Absolutely Classic....

Given yesterday's unwanted and unexpected stress, I decided to reward myself when one of the games on my Steam Wishlist came up at 66% off.

So this morrning I installed Ark:Survival Evolved, which drops you onto a 70km2 island populated by dinosauria and megafauna equipped with nothing more than your underwear. The idea is to survive, build things, and eventually explore the various SFnal artefacts scattered around. It's designed to be massively multiuser, with people grouping in tribes, but I just plan on using it for a little relaxing solo gaming

Now it looks absolutely gorgeous, but the documentation is utterly crap, the initial user guide doesn't even document the control keys. So I'm wandering around trying to figure stuff out, and there are various non-aggressive dinosaurs wandering by. Then I run into a small one in a patch of vegetation.

You remember that scene in Jurassic Park where Nedry, the hacker, runs into the cute little dilophosaurus, which promptly flares out its fan, spits in his eye, and eats him? That.

Absolutely classic!

Oh cool! I have that on my Steam wishlist too, and it looks so pretty but I have too many other games to get through first. I'm glad it's good.

Be warned, it's stunning beautiful (OMG, sunrise and sunset!), but also incredibly addictive.
