SeekerExoprimal
As a familiar-looking hero shooter with dinosaurs added in, Exoprimal is much bolder than it may initially seem. This is a game that I envision many people will play and enjoy for a few hours, feel like they’ve gotten their fill of it, and then move on to something else. But that will be an incredible shame because they’ll never experience Exoprimal’s best content, which is hidden in the back half of its bonkers sci-fi story, and features some of the most surprising and innovative gameplay moments I’ve experienced in a team-based multiplayer game in a long time. I wish it took a little less time to get to those moments, as repetition starts to creep in before they hit, but Exoprimal’s unique PvPvE formula is impeccably designed, features fun and distinct exosuits regardless of what role you play, and is a breath of fresh air in the multiplayer hero shooter genre.

Product details
- Co-op with a Competitive Edge – Dino Survival pioneers a new 5v5 team-based online multiplayer experience. Race to complete a dynamic medley of missions quicker than your opponents. Prepare to take down a rampaging triceratops one moment before defending a downed aircraft from thousands of raptors in the next. Matches climax in direct confrontations between squads –or can even see rivals join forces to defeat a common enemy. Only the strongest and sharpest Exofighter crews will adapt with lightning speed and make it out alive.
- Advanced Armory – Exoprimal packs an arsenal of Exosuits to wear into combat. Each suit has its own specialty, and Exofighters can swap between them on the fly to adapt to any situation. Cut through dinosaurs with Assault models, heal teammates and enhance their abilities with Support types, or shield allies from harm with Tanks. Exosuits can also equip an array of rigs to build upon their existing strengths or make up for their weaknesses. Added cosmetics are also available to customize your Exosuits, impress your friends, and intimidate your enemies.
- Mesozoic Menace – Fight to survive against swarms of countless velociraptors, pteranodons, and a menagerie of other prehistoric beasts, including imposing behemoths like the hulking carnotaurus and ironclad ankylosaurus. And make sure to look out for spacetime-twisted Neosaurs warping into the fray with their mutant powers!
- Futuristic Fidelity – Powered by RE Engine, Exoprimal unleashes unprecedented numbers of on-screen enemies to slay with high-tech machinery while delivering breathtakingly photorealistic visuals. Capcom’s proprietary engine has powered highly acclaimed titles such as Resident Evil Village, Monster Hunter Rise, and Devil May Cry 5.
- Unravel the Mystery – In 2040, dinosaurs inexplicably began to reappear across the globe and threaten humanity’s existence. Three years later, a strange vortex causes an aircraft carrying a group of Exofighters to crash-land on a strange island where a sinister AI forces them to fight for their very lives. Unlock new story sequences by playing Dino Survival to piece together the adventure and uncover the mystery behind the dinosaur outbreaks.

Despite its bizarre premise, Exoprimal’s core loop works tremendously well, providing a team-based multiplayer experience that’s simultaneously unlike anything else and has a strong ‘one more match’ feeling. However, it remains extremely difficult to recommend due to being a full-priced multiplayer-only title.
