Early Access Review
My update 2: Tip To avoid crashes everytime u change your settings in game from keybinds to graphics to fps it will crash or it did for me To fix this issue Simply do all the changes in the game menu that way it wont crash and then join a world or make one. Just watchout if you have the same issues with crashes never change settings in game ! only in the menu.





I have so many hours on ark. All dlcs everything.
Now I bought this game just because its another ark like and i was searching for something fun and new to play.
Well this is not NEW. nothing is new not at all. Imagine you buy this you may get all the dlcs but they are not there now.
Do not buy. Wait for several months until it has at least some content. Also another joke when Ark survival evolved got released it took over a half a year for a new dlc to be released/announced. Here we are going to have a new dlc soon ? WHAT? They havent even caught up to the base game content. FOR THIS PRICE TAG? And take into account ark 2 releasing next year. Devs trying to milk us af.


Avoid Buying for a minimum of several more months as of the time i post this review. Trust me please.


In short: Ark ascended is an overpriced underwhelming reskin or just a port of ark with less content that is made just to milk the players for money nothing else. (they will add the dlcs later, but They arent here now and thats what matters...)
(It will likely be worth to buy half a year to a year from now when there is even more content than ark + all dlcs until then avoid at all cost)


Update: Decided to give it a try since some of the mods i like are partially added And got 5 crashes under 20 minutes and yeah nope I give up I would rather go play something else until this game is playable. Sorry not sorry

Another 4 crashes in (not at all connected with the settings)
Turns out game sometimes crashes for people on engram screens

Turning off “Enable Foliage & Fluid Interaction” helped some people but not everyone so posting it here for you

Also a little thing i wanted to add that i didnt like about the normal ark as well.

Why... Are the spawn locations hidden in fog of war. Is it made to screw with new players or ? It doesnt help the "exploration" aspect actually the opposite seeing easy medium and hard as a spawn points is just a what ? If they revealed a little so people get a "lil look" at where they want to spawn like do you want to spawn at a beach ? a jungle? a forest? maybe a desert? (depending on the maps etc.) Having it revealed at least just the biome is an amazing taste test for new players to choose their own way of exploration and etc.
