Exoprimal

"Exoprimal is a somewhat fun action shooter that can’t decide what it wants to be. What potential fun there is to be had in its awesome PvE boss fights and horde-mode missions are bogged down by tacked-on and unfun PvP-elements …"

"The roadmap ahead for Exoprimal is bright. New Exosuits, game modes, and more are in the works. With just a little more content, Exoprimal could become something huge. As it currently stands, it is an addictive and greatly enjoyable experience …"

"With a simple style of play that can become boring soon and with the need to repeat a couple of scenarios several times to move forward and unlock their game styles little by little, Exoprimal becomes Capcom&s;s first setback in …"

"Exoprimal has several merits, including making dinosaur hunting fun and challenging fights between exosuits. At the same time, however, Capcom has made several mistakes, such as focusing on only one mode and launching a game that cannot entertain in the …"

"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 …"

"What&s;s already on the table is a lot of fun and reasonably spectacular for any shooter fan. The question is: will it be enough to sustain interest for weeks?"

"Exoprimal is a great video game, with fun gameplay and a lot of potential, but it has been stuck in that, a game with potential. The lack of content and its lack of life in intentionality makes it one more …"

"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&s;ll be squaring off with thousands of ravenous raptors, rampaging T-Rexes, sniper Neosaurs, barrages of …"

"Exoprimal is a multiplayer shooter with bags of potential. A good round has all the thrills of Overwatch&s;s PvP wrapped up with the brain-massaging mayhem of Earth Defense Force or Dynasty Warriors, but it&s;s so slow about getting you invested …"

"Nevertheless, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a lot of fun with Exoprimal. With its satisfying shooting, well-designed co-op, and unique yet lighthearted narrative and tone, Capcom’s team-based shooter can often be a genuine thrill, especially when …"

"It&s;s a sight for saur eyes, but not quite enough to make Exoprimal essential. There&s;s real cleverness to the PvPvE balance, and to how Leviathan modifies that one, core mode as the game unfolds, but after 15 hours, it still …"

"Exoprimal is a decidedly original PvEvP, with various game modes able to guarantee always different matches, although undoubtedly the most exciting are those in which there are direct clashes with the opposing team. The story is pleasant to follow, and …"

"Exoprimal is both familiar and unique, with intense gameplay, tight controls, and an interesting mix of PVE and PVP gameplay. The sheer number of characters offers a lot of interesting ways to approach the game, and the ability to shift …"

"While its basics are solid, and its story surprisingly interesting, Exoprimal leaves something to be desired. With a limited amount of PvP and PvE missions, and average maps, the excellent visual and combat design of the Exosuits and the occasional …"

"It may have the brains of a dodo, but that’s what I find so endearing about it. It’s a flightless bird that carries itself with the confidence of a swan."

"Exoprimal is a cooperative shooter characterized by excellent gameplay, but which desperately needs more content due to excessive repetitiveness of the matches."

""There&s;s simply not enough variation here to keep Exoprimal feeling fresh after a dozen or so hours""

"Exoprimal is a strong game that lacks the it-factor necessary to keep players coming back for the long-term. It has incredible combat and aesthetics that are a joy to engage with but that enjoyment only lasts so long when it …"

"Exoprimal keeps its cards close, saving some of its best moments for later."

"It’s Jurassic Earth Defense Overwatch War Z and it looks like it should be bad but it isn’t. I can’t be anything but impressed by that."

"For a game with many flaws, Exoprimal has no business being this fun. From seesawing PVP encounters to large boss raids toward endgame, Exoprimal serves up plenty of dino-blasting fun once the game’s full experience opens up. The question is …"

"Surprisingly effective it may be at crafting a simple-but-enticing loop of gameplay, Exoprimal&s;s shallow variety and unclear methods of progression land Capcom&s;s latest in a middle-ground of being both entertaining and heavily flawed."

"Where life finds a way, Exoprimal has lost its purpose. Defined by boring combat and a lack of innovation, I&s;m left feeling like that Brachiosaurus in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – hopeless and yearning for more."

"Exoprimal has fantastic PvE content and an intriguing story, but its focus on competitive modes hurts its attractiveness to newcomers, and its lack of offline capabilities might eventually kill the game entirely. It has the potential to be so much …"

"Capcom is trying to have its cake and eat it, too, with Exoprimal by using its story to lure more general fans while hoping the loop keeps hardcore multiplayer fans for the long haul. I’m not sure that will work; …"

"Exoprimal is fun in short doses, and there&s;s absolutely a foundation to build on here. Like many live service games, this could be something very special in a few months."

"Exoprimal&s;s unique take on the hero shooter genre is a bold one – with its best modes and surprises hidden deep within its goofy sci-fi story – but a variety of fun exosuits, the simple appeal of tearing through thousands …"

"Exoprimal provides plenty of short-term fun, but the fact it is encased in the worst aspects of a live service game make it difficult to love."

"Exoprimal&s;s dreadful narrative and foundational mishaps drain the life out of the fun to be had, leading to one of Capcom&s;s roughest outings in recent years."

"Unfortunately, the pacing is slower than a triceratops wading through a tar pit. Cooler dinos and greater objective variety should keep players coming back for more, but they&s;re unfortunately locked behind a story that&s;s more tedious than Jurassic World and …"

"The beginnings of a PvPvE cult hit. Extinct animal slaughter is fundamentally fun, but the foundations are sparse."

"The exosuites and great customization mechanics stand out the most, you can truly make something your own. However that alone isn&s;t enough to keep player coming back. Exoprimal needs to more to fill the large empty spaces."

"A white-knuckle fusion of Overwatch 2 and Gears of War, the excellent Exoprimal is one of the best co-op shooters in quite some time. With a varied, entertaining roster of characters, all with unique playstyles and synergies, there&s;s tactical depth …"

"So much about this game is questionable, from the backwards ass way the narrative is presented to just having one mode available at launch to the inclusion of a battle pass. I don’t get it one bit, but Exoprimal is …"

"Exoprimal’s biggest strength is that it’s easy to get friends into, and you’re basically guaranteed to have a decent time whether you win or lose."
