My favourite game. I have played ARK: Survival Evolved since day 1, it's been a very mad few years but I wouldn't have it any other way. ARK players are and will always be a different breed as no other game can beat you up like this and still keep you playing. The remake of this game will NEVER beat the original game, it has nice graphics and a handful of QoL bits, but it will never stand up to what ARK: Survival Evolved is, was, and will always be... The best Dino survival game EVER created!
