My first character didn’t last too long before being murdered by an opportunistic bandit dinosaur, because apparently that’s a thing in this world. Oh, and did I mention that there’s Dinosaurs? Once sufficiently geared up you can capture and tame these beasts and populate your home base with all manner of prehistoric beasts.īefore too long I discovered that the Dinosaurs weren’t going to be my main concern during my time with ARK, however as is often the case, it can be your fellow players that pose the biggest threat. With little in the way of a tutorial or mission markers, I was dropped onto an island with nothing but my wits and scavenging abilities and tasked with surviving in a harsh and unforgiving environment.


ARK: Survival Evolved was probably the harshest introduction to a game that I’ve ever experienced.
