ARK: Survival Evolved is a realistic Steam sandbox game, why do you say that? In fact, it can be seen from the game screen and style that this game adopts unreal 4 engine to create, with a realistic style, while the open world created by the development team has a variety of terrain and biomes, and there are also day and night cycles, weather changes, and seasonal changes, and players even have the illusion of coming to reality to survive under the effect of full picture quality.
In fact, many new players have complained about the realistic living environment of "ARK: Survival Evolution", and they can't stand it. In the game, players will enter a primitive dinosaur world as a clone, to face a dangerous environment and a variety of ferocious creatures, such as mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, dinosaurs, etc., like some carnivorous creatures will take the initiative to attack the player, the player as food to eat, in the early stage of no strength, become the rations of carnivorous creatures is a common thing.
The open world of ARK: Survival Evolved has complex terrain and flora and fauna, such as sparse vegetation and rare water resources in desert areas, where the creatures are quite ferocious, and even if they have dodged those fierce creatures, players may still have difficulty surviving. Because the lack of water is difficult to solve, and the desert environment means high temperature, the character consumes water quite quickly in high temperature conditions, and will shed blood in extreme heat conditions, and even some players are alive in the desert area.
It can be seen that in the different areas of "ARK: Survival Evolution", the survival ideas and methods are different. For example, in the snowy mountains, you must pay attention to building houses and lighting bonfires, avoiding blizzards and raising the temperature of the characters to survive; in swamp areas, you must be careful of insects and leeches in the swamps; as for desert environments such as scorched earth, you must bring enough water resources.
