I completely agree with Sam Bahr when he wrote about character customization in his article, "ARK: Survival Evolved". Character customization alone is extremely entertaining. You can make your character fat, tall, skinny, short, and even make them look completely messed up. Usually, when I play "Ark", I make my character look as abnormal as humanly possible, just so when I join my friends they have to look at the strangest creature they've ever seen while we play. Another example of a fun, open-world survival game is "Rust". Although "Rust" doesn't have any customization other than clothing/skins, it is still my favorite out of the two. Thank you, Sam for making an outstanding review of an outstanding game!
