    Love the x-type dinos, but never seen that bad performance on official servers. I came from crystal Isles which runs smooth but the genesis? server keeps teleporting me back, dinosaurs also teleporting all around cant finish dodoball due to crazy input lag for me unplayable in multiplayer.

    Do not buy this. This dlc comes across as though someone sat down, asked for all the most obnoxious ideas for a new dlc for ark, then added them all in the genesis expansion. This expansion is so garbage, it makes garbage look good. And anyone who reviews this and gives it a 10.. well, you can guess my review of their reviews. Do not buy Genesis.. get Ark, get all the expansions, doDo not buy this.

    So let’s begin with this, you are forced to download the dlc even if you don’t want to play on the map or even buy the dlc in the first place.. plus when it first came out it’s around 50gig add the constant updates because it’s so poorly made your looking around 100gig in total. Then there’s the map size which really is pathetic ok you have 4 worlds to travel but they are so small it’sSo let’s begin with this, you are forced to download the dlc even if you don’t want to play on the map or even buy the dlc in the first place.. plus when it first came out it’s around 50gig add the constant updates because it’s so poorly made your looking around 100gig in total. Then there’s the map size which really is pathetic ok you have 4 worlds to travel but they are so small it’s pointless, also the price of this dlc for what you get is a total rip off you also have a hand full of new dinosaurs and that’s about it

    Pretty much sums up this atrocious dlc do not buy it just play the free maps which are totally better!    … Expand

    Complete and utter garbage was genesis 1 and with how wildcard usually is they wont give a damn and will make the second just as bad if not worse then the first.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's cool because you get currency in the game upon mission completion so it's something new, but the map is the most difficult map they've made and it destroys the review because you cant build anything without dying by a swarm of insects or the massive amount of aggressive dinosaurs in the game… Expand

    Long time Ark player on official pvp. This expansion is everything we didn't want.

    Funny that they haven't yet released the expansion of ARK in Steam. It looks like it's going to be the third time on the roll.

    I loved the other DLC but this... Random porting on death. Die in secs after respawn. Bugged new dinos that you cant tame (Turtle) Bios that are walled off that breaks the feel of the world. Drop in fps for no reason. This has a weird wannabe party feel quest system that feelslike EA made it. All wr are missing is loot boxes to put the nail in this puppy.

    its a fresh new experience with a lot of new mechanics and new ways to tame creatures. definitely worthy of a good reputation.

    After at least 15 Hours of Playing the new Expansion, I realized a lot of new content in the Game as expected and read about it.
    Wildcard itself seemed to fulfill almost everything they promised so far.
    9/10 Score only because they could still improve a bit the Graphics / Performance,
    otherwise an absolute great Game, perhaps even the best they released so far.

    Not a good DLC but not bad either, the missions are a complete wreck that ruin your immersion in the original games, but the graphics are really amazing and are a huge step-up from the other 4 incarnations so I give this game a 5/10.

    If you play this game and for some reason your on a server with the Guild TEA, your going to get Ban from the game if you and your guild member manage to overpower them.

    I will admit the game is a downgrade when compared to the three past DLC'S, but it's still enjoyable enough...

    A severe let-down for me. Both parts to this DLC without a doubt suck! The glitches have somehow became more noticeable, the mechanics are stupid. An our AI's voice is just cringeworthy.
