Is Exoprimal Worth $60? Early Reviews Say No

[IconGT]

Exoprimal looked awesome at first glance. Who wouldn't be psyched about dinosaur-hunting mech suits? But based on early reviews, it falls short.

The marketed "PvE mode" is apparently just PvP with extra steps. Not real PvE.

It's also jam-packed with monetization like battle passes and pay-to-win DLC. That stuff doesn't belong in a $60 game.

On top of that, content seems light at launch and risks getting repetitive quickly.

I'm hopeful Exoprimal can improve with time, but right now reviews suggest waiting for more content and less egregious monetization before jumping in. It's not living up to its rad potential just yet.

For what it's worth a PVE mode called Savage Gauntlet is gonna be added on 28th of this month, I think that's what the pure PVE stuff is supposed to be.

its worth like 15 Euros

my only gripe is that, while u can get a skin n multiple recolors for free, u gotta pay for multiple skins. u should get more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in a 60 dollar game.

other than that, its exactly wat i thought it was. the pure pve only mode is bein added in a patch in 2 weeks.

at its core its mad fun

i like this game, but its not worth the asking price.
probably if it was half i might recommend it, more like 20 bucks

I've had fun with the game so far. But that is coming from someone who already had an active gamepass subscription, so I did not shell out any additional money for this that I wasn't already paying. Now if I had paid for this (especially upward of $60) I'd likely have a very different opinion.

For what I have open to do on day 1 I think this would have been better served either being free to play, costing significantly less (like $20-$30 ballpark), or being delayed until more promised features/modes/party crossplay was added.

I know there is additional content already announced including something with Street Fighter and something with Monster Hunter. Now if they are planning on crossovers carrying the content hard, then they really, really need to knock them out of the park. Because right now at day 1 I really don't feel there is enough to merit a $60 price tag + cosmetic shop + paid battle pass.

I think this is probably a "play if you have gamepass or wait for sale if game is still active" situation.

this game is on game pass, if you have game pass, just try the game there

Very loud people wanted: EDF with dinosaurs and Dinocrisis so they go in to reviewbomb.

Well the Devs didnt wanted to make EDF dinosaurs... Maybe it would had made copyright problems or such? maybe not, who knows.

Huh, I didn't even realize review bombing was a thing people actually did. Seems kinda silly to me.

I mean, leaving a bunch of angry rants doesn't really do much, you know? The devs won't take those over-the-top complaints seriously. And it's not gonna magically change the game.

If you ask me, giving polite suggestions is a better way to go. That makes it easier for the developers to listen and improve things.

But hey, that's just my two cents on the situation. I'm no expert!

It's a forum, so by very loud you mean a large share of the reviewer base? so a lot of vocal customers wanted a specific product and didn't get it and they are wrong for being unhappy about it.

Sounds like the product itself needs to be good enough to sway at least some of those customers to trying something new.

I mean if it's not what you want that's more on you than the developer. Just don't buy the game, what a concept.

[madmopar]

This is a free 2 play game with a $60 price tag. Play it on gamepass.

[Mazzle Dazzle]

I mean I could have told you from the start it wasn't going to be worth $60. I was just hungry for a good dino slaughter game to keep me busy while other better games come out. For that purpose it works... even for $60.

[OhHellYeah]

It's a PVP game made by Capcom, of course its not worth $60 and basically dead on arrival.
They refuse to give up on trying to make a PVP shooter game. They always release a few good games, and then they always try to force out some competitive game. They never get it right. Usually its just really bad RE PVP games, this time they tried to bamboozle people with Dino Crisis vibes. Its got more micro-transactions than warzone.

I playing it now for hours and your "micro-trnsactions" you cry about are NON EXISTING, dumbass. You clearly didnt played the game, you properly didnt even finish the tutorial mission or maybe even died in there, who knows. There is no Shop where you can buy stuff, ohh loot boxes, oh yeah but you CANT BUY them you earn them by playing, aswell more content when you progress through the story. Go back to crynet dude...
