Introduction

So you thought dinosaurs were extinct? Think again, pal. In 'Exoprimal,' they’re back, and they’re angry. As if that wasn’t enough, they have a personal grudge against your squad of exofighters clad in high-tech exosuits. Will you save the world from these prehistoric terrors, or will you just lay down and let them trample you while you contemplate all of your life choices? Spoiler: probably a bit of both.

Gameplay

In 'Exoprimal', players engage in PvPvE action where two teams of five go head-to-head to both complete objectives and fend off massive waves of dinosaurs. It’s essentially 'Overwatch' meets 'Jurassic Park' with a sprinkle of 'The Hunger Games' just to keep the stakes high. Choose from various exofighters equipped with unique exosuits, which sounds cooler than trying to explain to your mom why you still live in her basement at 30. From the tanky 'Roadblock' (who totally skips leg day to carry a shield) to the support 'Witchdoctor' (the one healing everyone while munching on virtual snacks), the game offers a buffet of character classes. Rigs can be swapped mid-game, allowing for some spicy gameplay tactics where one moment you’re blasting raptors and the next you’re just trying not to get eaten. Missions range from 'Dinosaur Cull' (because apparently, no one told them about extinction) to 'VTOL Defense' (a fancy way of saying, "Don’t let that plane get eaten by a T-Rex"). The core game mode, 'Dino Survival,' has you racing against others while prehistorically massive reptiles attempt to have you for lunch. Whether it's fun or just utter chaos depends on how well you play with your team - or how good your internet connection is because, let's be real, no one wants the blame for a lost match due to a lagging dinosaur.

Graphics

The graphics in 'Exoprimal' are like a beautifully wrapped present—a great exterior that distracts from what’s inside. Dinosaurs look natty (if you consider roaring beasts stylish), and the effects when they see you are truly frightening. Each exofighter design is sharp and, despite the clunky idea of strapping humans into exosuits, it somehow feels...normal? The environments are colorful, vibrant, and filled with opportunities for mischief—or just your usual pitiful death at the hands of a rampaging Triceratops. However, during intense battles, visuals can get a bit overstuffed. The game can feel like a birthday party where someone overdid it on the balloons, making it hard to focus on dodging a Velociraptor while trying to remember why you entered the room in the first place.

Conclusion

Overall, 'Exoprimal' offers a buffet of chaos, nostalgia, and teamwork. It’s not groundbreaking, and the bizarre storyline gets muddled faster than a T-Rex stuck in quicksand, but it has fun factor written all over it. Is it the next big thing or just a leap of faith into dinosaur madness? Grab some friends, suit up, and blast, stomp, and dinosaur-munch your way to discovering that answer yourself. Just remember to dodge, because that T-Rex isn't going to let you forget you made it mad. Play 'Exoprimal' if you’re game for some dino-mite co-op chaos or if you just want an excuse to scream at your friends for getting you killed. Either way, it’s certainly a ride and might just scratch that itch for some good old-fashioned dinosaur combat!
