Ark: Survival Evolved

This week we played our most requested game, Ark: Survival Evolved by: Wild Card studios. Ark is a first person survival builder where you wake up on a strange island with nothing at all. Punch trees and rocks to start a shelter, but you will need to quickly evolve that shelter to progressively more advanced structures if you hope to survive the island that is inhabited by dinosaurs. Start from sticks and slings and continually advance technology to be able to build guns and explosives. Conquer the boss and discover the mystery behind the island. This is of course a very very very small part of this gigantic game. Thank you to our sponsor of this episode Magic Mind.
