About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want epic, character-driven tension between survivors and a rival, intelligent group like Humans or Contagion, with lots of thrills; Not for you if you prefer fresh, unpredictable storytelling or more fully developed human characters.
Pros: intelligent ape community; tense cross-species conflict; spectacular effects | Cons: human characters weaker; predictable beats; some action overload
