Ark Survival Evolved is an action adventure video game released in August 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux. Players find themselves stranded on an island called Ark, with literally nothing.  Ark is inhabited by prehistoric animals like dinosaurs and potentially hostile human players. As a game of survival, players must defend themselves using firearms, even improvised weapons, as they build their base and collect resources to live. Set in an open world environment, players may navigate through foot or by taming prehistoric animals to be used for transportation and for their abilities.  Ark Survival Evolved received mixed reviews. It is loved for the interactive setting. The idea of hunting, growing crops, harvesting, building shelters and of course taming a dinosaur gave the game a very immersive feel. Players say that they are entertained, frustrated and satisfied at the same time. The downside of the game is that it is not for one who has an average PC as the game slows down and crashes. ARK has sold over a million copies on its early access release on Steam and has sold over a million copies upon its release for Xbox One alone.
