Ark: Survival Evolved user reviews

As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing & starving on a mysterious island, you must hunt, harvest, craft items, grow crops, & build shelters to survive. Use skill and cunning to kill or tame & ride the Dinosaurs & primeval creatures roaming the land, & team up with hundreds of players or play locally!

Users comments:


Highlights:



  • One of the best games in years and certainly the best survival game around (found in 4 reviews).
  • You can play Ark: Survival Evolved both as a single player game, as well as in multiplayer mode, either on public or privately hosted servers.
  • You can try to tame and ride dinosaurs.
  • Great private server options and a single player mode.
  • Great leveling system (found on 10 reviews).


Gameplay:


  • On your own is going to take a long time to make a study house and gather materials.
  • Crafting is very seamless, pretty much a basic system though, which works just fine for replayablity. Repairs are on the spot until you get better items then you'll use the Smithy. You can refine items so they won't break when you level higher (found on 12 reviews).
  • You'll get killed constantly, either by a player or by a dino.
  • It's easy to get killed by high level players while you're a newbie.
  • The community that is sheltered by official servers is incredibly toxic. If you don't have an "in" with one of the supertribes that belong to a server, you're probably going to get raided/killed in a few days (found in 4 reviews).
  • It's easier to play on PVE servers or a private server with friends (found on 6 reviews).


Issues:



  • The developers of ARK are constantly updating the game with patches to increase optimization and bugfixing. They're always adding new content.
  • Optimization is pretty bad which means you need a high end system to play (found on 4 reviews).
  • The company does not intend to wipe/reset the official servers, so superclans get richer, while scattered tribes and solo players get poorer.
  • The graphics are good, but the performance issues are huge (found on 12 reviews).
  • This lag isn't a problem on most local/private servers.


Recommended for:


  • If you like survival games.
  • If you like minecraft, Dayz and 7 Days to Die.
  • If you enjoy open world games, with highly realistic day/night cycle and temperature.
