Summary

Ark: Survival Evolved takes on the survival genre with a unique blend of emergent multiplayer cooperation and competition. Players awake naked and starving on the beach of a mysterious island among a herd of other confused humans. On ARK, they must then hunt, harvest, craft, research technology, and build shelters to protect against scorching days, freezing nights, volatile weather systems, dangerous wildlife, and potential enemies. Use cunning strategy and tactics to tame and ride the many dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the dynamic, persistent ecosystems across land, sea, air, and even underground. Build your character’s strengths and gain items, skills, and pet creatures using in-depth role-playing systems. Start a tribe with hundreds of other players to survive and dominate competing tribes...and ultimately discover the ARK’s true purpose.

Simultaneously the most addicting game I've ever played while also having an endless number of flaws. I've put 100+ hours into it and still haven't attempted a single boss, but that's also just me trying to be overprepared.

This game had potential to be one of my favorite but the bugs and lack of interest from the devs to optimize the game made me stop playing it. Dinosaur survival is awesome but you will need a computer from NASA and a separate hard drive just for this game.
