    Even with its initial lack of performance (which improved with the passing of updates), I think it is one of the best Survivals ever created.
    You can play PVP, PVE and even change the whole experience with the use of Mods.
    Unlimited hours of fun (That it is in the Top 1 of my most played games on Steam proves it).

    Indo direto ao ponto: o jogo é bugado, principalmente no coop, mas isso não faz ele não ser divertido. A comunidade é bacana, os servidores não oficiais são bons (exceto no quesito conexão, quero dizer na experiência no geral) e a gameplay, mesmo que seja repetitiva, não chega a ser maçante. Com amigos vale a pena, sozinho não sei dizer.

    The number of different dinosaurs is amazing.
    There are different maps to explore

    What hurts this game is the optimization. Single player is fine, but multiplayer, especially if you dont buy a server hurts a lot. Tether distance is something that should have never existed in the game, and all players getting pulled to someone just because they flew over or entered a cave "forces" you to buy a server or play online with friends. Unfortunately that is where things go downhill because there is currently a lot of controversy against the devs closing down servers, and even banning a lot of players. The game also still suffers from bugs that have existed for years and havent been fixed either because they cant or just choose not to.

    If you love dinosaurs, and breeding and raising them, building bases and what not, and are looking to play solo, pick this up. If you're ok with playing this online, and logging in one day to potentially everything just not being there it still might work for you, otherwise i'd probably wait a few years, and see if Ark2 fixes anything.    … Expand

Cabe destacar que la música es bastante buena y adecuada en cada contexto y situación en la que suena, y el lore que tiene es interesante. Por último debo recomendar, habiendo jugado los modos offline y online del juego, que este juego se juegue mejor online y a ser posible con amigos, ya que hace del ARK una experiencia realmente alucinante. 7,9/10

    Ark is a fantastic game. Yes it has many bugs and glitches, but everything else makes it so much better, and makes handling the bugs worth it. From the extremely active community that are constantly pumping out amazing mods, to the sheer amount of content, and the surprising amount of story and lore, I recommend trying Ark: Survival Evolved out!

    Boring, repetitive and pointless in my opinion.

    Ark: Survival Evolved is one of those sandbox games like The Forest, Atlas and Conan Exiles. While the concept of these games are fine and the survival element is surely present, it gets boring and repetitive really fast in my opinion.

    In Ark: Survival Evolved, you start as an empty character without any skills. You collect stuff, build stuff and kill stuff to gather XP, level up, unlock perks and new skills and overall, just to be granted the right to do more advanced things in the game like tame a certain dinosaur or build a specific plank or wooden corner. Just go out into the wild and grind your way up.

    The graphics are fair, although a little rough in my opinion. The lighting effects from the sun are great though. The animations of characters are stiff and lifeless, especially when doing things like sleeping or mounting your dinosaur pet. The music and sounds are blend and nothing special. They work and that is what matters.

    But then, you got the controls and menu’s. My God, the overlay, GUI and skill tree system is so unbelievable confusing, it drove me mad sometimes. I constantly pressed the wrong keys to open or close menu’s, did not know where to find stuff, inventory management became a real chore sometimes, and I had the feeling that I was playing some sort of SQL database many times over. I sincerely did not like anything related to the controls or GUI.

    The servers and matchmaking system in Ark: Survival Evolved are terrible. Many times, servers did not show up, games with friends were not visible and many times, the game got stuck in loading. I needed to search the deepest pits of the internet for all kinds of tweaks, fixes, startup parameters and more to finally get it working. And even then, one day it works fine, the day after one of my friends experienced the same issues out of the blue. I reinstalled the game three times over the course of a few weeks back then, because that was the only way that I could play with my friends.

    The worlds are massive, which is normal for sandbox games like this. There are many forests, flowers, wildlife and rivers, which makes the game less hollow than Atlas, but it still feels blend and empty. You walk miles and miles through empty plains and forests before something of interest happens. Sure there are many dinosaurs in the vicinity, but most of the times, they one hit kill you so you avoid them like the plague. And although this is not necessarily bad, it was just tedious to walk and walk to a certain spot, knowing that every step could be your last. Sometimes, I got attacked by something that I did not even saw coming. One step was fine, the next I was dead. It was later revealed that this were some sort of very fast, tiny dinosaurs that ram and jump you when you get close. Maybe I am blind, but I still haven’t seen any of those motherf…. anywhere in the world.

    The main reason I don’t like this game is because it is just one of the many games that follows the exact same play style and mechanics that become repetitive and boring so quickly. Make a character, collect plant fibers, build a tiny shack, level up, get more stuff, kill some dinosaurs (if they don’t kill you first), tame them, ride them and done. Although there is some kind of endgame by defeating or taming some almighty dinosaur, the game never really ends.

