As good as I remembered cause those memories are bright in my mind and this remaster is as bright as I could imagine. A little glitch of standing on the horse when I mount the horse for a second but other than that - running smooth. Like seeing an old friend for the first time in years and you pick up right where you left off and the years melt away. Brilliantly done. Couldn't be happier. Back to Oblivion I go!

This is Ark. A sandbox or a survival game or a complete the quests game or a breeding game or a building game or any combination you want. Too hard? Lower the difficulty. Too easy? Same thing but in reverse. You can play alone or with others. It's all up to you. I find myself enjoying it despite the usual complainers complaining. It's been optimized a lot since it came out and they keep adding to it. What more could you want? And if you want more you can always build your own game, after all it must be very easy if you've got yourself a list of complaints.

You can play from the easy 'story mode' to way too hard. You have nice organization of quests and tasks unlike lots of games like this. You have great narration, great story, a point of view, ideas to think about. A great game. Replayable. Fun. The updates work well, everything is organized and makes sense. Hope the next game is as well put together.

This is Animal Crossing with Disney characters. It's a nice low key farming and mining and collecting game with a gentle vibe and beautiful characters and colorful backgrounds and your favorite characters who speak. Game isn't done yet but it's way more put together than a lot of games that are supposed to be done. If you like Animal Crossing, and that sort of game this is a game you want. I haven't seen a male streamer who wasn't wearing a princess outfit yet so you know, let your inner Princess out. It's a single person game so far and you'll be able to let your freak flag fly. Or you know, at least wear a Tiara.

A nice Animal Crossing style game but with much more. Not as pretty, the sounds are not as nice but it's here on the PC and you can play it and it's not even done. Lot of gathering and recipes and crafting and layers upon layers of that. I would say that this game is in desperate need of a pause button or even a save and exit button because right now you have to get through a day's work to save and then you are able to save and exit. Good stuff.

It's a beautiful game so far. The new stuff is a bit like some of the GTA mini games which is fine. And the glitches to find new lore about the game are well done. I enjoy the ability to hop between biomes and the differences in them which makes for a different solutions and different issues. Sort of like a 'game' right?! All good. I don't appreciate the inability to fly as the solutions for getting around aren't as easy to deal with for me. I like hopping on a bird, not hopping on something that climbs and hops but that's just me. If you like Ark already and like new challenges then you'll love this game.

My definition of a great game is one that makes you stay up too late playing. This game does that, you just want to achieve one thing, craft one more upgrade. Building, crafting, fighting off angry Jellies, bulls, grumpy old codgers - all good once you've figured things out a bit. I appreciate the 'game over' of losing your last life but being able to pick up where you left off. I'd rather not be punished and sent back to the beginning of a game, that's one way to make sure I stop playing your game. So, ten out of ten. Fun. Colorful. Worth the money.

Life is too short to spend it hanging around a unfinished, broken game while the developers decide if they want to put storage, crafting and playability. If you like to be annoyed, dismayed and a beta tester that you paid for the priviledge of being then this game is for you.

Have you ever bought a game and found the tutorials indecipherable? Have you ever sat in the space ship of a game and been unable to aim, move or otherwise figure things out? Well if you haven't found a game that does that then this is the game for you! Often times I've entered into a new game unfamiliar with the controls, there is a learning curve. I understand that. Figuring out ARK, GTA, Emperium and pretty much any game has controls to learn and goals to be discovered. That's cool, sometimes frustrating but cool. Not this game, for me it's an impenetrable morass. Going to the usual sources such as the internet and Youtube for tutorials has been less than helpful. Your milage may differ.

This is a beautiful and unexpected expansion that has given me a completely different game to play and explore. I appreciate it being seperate from the base game and doesn't require me to give up my save games in other parts of the game. Ten out of ten and I will buy the next expansion. If you want a harder game with different survival issues this is for you.
