ARK: Survival Evolved -Dorwulf

ARK Survival Evolved was revealed on Monday to be a brand new survival game to be coming out. Yeah yeah, there are many out already but for me, none of them caught my attention. It isn't the graphics mind you, I play old school games too and older graphics have a sense of nostalgia.

Many survival games have come out with certain themes: Zombie survival, nature survival, SURVIVAL survival, horror survival, and now we have dinosaur survival. This time, it seems like it'll be good. Not really sure yet because of lack of information It is coming to Steam's early access June 2015 and it is expected to be released June 2016.

WHAT IS ARK?

It is a 1st/3rd person dinosaur survival game Where you have to fend off against other players and dinosaurs. Fight against the dinosaurs or tame them to have mounts and/or pets. Create fortresses and have allies on your side to fight with. No information about if death is permanent and it is a restart of progress, but I believe it will be like that because of the nature of survival games. Death means you lose all progress and all items you have created and/or had at the time of death. It's a hardcore feature that makes you want to survive as long as possible.


First thing I've noticed is how beautiful the game looks. It is a marvelous piece of artwork. Hell I would have been fooled if someone said it was made by a AAA team of 500 employees (probably not). The second thing that caught my attention is the music. It has a decent musical score that was original and captivating. I loved the deep echoes of (sorry if it's the wrong instrument I suck I know) trombones bellowing.

See for yourself, the trailer is right above. People have been saying that it is what Stomping Lands should have been. Stomping Lands is the first take at a Dinosaur Survival game but it was recently taken off the Steam early access for lack of updates. It was basically a dead game where the developers were wanting money and not releasing any patches or updates for their game.

Hopefully it'll be the first RELEASED survival game. So far I don't even think a single survival game has fully been released yet. Time will tell if this is a true game or another failure of a survival game. Here's to hoping.
