Early Access Review
ARK: Survival Evolved


To my gaming friends, and even those who are remotely interested in gaming, there is one game that is busy revolutionising the way games are designed and presented, and also the way they are played.

I have played most of the classics and am looking passionately forward to the masterpieces on the horizon.

However my perspective has now changed since playing Ark: Survival Evolved. An online, multiplayer, open world, survival, dinosaur themed, RPG, resource management, action, PC game (also slated for Xbox One and PS4 next year).

This is the best gaming experience I have ever had. It is not a perfect game, even besides it being in pre-alpha development state and on Steam Early Access. It is clunky at times and the glitches and bugs are obviously present.

All that being said, this is the epitome of gaming, where it has evolved into the best of what can currently be achieved in this medium. It is the game, Far Cry, Oblivion/Skyrim, Ultima, Quest For Glory, World of Warcraft, Guildwars, Everquest, Minecraft, Halo and Unreal tried to be but didn’t.

So far I have had this game for roughly a week and a half and have played it for approximately ninety hours and have only scratched the surface of what it has to offer.
If you have a relatively decent gaming PC and internet connection, a couple friends and a little spare time, then you have the potential to experience something incredible that no other medium or peer can offer.
