Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey - Sprinting for home
Summary: Ok, with platinum done, it was time for the long sprint for home (48 - Raised Refuge) from all the way out at the far end of the map (68 - Ocean's Arch), so I could do my final evol+ and gen+ jumps. With all but a few nodes unlocked, my sprinting speed and endurance were maxed - so the biggest challenge wasnt predators but keeping my hydration & sleep meters from going empty.
Cue "Chariots of Fire"

BONUS TIP: HOW TO SPRINT (HIDDEN GAME MECHANIC)
I dont know if the PC or X-Box tells players this, but for fellow PS4/PS5 players wondering how the sprint mechanic works, the PS's in-game controller diagram inexcusably fails to mention the following command:
SPRINT: (hold)X + (hold)R2
Regular RUN is just (hold) X (after first unlocking upright walking), and all the game says about R2 is that it's for crafting, item manipulation, and emotions, and thus nobody discovers it's use for sprinting in conjunction with running. Go figure.
I was 85% done with my playthrough before someone clued me into that unlisted command. Maddening.
