Ark: Survival Evolved vs Battle Online: Survival Island
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.
Battle Online: Survival Island
Battle Online: Survival Island is an early access battle royale game where you have to fight against other players to survive in a gradually shrinking map. Each map in the game can house up to 15 players at a time while providing players with a ton of resources that are stored in wooden crates to pick up and collect. There isn't any crafting or base building though - just some first person shooting. You cannot loot the corpse of a player you've killed either.Granted that Battle Online: Survival Island still has a very long way to go to be remotely comparable to PUBG, this game is still pretty fun in its rudeimentary kind of way. Not to mention, by playing the game and giving the developer some feedback, you can actually help the dev turn this game into a much better mobile battle royale game for you to enjoy.
