    if they add more game modes like a full survival mode in a city full of dinos then this game could get unto the 9 scores.
    the suits are awesome, the setting/story is refreshing, the gameplay is really arcade-like. its just something unique to play. people should not give such low ratings, that hurts the playerbase in long term, and making the game end up not getting more content.    … Expand

    The game requires me to register with Capcom ID. But that doesn't work because of an error message. As a result, I can't even get into the game. It couldn't be worse.

    The story isn't revolutionnary but entertaining nevertheless. But that's not why you're here, it's to kill dinosaurs ! The more you play the more you unlock new dinosaurs to kills, new species, new modifications (poisoned, on fire, freezing, etc). You also have boss battle where it's 10 players againsts big bosses or huges waves of dinosaurs where you need to be coordinated.

    The games are quite sort more or less 10 minutes to 15 minutes so it's a good game to hop on for few games quickly.

    My main grip with the game is that you can't skip cutscenes that you already seen. You also are very dependent on your teamates to play as a team, and play objectives which sometimes can be a pain in the ass.

    You can play as 10 differents exosuits that are separated in damage, tank and support. All play very disctintivly from each others and on august 16th, each ones will get a variant mode that will allow even more customization, in additions to mods alreay available.

    The game is very generous with cosmectics most are available with ingame currency, you only have a battle pass for 7 bucks, and few bundles arround 3 bucks containing a set of cosmetics for some exosuits. You also have loot boxes ala overwatch givings various cosmetics and ingame currency.

    The game is amazing, fun, mindless, generous and available on gamepass ! The devellopers alreay showed a roadmap including new maps, collaborations with street figher and monster hunter, more exosuits variants, and a PvE competitive mode.    … Expand

Point of the game is to work with oyur team to complete objectives for a malevolent AI and their summoned hordes of dinos. As a standalone game, you could do a lot worse as it offers a unique bit of gameplay, the 9 classes all play a bit differently from one another even though they mainly fall within the holy trinity of dps, tank, and heals, and the progression through each match varies a bit each time through. Combat and gameplay also feels pretty smooth. Characters have a little bit of personality, and the storyline, while starting a bit slow, does pick up well for the climax battle at the end.

    That being said, there are some issues. There is only one main game mode, Dino Survival, where you need to play over and over again to progress in the story, which can feel very repetitive. Random teams also don't know what classes others are playing until they are in the match, and matchmaking doesn't balance roles from the get go, so if one gets stuck with a poor team comp and noone changes to a needed role, the already repetitive matches can feel like a miserable slog. Some missions also force direct PvP even if PvE preference is selected, which really can feel rough for some, especially given how the nature of PvP begets the worst kinds of people.

    Limitations aside, what they do have feels very polished. There are minimal bugs, and servers have been quite stable from the release. The PvE race aspect of the game is quite fun, and the raid bosses, which pit all 10 players in the match against waves of enemies along with some specialty super dinos, feel challenging and have a lot of a fun factor. The price point is also a little cheaper than the current $70 trend + $30+ season pass for games as it comes at a $50 base game cost. Is it worth it at the release price? Ehhh, maybe. Really depends on if they follow through on the post-release addition promises. Definitely worth it if on sale though.

    Overall though, one can certainly do worse when it comes to an arcadey class-based mission shooter. Far too many are comparing it to games like Overwatch where the only similarity is that the characters are class-based (with 1-2 classes being amalgamations of multiple other classes). Honestly, the game really should be taken at it's own merits as it does find itself it's own niche, and it certainly has future potential.    … Expand

    You can very easily tell who actually played this game. If they tell you that the game mode never changes, they barely played it. It's not perfect, it's best in class though for this genre. And they have way more planned for it. Capcom does it again.

    The game is amazing. Don't let the negative reviews deter you from playing it. The reason so many people quit playing is because they don't understand how the story mode works. The more you play, the more the story progresses, which means you unlock more PvE/PvP content. Just play, have fun killing dinos, and progress!

