5.0Although the core gameplay of ARK is fun and with unique features like the "taming" system, has the potential to be one of the best adventure survival games on mobile, the current performance of the game makes it unplayable.

- Nintendo World Report2.5Is a Switch game that can realistically only be played in docked mode actually playable? The entire point of this system is to be able to take your games with you, but ARK can’t really offer that. It draws into question the sanctity of the Nintendo seal of quality. The fact that it is not only available to the public, but costs money is an insult. Don’t buy ARK on Switch.

ARK: Survival Evolved
I am not cut out for open world survival games which is the reason for my low score. I do recommend this for hardcore survival gamers. There is no tutorial and the only way to learn the mechanics of the game is to read the manual at the menu. I played solo just to get a sense of the game and was unable to enter the PvP and PvE servers as they were full. Even though I spawned at an area marked as easy, my first encounter was with a Lvl 15 dino that can shoot poison. As soon as you spawn you have to always be on the move and gather materials quickly to defend yourself or die. Despite my experience the game has awesome graphics and mechanics since you can tame and ride some dinos.
