While a fun game to play. Do not buy this version as it is being abandoned and official servers are being shutdown in a few months, If you are interested just wait until the remaster is released. Single player is playable but not really well balanced for that.(without mods) Really should put a disclaimer on the store page for this info.

"With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will sunset all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved – at that time, the final save-datas from the ARK: Survival Evolved Official Servers will be uploaded for players to re-host on their own servers or play in singleplayer/non-dedi, as well as slightly earlier snapshots.

You will still be able to play on single-player, non-dedicated, player-dedicated, and unofficial servers. "

WildCard announced that there would be no bundling of ASA with ARK 2 and DLCs won't be sold separately. Upgraded game with DLCs included will be $60.

Although servers will still be going down (Lets face it an official server wipe of some kind has been needed in someway for years) and the upgrade is paid, this is a compromise I personally can live with.
