ARK: Survival Ascended

After playing ACE, ASA initially appears to be a beautiful game that captivates you with its visuals. At first, you’re enchanted by the aesthetics, but as you dive deeper into the gameplay, it quickly reveals itself to be a raw experience.

I built a powerful PC to enjoy the game without freezes or lags, yet I’m met with constant stuttering. To make matters worse, after recent patches, I frequently encounter crashes upon entering the game, complete with error messages. Closing the unresponsive window often requires a frustrating series of steps.

The developers seem to be following a trend reminiscent of Ubisoft, with their “Oh, we’ve released a new dinosaur! Buy it and gain an advantage in the game,” only to later nerf it. I primarily play PvE, but with the number of crashes I experience, my desire to continue playing has diminished significantly. Unfortunately, this game doesn’t justify the 15,000 rubles I invested in it.

It's disappointing to hear about your negative experience with ARK: Survival Ascended. Technical issues and unstable gameplay can indeed ruin the enjoyment of a visually appealing game. Your feedback on the developers' approach to in-game content and frequent crashes is valuable. Hopefully, the issues will be addressed in future updates to make the game more stable and enjoyable for all players.
