Lots of positive reviews and it looks interesting to me. I think I am
going to give this one a try.

I can't say I was too impressed; my memories of the game are running
around half-nude wacking at trees to make gear and getting killed by
other players. Lacking any overall plot, the games mechanics seemed
overly harsh and not much fun. Its felt like a bad copy of "Minecraft"
with prettier graphics. I don't even think I saw any dinosaurs.
Now, in fairness, I think the game was still in early access at the
time (ARK is one of the games that soured me on Early Access titles,
in fact).

Is this multi-player only or is there a decent single player game in it?

I am curious to try a survival game. I never did before and I have no
idea if I would like them or not. This is the entire reason I like
adding free games to my library. I can try games outside my comfort
zone and see if they click with me or not.
I will never do Early Access. I tend to do the exact opposite and wait
for a game to be really finished with all the inevitable DLC included.

IIRC, only online MP. Lots of grindings too when I tried it its free weekend.
I'd say give it a try. It's got good reviews, and - as you pointed out
- it's free; all you have to lose is some time. The only downside I
see to ARK is that it is probably not well suited to people new to the
genre, especially since (based on further reviews) its population
still likes to gank newbies. But since that's seemingly part and
parcel of all survival games nowadays, you may just have to
grin-n-bear it.
A better introduction to survival games I think would be Subnautica,
a game the Epic Game Store also gave away, as it's strictly a single
player game.
