Game Summary

Vantage Primitive Survival, has me torn. The creator has made an extremely deep and difficult survival game. Just what we are all looking for. There are however problems that I just can’t get past. For one the graphics are terrible, and for me this is a major problem. The graphical style of a game needs to allow for immersion and this one breaks my immersion all over the place. The second major problem for me is the menu system. I don’t feel like I am playing a survival game, it feels like I am playing a menu simulator game. For example want to throw a spear, 1. switch the weapon to left hand 2. Right click, scroll down to throw. 3. Throw – okay clumsy but maybe doable. now to pickup the spear to throw it again. 1. Click on the screen to get a cursor 2. Click on the spear 3. Open spear menu and equip 4. Go to inventory menu, find spear, right click, scroll down to Throw. Now you are ready to throw your spear again. This is just an insane number of steps to throw one spear. Everything is like this, it has a punishing learning curve, I Highly encourage anyone considering the game to watch the tutorials on YouTube so you can understand how the game works and plays. I really hope the developer creates a “second” version using a well developed engine like Unity or Unreal, I think the choice to develop their own engine was not a good one. I really applaud the effort, but for me the game is a massive fail on execution. There are some people who will get a lot of value out of this one, but I think they will be few and far between.
