    I would unironically play the fuck out of an Assassin’s Creed game where you play as a literal Chimpanzee. Imagine the parkour mechanics that come with that.

    Also, obligatory death to Gamers.

        Isn’t that kinda what the ancient aliens plot in those games actually makes humans out to be? Just kinda dumb apes who lucked into becoming the dominant species?

          They were a slave race created by the psionic original species, stripped of their ESP capabilities so they could be easily manipulated with the mind control Apples. Solar storms destroyed the civilization of the “gods” and humans spread out and multiplied in their place.

      The creator of Assassin’s Creed actually made that game. It’s called Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, where you play as an early ape-like predecessor to humans in Africa 10 million years ago

      Look into Ancestors the humankind odyssey. You play as early Homos (teehee) evolving from tree climbers to upright walkers. Avoiding central African predators etc.

      It was made by some former Ubisoft devs from what I heard. Its even got the mechanic of climb a thing to reveal an area. I haven’t played a ton of it, but might catch you!
