Dawn of Man

DON'T BUY THIS GAME ..... When are you going to finish the game people paid money for. this game has been INCOMPLETE (not finished) for over 6 yr with no updates to it. the developer has dumped this game to develop a new game. leaving this one on the shelf.

I absolutely love this game; it's one of the best city builders in my library. The soundtrack is gorgeous, the game play is immersive and feels naturally progressive, and I love that the developers have obviously put effort into making it as historically accurate as possible. I do have one constructive criticism - I'm now 130 hours in, have played through many, many times, and I think I've basically exhausted the game's current potential. It appears that the developer is no longer working on this game (which I'm okay with - games can't be worked on indefinitely!), but there's also no real capacity for modders to continue where the developer left off. Games like Cities: Skylines, Banished, and Timberborn are all fantastic examples of how the modding community can expand upon a great city builder game (adding new assets, modes, levels, research lines, etc.) and extend a game's lifespan. I suggest, as a final update, add good modding support so the fans can continue on this game's leg...

I hoped this game would get better. It didn't. Only maintenance patches the last years, and advertisement for their new game. Disappointing.

I really enjoy this game. It could be improved, sure, and it's not particularly difficult compared to other civilization sims. However, I always find myself hyper-focused on it when I play.

The premise of this game is good. The execution is horrendous. This game is either mind numbingly boring, or epically frustrating. When things go smoothly it will bore you to tears. Make one little mistake and things rapidly descend into a cascading effect of one disaster after another with no way to stop it until your population is wiped out. It is just too easy to put your population into a high workload, which doing so makes them complete idiots with zero self preservation, to the point they purposely sabotage themselves, and you have zero control to stop the catastrophic cascade. It like the game is designed to either be extremely easy and boring, or absolutely so difficult you want to pull your hair out and scream at the screen. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND! This game could have been SOOOOOO MUCH better!

No one listens to the tasks, it gets frustrating after a while.

good game

It was never finished in my opinion. Nah screw this.

It's a pretty good game. just gotta watch your food (it's the main way I died a lot)

I tried to enjoy this game but how the AI prioritizes tasks is so problematic and tedious that this game is absolutely unplayable. Why aren't people prioritizing food over mining and other tasks as a general rule of thumb? Why does the workload log count tasks that literally cannot be done yet as first in queue (i.e., constantly repairing buildings), and have all food-related tasks at the end? I literally noticed the AI will have people do literally nothing if they are supposed to repair a building first (which I do in fact have the resources for). This is so f* stupid. I am done.
