Teamwork is vital as you adopt the role of one of the survivors, using a combination of weapons, abilities and skills to take on the vast number of enemies. Mutated dinosaurs have destroyed humanity, and the few survivors left have fled to space. Through short but intense guerilla missions, your specialized fireteam is being sent back to Earth to pick the invasion force apart. It’s time to take back our planet. Take on the role of one of the resistance fighters and team up with up to two other survivors to hit the enemy where it hurts. Combine your unique abilities, weapon loadouts and equipment for explosive results. These dinosaurs are nothing like our history books indicated, with strange mutations that make them even more lethal. From electric raptors to behemoth t-rexes that tower over their smaller brethren, these vile creatures are hard to take down. [Microsoft] Expand

    Second Extinction disappoints as an unoriginal multiplayer dino shooter with an uneven difficulty, unbalanced weapons and mind-numbingly repetitive missions. [Early Access Review Score = 60]

    Second Extinction is very much a Left 4 Dead stablemate, but it stands on its own thanks to its enemy variety and compelling atmosphere. [Early Access Review Score = 75]

    It may have an Early Access label on it, but Second Extinction’s 3vDinos co-op action is already plenty of fun and full of intense moments. [Early Access Review Score = 70]

    Offered at 24.99 euros (excluding promotion) in early access, the Avalanche Studios software deserves your full attention. [Early Access Score = 70]

    imo this is an amazing crossover between left for dead, death stranded if it was enjoyable, and games like borderlands. it's a TON of fun, even if it might be a little bit grindy if you can't find a team mate. the basic gameplay loop is immensely fun and engaging.

After download, I was unable to create an account with Apex that would allow me to play for two days. Since then, things have been running rather smooth, except for occasional glitches in the handling of missions; when tasked with killing 80 raptors, the counter stopped at 45; only aborting and restarting the mission helped. After submitting a ticket to support I was contacted by a dev within hours to provide more details.

    In general, however, I am rather chuffed with game-play and challenge/reward ratios. I can see my enthusiasm getting exhausted eventually with the limited numbers of options/tasks/challenges, but I recognize this is early days for this game. The game has potential, I will definitely come back regularly to check on its development.

Si bien aún está en acceso anticipado, ya se nota que será otro juego que no aporta nada a lo ya existente. Orientado a estar repleto de micropagos, no hagan ni tal con perder tiempo con este juego. El diseño de los dinosaurios es horrible, son una mezcla entre zombis de PS2 y un dinosaurio de película de bajo presupuesto. Le pongo un 3 y estoy siendo generoso. Expand

    Would love to like this, however its runs like crap and has a really laggy feel to the controls.
