Coming from 7 Days To Die, me and a few friends thought we should give ARK a try. I've been playing this for about 180 hours now and today I really asked myself, why in the world I still play this time-vampire of a game. The progression is unbelievably slow and the whole gameplay feels extremely unrewarding. It's basically a simulation in which you build and fight your way through a world of dinosaurs which take AGES to tame. That's about it. Time definitely better invested into unrepetitive, rewarding gameplay with a story and somekind of meaning or games that involve challenges other than not to fall asleep mining tons of resources. Another one for the "beautiful but boring" bin.
