You also fall through the world, a lot, I keep spawning with the legs in the ground too, although in this case my foot seems to be beside my hip:

think I might stay here for a while.Ĭharacter creation is impossible, since the character generated is invisible, you can only see your character when in-game: Later on I sat around my newly crafted campfire to cook up some meat, I was in a nice little rocky cove for safety, but as I looked above I saw a massive tail swinging around. That’s highly amusing, and totally gross, but realistic at least. Your character randomly poops (really, fart noise and all), and you can pick it up to use it later. I was minding my own business, casually pooping and gathering wood, and I peered around a tree to see some sort of raptor making a line for me, and death quickly came after I saw it. It already gave me a fright (and death) when trying to get some wood. I have to say, I might actually enjoy this one more than other survival games like it. It’s also pretty hard to judge the game when it’s in such a state as this, but I tried it as much as I could to report back. I’ve never been a massive fan of many survival games, as most are ugly, or boring as hell. Medium settings are still better than most indie games around, so I'm not too bothered by how it looks, it just badly needs the glitches sorted. Medium settings aren't too terrible, but it is ruined by the constant graphics glitching, and general sluggish performance. They are good when you turn the settings up for sure, but that's only playable for super insane machines right now, so I took a look at Medium to make it somewhat playable. I’ve had to turn the settings to Medium to get even a remotely playable framerate, and it doesn’t look very pleasing on the eyes. On High settings it dips below 10FPS at times, and looking around the world is mainly around 20-25FPS, but it will hit ~55FPS when looking at the coastline. Warning: This game is Early Access, and the Linux version has only just arrived.īe aware that I am testing this on an Nvidia 970 and a decent Intel i5 4670K, so your mileage will vary. Use your cunning and resources to kill or tame the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land, and team up with or prey on hundreds of other players to survive, dominate.

It’s a very popular survival game with dinosaurs that is constantly in the top-10 on Steam, so how is it?Īs a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK, you must hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements.
