    Game looks and runs much smoother than what it was in 2018. The use of lighting and textures in Unreal Engine 4 is astounding. The game is still running in 30fps so it's not really anything to be wow about but the improvements they did over the original really makes the experience much more enjoyable. For those that got the original game will get this as a free update but those new to ARKGame looks and runs much smoother than what it was in 2018.

    Los desarrollados lograron hacer un trabajo fenomenal, la verdad que quedó muy contento con los resultados, las texturas, la resolución y algunos modelos fueron rediseñados y mejorados, las zonas más problemáticas como los bosques ahora son una gozada de ver. En general ark en switch es más jugable y disfrutable

    Runs well after update. It’s good to finally be able to play without the crashes all the time.

    ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition still isn’t a game for everyone, but at least now it can be said it’s a game that some people might enjoy.

    Surprisingly, the online play works well, and it is cool to have a portable version of ARK for playing on the go. But would I recommend it on Nintendo Switch? $49.99 is…pricey for the quality. It’s worth it if you have no other way to play ARK, but only if it goes on sale. ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition itself is a very good, if not great, game, but this port is more mediocre than the best it can be. While I like playing it on Switch as an existing fan, I’m not sure I would if I was new to the game.

    An optimized and more complete version of the acclaimed dinosaur survival game, ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition takes us to a series of fantastic but deadly worlds, from prehistoric jungles to interstellar gardens. Released primarily for the Nintendo Switch, this is an edition the console was missing after the original version's troubled release on the console back in 2018.
