Exoprimal

Take out your trusty armored umbrellas because the forecast is cloudy with the chance of...dinosaurs?! To elaborate, this is a short abstract of the absurdly sounding Exoprimal. A multiplayer PvE/PvP title with not only handful of innovative game design instances and captivating story that requires activation of the gray brain matter, but also thousands of angry reptiles, who are more than ready to eat off your limbs and head. With time traveling, mischievous AI and many real-world parallels, this is truly a blast from the past! (pun intended)

Exoprimal makes a terrible first impression, but stick with it and it soon blossoms into a bonkers, senses-blasting, and ludicrously fun shooter. By the endgame, you'll be squaring off with thousands of ravenous raptors, rampaging T-Rexes, sniper Neosaurs, barrages of laser fire, and players popping off crazy ultimate moves. It's just a shame you have to grind through a very repetitive and limited opening to get there.

At its most intense, Exoprimal is aakin to playing an EDF game without the accompanying performance issues. [Issue#388, p.100]

Held up by its superb class system and the intrinsic elation that comes with melting prehistoric lizards with a railgun, Exoprimal is unfortunately let down by a lacklustre story offering, anemic number of modes and a question over its longevity. While those drawbacks will put some people off, those fond of firing a grenade right up a Stegosaurus’ hide will be laughing long into their dozens of hours of playtime.

The wild fight against dinosaurs and the opposing team offers a wide variety of classes, but becomes monotonous far too quickly.

Exoprimal will be a rollercoaster of surprises for the majority of players. Making your way through the fifty-or-so matches it takes to hit credits, experiencing all the spectacle on display in this curveball of a game, is in my opinion worth the cost of admission for Game Pass users, and perhaps at a discount for all others. It'll remain a presence on my PS5 home screen, for now at least.

Exoprimal is a prehistoric relic of its own making, and a harsh but necessary lesson for a developer who has been sitting atop the pile for far too long. Future seasons could salvage the flashes of excellence on display here, but I doubt players will stick around long enough for that to become a reality. And to think we could have had a new Dino Crisis instead.

I don't understand the hate since this does exactly what it sets out to do.

An impeccably made multiplayer dino shooter, Exoprimal has all of the right stuff, but, with only a single mode to play over and over again, it can get quite repetitive rather quickly. TGG – 7/ 10 AUDIO7/10 Somewhat okay tunes that soon fade into the background, perfectly fine voice work, perfectly loud and explosive sound effects and dino roaring. Perfectly fine. VISUALS 8/10 Capcom's RE Engine does the job once again, ensuring that Exoprimal looks quite marvellous as it spawns hundreds of prehistoric beasties into its world. PLAYABILITY 8/10 An immediate, pick-up-and-play shooter that proves consistently enjoyable, even after tens of hours of gameplay. Each exosuit is distinct, helping to mix things up. DELIVERY 6/10 At launch, Exoprimal has only one mode, and the story isn't exactly compelling enough to pull you through. Thankfully, the gameplay will keep you coming back.

Actually a really fun game, especially for a short brainless Dino slaughter season. Only problems the game have are the fact that there is only 1 Game mode (currently) which makes it seem a bit empty. Also the Customization is not really there. Yes you can build a little bit but can’t do stuff that really sticks out or changes the way of how to play that character

Sooo how did we get here? This came could and should have been the next overwatch but when over watch was good but instead we get a mess. A microtransactions mess. At full price. With extra live service **** full price. FULL PRICE unless it's on game pass where it's free. Play when free. Hard pass until then. Shane on capcom for ruining this fun cool dino robo romp! GREED :(

Game is ok, but becomes boring after a short while. Its very similar to other co-op game as well, nothing to make it stand out to other games. Will be higher rated if there are more content in future, but I can only give it a 4 for what is available now.
