    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It has a strong taste of free to play game, I would suggest this game to be free instead of paying 3A price for this game based on what they are offering right now. seriously, not worth to pay… Expand

    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.

    Capcom, seriously? The game feels outdated and clunky, battles are chaotic and drown down to smashing buttons furiously (and inevitably getting hit since there is no parry and evade is a skill). The graphics are decent but there are no destructible environment (unless you are a dinosaur). C’mon, it’s 2024!

If I shoot a puny wooden bench in a park with an exosuit’s rifle I should rightfully expect the thing to dissolve into smithereens! Same thing for trees and cars. Combat is disappointing and unsatisfactory, especially for the assault classes (which you will probably soon give up in favor of one of the shooters). There are no ways to do combos nor parry and you will get inevitably damaged if you try to fight in close quarters! Unless you have a witch doctor spawning curing spells, every close combat class is quite a clunky mess. And now, the biggest disappointment: ONLY ONE LEVEL!! Seriously? We paid $59 and all we get to fight is the same battle in the same level with the same tired objectives! And, in case you want to buy more suits and customizations, everything is a micro transaction! And now the nail in the coffin: Leviathan. The boring AI that is supposed to be ominous (but instead is a joke) has to do its boring spill every time you start a game, in a tiring procession of teleportations and repetitive voice overs saying “you are fighting faster/slower than the other team”. The game looked great in the trailers but what was deliver yesterday is a fraud!… Expand

    You cannot be serious!?! This should be a free to play game. Thye are charging full retail then want more money for battlepass,cosmetics and extra suits lol!! Greed,Greed and more Greed.

    And the game itself..wowee what a boring bare bones yawn fest. You have seen everything the game has to offer after the first match.

    Game should have been free to play or on PS+. This price is NOT worth it. The gameplay loops is fine, but it’s bare bones. Not even after years of additional content would I pay this price. XB players got a deal, PS got robbed.

    in the end it's a good multiplayer game that's very fun, but it absolutely shouldn't have come out for 60 euros, you can't make me pay that amount for a game and put in it: battle pass, lootbox, exp boost, cosmetic bundle, basically a free to play structure. in fact at present the game is worth the "ticket" only on gamepass.

    it doesn't want and never wanted to be dinocrisis so it's useless to criticize It for this, they are 2 projects that have no ties.
    the story is terrible but it's just a pretext, you can't expect an oscar-worthy writing based on "mechs vs dinosaurs" premise. the armors are very nice, fun gameplay, ai to improve.

    pros:
    -mech armor are great
    -gameplay is fast and fun

    With:
    -heavy monetization in a game sold at full price
    - the story is terrible
    -ia of the dinosaurs Need improvement

    fun and chaotic but it had to be released as free to play, release it at full price, well that's a deranged choice    … Expand

    Game is ok, but becomes boring after a short while. Its very similar to other co-op game as well, nothing to make it stand out to other games. Will be higher rated if there are more content in future, but I can only give it a 4 for what is available now.

    Good-
    Sharp presentation and visuals with rock solid performance, even during hectic scenarios. Combat is fun, with each Exosuit feeling unique and controlling well. Good variety to dinosaurs. Interesting premise and plot. A few missions that deviate away from PvEvP are very fun.
    Bad- Objectives can get very repetitive, and sticking to PvE limits them even more. Story-telling is    Good-

    Bad-
    Objectives can get very repetitive, and sticking to PvE limits them even more. Story-telling is disjointed due to the Access Map and requiring data to uncover more. Bizarre UI that feels unwieldy at times and annoying at others. Horrendous and unfunny dialogue at times. Reliance on BikCoins for everything feels limiting. No "true" PvE, and Dominators feel very annoying to deal with.

    Thoughts-
    Of course, this is a live service title and more content will be added later, but you have to wonder how often this same formula can be repeated – with the developer “fixing” things post-launch. Whether Exoprimal will have a robust enough player base remains to be seen. For now, if you want to slay dinosaurs with cool mech suits and can deal with all the flaws, Exoprimal may be worth a quick look but not much else.    … Expand

    A game with solid gameplay mechanics, interesting roster of dinosaurs and exosuits, and a bearable monetization scheme.

    The story is interesting, albeit a little inconsistent and complicated. A more robust database section would be appreciated, with info about the different dinosaurs, exosuit stats, and player stats.

The main character has no dialogue, though the pacing and timing of conversations makes it feel as if it was planned to be in the game but was cut.

    The main gameplay loop is initially a little boring, but as the story progresses it spices up a fair bit with the introduction of new dinosaurs and game objectives.

    Pure PvE and PvP modes are missing, but may be planned for release in the next few months.

    Honestly the game is pretty good as far as everything "game" goes, with the BIGGEST negative being the $60 price tag without the content to back it up. If the game was free-to-play like Warframe, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat, but unfortunately it is not. Right now I can only recommend checking out the game for free on Game Pass, and maybe waiting 2 or 3 months until the content in the game starts to be worth closer to $60.    … Expand

    Actually a really fun game, especially for a short brainless Dino slaughter season.
    Only problems the game have are the fact that there is only 1 Game mode (currently) which makes it seem a bit empty.
    Also the Customization is not really there.
    Yes you can build a little bit but can’t do stuff that really sticks out or changes the way of how to play that character

    Even after powering through the boredom and finishing about 15 matches this is not getting any better because the core limited gameplay is the problem here plus the unappealing characters and story no more time wasted on this garbage

    The RE engine is totally outdated by now which explained the disaster that is this game - Poor visuals and horrible performances and stuttering, shallow and uninspired gameplay, inconsistent and bad online connections, and so on.

    Capcom please develop a new engine already to compete in the modern era!

    The story is interesting but becomes bland and boring after a few minutes, the problem is it's very repetitive, the content is very few unless you play online games to move the story. Each play is from 10-15 mins. If you want something to get addicted to and don't mind the repetitive play, this is the game for you, else go play something else.

    Has potential and needs work. Will Capcom do it like others have?
    The suits are cool but how are you gonna balance with a team of Randoms?
    The nagging AI is annoying and also is a bit meta and makes you ask why you're playing this game? The other team is faster.... Yeah got it shut up lol... And there is the key issue. Even the pve is pvp. I'm more a solo gamer soo.... Exoprimal isn't    Has potential and needs work. Will Capcom do it like others have?

    This is a very fun action arcade style game. Each suit plays differently and team composition matters. It's like Overwatch but with a PVE making up 80% of the game and PVP making up the other 20% of the modes you play.

It has 10 player raids, 5v5 PVEVP race to finish the objectives first modes, and then PVEVP modes where each team plays against each other with the ability to kill one another directly as they race to finish their objectives. Modes for the direct PVP sections are Deliver the payload, smash pillars with your teams hammer, and collect data points. The PVP sections are my personal favorites and actually require some good team composition to win. So far I'm about 35 games in and I'm having tons of fun.

    The games low points are no load outs (you can create builds for each suit and having to customize that before you go into a match and not be able to switch to a different build mid game when you can switch suits is a bummer). You can't skip in match cutscenes. The story unfolds across static screens with Voice over for 80% of it with a cutscene once in awhile.    … Expand

    Have low expectations but managed to beat that - Bland game got old in less than an hour.

    Capcom is drunk and released a low content F2P game for full price. Could be a pricing mistake and will change score once they fix this.

    Why wasn’t this game made available via my PS+ subscription….. I thought Sony PlayStation had the marketing rights for this game as it was announced during a PlayStation event …… not happy paying RRP to play the same game as my friends on alternative platforms!! Sony should do better for those that invest in their ecosystem!!

    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.
