I've played ARK: Survival Evolved since it's pre-release and it's a great game in so many ways, to briefly sum it up - not only are the graphics awesome, there is also a great progression system in the game which allows you to learn new engrams / skills, craft items, weapons and build so many different things to help your battle with survival. You can explore caves, oceans, forests, swamps, mountains and much more and also tame creatures to help you throughout the game, the changes in weather vary depending on where in the world you go, which makes it very fun and challenging. There is a good Tribe system which is great for playing with friends / group / clan members and I always enjoyed the different events the game offered such as Fear Evolved and Winter Wonderland. The game also offers single player mode and you can play competitive PvP in Multiplayer, or simply against the environment in PvE depending on your preference. If you like survival games with a difference, and the ability to progress and take on new challenges then I would definitely recommend this game, ARK: Survival Evolved is the best survival game I have played to date.

The DLC expansions are all worth it and have their own unique features and characteristics, bringing even more to the story and the journey for the explorer.

- Played since pre-release in 2015 and I've seen all the new content come in over the years, and I'm still playing now at the time of this update (2021)!

- I'm still playing this at the end of 2023. I've enjoyed the story that's been brought to the game over the last several years and the evolution of the characters and dialogue. The added voice overs are a great addition and give the story an extra spark of life. All the DLC's are unique and incredibly detailed and the latest creatures keep making things interesting :)

This game is so much fun. Even though the objective is always the same (survival). The addition of the killing floor Objective Mode just added to the charm of the game, giving us tasks and objectives to complete as per the modes description. What i like about the game is it never gets boring, the DLC is great, and the demands on the PC are low which is useful to those with lower end PC's who struggle to keep up with modern games, i honestly think this is one of the best FPS games to date, and for those of you don't like peer to peer competitive, then this is the game for you! All the fun of FPS, without the competitive nature of the game, just pure Co-Op, team orientated survival. So many achievements to get, lots of levels to be played, and so much fun to be had! - And you can play solo too.

I would recommend this game to all players whether you are competitive or not!
