I cannot recommend Ark: Survival Evolved on release. It still feels way to far in early Access with absolutly zero otpimizations that they said they would do. There is still no DirectX 12 and a lot of the features I enjoyed are gone. Small changes to AI make them unpleasent to fight against, rubber banding and lag are still a major issue. I cannot find an official server with less then 70ms of ping.

The developers have constantly lied about their goals of this game and have focused on adding to much content too fast in early access without focusing at all on making sure the game is as optimized as can be. Even running a GTX 1080 with Ryzen CPU feels unbearable to play on.

Gameplay wise it is fun up to building stone structures and bases and taming, but then once tek tier the game loses all focus and becomes somethign Ark never was supposed to be.

I do not recommend untill it is more optimized, less buggy, and doesn't feel like it is still in Early Access
