Seriously? Starting off with a freaking tek suit just pisses me off! I was really hoping for a survival setting but NO we still have missions and an AI that makes you want to blow your head off!!! The only positive I have to say is that it IS a slight improvement over Part 1 even then that's not saying much! Save your $30.

This DLC Is Just Sad!!

Warning: Spoilers
This fricking expansion! THIS is an abomination of an expansion to such a good game! I was a huge fan of ARK seeing this garbage on my screen though makes me infuriated. Everything about this DLC is bad! The voice acting is cringeworthy, the graphics are downgraded, and the new creatures suck donkey nuts! Don't buy, buy the other expansion packs hell I'd even recommend part 1 to Genesis than this!!
Makes Part 1 look like a masterpiece!

Utter Rubbish, That Shouldn't Have Even Existed In The First Place!

This DLC is just total rubbish! ARK was already at the point of a decent ending, but Wildcard decided to blow that up by making this DLC. This THIS is not even a DLC This should rather be considered its own game, because this is not ARK anymore! I honestly don't know what it is, but it's definitely something stupid!!
Inadequate Garbadge!

This DLC sucks! Little cam be said about Genesis Part 1 & 2. Starting off in a tek suit is not the ARK I grew up loving!! Along with many bugs and glitches that Wildcard still hasn't fixed yet. And ARK 2 looks horrible BTW, Vin Diesel is such an overrated actor.... what has ARK become!?
I'm honestly pretty Skeptical about the release of this DLC...

I myself am skeptical with how this DLC is going to turn out, Genesis: Part 1 was big infested with many errors and lack of source material sooo.... I'm worried honestly. The trailer looks cooler than the one for part 1 I will say that, I just hope this DLC brings what I promises because part 1 sure didn't!
Ambitious and a different game

I got annoyed seeing only complainers in the reviews and that doesn't seem fair to the game ARK as a whole. If you don't like it, don't play it it's fine.
Ark Survival Evolved in itself is a very ambitious game that delivers an intense, fun, and often infuriatingly frustrating experience. Yet so many people keep coming back. Genesis part 1 introduces new mechanics and goes deeper into the story of Helena, now our companion H-LNA. It put it's foot down that this was a sci-fi MMO. Genesis part 2 concludes that story of our robot companion and of Rockwell, an individual who's been teased and talked about through explorer notes hidden throughout the previous story maps.
There's more good here than bad but let's talk about bad first. I only have 5 things here actually.
1. The Space Biome, this is an amazing concept but is frustratingly difficult and that's mostly due to the controls if you can survive that long to see.
2. Difficultly spikes in the "easy" simulation missions. Nothing like dying to 5 scorpions poising you and black out And dying to 5 carnos, 6 raptors, and 4 snakes. And that's personal.
3. Shift to sci-fi. Personally I love the shift they made to all in sci-fi, but I know why many people hate it and totally understand. Playing Ark prehistorically is a blast! So if you don't like it, just play what you like!
4. Glitchy Tek. The Tek weapons and vehicles are glitchy as hell.
5. Some buildings can be entered but most can't. I think that's a huge mistep. If you allowed all buildings to entered I think more players would have loved it and you would have seen player made cities and some fun communities.
Now some things I think people with love!
1. The new tames! Taming has never felt so rewarding when you get yourself a new overpowered creature!
2. The suit. Tired of dying cuz you run out of breath underwater? Did you die cuz it's dark and you can't see the cliff you fell off? Want to get to the other side of the map quickly? Wildcard studios really went in and said, go crazy, and gave everyone a tek suit.
3. Mission rewards! Good rewards=incentive to do the story! Well done.
4. The story. Some parts are more difficult than the others, but talk about a rewarding and just great story! Discovering the story as you explore and complete missions is clever and makes the player feel good. And just a great story with great voice acting. Especially from David Tennet.
