On the borderline nonexistent chance that Ark isn't already on your radar, this game was made for... specifically YOU.

Newer content is pretty sci-fi heavy, but the original maps are all about the dinos.
Hey thanks for the recommendation! Unfortunately my computer is too janky to handle anything made after around 2012, so I'm a bit limited in what I can play. Honestly probably for the best while I'm in school...
But when I graduate and have some form of income, I will definitely check it out cause it looks awesome! Thanks for the recommendation bud!
Definitely a good call to wait until you have a decent rig... its optimization is NOT one of its selling points lol.
But if you've got a machine that can handle its clusterfuck of code, it's an absolutely gorgeous game -- here's a good short showcase of some of its scenery / critters:

Good luck with school! I'm doing the whole full-time-work + part time college thing right now too, so I definitely appreciate the time management clusterfuck... and Ark is one of the games that can absolutely MURDER your free time (no shit, I have over 6k hours logged). Keep it bookmarked in your brain though, or wishlist it and pick it up when it goes on some insane sale.
