I remember seeing the trailer for this game and the hype it had when it was first announced and most of my friends wanted to play this game. I never played the Beta but I purchased this game against my better judgement because friends were playing it. I did enjoy the game and I have never played WOW or any game in that genre. I would personally hold off on buying this game for atleast a year or longer because its littered with exploits, duplication glitches, and farming bots. The most recent update broke the servers you weren't able to play Outpost Rush or even wars or invasions because it looked like everyone was standing still. From my personal experience this game has a lot of ups and downs it is enjoyable short term and the PVE Content was enjoyable but the PVP content is by far the worst possible experience ive ever had... I know I have over 300 hours but what you dont see is the first 2 hours I considered refunding the game but didnt because of friends and I struggled through the growing pains and then requested a refund a week later and was denied. Hopefully the developers do right by the community and continue updating the game but in its current state I would highly advise against buying the game.

Overall I enjoyed the story line and experience, but personally I was let down by the lack of customization and story arches based off decisions made and how both character endings are exactly identical with no subtle differences... Hopefully in the near future CD Project will fix or address most of the game breaking bugs and AI issues.

If you are interested in creating video games, or just want to see the behind the scenes. Then you will enjoy playing the interactive tutorials. They are fun and interesting. Code Monkey has some amazing videos on his Youtube channel as well. I have watched a lot of them. He is a good teacher and his visual examples always help me understand complex tutorials.

Thank you Code Monkey for creating this to help the community.

I was gifted this game in January I played this game a fair amount because I owned Ark previously and had a lot of fun times and spent many hours playing Ark but Atlas in my opinion is a blatant copy and paste for the majority of this game. The Dev's in my opinion will most likely stop development half way through when they get the game released on Consoles similar to what they did with Ark. I had high hopes for this game but was disappointed. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND BUYING THIS GAME UNTIL ITS AT LEAST 50% OFF. I hope the Dev's change their attitude about adding more and more content instead of focusing on major issues that have been present in Ark's code since day one. On a side note* This game is extremely slow and is more grindy and time consuming then Ark was in certain aspects which makes the game not enjoyable.

I had the game for less than 2 hours played it and if it wasnt so laggy and aboslutely PC proformance demanding I would have probably kept the game it has a interesting style but Ark, and Arma 3 are way better then this game by far. Not worth 30 dollars at all so I got a refund thankfully.

Ark Shaft-Me Evolved is a very addictive interactive survival dinosaur game that started as a very amazing fun game then evolved into Shaft-Me Evolved.

These are just some of the Pro’s & Con’s I can think of off the top of my head… I don’t want to seem completely bias of this game it is by far one of the only games I’ve ever played that I’ve spent over 2500 hours playing. The game for the most part is very exciting and adventurous but recently since Cross Ark was reopened into the official servers it has made it a massive “Chore” Ark or any survival game should not feel like a burden to play because it loses its fun factor. I would say the main thing I enjoy about this game is as a new player its not easy and once you become more advanced the game progressively gets easier but the dev’s have attempted to make it more challenging for long time players by adding Cross Ark Pvp which I like the idea but I very much hate the fact that Chinese Mega Tribes can wreak havoc to all your hard work in less than 4h. Tek Tier is a massive joke it is only there as a substitute for new content to bring in new players. I personally think if you purchase the game at this state you will not enjoy it as much until its released because you will struggle with all the pain and agonizing rollbacks and glitches the devs will not fix because they would rather pocket more and more money from there loyal consumers. Other than getting shafted every once in a while this is a good game in its core value. I have owned the game since August of 2016 and it is a good game but it has a love/hate situation you love the game because its interesting and addictive but you despise it because everything you work for at some point or the other will be eradicated by a dev, a rollback, a glitch, massive lag, or a Chinese invasion tribe with hacks.

What I enjoy about this game is that it is addictive and it offers a unique experience. The only flaw I ever had with this game is the massive skill gap, and the outrageos prices on skins. Other than that the game is pretty fun, and valve tries very hard to maintain a very good game with frequent updates and promotions.
