    There's two ways to view Exoprimal. It can be one of these forgettable horde co-op games you've seen over and over again, or you can realize it's an imaginative game about fantasizing with power. It weaponizes its narrator and its engine to deliver dinosaurs in sheer numbers as a primal tool of power and genuine, unadulterated, nerdy fun. The worst part of it is it takes a painful while to do its magic, but oh boy does it do wonders afterwards. [Recommended]
  2. As for Exoprimal's dreaded live service elements, they are exactly what you'd expect: a battle pass filled with coins and dangly bits for your guns and zebra skins and dance emotes. A cash shop. All aggressively vanilla, but at least it's not pay-to-win, I suppose. Otherwise, there isn't all that much to chase aside from a couple of new mech suits or some fairly dull upgrades. If you're after a team based shooter where you zone out for a bit and don't care for much else, then you'll have a lot of fun here. Anyone else who's after a serious new hero shooter? Eh, it's not going to inspire anything other than mostly frustration. Here's hoping the devs at least remove the early story grind, then maybe, just maybe, it might be a path to something better... if it hasn't gone extinct by then.

    The game wouldn't bad if it weren't for that awful off-center camera. Character needs to be in the center of the screen.

    Dino crisis fans wanted something new, what they got was exoprimal which is basically overwatch with dinosaurs, the PvE is basically noneDino crisis fans wanted something new, what they got was exoprimal which is basically overwatch with dinosaurs, the PvE is basically none existent since its basically coupled with PvP oh and did i mention loot boxes? Battle passes and a pay to boost system?

    Lacking map variety also hurts replayability, and graphically eyecandy is just okay. If you are a dino crisis fan then, I feel for you. This is the game you didnt want, nor deserved. For this to be better, it needs more game modes, separate pvp entirely from pve, drop the Microtransactions and more maps then it maybe be worth a second look.

    Extra XP for pass owners
    Extra XP for people who win constantly

    What this means is players level up faster, reach the higher better content, and gain more weapons to use compared to those who don't own the pass and or lose a lot.

    If this was f2p it would've been ok but $60?
