Jul 27, 2021Good game, the only bad thing is the glitches awaiting to be fixed though other than that great game....
-
Sep 26, 2021Good game on all platforms (excluding Nintendo). I play mainly on Ps4 though, so I decided to leave my review for this port in particular.

Nov 12, 2017As an idea, it's fine. The problem is how they execute it. The pros and cons are:
Pros:
-Visually beautiful
Cons:
-FPS low
-Bugs
-The way to "conquer" animals does not make sense
Conclusion: I do not recommend this game at all. If you fix the problems you have can be a good game. -
Jun 12, 2021Buen juego que darĂ¡ muchas horas de juego aunque lleva un tiempo aprender las mecĂ¡nicas que se actualizan con cada DLC...

Apr 20, 2017It's an open-world survivor, you can't go wrong with that, right?
Well, the mechanics are uncomfortable and overused, and the world feels a bit like it was copy-pasted.
This had potential, it really, did, but it was an overpriced mess.
There are plenty better survivors out there, don't hold your breath for masterpiece here...
And don't even get me started on the lag... -

Jan 31, 2020This game would probably be my favorite game ever if it the optimization wasn't straight up horrible and the devs actually cared about the game. Unless you really like dinosaurs and survival games do not buy this.

Dec 18, 2016This game runs like absolute trash. I cannot believe Sony QC control approved a game that runs with a frame rate dipping in the one digit territory. The gameplay is irrelevant as long as the game performs like this.

Mar 16, 2017Game is great when you're playing single player on a single player server. Official servers are complete trash though. If you're fine just playing by yourself and exploring what is around you then you should get this game. If you want a good pvp element don't buy this game. The lag is awful and everyone is already ten times better than you before you even start.
-
Jan 10, 2017This game consists of bugs, freezes, terrible control and a complete lack of usability. I think unacceptable releasing such unfinished products on PS4.
-
Feb 16, 2017Why is this game on ps4 when the PC version is still in early access? The answer is simple: greedy, thirsty developers.
Before this port came out, they even released a full-price DLC on Steam, despite the main game being a broken, unfinished pile of garbage. Do not waste your money on this version OR the PC version. -
Jan 28, 2017Awful, continual lag will drive you mad. A plethora of other glitches and bugs listed in other reviews here. Overall the worst, un-optimized game I have played on PS4.
-
Jan 23, 2017Absolutely amazing!
This game was so fun and great to play online! Everyone that has 30 pounds to spare should get this game or ill come to your house and bad things will happen -

Dec 9, 2016This game barely runs on a high-end computer let alone on the ps4. Ignoring the performance issues, the underlying gameplay is not very fun at all, and is just a grind. I would wait for it to actually release and professional reviews to come out before purchasing the game.

Nov 26, 2017Game wants to be great but with a myriad of technical problems holding it back, it's hard to recommend. It's a glitchy, broken mess that can be awesome fun when it works. Sadly it feels like the developers needed to keep this one in the oven until it was done...

Mar 3, 2017ValoraciĂ³n de 4 puntos... por que ? por que compre un juego a medio terminar... entras a un mapa con usuarios que te matan de 1 solo golpe, y vos venĂs con suerte juntando recursos... incontables las veces que morĂ intentando subir un poco.. y volver a comenzar todo el tiempo, para que todo se me borre despuĂ©s.

Jan 28, 2018Maximum Survivor trophy on ps4 wont unlock without dlc as they added 15 more levels but you can only get them through dlc which you have to pay for.
-
Apr 10, 2020Hands down best game I have ever played. So much to do, plus offers free dlc’s to play with as well, The game has a purpose, however you are free to do whatever you want. The paid dlc’s are also amazing, they are whole new maps with new creatures and bosses, for a low price. Best game ever!
-
Jul 21, 2020Absolutely awesome and then you come online after months of work and find somebody has taken it all. ROFL
-
Jun 15, 2021This game is enjoyable only with friends in offline mode. Online mode sucks community is toxic and everybody tries to kill you with no reasons. This is not GTA V!

Dec 13, 2016This game is great. Put time into getting used to the game and learn the basics and you can have a blast. PvP is great and if you don't want that you can always join a PvE server. Good game. Good Graphics. Really fun.
-
Dec 16, 2016ARK: Survival Evolved pleasantly surprised me. It plays well for a pre-release game and is enjoyable. It's a survival game so if that's not your cup of tea then I would move on but if you like those types of games then buy it!

