I absolutely love the game, but as it is currently, I cannot recommend it.

I have nearly 2k hours in ark, and I probably will continue to play it, but I'm playing it mostly because there aren't other options that are similar.

The main reason I wouldn't recommend is because of the lying by the devs. Here are some examples:
1. They said they wouldn't shut down any official servers (which they changed their minds and did)
2. Updates, We used to get a date of when wildcard would release a new update for ark, but it was literally ALWAYS late. We dont' even get update dates anymore
3. DLC - They said they wouldn't release any paid dlc until Ark left early access, which they did with scorched earth.
4. Aberration - Honestly, after all the lying, I don't know why I expect them to give us a release date. After it's trailer, they said it was comming in October, okay... fair enough. October comes, still no release date... um okay, halfway through October... still no release date. Twitch con comes and they announce at twitch con that it has been delayed "by some weeks". Doesn't say when, doesn't say how long, just some weeks. So now we can look forward to it in November.

Great game, just wish they'd iron out the bugs and stop lying. If they did, they I could gladly recommend.
