As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK, you must hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements. Use your cunning and resources to kill or tame the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land, and team up with or prey on hundreds of other players to survive, dominate… and escape!
The game has had massive positive feedback from their fans. They released more patches in a week than DayZ did in 18 months. The devs listen to the players. The game is still a little unomptimised; I get 30-40FPS on High with my 980Ti Superclocked. The game is well worth it.
Isn't it funny we live in an age where $30 for an unfinished, unoptimized alpha build of an unreleased game is a "bargain".
