More than upgrading tech and building homes and riding dinosaurs, this is the angry core of Ark: everything takes resources gathering resources takes time at any moment, death will destroy everything. It is incredibly stingy with resources, and it takes a lot of time out in the open, where death lurks around every corner, to farm up enough material to do anything. I can climb the biggest mountains, I can become a big game hunter, or I can tame my very own pterodactyl and take to the skies.Д«ut the ugly side of this freedom is Ark's environment itself.

Like many of the best PC games, Ark asks me to set goals for myself and be the author of my own stories. Whether I'm wearing a hat made out of grass or steel, my goals in Ark are essentially unlimited. Unlike many other survival games, Ark's exploration of technology goes all the way: that stone axe eventually leads to rocket propelled grenades, industrial forges, and forcefields. Basic tools help me get more trees and rocks, bootstrapping my way up through the history of human-made technology.
