    This game is an extremely refreshing Multiplayer game that either People are upset its not dino crisis or only played it for an hour and grouped it in with all the pay to win games. The loot boxes can not be bought with real money and the only thing asking for extra $ is the battlepass to get the goofy looking outfits for most characters.

That is yet to be seen but currently Exoprimal is my biggest surprise game of the year. A sleeper for sure!    … Expand

    Ok so this game is more of a 8/10 but I know many will boot it up, play a match or two, and think it has no variety, maps, etc.. I thought the same thing but the AI Chat GPT narrator/DM made a 10 player co op raid where it combined the two teams (that usually compete against another) into an epic boss fight that was not easy and lasted nearly 20 minutes.

    We barely beat the boss and I thought "WOW that was one of the most fun moments I've had in Co op in a long time". Sure the story is oddly placed behind secret files you randomly get through playing and it will seem like your going through the same maps at the start but eventually things start changing and new enemies appear, along with new bosses and hopefully more 10 player raids.

    Gameplay is fast and well optimized I locked at 60FPS on high settings at 1440p and GPU use is low 30's(3070). IMO game needs some balancing as rigs like Barrage are so OP he can hold down entire lanes by himself while others struggle. Also game has no team reqs as you will spawn in and everyone is playing attack and no tank or healer is present or required. We have actually won matches with no healer as this is no overwatch meta.

    Now the Elephant in the room is the forced PVP, for me I actually enjoy it a lot as it brings something fresh to the horde mode shooters. I have had matches where we are losing badly and the enemy team gets cocky and decides to run over to our area to PVP and my char will team wipe them leaving their obj open to be destroyed for an easy comeback. Overall if you want a FUN co op and somewhat PVP horde mode shooter that is free on Gamepass def pick this up.    … Expand

The game itself is simple enough and easy to jump in and out of. It's one of those games that, especially when you're burnt out on the min-maxing of Diablo, finishing the story of FF16, or getting a little tired of your typical shooter, this one is a great alternative to play until your next big title.

    You really have to give this game a little bit of time to flesh itself out. That isn't to say "you have to play for the game to get good" because I don't agree with that method. This game is intentionally staggering how much you have access to early on as a sort of easing-in of the mechanics and systems you'll run into the more you play. There is a firm "play this many games" system that unlocks further maps, dinosaurs, and mods for each exosuit that is intended to serve as a sort of tutorial of the game. It's well worth the time and becomes easily addicting.

    All that said, the story is fairly interesting but isn't really necessary to follow. It's all about playing the game and enjoying the minute-to-minute.    … Expand

    "Ok so this game is more of a 8/10 but I know many will boot it up, play a match or two, and think it has no variety, maps, etc.. " exactly the game adapts and expands as you progress, The co-op nature is not to be understated this is a game where you can meet some great people and have blast shooting dinosaurs...and the other team. Great game.

    Don't believe these idiots saying there is only one map to play over and over. The game also has a story that progresses as you play, and more and more maps/dinos/raids open up as you get further. It is a great game, basically what I was hoping overwatch PVE would be.

    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.

    There's something to be had here. I wouldn't pay $70 for it, but it's Capcom so I had to give it a shot. Only reason it gets a 10 from me is the fact that it plays better on PS5, the best place to play, whereas the Series X, and Series S-Potato have tons of issues.

    Fantastic spot on gameplay. Story is meh but the reality is that this is a game that takes time to fulfill its potential. People giving it a 0 simply didn't give it the time it required. As you level the Exosuits and unlock more mods, you slowly become the badass mech the trailers promised. Graphically, it is not world shattering but is in no way bad.

Gameplay loops can get repetitive but the fact that every encounter is different coupled with the fact that you can swap suits on the fly makes this game a fun time sink which is what i believe Capcom intended it to be.

    I love dinosaurs and this game helps scratch that itch. Very fun when you have a full group of friends. The little I have done with random fills has also been good, no toxic people so far and actually fun groups. The roadmap also keeps me hopeful with how soon a lot is coming out for it.

    Anyone complaining about repetitive gameplay didn’t play long enough for it to open up. The more you play the more game modes and enemies you unlock. It’s brainless coop fun. What not could you ask for? Try it and you’ll understand.

    A flashy, fast and cool experience Exoprimal has players blasting away at the dinosaur hordes in their thousands. At its core the game is a lot of fun, but it suffers from the usual live service game downsides. How long will it be supported? How will the balancing change? These and other questions can really temper the otherwise fun shooty dinosaur filled experience.

    Matches are absolute dino-might but the progression system misses the mark. There’s a lot to love here, but the story gets in the way of the best bits. [Issue#31, p.90]

    Exoprimal is quite fun and shows much potential to be something more. However, the fact that it only has one game mode currently makes it quickly fall into repetitiveness.
