Not much play beyond half an hour I feel like. Its very, lacking. I can't quite place my finger on it but it just feels, meh, to me. Get it on a great sale. You won't play it a whole lot.

Welp, like the other reviews say. This game is a low quality cash grab.

Tons of bugs in the game some of which make it unbearable to play like for example the sound cutting out, or after a long game being unable to click things anymore on the station, only the interface responds.

Bad design decisions, such as VAL's bad voices and the badly written lines its been given some of which literally sound like they came from google translate. Another bad decision was the events and such, like every inspection results in a shutdown, no passable inspections, plus some exploits in battle between sectors, event spam, no cooperation with AI players..

No updates in years, they abandoned the game as soon as they released it. No chance that anything here will ever be fixed. Seriously, don't even get this on discount like I did, it wasn't really worth it. I hated the gameplay, couldn't stand VAL, and realize that nothing will ever improve. I already went beyond the return policy play time because I wanted to be completely thorough and give the game a chance. It wasn't worth the 70% off I paid for it.

The only good thing was that I liked the music. This game did have potential, had they stuck with it a little longer and worked towards fixing the problems. Just fixing the problems would have made it worth it, but fixing the bad decisions could have made this game a real hit.

But, with their crappy launcher platform which I had to block with my hosts file as a method of displaying ads to people who launch the game and stuff, and as the company ditched it so fast, I will never get anything from Kalypso again. I've blacklisted the entire publisher now. The launcher is a very bad move that automatically earned the blacklist to begin with. Not bothering to fix anything, just proves further scummy-ness.

Lackluster when I tried way back. Boring. Meh. Thats the best I can describe it. And very limited too. I hate free to play games because of that ♥♥♥♥.

For more reasons not to bother with this, read other reviews.

Eh, its hard to say. This game gives me a headache, with all the walls and textures being so duplicated, and even after adjusting the controls it feels, too basic, too off. Motion sickness option makes the game much slower and take longer which annoyed me so I had to edit those settings manually just to stop getting nausea while being able to actually move fast.

I keep reaching puzzles that feel unsolvable and its already in the beginning still. Some of the red puzzles are simple, some seem impossible. I'm not the type to look up the answers either so I'll probably end up uninstalling if I can't figure it out at some point here soon.

I just don't like how very basic this game is in some areas or how difficult these puzzles are with no method of gaining any assistance or in game hints. The shrine walls are completely useless so far too.

Early Access Review
So many things untextured. No tutorial or anything to help you figure things out. I realize that there's only one dev working on it, but honestly this is so very unfleshed out in the terrain and gameplay stuff I can't figure out what to do. Coal looks like sand, I can't find sand, random surface uranium, its a little silly. Very -very- early access. More like a tech demo at this point.

Eeeeh, it was ok. I was annoyed by some invisible wall type stuff which usually happens with remastered games. Didn't really feel much different at all, as if barely anything was changed for some extra profit. I dislike how the game forces you to play a specific way in some situations, decloaking you so enemies know you're there, having infinite enemies spawn in certain areas so you can't just kill them all off one by one. But I guess it was fine. Get on a discount though, story was pretty fast.

Early Access Review
Unplayable. Crashes when editing graphic settings about 50% of the time.
Resolution scale keeps adjusting its self lower, without letting me lock it to 100%.
FPS was 35 at the lowest of all settings.
No graphic settings were explained at all. I'm sure some graphic settings could be raised without affecting FPS but I had no idea which ones.

I didn't get the chance to play, the FPS was so bad and the game was so hideous, I just couldn't. I have requested a refund. This game is not optimized in the slightest. Exactly like the original Ark Survival.

The devs left a critical bug in this, that prevents you from completing a certain mission if you play it too fast. An easy to fix bug that they just don't care enough about to fix.

Contains a few bugs that break the game in various ways, even up to making one of their games impossible to complete (Halo 4 where the map stops loading). Its not all that great of a fixed up game. They just slapped it all into a special interface that can load each game and overlays them all with a sort of mini OS that can constantly try to advertise events to you and whatnot. They didn't really do much to make the games work better or fix anything so any bugs you had before this collection came out, they are still there. Worse yet this probably introduces additional bugs on its own. Its nice to have the games playable on PC now, but if they aren't going to fix anything, there's not much point in it.

The game its self, would be great. If it didn't have so many bugs, so much imbalance, and various other issues that they neglected to even try to fix.

The fact is, they just spruced up this game to re-sell it to you claiming you get tons more content but really most of the content you get was the DLCs from the last game and a few other things.

They never bothered to fix any bugs, issues, or broken missions. Leaving everything up to the modders to fix, they just crummily re-released the game in the hopes that many would buy it again. Even with mods I still have a few bugs that are just extremely annoying and the balance is still off even if I did manage to improve to some degree. A lot of common sense things were just never done.

I like the game, but I hate the people who made it for not even trying to solve the many known bugs. I mean, mods have had bug fixes for years, and they couldn't go back to the game to just patch the bugs themselves in an update? Its like they ♥♥♥♥ it out onto the shelf and left it with no updates. I'm quite angry that such a good game ended up so frustrating.

EDIT: Lets not forget one more thing. The game does not have achievements. If you use any mods to fix the game's issues, achievements are disabled, therefor you don't actually get any achievements unless you play with their bug filled broken ass game.
