Sometimes you want to spice up the game with something new and interesting. Of course, the fun of the base game may eventually grow stale and familiar. but it's still a game that the developers are continuing to work on. Sure, you could argue that it's sometimes untested and unoptimised, not to mention the whole business of having a paid expansion pack for an unreleased game. The core game itself has been in Early Access for a while, and the developers have been adding content at a fairly frequent pace. Who doesn't want to tame an army of raptors? It takes all the best elements of a good survival game, such as resource gathering and base building, and then throws in a vast island full of dinosaurs for you to defeat and tame.

Of the many survival games to spring up in the wake of DayZ's success, there are few that have garnered as much attention and players as ARK: Survival Evolved.
