Ark... One of the most brutalest survival games in gaming history, and now it's remastered with Unreal Engine 5. It's hard not to love the sound of this for any Ark fans, myself included. I am writing this in early access, so lots of things will be changed in the future. But! In my experience playing through Ark Ascended so far. It's been fantastic! I love to see all the dinosaurs remastered with new AI and textures, and playing on The Island again has been something special to me. The developers also introduced some new and small quality-of-life features like making building easier, introducing baby dinosaurs, a new minimap, and changes in stats, plus more changes. The only major bad thing I can say about Ark right now is the performance issues. I have a decent gaming computer, nothing too good, and the most I've gotten in Ark Ascended has to be 50 frames a second. Which isn't too bad, but it certainly needs adjusting. Other than that, I'm really excited to see the future of Ascended, along with its many famous DLCs that plan to release later this year and in 2025.