    You can grind away until you become max level and tame all the dinosaurs in the world, but with this game, the purpose of doing this dies after taming your first dinosaur. Things feel pointless and I had the constant feeling that I can never “complete” this game. The same goes for games like Minecraft and Atlas.

    Ark: Survival evolved can be tweaked in any way you like with mods or “legit” by server admin options, but that makes the game unstable sometimes and more importantly, it defeats even more purpose to play it. Don’t want to walk back to your corpse after dying? Just configure/tweak the game to keep all your stuff. Don’t want to walk? No problem, just activate flying. Your beloved dinosaur just died? No problem, bro; here I revived him for you. There are no clear rules, and everything can be avoided or made easier. Even when you play fair or vanilla, you constantly get the feeling that everything can be fixed or made easier later on when you encounter a difficult or tedious situation. There is no penalty and no consequence.

    It is weird, but for me, only 7 Days to Die gets this survival sandbox genre right and keeps the game interesting for long periods of time. With Ark: Survival Evolved, I got three hours of fun before being bored out of my mind and I could not force myself to play it any longer.

    Of course, this is still my own experience and opinion with the game, but personally I cannot recommend Ark: Survival Evolved.    … Expand

    150,000 hours on record, best survival game in existence. Very fun to play with friends, not laggy at all, no glitches. Adam anderson is the best dino in the game, if you disagree i will throw you in the ocean.

    This game is so average. It has a good variations of dinosaurs and other stuff but the animations are complete trash. (I am really
    unbiased, even I criticize the game I still have 1.800 hours of it. And a huge collection of mods.) It wants money for many DLC's but not all of them, still if you want even more epic maps and dinosaurs, go buy the game from steam and check out the workshop.    This game is so average.

    Honestly, Ark IS an underrated and sometimes underappreciated game. All the time you'll hear people laughing about what a mess Ark was yet you know those people never got the full experience or understand just how much nuance/depth and content really exists in this game. These are the same people who complain that the MMOs they're playing no longer require any communication - that players show up, kill a boss, and no one says a word and that there doesn't feel like there's meaning to anything anymore because of that. Yet, Ark is one of those games that makes the tribe and its ability to coordinate and work together one of the most powerful things you can have. I've never played a game that brought me so close to other players and that, to me, makes Ark a great game    … Expand

    It's a game. It exists. And that's how I feel when I'm playing it. I'm just kind of existing in the world populated by dinosaurs.

Did they think it was fun to poke a dinosaur 20x until it dies? Or shoot 20 arrows at a charging animal while running from it? Even dinosaurs well below your level will take 5-10 hits and there's really no variety to the action.
    The mining system is designed so that you are constantly acquiring stuff you don't need to mine for one thing you DO need. Like "metal." One generic metal in the game that you acquire through RNG through mining other rock. But you seem to have a better chance if you use a pick, so you will get hundreds and hundreds of extra flint while looking for metal that I ended up throwing away. Who thought this was a good idea? Why no designated "metal" veins in the world? When flint it onyl useful for a couple crafting recipes why not make it a much rarer pick up?
    Taming dinosaurs might have been fun but if you tame anything below level 25 it is useless. As a mount it can't even carry you without it's movement speed dropping to a crawl.
    I played only the single player campaign and my character wakes up on the beach... and that's it. No story, no NPCs to tell you what to do.
    After building an expensive small house and training some slow mounts, I think I've done everything of interest in this game. And if there is something more interesting to do., the game wasn't good enough to steer me in the right direction. Glad I got it for free on Steam and didn't pay a cent.    … Expand

    I love building, exploring, discovering, taming and breeding dinosaurs. The details and variety of dinosaurs is amazing and how each of them offers something to help you out. Such as brontosaurus is very good for berry gathering and is good to take with you as they can carry so much. I've only played single player.

Such as brontosaurus is very good for berry gathering and is good to take with you as they can carry so much. I've only played single player.

    I like the primitive style game play and dislike tek and how you can eventually use electricity.

    Though this game is not suitable for those who expect a game to tell you what to do and where to go, the freedom it offers is good. It does get quite boring there ends up not much to do besides breeding dinosaurs to eventually fight bosses. There is no NPC's or quests and the only way to get the story is through the notes you find in the world. I just feel bored and don't feel there is enough variety in what you can do in single player.

    This game needs a good PC to be able to play, but even so it is poorly optimised and takes up a lot of space. I always make sure my drivers are up to date so wondered why I was all of a sudden getting a freeze with fatal error report. I verified files and it said 2 files were missing and they were being restored. I have no idea what would of caused that and after that the game is running fine again. This game is really annoying it occasionally has errors and ends up with missing files. You often have to spend time verifying files. And also have problem where the sound cuts out completely even though the sound still works when testing a you tube video and then have to verify files which then says 2 files are missing.
    I found the problem was that my power supply was dying and finally carked it.

