I originally made this review ages ago litteral years and in that time ive played a lot more of this game. People might give it the "AHH ♥♥♥♥ GAME" because they play on an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ server build up a bit and than instantly get their base wiped by some "big boys" in a alpha tribe. Yea ♥♥♥♥ happens. Just dont let stuff like that get to you. I'm not saying this is a perfect game. There are plenty of bugs and issues with certain mechanics but all in all its an amazing game.

At first this game was like any other multiplayer pvp survival game but it quickly built an amazing and very deep rooted story around its maps and creatures. This game has held it own and i hear a lot of people saying stuff like "Rust is so much better than this" and you know what i have to say to them. Does rust have dinosaurs and the answer is no obviously. as well if you are leaving ark for rust because you got wiped on some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pvp server than trust me rust will not be the place for you.

I love survival games like this and i love the variation in all the maps they add. Survival games to me are about the map and whats around and how the map feels the creatures on the map and the players as well. When a map is full of stuff to do and there is always something to strive for than that makes a survival game fun. Take Conan for example its an amazing survival game (much better than rust) and there is tons of stuff to do in that game. Behind ark conan would be my second favorite survival game. you might ask where rust is on that list of survival games i love to play, well let me tell ya its very very low.

This game isn't for everyone but it does have many different ways to play while it only looks like 2 because its PvP and PvE. you see this game isnt like a trash game that i wont mention anymore it actually has very good building mechanics and you can build amazing looking structures and bases for everyone else to be in aw of. I mean some people are just trash at building nice structures but you can always give it a shot.

With all of this in I will now start to talk about the mods and holy ♥♥♥♥ do these mods slap. the modding community on this game is amazing now classics like the mod Extinction Core and Annunaki Genesis might not be updated anymore (still recomend playing them they are amazing) there are tons of mods that change the game into amazing worlds mods like Structures Plus that make building so much better and adds thousands of new building items to make even better buildings.

As you can see i bought this game in Early Access i have every single DLC and even the new season pass Ark Genesis. I play this game all the time i truely love this game and until they make a new one. and as long as they keep updating this one. i will never stop playing this game. NOW Wildcard Studios might not be the BEST at updates but they have made an amazing game and do listen to the community on what is wrong with the game.

Truely i recommend this game to anyone who loves survival games, a bit of boss fights, PvP, PvE, loves Dinosaurs, and are just really curious on how the game looks and runs. (as well they have this battle royal thing that comes with the game not very good but i mean its free so whatever).

Edit: Its still good but still meh id say (added after 3k hour point)
