Honestly...i's Ark. If you like Ark Evolved, you will like Ark Ascended. It does take quite a beefy computer to run even at medium graphics though, though loading into the game initially seems to be a lot faster, even with mods. This round, I'm just hosting locally using this free app called ASA Dedicated Manager, that lets my husband and I play together without having to stay tethered. They did add some quality of life stuff, like a lot m more vanilla tracking options, but they seem to be pretty buggy so idk. As with Evolved, my husband and I pretty much exclusively play in the massive mod Ark Omega, which you can buy through the mod store for ASA for $10 (it is phenomenal and made by one single guy, definitely worth it). I'm about to get burnt out on ark again as I usually do though, so I probably won't come back until they release the ASA version of Aberration, my favorite ASE map.