    So far since playing Ark I've had to buy a new SSD and get and power supply.

    Since being poorly optimised it makes your PC work very hard it may make your PC components die quicker. So play at your own risk.
    Ark is now free which they could at least offer the DLC at 50% off for current owners. Genesis is still only 34% off.

    The game is fun but also frustrating with all the problems it seems to have.
    I have mixed feelings about the game I love it but also hate it and not sure it's worth recommending as a game should not be so problematic.    … Expand

It's a bit laggy, you should have a good PC to run at Low/Medium settings, and it have a lot of bugs, but the amount of content you have on this game, is unbelievable, 8+ maps to play (half is DLC, but worth the money) and, if that's not enough, you can also play on servers, which are a bit stressful for some

    Excellent!! The main reason why people tend to hate the game is because the lazy devs that control it. In reality the game is great in terms if graphics, design, soundtrack, and even spawned good DLC.

    The best Video Game I have ever played! The graphics are superb, and taming and breeding dinosaurs is a very fun concept!

    A wonderful Video Game, great graphics, cool dinosaurs, nice soundtrack it's what every game should have! The fact that this has a 5.9 just blows me away the game deserves at least an 8/10.

    It is a good game from the entertainment point of view, but if the screen sticks when you close it and waiting even more than half an hour takes away points but what matters is having fun and one of its bad points is that it is very boring to play no friends and the mode is just boring period but if you play it with friends it is the best adventure game

    I bought ARK+Scorched Earth Expansion for a bargain (10€ each) during EA, the current final release price is ridiculous.

I had a lot of fun with the game so far - BUT that´s because I decided early to host and administer my own private server, playing with a bunch of people I know and trust. There are some technical problems with this game, such as disappearing items and dinos, resetting characters, missing skills and stuff. If I played on an official server, I had to live with that, but since I was my own boss with my own server I could always execute some console commands to let dinos and items reappear or level up some character again which was mysteriously lost in oblivion before. I fully understand all those negative reviewers here, according to the official servers and the developer´s ignorance. If you want to play this game: Basically it´s worth it, but don´t even consider playing on official servers and start your own one, alternatively find some good unofficial server hosted by a good private community.

    It´s a solid game, buy when it´s on sale.    … Expand

    Creo que voy a ser el único comentario en español XD, considero que ark es el mejor juego que eh jugado y arreglaron muchos errores y mejoraron la optimización y tiene una gran variedad de dinosaurios y posibilidades.

Even after you try hurry and log back on to see if you and your favorite tame are still alive. It wont let you log on for min. 6 mins. Hey what about when your stuff just disappears for no reason.

    This is literally the worst game you could ever purchase.
    Developed by a greedy ass company whos developer got no idea about what they are doing.
    This game was solely made to make the most profit with the least effort.
    Like seriously a sabertooth spawns behind me kills my argentavis while taming for no reason.
    Appeared out of nowhere, this game deservs to be ranked the worst game ever.

    Piękna gra a zwłaszcza do gry z przyjaciółmi. Lepsze od minecrafta pod względem realizmu (jest go mało ale na pewno więcej niż w minecrafcie) nie mówię że minecraft powinien być realistyczny ale mówię tu o np. krwawieniu lub złamanej kości. Polecam gorąco

    The beginning is really fun but after a while you will notice, that this game has many issues, that make it unplayable for me.

    Recommended game and whoever says that the game is not worth it means that the player has not passed the Ark 100 percent if you like adventure games and dinosaurs this is your game do not trust the opinion of others if you play it and you like it you have discovered a game that you like without anyone telling you otherwise

    Very good game, the only thing would be the optimization issue, but that does not mean that the game is fun in its entirety and more with friends

    Honestly,if you do not have more than 3-5 friends to play this game with or don't have the time to find a non-toxic tribe in your server,just do not play this game.Singleplayer gets boring after some time because its way too grindy .Its not like minecraft here ypu can cure your boredom all alone without anyone to play with.

    Specialises in trick shots before mastering the fundamentals. Deeply flawed, but hard to ignore. [Issue#267, p.58]

    Like so many survival/crafting games, from Minecraft to Subnautica, ARK presupposes a player with a lot of time to dedicate to the experience, a high tolerance for repetition, and a fondness for chaos and the unexpected. With its sci-fi inflected single player campaign, ARK at least offers a solo player the chance to get the gist of the game without the threat of anti-social humans ruining whatever progress has been made. For the past two years, ARK has been helping to shape the genre and now that it's finished, it feels like the genre is due for the next stage of evolution.

    It'll delight you, it'll make you despair, but ultimately Ark will leave you with a real sense of satisfaction. [Nov 2017, p.76]
