Here are more mod maps that I explored and here's my analysis:
- Temptress Lagoon -
Amazing looking map, has one huge biome (which is the one shown in the video) a huge biome with a lot to explore, also has its own DLC dino variants already added and I spotted a mini boss out in the wild in an open and untouched biome, it was a Karkinos that summoned swamp creature minions with sounds that the Megapithecus makes when summoning minions haha, strange. There is also a Redwoods like biome that looks great, it is however the complete other side of the map to the other biome and in between both biomes there are no unfinished and very empty areas with nothing but creature spawns. This map was so close to making the list but due to the fact of the lack of biomes I left it off, it has A LOT of potential!
- ASA-Descent -
LOVE the idea, would be awesome to have a map that rivals Aberration, but it is very empty and needs A LOT of work, wouldn't recommend playing it in its current state.
- Ice Age -
Love the idea of the map as I love the snow biome in general, looks great with some awesome looking map and structural work, would prefer it to actually be colder XD as it is far too warm in some areas. Does have bosses and artifacts added to the map, however there are no artifact caves, the artifacts are found in the open world (like Crystal Isles) Which I wasn't a fan of, it needs artifact caves in my opinion and finally last thing I did notice was I could not find 1 metal rock, obsidian rock, crystal node or Silica Pearls, definitely needs addressing as it is the snow biome, which all these resources are typically full of.
- Nyrandil -
Another map that has a lot of potential, but has lack of biome variety, I believe there is one or two biomes in total that do look great, I really like the map designer's style, loads of cool ruins and
beautiful landscape being developed, it will be up the top of my list in the future no doubt if it keeps on being updated.
- ALPS Test Map - Could be a large map and a cool one at that, has a large castle in the middle of the map (which is very well made) but I didn't find a complete biome, extremely empty. Wouldn't recommend playing it in its current state, could have a great future if all biomes get completed but are so far away from that right now.
-ARKopolis (Update) - I have been told world bosses do actually spawn over the map!! Which is great news. I didn't see any of them while exploring in Single Player for hours! Typical terrible Single Player spawn mechanics I guess XD also, apologies for butchering the name too, all my time playing it I didn't realise it was called ARK-op-olis and reading it as ARKpolis, my bad!!
- Silver Nortica -
Seems to have 1 biome, doesn't seem finished, it's okay but nothing special...needs more, flare and just needs more. would not recommend playing currently.
- Reverence -
Could have potential in the future, love the feel of the map, biomes are all basically there but I do feel it needs a lot more uniqueness (if that's even a word) to the biomes themself to add more character and make them stand out over other maps in this video. Could be playable but still abit too empty to me.
- ARK Nirvana - REALLY cool idea, I love it! Even though I don't really like cartoon like things, has a lot of potential but just like most of these does need a lot of work.
- AFL Crystal Coast -
Lots of structures, loads of ugly pixels over screen, weird and framey as anything, would not recommend in its current state at all, kind of cool ideas for a map nonetheless but it needs a LOT of work to fix whatever it is i'm seeing on screen XD.
