You cannot build close to others houses, and there were a lot of abandoned shacks along the way that stopped me from building. We had some issues along the way when it came to trying to build our home. Me and my Dodo, Melon III (I lost both Melon I and II to raptor attacks early on), tried our best to survive and thrive in this world. A tropical area full of everything a survivor might need to survive in a wild dinosaur filled world. In our experience, we played with the dino spawn patch on The Island. It takes a minute to get the handle of the sliders, especially if you’re using the joycons, but the touch screen works in handheld mode, and that helped a lot with getting a character ready that I enjoyed. Once you join either mode, you’ll be asked make a character in one of the most intense character creation screens I’ve experienced on the Nintendo Switch. It can be extremely overwhelming without a friend that knows what they’re doing. For first time users, I would suggest jumping into the single player mode for a bit to fully familiarize yourself with how the world of ARK works. I truly believe that with the collaboration of the gamers and the developers, ARK on the Switch can be a fun time for all wanting to play on the road in single player or at home docked or handheld on the online servers.Īs you log in for the first time on the Switch you’ll notice that you have the ability to Join ARK (online multiplayer) or Single Player modes. It launched badly, but as the team became transparent and began working together with the community, the game ended up being wonderful. I had a similar feeling as a player when Star Wars: Battlefront II came out. The team worked very hard and were very transparent with me, and I think that makes a big difference when it comes to how a player feels about a game. Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in! – Mafia Definitive Edition reviewįrom here on out for the review, I will not be discussing any gameplay from before the Dino Spawn patch unless it’s to discuss a fix that was made. So, after we were told that the dinosaurs were back in the game we jumped in. Apparently, the test servers were not showing these main two issues that stopped our team from having fun. First came a patch on Friday that fixed the dehydration bugs and then on Tuesday came a fix for the despawning Dinosaurs. Throughout the next week, I was given updates as they patched things in the game. They hated that people were having the issues and they were GOING to make it work. ARK’s team was very transparent with me about the work they’ve put into the game to try and make it a good experience for all players. The ARK team set up a meeting to speak with me and we discussed our team’s issues with the game so far, and they actually had responses to almost everything we had right off the bat. *Side note: these glitches did not happen in the single player mode, just on the public servers for multiplayer.* Regan and I played for about 10 hours total before we reached out to the development team. At nighttime the game impossible to navigate, and even if we did run into each other, we were dead within a few minutes due to something we didn’t do or had any control over. When we jumped in, there were no dinosaurs at all, and every so often we would just start dying of dehydration for no reason. We were given codes for both the base game and the Ultimate Survivor Edition. I’m going to be completely honest and transparent about this process: it was a rough time at the start. How did it go? Well, there are some highs and lows with the Switch Version, so let’s go for a ride. For the Switch version, I played online with my partner Regan in the other room playing on their Switch and we also both tried out the single player mode. I’ve played ARK on the PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. I had also played Scorched Earth (and seen Scorched Earth played) before taking a crack at the Switch Version for this review. It was my job to use the Parasaur and get all of the necessary materials for our Tribe Leader to make the things he wanted to make. Usually, we played on The Island because it was the easiest for everyone. It was all my streamer friends would play on stream, so I learned how to play ARK.
