    As it is, it is still a blast to play, interrupted by quick frustrations that come from missed attacks that can completely stop an assault. If you are looking for a hectic hack-n-slash boss fighting game, Extinction is absolutely worth picking up. Those who can be quickly frustrated from bugs, however, may want to wait for a couple of patches.

    This is an absolute horror show of a game and I cannot recommend anybody buy it or even accept it for free. Sod this Attack on Titan ripoff.

    I was waiting for this game, seriously, all my expectation were destroyed when I saw first gameplay !! Why to do such an amazing cgi trailerI was waiting for this game, seriously, all my expectation were destroyed when I saw first gameplay !! Why to do such an amazing cgi trailer if the game is a piece of garbage? And you ask 60$... If this was a mobile game for 5$ (and it is looking like an 150 MB mobile game) it will worth 5$ but, 60$ for a PS4 game presented on E3. I'm so disapointed... 0/10!!! You don't deserve even 1/10...… Full Review »

    I had high hopes for this game but in the end my expectations weren't met. It's obvious a lot of love went into making this game but it reallyI had high hopes for this game but in the end my expectations weren't met. It's obvious a lot of love went into making this game but it really needed more time in developpement to be released.
    The movements aren't fluid, you get stopped by bystanders. 25% of the time you won't climb the monsters and you'll get crushed instead.
    The story feel pretty tacked on and you can see the use of the procedural generation even in the story mode. You often won't be able (or it'll be almost impossible) to complete some side missions because of the randomness of the enemy sent after you.
    The game desperately needs more content. I was baffled to see a map or level editor wasn't available. This would go a long way to ensure replayability, at least more than randomly generated skirmishes.
    Not worth $60, maybe not even $30. Get it when it's $20 or they added some content, if they even bother.
    All in all, a real shame.    … Full Review »

    First off, I will admit that I rented this game from Family Video...I did not want to take a chance on paying $60 for an IP I know nothingFirst off, I will admit that I rented this game from Family Video...I did not want to take a chance on paying $60 for an IP I know nothing about. Not only am I happy that I did not buy this game, but furthermore, I am happy that I only rented it for 2 days instead of 5.
    I expected more from Extinction, I thought that a game charging full price would have enough content to justify that price, but I was wrong. You play a "nobody" hero defending a bunch of "nobody" people from a whole mess of "nobody" monsters. While there is potential in some of the gameplay mechanics, the repetition of the game greatly outweighs any clever mechanic.
    There are 3 modes that play exactly the same, the only difference is that in one mode you can't respawn and in the other mode the levels are randomly generated...but the core gameplay is exactly the same. While it's not the worse game of all time, it is at the top of my personal list of bad games that I have played so far this year. Maybe with the season pass content (yes, they have a season pass too) they will introduce a new gamemode that does not involve "filling up your rune meter and saving civilians". We shall see. I would wait until this one goes on a %80 off sale to buy it.    … Full Review »
