If you haven't played Ark before, I don't think you'll be disappointed when picking it up now. For fans of the original like myself, the biggest downside about Ark: Survival Ascended may be that buying this game is basically becoming a required investment if you want to keep enjoying Ark. Because as I understand it, Studio Wildcard is working actively to phase out the original game, having already shut down its official servers. This leaves players with no option but to upgrade. However, after overcoming the hurdle of paying again for a rework, there's not much holding you back from enjoying a prettier and better version of an already highly likeable game.
ARK: Survival Ascend is the feeling of the familiar, wrapped in improvements. The implementations added to the game significantly improve the gameplay experience, in addition to a wide range of content that has been added for the console version. It's the chance for old and new players to immerse themselves in a challenging, unique survival experience whose potential can be seen to be in constant progression.

ARK: Survival Ascended leverages the Unreal Engine 5 to deliver improved textures and functionalities, notably excelling in the realistic depiction of animals and landscapes. However, it contends with performance challenges that may affect the overall survival gameplay experience.
Good game, but it's still in his beginning. But if it's going to get better, the rating will probably get higher.

From Evolved to Ascended we needed to see a hugeimprovements in all aspects from graphics to gameplay and AI. Understanding it's still quite early, but so far it has been a good run. There has been many good upgrades to ARK, from graphics to new Dino AI, they don't feel completely mindless creatures running around.
With the addition to the community mods makes the game easily more enjoyable.
The largest falt so far is framerate, with no option to set it to performance, many areas it just drags and loses appeal. I'm sure in future updates it will get better.

Its good, it is still Ark. But it suffers from the same decade old bugs. Dinosaur attack animations and clipping are still garbage that will never be fixed.

Huge step down from survival evolved. They should just release 2 already. Essentially game does nothing to advance the great formula of survival evolved. Now cautiously optimistic for 2.

New features and much better graphics, however a lot of the same old issues as the last one. Don't get me wrong it's worth playing like a second job, but random dinos getting despawned and game crashes that make you drown while losing your favorite gear are morale crushing. I just wish they had done a little more than just adding a little glitter on an old product.
