This expansion pack is a complete game-changer. If you think you’ve seen diversity in ARK, wait until you check this map out. You can also get it through the season pass. In my opinion this adds even more life to this already life-filled map.Īberration is an expansion pack that was released in 2017 for the initial price of $19.99. When it rains, you can fill your water containers up, and when the fog rolls in, you won’t be able to see very far. On The Island there are two types of weather: rain and fog.
If you are walking for long enough, you will find yourself in biomes that didn’t even know exists. The diversity of biomes is also adding to this. As I said, it looks great anywhere you go. It’s not thathard for you to find the necessities, making this an amazing map for those that are not seeking extremely complicated stuff. They offer amazing views and experiences. Not only does this map have the best amount of caves to farm and explore, but they are also very beautiful.So if you’re searching for that, make sure you’re at least giving it a try. I believe this map is the one that offers exactly the vibe that you expect when playing a dinosaur game. As you travel farther inland, you will see that resources become more common, but so does the danger. The Island is a huge landmass with many other smaller islands surrounding the central island. For example, you can see five larger mountains in the north and plains in the south. Well… it’s not made only out of jungle, it actually consists of multiple geological regions. This is in my opinion one of the best-looking jungle-filled available maps. It is the first known ARK and the first map that follows the storyline.įor the people that are looking for more of a Jurassic Park vibe, this is the map for you. The Island is probably known by everybody, as it is a map that is included with the base game. It looks amazing! By having very nice looking caves and locations (for example the world scar and the manticore city), it makes you almost forget that you’re in a huge, almost never-ending desert.Ī Survivor's Guide to *The Island* in ARK Survival Evolved It helps you get fully immersed in this map. The music for this expansion pack is very nice and fitting. One of the most praised things about this map is… well… the music.These creatures are making up a part of the challenging aspect of the map. It has a variety of creatures which are ranging from the Jerboa to the Wyverns.New items have been introduced into Scorched Earth, for example the Adobe building tools, which are useful given the circumstances that you will find yourself in.I would recommend going for this map if you got bored of the casual vanilla Ark, as it truly changes things a bit.
As difficult as it sounds, some things that have been added especially to make your life a bit easier. This expansion brought to life dinosaurs far from what we were used to seeing, dinosaurs that make this experience a lot more challenging.Īnother thing that adds to the challenging nature of this map is the way that it has been built around seemingly vast and empty sand-filled places, making you go in expeditions even for water. This map is not set around forests and vegetation, but it is focused around a large desert filled with occasional oases. This map changed almost everything that was originally known.
