Pretty sure most of the negativity around ark is related to the anti-consumer practices of snail games. That's where my negative review was rooted. The game itself used to be good before they started breaking all their promises and making it very pay to win.

If exploration is "exhausting" perhaps open world is not for you. Some games definitely do open world better than others but the whole idea of open world is that there is a big world to explore and you can explore it as much or as little as you want. You say exhausting I say getting my money's worth.
