Survive on a Mysterious Island
In Ark: Survival Evolved, players are stranded on a mysterious island and must hunt, harvest, craft items, grow crops, and build shelters to survive.
One of the game’s main highlights is letting players tame, train, breed, and ride dinosaurs in a living ecosystem. To tame a creature, players need to first knock it out and then nurse it back to health. Once tamed, the creature becomes a pet of the player and follows them depending on how well they’ve been tamed and trained. There are more than 80 creatures waiting to be tamed.
