From PSU: "After around 20 hours of banging my head against the wall with PixARK, I set my controller down and backed away from my PlayStation 4. With little idea what I was doing, or what I was supposed to do, I had flailed around for far too long in PixARK’s open world. What on earth was this game all about? I had no idea. I don’t have a ton of experience with Minecraft-like games (beyond my beloved Dragon Quest Builders), and I have never played ARK: Survival Evolved. Since PixARK is purported to be a combination of the building and survival genres, I figured that I had better turn to an expert."
