Is Ark: Survival Evolved kid friendly?

As long as your kid doesn't touch multi-player below the ages of 12-13 it's fine. Your kid most likely learned every curse word in the book by ages 9-10, regardless of parenting. In ARK you must learn to survive by adapting to your environment.

ARK: Survival Evolved is a great dinosaur-survival game. I have two twin boys who are both 11 today, and started playing ARK when they where 9 in 2018. They have puts weeks worth of hours into this game, and have NEVER played multi-player with others. In multi-player servers other people can kill you, steal your resources and attack your base IN GAME. As long as your kid doesn't touch multi-player below the ages of 12-13 it's fine. Your kid most likely learned every curse word in the book by ages 9-10, regardless of parenting. In ARK you must learn to survive by adapting to your environment. You need to build a safe shelter, get access to food and water, and scavenge resources such as trees and bushes to survive. They will also have to learn controls too, which may take a while depending on age. Yes, there is violence. No guts or gore, only visible wounds like gashes and blood on something that has been attacked. As long as your kid can handle that (YOUR KID, not you) they will enjoy ark sooo much. No nudity at ALL, besides from being in underwear when you first start out, which can be changed once you find or craft clothes with resources you gather from your enviourment. No sex or swearing as there is no story or dialogue in ARK, besides from a few journals you can find around the island which has no inappropriate content at all, just lore for anyone curious about ARK's background and story. What I think makes ARK: Survival Evolved so appealing to children is that they can do whatever they want. They can play with a friend, siblings or parent(s), build any kind of base in any size and shape, and they really create their own story for ARK. They can tame dinosaurs which my two children LOVE, by knocking them unconscious from 'tranq arrows' which harmlessly put the creature to sleep, and feeding them food as they wake up, and they'll be the player's dinosaur. Watching my boys ride a T-Rex while exploring the wilderness is so hilarious and amazing, they have so much fun. It can be fun playing alone as it is multi-player, and I say it IS for children 10-11+ despite the M rating, but it honestly depends on your child and you. If they (Your child) can handle stressful situations such as a dinosaur chasing them in the jungle, or when they kill a Dodo for food and it flops on the ground dead, they'll be fine. Blood can also be disabled in settings in you're really paranoid, but you still have to fight, and if you die you can just respawn anyways. Great learning experience, it's so hard to say everything without writing an essay, but kids will LOVE THIS GAME.
