I don't normally write reviews for anything, but after seeing the bumped up price of ARK, I felt the need to. This game is NOT worth its new $59.99 pricetag, especially considering the game is nowhere near complete.The game NEVER looks nor runs like it does in trailers of any kind. While the time I've spent in the game has been mostly enjoyable, the bugs, poor optimization, and connectivity issues that are somewhat acceptable for an Early Access title do toll heavily on one's ability to even play the game as it is.

Though this is a negative review, I feel the need to have both pros and cons for those optimistic about purchasing the game.

Pros:
- Tameable/Rideable Dinosaurs
- Good Map Variety & Size
- Real-Time Weather & Day & Night Cycle
- Good Dinosaur Variety (Carnivores, Herbivores, and Omnivores; Land-Based, Flying, and Swimming)
- Balanced Leveling System
- Weapon Variety & Good Combat System
- Modable

Cons:
- Early Access (Tons of Bugs, Poor Optimization, Connection Issues, etc.)
- $59.99 Pricetag
- Low Server Capacity/Availability
- Constant Crashing Issues
- Little-to-No Mod Support
- Repetitive
- More Fun with Friends
- In-Game Server & Mod Downloads/Updates Take Forever

Take what you will from my review. I'm just disgusted at the new pricetag.
