Ark: Survival Evolved vs FeralHeart
Ark: Survival Evolved
Ark: Survival Evolved is a hardcore, prehistoric-themed (this means dinosaurs... lots and lots of them), survival sandbox MMO set in an astoundingly gorgeous persistent world where everybody is fair game. There is insane amount of resources that you can harvest, items you can craft and dinosaurs that you can tame. Not to mention, you can and will probably need to build shelters for yourself and your tamed beasts, and of course, defend it from other players.Being a hardcore survival game, you'll also need to take care to feed both you and your dinosaurs and that death is pretty permanent in this game. Even the tools you craft has durability that will gradually wear down when used. It might be difficult to be a solo player and thus, you are often encouraged to team up whenever you can.
Ark: Survival Evolved is definitely not the sort of game to play if you're easily frustrated. The learning curve - let alone the "survival curve" - can be pretty steep especially when you keep getting killed or harassed by other, better equipped survivors.
FeralHeart
FeralHeart is a very unique MMORPG where instead of playing a human or humanoid character, you actually get to play as a feral lion or wolf of your choice. For a fairly low-budget game, the customization options in this game is simply astonishing! You can adjust literally every part of your animal avatar's body, ranging from the mane down to the distinctive markings which will help yuo personalize your feral. The game also has a vast world for you to explore and who knows, you may even make other animal friends along the way.Best yet, the developer of the game has even added in a map and an object editor, allowing players to create their own maps and objects for the game. In some way, the game is trying to transition to becoming a player-driven game, and it's working somehow, despite the lower population (but it's still an impressive number).
FeralHeart is the spiritual successor of KovuLKD's old game "Impressive Title" and we're glad to say that this game did it justice. If you long to bound around as a daring feline or canine, this is the game to play.
