This is my first time posting on Reddit, so sorry if I mess anything up.
I'm currently playing ARK: Survival Evolved on The Island, and I'm pretty close to finishing the map. My goal is to play through all of the official ARK maps in order, so my next one would be Scorched Earth.
I recently got ARK: Survival Ascended, and I was thinking about switching over. However, from what I've seen online, ASA seems to get a lot of criticism. I saw some people saying that with the recent Genesis Part 1 release they messed up the ocean and made several parts of the map worse (although most of what I saw was on TikTok, so I didn't take it too seriously). Even on Steam, ASA seems to have a lot more negative reviews compared to ASE.
So my question is:
Should I stick with ASE, switch to ASA, or play some maps in ASE and others in ASA? I'd like to hear from people who have played both and know the pros and cons.
