ARK really advanced the survival video game genre. Stuff like being able to build and live on a raft fairly early on are one of the many fun features. However players have squatted all the starting areas on every server by claiming land by building pillars and literally walling off the rest of the virtual world from new players. It takes about 4-5 new charter creations on different servers to find a sever with a tiny slice of buildable land when just starting out. Lost is the feeling of waking up on a new world, more like waking up on the shores of an island overdeveloped by player condos. Conan Exiles, bugs and all, still retains that feel of being alone in the wild for the most part, by comparison to ARK.

I like how in-depth this game gets. I saw it through Neebs Gaming and knew what I was going to be up against when I purchased it. However, for the Xbox one version it is extremely glitchy and some of the textures do not load. I still enjoy playing it, but there needs to be an update or patch that can fix glitches that happen.

I've been searching for this game at a sale price for a month. My son wants it for Christmas. No other store had it cheaper than Best Buy.

Games fun and addictive but on official servers it's much better. There are Alpha tribe servers that on weekends swapto pvp and destroy pve players work in a troll move so only play pve servers if you want to win. I host on my 2nd Xbox for friends and family. Game can go quickly once you get a decent server. Nothing like having Dino to make harvest easier. Always be on the lookout for inactive players to loot thier Base and claim their Dino. My kiddos love Dinosaurs as well and loves it.

Fun game My kids love dinosaurs A little tedious to get started but the action really kicks in once you’ve learned the basics Great graphics and easy to get sucked in
