ARK: Survival Evolved

I just made this account to comment that this game is very great and simple/easy to follow along with. Has an interesting lore like many games out there and a superb soundtrack. This game is very fun especially on multiplayer but single-player is also very fun that is when you have stuff to do by yourself. It may be a little difficult and buggy but I spent hours playing this simple video game. So 10/10.

Listening to the soundtrack for this game is also very nostalgic!

I bought this game when it was on sale on Steam for I believe $20.00, played and it's actually pretty good, the only thing is that it requires SO MUCH to run although I'd say in the end it's worth it.

The games atmosphere is just groundbreaking in many ways, if you focus solely on the premise and sound design of the game you will most likely be reeled in for a good playthrough. On PC there are also many mods you could download to add variety to your game which is in my opinion very amazing. Multi-player is slightly more fun than single player but they are still both good in many ways. I also have to give out some pros on the graphics they are very good and has amazing visuals to go along with it, they may look pretty bad on a PC with lesser requirements but on a PC with a great graphics card they should look great.

Now the game does have its problems. For one as I said before it requires a beast PC in order to perform properly, and as of 2022 there are still a couple of bugs that remain in the game which can get a little aggravating to work with.

I give this game an 8/10.

If you want to play alone i don't recommend the game. But if you want to play with friends is awesome. I have it on ps4 and pc and is much better on pc but still recommend in both plataforms.

The game is overall pretty good, though does have some technical problems I give it a 7.1/10.

There will be plenty of people who will say there is nothing to do or that the game is grindy. But us, people giving it high ratings stops only what we can imagine. I have met all types of people while playing on official PVE. There were those that did nothing but the breeding. There were those building amazingly beautiful castles and houses. there were also those who made huge tribes creating laggy bases, and also holidays when they stopped playing because by the time their bases expired, there were a dozen of players getting ready to claim their dinos. I have always played alone. And I did a little of everything. I built interesting bases or monuments. I explored every single cave. I also made ours to dangerous places for new people. I traded and slowly progressed through the game. Then my favorite game was released--Scorched Earth. I am not sure what was so captivating for me living in a hot desert world. But almost everything in that DLC will forever be my most memorable experience. The game is good alone and with friends (progression is definitely easier with others though). This game with all its problems and bad optimization is rated high by the people make their own story. We don't need a story to play, we just need to be able to make our own. That is something I dislike The Last of Us 2 because that game was a crime against choice and creativity. I recommend ark for people who are interested in sandbox games and huge world with many ways to travel and build. Raking 2000k hours I still haven't finished 30% of all I planned. If you are looking for an active community that went on without wipes for years, I recommend Arkade. They have all maps and PVE+PVP worlds. Modded and slightly boosted rates will serve well casual players without lots of hours for gaming.
