Exoprimal

I really wanted Exoprimal to succeed, it's a fun game somewhere between Overwatch and Left 4 Dead, but asking for 60 dollars and then charging for a battle pass with quite frankly bad and ugly skins, then also holding out your hand asking for me to pay to unlock characters who are palette swaps with slightly different weapons is INSANE, especially with how little content the game actually has. This game could be revived with a major update or maybe a sequel could improve things, but I doubt it, given Capcom's MASSIVE collection of dead IP propping up Resident Evil's bloated figure.

I'll admit it: Exoprimal is fun in short bursts. The core gameplay loop—fighting off waves of dinosaurs in high-tech exosuits—is fast-paced and visually chaotic in a good way. The movement feels solid, and there’s a certain thrill to mowing down a horde of raptors with your squad. But the more I played, the more I realized it just isn’t for me. The core issue lies in the game mode’s structure. At first, it looks like a straightforward co-op PvE game, but it’s actually a competitive PvPvE—one that leans into PvP near the end of every match. Each round is basically a race against another team to complete identical objectives. Then, in the final phase, it suddenly shifts into an Overwatch-style escort mission. That’s where it lost me. The final objective feels like a bait-and-switch. After spending most of the match tearing through hordes of dinosaurs, you’re suddenly thrown into an escort mission—still fighting off dinos, but now with the added pressure of the enemy team interfering. Their job is to slow you down, sabotage your progress, and ultimately steal the win. It’s a jarring shift in tone, and honestly, it feels forced. To make matters worse, the current low player count really drags the experience down. You’ll often find yourself playing with and against bots, and that completely kills any competitive edge the game is trying to sell. When your PvP phase is decided by AIs instead of actual players, it loses all meaning—and any tension or excitement that should come with a competitive mode just evaporates. There’s the mandatory Capcom ID account just to play, along with the fact that it’s online-only. No offline mode, no solo play—just live service hoops to jump through. If you’re after a solid co-op PvE experience, this probably won’t hit the mark. Exoprimal has potential, but between its confused identity and dwindling player base, I walked away more frustrated than entertained. Rating: 5/10 – Cool idea, It’s got style, but the execution make it hard to recommend.

Its a great game worth the 14 bucks on sale I spent for it. But really the content isnt even close to being worth its original price of 60 bucks. Most my games were against bots which tbf dead game so no surprise. Still if ur just looking for some horde shooter to play for awhile its not dat bad. Still the fact two of the actual PvE gamemodes r locked behind not only beating the game but also time gated to weekend only is pretty fuckin stupid. Overall unless its one sale for a REAL CHEAP price it aint worth ur time.

Fun game and I enjoy the healing classes. I really hope that Capcom carries this system into another game in the future.

Good Game.
