What players say
pretty shocked by all the hate this game is receiving. after many years the dev team is trying to breathe new life into the game. it's never been abandoned and thru the years they have continually added new creatures/cosmetics/blocks. now with this new dlc imo..it's even better. tons and tons of new creatures/weapons/npcs/quests. having over 1,000 hrs in Ark and 750+ in minecraft and vintage story i can say this...

it may look cool. but don't actually buy this. i was expecting like a cool combination between minecraft and ark survival evolved. instead i got an unplayable mess. turns out if you combine building mechanics from minecraft and ark. you get an unplayable mess. you have to place floors before you can place any other blocks. and then the wall blocks just kinda suck. and the ceiling block sucks cause its just the same...
