

I’m gonna have to pick this game up sometime, it looks like it’d be a blast… hope to see this as a series on the channel

Thank you for the video i was literally looking at this game a couple days ago. Read reviews on it and they all seemed mixed. This video helped me make a decision on it. Gonna pick it up Thanks again Fooster.

This looks amazing! 100% vote for more of this :)

11:20 - Guessing that is the grieving father...

Fooster mate I would love to watch you do a full playthrough of this game, your doing a great job so far 😏
