I have a thousands of hours and can't recommend the game at this time. ARK will likely never leave early access, and most of the bugs that are very public a year ago are still in the game. Updates are merciless and unforgiving ruining hundreds-thousands of hours of work making a variety of dinosaurs people have lost time and sleep taming, breeding, imprinting practically useless. They sold dlc half the price of the game a year ago while in early access, still full of bugs, and with updates made playing on the dlc maps also pointless. Very little community interaction and a disregard for players quality of life means do not buy this game at this time. Maybe in several years this game won't be so painful to play.
