Picture this: the year is 2040. Vortexes are spewing dinosaurs everywhere like a kid at a birthday party with too much cake. Who do you call? Exofighters! Capcom's latest brainchild, *Exoprimal*, takes you on a wild ride into a world of exosuits and killer reptiles. But is it just a fancy way to say, ‘Let’s shoot dinosaurs while wearing snazzy suits’? Let's dig deeper and see if this game is a roaring success or just a Jurassic flop! Spoiler alert: It’s a little bit of both.
*Exoprimal* throws you into chaotic player-versus-player, player-versus-environment (PvPvE) gameplay where two teams of five compete not just against each other, but also against waves of ravenous prehistoric critters. You can choose from a variety of exosuits, like the tanky Roadblock who looks like a mobile barricade, or the healing Witchdoctor who’s not here to sell you potions, but to mending your broken ego after that dino successfully stomped on you. Grab your buddies and get ready for a fight—because nothing says 'friendship' like blasting dinosaurs together! You complete various missions, from protecting downed aircraft to bashing some specific dino heads before the other team. Who needs therapy when you can just relieve some stress by ripping through dino hordes and competing for objectives? That’s a science I can get behind!
The graphics of *Exoprimal* are crisp and chaotic, blending a futuristic look with the catastrophic vibes of dinosaur rampages. The environments are vibrant and detailed; it feels like a lush buffet for your eyes, assuming your eyes like the sight of angry dinosaurs charging at you. The animations of the exosuits are slick—each character feels fluid in their movements, swinging weapons and shooting like they're on the latest action movie set. Not to mention the dramatic flair when you finally land that perfect headshot, making you feel like the baddest exofighter around. Plus, if you have a penchant for skins and cosmetics, the game caters well to your inner fashionista.
*Exoprimal* is the chaotic dino-slaying adventure you didn't know you needed. It combines teamwork, strategy, exosuits, and of course, countless rampaging dinosaurs. The blend of PvPvE gameplay makes for a unique experience that feels fresh, even if it doesn’t always land perfectly. While it may not break records, *Exoprimal* offers endless fun for those craving a game that’s delightfully absurd yet slightly incoherent. So strap on your exosuit, gather your squad, and jump into a vortex where the only certainty is that you might need a new pair of shorts after a close encounter with a T-Rex. Grab it on Game Pass or buy it outright, but be prepared: This isn’t just a game; it’s an experience. This one gets an enthusiastic 7.5 out of 10 from me—because who wouldn’t want to join in on this dino-sized fiesta?
