Game is scary realistic, has some bugs but its made by 2 people and couldn't be any more perfect.
Just lacks more content but this game is definitely a break in the gaming barrier in terms of graphic quality and mechanics to imitate 1st person shooters.
100% recommend

I am BAM the Ark Youtuber and ive established over 30k hours playing this game, my hours arent the most on Steam due to them spread out across all other platforms
I have played Ark on Steam, Xbox, PS4 and even Windows to get those hours so I know the entire community and what I will say is the game is fun but the way its handled its not. If you want a chance on getting banned due to Admin abuse because of the publisher snail games that controls Wildcard then by all means waste your money on buying this game which wont mean anything since Official servers are wiping and they dont want to warn, this game is a joke, the devs lie and you will never see a positive change till years later.
The day Ark decides to make a proper change is when we see GTA 7.
Do not buy this game, full of abuse.

Story:
Snail Games has a tribe named TEA that plays on the servers, if you go against them they will ddos their servers, take them down, admin abuse, have cheaters attack you and then global ban you if they can't win.. I wish I could make this up but it gets worse than that, trust me on this, do not buy.

It is a game that has had a very rough start which is why you see many negative reviews about it.
Whether it was the consistent ETA Delays
Slow servers to start up
255 Ping when joining servers and watching animals fly area
Spawn in the mesh
etc.
This game is STILL being in the works, the devs are fixing a lot of these issues that people have been complaining about and they are listening. So far the game runs better and their is no bad ping. It is a perfect experience and people who are making negative reviews about it have obviously never experienced Ark Survival Evolved.
I have over 15k Hours to my belt on Ark and now adding Atlas I must say it is doing better, This isn't a easy layout.. This is an amazing experience.. Each grid has 150 players and their are 15x15 Grids making over 40k players. The Ocean is the most realistic thing I have ever seen in comparison to Ark or any game for that matter and you can have many pirate ships.
Think of Sea Of Theives with more things to do and better graphics with MORE people and a funner experience.
You don't spawn on a Galleon like sea of theives.. You have to MAKE IT.. Piece by piece.
Overall good game and its already got me hooked where I stopped playing ark.
Well done.
Their are some glitches but they are being fixed and they are giving out info.
Do I recommend this game? YES
$25 is all it costed and the price will most likely go up soon so you best get it as soon as you can before you its too late.

A very fun game where you and your friends can decide to have fun and do awesome things together! Not to mention the inventions you can make as well!

One of the best games that can be a bit addicting! The only issue with this game is the hackers and Garry Newman failing to updating the game. That's why there is another game coming out that he just made called Experimental Rust. Good graphics but I hope I can get used to the whole concept of the game and what not to the new UI (User Interface) Hud and what not.

The only thing that makes me upset is that it is generated and it's easy to get lost. Yes you can use your things around you to help you but like I said it is a random generated map! So you would need to know the map before anything and that is a huge problem! I wanted vehicles to be added in the game and hopefully it happens...

Only time will tell! You can keep updated for the latest info on the new developing rust coming soon. Possibly will be fully developed and ready to fully play in September... I just wish there was so much more for this game! If they added a 3rd party anti cheat into the game then there probably wouldn't be hackers! I mean Garry made a fortune from the develope this game and made a lot more then what he made with GMOD!
I would give this game a 10/10. If it had better anti cheat.
But honestly the rate would be a 9/10 (Your hours will go by with this game but your fun gets ruined by douche's)
The new rust coming out... I would give it a 7/10 by far considering there are still bugs.
For $20 it is a worth to buy though.
Buy at your own Risk :)
