TLDR:
Awesome game and awesome remake from the first game. Same old bugs ark style.
I play on non-dedicated and the tether distance is only 180 meters at the moment which is a real let down.

Game is very early acces, so it's a bit empty - the basic of town upgrades are in so you can focus on that
the controls for running/gathering are nice but the combat a still a bit wonky
definitely has big potential to be a fun game to play with friends :)
developers seem to really listen to the community - so if you want a finished game this is not for you, do you want to be involved? go for it :D it's fun!

Very fun sim game, still a bit buggy but playing this since week after release
Love it!

Lots of fun hours with friends, prefer unoffial servers over the official ones.
