Playing the full hour of the trial is just enough time to almost get the basics down. It's a survival game. You wake up on a beach almost naked and immediately need to survive. If you don't gather food and eat, you die. You don't drink, you die. Don't defend yourself, you die.
You will die a lot while learning. After the very strong learning curve, the game is awesome. You gather resources to make clothing, armor, tools, weapons, structures, defenses, etc. You tame Dino's which all have different purposes.
You can join or create and manage a tribe, then help each other survive, share resources an XP, etc. You can go to war with other tribes, plunder their riches, etc.
There are caves to raid and gain materials and artifacts. They are still adding things to the game. I highly recommend purchasing ark.

Seems like if you want to be even the least bit successful you'll have to devote lots of time. Plus....I saw someone punch a tree into pieces.

Yes, lots of time to get started. Once you're established it's really fun. In the beginning it's rough.

Looks enjoyable. I don't have the time, though. Plus, it bothers me more than it should that you punch trees apart.

Well, if it makes you feel any better about it, you basically get bark (thatch) when you punch trees and it does damage to you. Yeah, the trees fall down but that just represents that you can't harvest anything else from it. Time, yeah, I don't have time to play often either. I usually play once every week or two and I'll play most of the day. I just like gathering, crafting and building.
