Ark: Survival Evolved

You wake up stranded on an island full of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures, and have to gather resources, craft gear, build a base and survive. A large part of the game is taming creatures you can ride and fight with. You can play alone, in co-op or on multiplayer servers with tribes, where other players can be allies or threats. Is it your kind of game?
