Exoprimal Review Summary

FairCritic Consensus

Diverse exosuits offering unique playstyles

Repetitive content after several hours

Limited progression and lack of depth

Exoprimal is a team-based, PvPvE multiplayer shooter blending fast-paced combat with dinosaur-filled chaos. Critics highlight its fun, action-packed gameplay where players fight both dinosaurs and rival teams using various exosuits, each offering unique abilities. However, while the core mechanics entertain, many critics note the game's lack of content variety, which leads to repetitive gameplay after several hours. Additionally, progression systems and limited modes detract from the game's long-term appeal.

Critic Reviews for Exoprimal

The beginnings of a PvPvE cult hit. Extinct animal slaughter is fundamentally fun, but the foundations are sparse.

It's a sight for saur eyes, but not quite enough to make Exoprimal essential. There's real cleverness to the PvPvE balance, and to how Leviathan modifies that one, core mode as the game unfolds, but after 15 hours, it still feels like an exercise in reshuffling well-worn pieces. I don't think it earns that blockbuster price tag. As a subscription game, though, Exoprimal is dino-mite.

Exoprimal's unique take on the hero shooter genre is a bold one – with its best modes and surprises hidden deep within its goofy sci-fi story – but a variety of fun exosuits, the simple appeal of tearing through thousands of dinos, and great multiplayer design make that grind an easy one to recommend sticking with.

"There's simply not enough variation here to keep Exoprimal feeling fresh after a dozen or so hours"

Capcom is trying to have its cake and eat it, too, with Exoprimal by using its story to lure more general fans while hoping the loop keeps hardcore multiplayer fans for the long haul. I’m not sure that will work; I have little motivation to return now that I’ve seen credits. But I had a fun time while it lasted. Exoprimal’s creative subversion of expectations impressed me in more ways than one, and its approach to telling a robust narrative within a multiplayer framework is an example I hope other titles study. I just hope it’s enough to keep the game from going extinct.

Exoprimal keeps its cards close, saving some of its best moments for later.

Exoprimal will be a rollercoaster of surprises for the majority of players. Making your way through the fifty-or-so matches it takes to hit credits, experiencing all the spectacle on display in this curveball of a game, is in my opinion worth the cost of admission for Game Pass users, and perhaps at a discount for all others. It'll remain a presence on my PS5 home screen, for now at least.

Surprisingly effective it may be at crafting a simple-but-enticing loop of gameplay, Exoprimal's shallow variety and unclear methods of progression land Capcom's latest in a middle-ground of being both entertaining and heavily flawed.