    The first thing you need to know is that what the game presents to you at first is not the entirety of the game. More and more content opens up the more you play. If I were to base my review on just the first hour of gameplay I'd probably give it a low C/high D. But once you get to the first real boss, the Neo T-Rex, this game becomes a legitimate blast!

    The story is so ridiculous, that it gives me the same joy I get from watching a B action movie. It's goofy but I still feel invested.

    Being a full price game while having a battle pass definitely leaves a bad taste however and the UI has a lot to be desired. I recommend checking it out on Game Pass first!    … Expand

    the gameplay isn`t revolutionary but it works very well, besides the variation between the matches (which by progressing the story you unlock more stuff) is preatty well done, the exosuits and fight against dinossaurs feels good and fun, even against other players, yes you essentially are competing with other players but this is a stuff that even turning off your brain you still can have fun playing it.
    the story is not a masterpiece but is definately good, some may not like the format or the story overhaul but you can just skip it and go for what it matters if you may want it.
    for monetization part, a battle pass which shouldn`t be there but it is, buy how want it, as for the loot box is totally a free reward after each lv, so is actually not bad the monetization on this game.

    overhaul, is a nice game to have fun, the raids and bosses are awesome to play and is really addicting with the current stuff it haves for now, if you have a gamepass, definately worth a try or wait for the promotion, even though did pre order it, the current price should be lower, but still I`m satisfied with the game, hope the best for this game in future    … Expand

Exoprimal is, simply put, a pretty game with fun gameplay for a few hours and then it's boring. Yes, new maps and objectives unlock as you play but which one you'll get is random and the pool of options is incredibly small to start. The variety starts to come in too late and there frankly isn't enough of it. As others have said the PvE portion of most maps feels pointless and also kind of bad, despite also being the more fun part most matches. Doing well in the PvE gives your team a head start on the PvP section that is rendered immediately useless if one team is simply better at pvp. The respawn times are long and there's no real comeback mechanics in play. One team wipe is often all it takes. The PVP itself is... okay. But there seems to be no real matchmaking. Even in the very first game I played with friends we played against a guy in an exo that needed level 40 or $15 to unlock... who also had several level 5 mods installed. We didn't even have mods unlocked. They made a noticeable difference.

    3 of the exos are locked behind a rather steep grind unless you want to pay another $15 on top of the $60 price tag as well. (The game is also on gamepass, but that's still no excuse).

    The story isn't bad but it's told in a really sporadic and piecemeal way that feels more interrupting than anything when trying to play with friends especially if they're not on the exact same step as you. There's no real progression outside of the mods. The exos have 100% set weapons and abilities (except their secondary rig, which are a universal pool all mechs have access to) and it gets pretty stale pretty fast. The sad truth is the game just has no content at the start, trickles in a meager amount more as you sink more and more hours into it. It has greedy microtransactions designed to get you past a very tedious grind. The cosmetics are full on skins and can't be used piece by piece. What kind of mech game is so rigid in its customization?

    The game might get better. Their road map doesn't look bad. But I'm not rating a game on what it might become. I'm rating a game on what it is.

    And what it is, is a repetitive, shallow experience that's probably good for a few hours on gamepass with friends and then forgotten about until it gets a leviathan sized level of updates.    … Expand

    Influenced by the legendary Dino Crisis franchise, Exoprimal is a surprisingly fun and engaging game. Despite some repetitive missions and an occasionally unstable connection, I can safely say that Exoprimal is one of the most enjoyable titles in 2023.

    I can’t deny the fun factor of Exoprimal, but for this to be a great game, they need to address the shortcomings of their cross-play. So here’s the TLDR, would I pay sixty dollars for Exoprimal? No… It’s a forty-dollar game at best right now. If you don’t have Xbox Game Pass, Personally, I would wait for it to go on sale.

    Exoprimal's gameplay is truly excellent and visually we have nothing to complain about either. Still, it feels a bit limited in terms of content and although this will be expanded in time, it is a bit too sparse for now. We also do not appreciate the focus on microtransactions, considering it is a full-priced game. Finally, the audio is disappointing, which is a shame. Thus, the many positives also have a downside. Nevertheless, because of its fine gameplay, Exoprimal is worthwhile in its own right.