Sep 14, 2017Broken laggy mess. Devs are the worst lazy in the industry.
his game is a lie in a 60$ box. It is not what we have been waiting for it is not "better longer with more to do" the story is complete childish **** -

Jul 10, 2019As a new player it’s not even enjoyable. And the controls are way too complicated and it doesn’t explain anything to you. Doesn’t run great on PS4 either. And I couldn’t get console commands to work after trying forever so yeah I don’t recommend.
-
Dec 28, 2020I had high expectations for this game & I was massively disappointed. The quality on ps4 is extremely bad, the controls are awful as well as the UI & the lack of a real mini map or even a map of the island are ruining the experience. I can’t for the life of me understand how the developers were thinking.
-
Feb 8, 2021This game really could have been good.
The game is so poorly optimised that it's pretty much unplayable in its current state. You really can't play this game. -
Feb 24, 2021The game is quite buggy and the graphics are quite good at their best i find the game play quite boring and repetitive. This game is for a very specific type of player that does not suit everyone i recommend watching some game play videos before buying this to make sure this is for you.

Mar 2, 2020Iv played since beta but refuse to give these scammers another cent or minute of my life! They are just gonna keep producing half polished turds and neglecting them soon as the money comes in to start making the next turd of a game iv been wiped by the devs more times than other players!( and i mean due to bugged updates not because i was cheating.. cheating is gross)
-
Jan 26, 2021One of the best survival games but the Performance is bad. On Ps4 Pro its ok if you take the right settings. there lot of bugs, but the gamebraking bugs a mostly patched. If you like Survival Games, try it, but grab it on sale.
-
Aug 2, 2020Unplayable. No way to save progress, no tutorials, nothing is self evident. Its like they designed the world and said "men, good enough- figure it out, dummy." And there is nothing on their website to make sense of it all- not even how to save your progress! How is this even a game? Avoid this title like the plague

Oct 1, 2020Are you looking for a game that crashes every ten seconds? How about a game that deletes all your progress because of bugs? No? How about a game that kicks you from the entire game so it can update in the middle of a raid, Well if that's what you want this is the game for you! Omegatrash

Jan 24, 2021Too scifi for something supposed to be prehistoric(ish), also, the random spawn enemy idea is absolute trash, why you would code it to spawn t-rex in the beginning spawn areas is beyond me..
-
Jan 10, 2018Can say just one thing: This so called Game is just a scam! Stay away from it!
-
Jun 10, 2019Wow, this game is bad. The interface is terrible and nothing is intuitive. The controls scheme is a nightmare, the game is buggy, and there is a ton of lag (produced from poor optimization). I cannot recommend this game.

Apr 11, 2019waste of $$$, game for ps4 is a nigthmare, disc problems and crash ps4, show some errors and etc, all pics are fake , dont show actual game, but this like nice looking box with rubbish inside
-
Dec 11, 2016This is an Early Access (re: INCOMPLETE) title on Steam for PC which was ported to the PS4. You give the Developers money to play the unfinished game and they will update it over time. Rather than providing this as a Beta or Demo, the only option for playing as of the time of this writing is the $54.99 Surviors Pack Bundle.
-
Sep 16, 2019Clearly just another pc port. these buggy pre alpha state games need to stay where they belong: steam.

Oct 25, 2017Like a lot of of titles in this genre, Ark: Survival Evolved has a steep learning curve and requires quite the time - and possibly financial - investment. But once you get into the rhythm of it, the endless need to survive, set against the simple satisfaction of slowly building up your capacity to do so, makes this a game that could well turn into a hobby for you, all in itself.
-
Sep 27, 2017ARK: Survival Evolved is a complete survival experience. It could be a little frustrating at the beginning, but once you learn the mechanics and get used to the gameplay, the player has multiple options to develop their characters and enjoy the beautiful but dangerous open world created by Studio Wildcard. However, the console interface isn't intuitive enough, and the performance isn't perfect, with some framerate issues. Even so, it´s very enjoyable to interact with the wild creatures living in this prehistoric island.
-
Sep 20, 2017If you have friends, Ark: Survival Evolved is a fun survival game, with options such as PvP or PvE servers to make every player happy. If you primarily play alone, however, this game will require a heavy set of grinding and repetition, turning off any players hoping to just get a taste of some dinosaur action.
