Neolithic Dawn

Neolithic Dawn is one of those VR games that feels rough in a few places but the ideas are so good I honestly dont care much. Making tools by hand, hunting, taming animals and trying to survive the seasons makes the world feel way more alive than most survival games, I really like how dying continues your story through the next generation instead of just deleting everything and starting over. The physics can be a little janky and sometimes im fighting the controls more than the animal trying to kill me but when it all works its easily one of the most immersive VR games ive played. Theres alot of potential here and the developers seem to actually care about making it better, if you like survival games and dont mind a few rough edges I definitely recommend it.

Let me be clear upfront… this was rough. https://youtu.be/BpGOiI93G8I Neolithic Dawn should be an easy win for me. VR survival, primitive setting, crafting, hunting, exploration… that’s my lane. I like survival crafters, I’ve put a ton of time into games like Ark, Conan, Grounded, The Forest. You put that into VR and it should be a slam dunk. It’s not. The biggest issue is that the game just doesn’t work consistently. Basic interactions fail constantly. Picking things up is unreliable, putting items into your backpack is a fight, and half the time objects don’t go where you expect them to. Sometimes they just fly behind you for no reason. The backpack system alone is enough to break the experience. I couldn’t reliably grab it, couldn’t consistently store items, and even lost tools because the game never clearly communicates where things go. There is a slot system, but the tutorial doesn’t explain it, and nothing behaves in a way that makes it intuitive. Controls are another major problem. On Index, hand alignment is off, both hands are angled the same way with no per-hand adjustment, and calibration is a mess. Auto-calibration was unusable, manual calibration didn’t really fi…

the game is pretty janky and clumpy and i think they should add a bit more realism to hunting and piercing all tho its pretty good i would recommend but some parts i dont like

By far my most favorite VR game. Despite only having a couple hours on this game I love the mechanics on this game. The physics are amazing and it just makes me feel like an actual caveman! It has bugs and lag every now and then but its still a good game!

This game is awesome!

Nothing works. I go into the tutorial and i get stuck in a cave I can't get out of and can't interact with anything. I go into story or survival mode, and I can't even start a game. As in, the button to start a game doesn't work! All other buttons work, just not the one that saves the name of my file so I can actually play. I want to play this game. Freaking hell!! It looks fun, but apparently I wont be playing it.
