Its free-to-own version grants players at least 50 hours of playable content that they can either experience with their friends or on their own.

ARK: survival Evolved offers a unique experience

ARK: Survival Evolved is an action-adventure, survival game set in the Dinosaur Age. You will play as a man or woman starving on the beach of a mysterious island called ARK. At the beginning of your journey, you only need to stay alive on the island filled with various dinosaurs, natural hazards, monsters, and prehistoric animals. Build your base, manage your food and water wisely, and also keep an eye on temperature and weather.

When you feel ready to explore your island, do not forget to craft a weapon to protect yourself against threats. Roaming and looting is the funniest thing to waste time in ARK. The main purpose of the game is to take you back to thousands of years ago when global biodiversity was at its peak, flowers, soil, and the weather was fresher, and every obstacle for humans was harder to overcome. ARK: Survival Evolved has an amusing, historical theme that makes players feel like they have traveled through the ages.

Players are able to tame, train, and ride dinosaurs in ARK. You can take your ancient friend home and feed him/her to earn his/her loyalty which you will need in merciless fights. ARK: Survival Evolved has also a tribe system that allows players to gather their people and rule over the island. Crafting, researching, and building are the key features of ARK, as you can expect from a survival game. The game becomes more fun to play after spending more time setting up the order. Players can also team up with their friends up to three players while discovering its vast open world. You can get your free copy by heading to the game’s Steam store page.
