If you want a "biggest bang for your buck" game you have come to the right place.

Thus far I have put over 1,000 hours into ARK and I can't see myself stopping anytime soon. I have played the main Island map, Scorched Earth, The Center map and the absolutely stunning Ragnarok Map. I love this game so much!

ARK has it's flaws with many glitches but nothing that makes the game unplayable. I play on private PVE servers with a group of friends which has been a blast! The main issue that I have had with the game up to release is that it isn't really that great right out of the box. You have to do a lot of tweaking of settings and add a number of mods to fix a lot of things to make the game more playable. (for example, we changed the taming speed to 3x because we are adults with jobs and don't have time to spend half the day taming one dino)

Still, I can say without a doubt this game is amazing for being early access. I've purchased $60 finished games that had a fraction of the game play value compared to ARK.

In addition, this game has an amazing selection of mods that are well supported and updated frequently. As a long time Stargate fan, the Stargate Atlantis mod is among my favorite!

I'm now 5,908 hours in and this is my number one favorite game of all time. Can't wait to see what's in store for us in ARK II.
