    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't let other reviews tell you otherwise. The game isn't bad. Would I pay full price for the game? No. Would I get it on sale or through GamePass... Yes

    Pros:

    Addicting gameplay, level based progression, and decent suit abilities. No lag with hordes of animation and being attacked by 50 plus mobs. Multiple match variants unlocked by story progression. By reading reviews you can tell the fan base that wanted an instant gratification shooter. Cons:

    Feels unfinished, only 10 suits, half of which are just slightly different than the first model, no SBMM, repeatative gameplay to a point. Grinding at its finest. No role queue. Just thrown into random teams that no one wants to fill empty slots. The game takes place in the not so distant future, humanity is being attacked by time traveling dinosaurs. The main tech company runs Exo suits to combat these. The game should have featured two distinct storylines, one PvP, one PvE. PvP you discover what you discover in game now, PvE you fight to protect civilization. The game could have been so much, but falls short.

    Exorpimal é um PVP e PVE divertido, mas pode ser confuso no começo quanto seu gameplay, repetitivo e exaustivo pela falta de variedade de modos de jogo.

    Tive a oportunidade de jogar em beta no PC e sua versão final (Xbox Series), e muito do que eu acreditava quando fiz minha review do beta manteve na versão final, divertido, mas cansativo, podendo ser confuso no começo, os Exoesqueletos são bem legais, sendo variados em classes e estilos de combate únicos.
    O jogo conta com progressão de nível e passe de batalha, sua campanha não é “jogável”, sendo desbloqueado fragmentos da história conforme jogamos.
    Os combates são inicialmente em PVE, com 5 aliados buscando derrotar os diversos dinossauros na tela, e na fase final o jogo faz a mistura entre inimigos (dinossauros) e outros players, com o objetivo de terminar na frente da equipe adversaria.
    Vale a pena jogar, mas o preço afasta qualquer pessoa, talvez sendo F₂P teria um sucesso maior, pois, como eu disse, Exoprimal é divertido, mas por sua falta de conteúdo pode ser cansativo e repetitivo.

    Quien iba a pensar que dinosaurios +overwatch + competitivo +pve iba a dar como resultado un juego tremendamente original y divertido? Entrar sin expectativas e ir subiendo de nivel ordenadamente cada personaje me ha dado mucho diversión.

    I made an account JUST to review this game, because it deserves more credit than it's getting, and for someone else this might be what you need to see to actually know if you'd like it or not.

    What is it really?

    First of all, the game is camp as hell, but despite looking like 'Earth Defense Force with dinosaurs' it's actually a lot more like 'Vermintide, but sci-fi instead of fantasy.'

    Great Attention to Design!

    Additionally, it's smarter and more sharply designed than it has any right to be from initial impressions. For comparison, it's the best designed game I've played/finished since TUNIC! As 1 (of many) little examples; this game's version of 'that guy with the shield' is one of the most dynamic, involved, and fun versions of that I've ever played in any multiplayer game. He has a tangibility, weightiness, and momentum to his play that I haven't experienced in any other game with that sort of archetype/mechanics. Grinding a triceratops to a halt against your shield with jets firing out the back of your shield is undeniably great fulfillment of the aesthetic there and feels excellently impactful for the tanking role!

    The biggest detractors from the game are:

    1) That it's not more upfront with you about what it is and where the gameplay will be going
    2) That they keep the training wheels on a little long and throw you back into the most common game modes after showing you some of the other cool stuff it has in its back pocket
    3) That its monetization design ruined 1st impressions and goodwill by being too on-its-face greedy instead of just being a rad game at the right price point and then building from there

    What's it worth?

    So... if you like any of what I've said here, consider what you'd pay for that and then see if you can get it free on Game Pass or on sale enough to hit the right price point. Personally, I think this game should've aimed for the $40 price point without changing anything else, but a version with all 10 initial suits unlocked instead of 3/10 being behind a grind wall would have easily been worth $50-60 if you knew what to expect from the game - but that's why they should've aimed to crush the $40 price point instead and work from there! As is, I got it on game pass where it's obviously well worth at least giving it a try!

    I hope more people will circle back to give this one a try, because it deserves it, and it has a lot of potential (both gameplay and story, surprisingly...) for additional seasons!

    This game is alright. Good style just poor execution. Great for playing with a team of friends but if trying to play solo it just doesn't hit that threshold. Needs alot of improvements.

    This game is a lot of fun. Takes a bit to get going but once it does it gets very intense. After about match 10ish things start to change up a lot.

    It seems decent and has an interesting story for me to play to the end. But I'm sure its repetitive game modes would set other people off and they would most likely look up a YouTube video for the story.
    I'll be honest, I bet no one (including me) would even bother with this game if it weren't on Xbox Game Pass.
    Also, why do they have a season pass thing? They're not even F2P for pete

    All in all, it was nice but I don't see me playing it after beating it. It's kind of sad cause it had potential.

    Overall, Exoprimal is a great game that is sure to entertain The multiplayer is incredibly fun, the story telling is innovative, and the progression system is well-designed. However, the price of the game is a bit steep, and I would have preferred to see it priced at $40.

    This "game" is microtransaction and loot boxes hell, wouldn't be so bad if they were actually useful. Just bunch of useless items that you have to buy on top of the "game".

    Fun game! First few hours are a forced tutorial which is repetitive at first. The gameplay is fun right off the bat and after the first few hours the story progresses and is pretty good too! Overall a great game I’m sinking a lot of time in to!

    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.

    If only I had knew this garbage was on Game Pass, I wouldn't have wasted $60 on a game that should have been free to begin with. I won't be renewing this garbage anyway, so at least the $60 buys me more time to play this poor excuse of a game. I played this version too, so this entitles me to give you another 0 Capcom.

    This exo-suit sci-fi Destiny-esque garbage is oversaturated in online multiplayer games. Why don't these developers try a market that isn't overdone, like a GTA Online game? Oh that's right, they are too cheap and lazy for that. I don't recommend this game at all.

    Even as a free Gamepass title this isn't any good. There are tons of other free F2P games that are way better and more fun and more rewarding than this.

    Just a bunch of grinding and loot boxes for absolutely nothing.

    Game play is boring, not to mention I had a glitch that caused my items to bug out of existence. Honestly shouldn’t download this game until they patch a few things. So as of writing this I’m giving the game a 1.

    Game is great, yes you gotta repeate the same mode few times but as you progress the story board, you unlock allot more game modes especially raids! 10 players vs an insane dino with mechanics. Game is fun if you like killing hundreds of enemies at the same time on screen, fastest team wins!

    Fun game but they could explain that there's different game modes when reaching a certain point, the suits are seemingly well balanced and learning to play them is the fun part

    Overall, Exoprimal is quite a solid game even with its one mode. The amount of variety in the exosuits kept me coming back to the game often. The game has a lot of DLC, but all the exosuits can be unlocked by playing the game and leveling up each exosuit to a certain level. The game also has a good bit of free unlockables that you can get from collectible cards (basically a type of loot crate) in game. If Capcom could include a true campaign mode where you could play it solo or with a team of other players, I could see this franchise being just as good as Lost Planet 1 and 2 (mainly Lost Planet 2) in the long run. Definitely give this game a try if you like Capcom online shooters – I have a feeling you’ll like it if you’re willing to give around 5 hours for it to truly show you what it has to offer.

    Exoprimal is an interesting third-person shooter that sadly misses the mark. I loved the potential on offer, but unfortunately, the repetitive action becomes stale very quickly. However, if you subscribe to Game Pass I suggest you give it a go.

    Exoprimal is a fun multiplayer in which the way you progress and its content keep it from going any further.
