To be fair, of course, part of the reason the game chugs is because it’s arguably more ambitious than anything else on the Switch, and it takes a lot of power to process an open-world,dino-filled sandbox, but if anything, that just raises the question of why this game exists in the first place. Every time you die, you can respawn, but it means waiting forever while the game chugs along to rebuild the same place you just left. Incredibly, this is all with painfully long loading times. The game may promise dinos, but it delivers greyish-green blobs that look vaguely like dinosaurs only when you get close enough for them to kill you. Shadows have lives of their own: some things cast no shadows, while others cast shadows so all-encompassing that you can be walking along and suddenly find yourself shrouded in darkness because you walked next to a tree. Things pop in and out of existence all around you: one moment you’ll see a tree, the next moment it’ll be gone. The environment is constantly shifting in and out of…well, not focus, since nothing is actually in focus, but it constantly goes from really blurry to slightly less blurry. I don’t think I can overstate just how horrific ARK: Survival Evolved looks. You’ll be able to tell this from the moment you get plopped down on an island, and you discover that it looks like something that would have been criticized for having poor graphics on the PSP. This game is just an irredeemable disaster. But however bad they may be, I can’t imagine any of them hold a handle to ARK: Survival Evolved in terms of sheer awfulness. The Switch seemingly gets two dozen new releases every week, and even without playing most, I’m confident in saying that more than a few are pretty weak. I’ve got to hand it to ARK: Survival Evolved: I didn’t think it was possible to make a game this thoroughly terrible any more.ĭon’t get me wrong, there are lots of bad games out there.
