Extinction Reviews
When Extinction presents its large ogre titans, you get an inkling of what could have been. Instead, randomization and procedural generation rule the core gameplay and feel to really liven up what's a generally below average story, combat and world.
Extinction fails on every level. An interesting idea for the story fades due to boring dialogues and hunting quickly becomes a monotonous chore.

Perhaps this review seems a little harsh but please bear in mind that Extinction is a terrible game that is retailing close to one hundred dollars. That is, without question, day-light robbery. This mess isn't even worth close to half of that, in fact, I wouldn't even recommend playing it for free. Sure, there are worse games out there, but how anyone in good conscience could greenlight Extinction's release at the price of a Triple-A game is insulting.
Extinction is solely based on a good idea, but fails to entertain due to the game structure and the algorithms for procedural content generation. The story in poorly narrated e feels out of focus during the missions.

An enjoyable collection of mechanics that are somewhat let down by the repetitive nature inherent in the game itself. If you enjoy the first couple of levels then you could play for years but if you don't find it the most riveting thing ever it will probably lose you long before the campaign is done.
Thanks to a nuanced combat system, Extinction is fun hack ‘n’ slash experience whose poorly executed story and repetitive mission design stops it from being memorable for all the right reasons
Extinction shows a lot of promise, and it sometimes delivers, like when it comes to the engaging, acrobatic combat or the sheer scale of the Ravenii. Unfortunately, the repetitive mission types and gameplay and a clichéd fantasy tale make it feel like a shell of a game. Far from feeling like a full retail release, Extinction feels like one good idea run into the ground until you're checking your watch, waiting for it to end.
Extinction is a great game, though patience can be required at times. Running around and blowing through enemies is fun, and the cartoony, mostly polished gameplay could be an incredible game after a few patches. As it is, it is still a blast to play, interrupted by quick frustrations that come from missed attacks that can completely stop an assault. If you are looking for a hectic hack-n-slash boss fighting game, Extinction is absolutely worth picking up. Those who can be quickly frustrated from bugs, however, may want to wait for a couple of patches.
Extinction takes inspiration from some incredible games in the genre, such as God of War and Devil May Cry -- but sadly, it fails to improve upon any of them.
An 'Attack on Titan' wannabe that falls short with its repetitive gameplay and poorly developed plot.
Extinction could be an entertaining experience, but only for the first couple of hours. after that, everything becomes awfully repetitive and the fact that you have to pay 60 bucks for such a mess is enough reason to stay away from it.

Extinction is full of wasted potential, and while some ideas and gameplay mechanics might be interesting at first, almost none of them are executed properly. Good visuals and some platforming fun are all that Extinction can offer.

Extinction is a beautiful game with many good ideas but "Repeat" is heavily damages the game from begining hours of it. Story and characters are shallow and immediately forgotten by the gamer after begining of the game. Epic fights with giant raveniis are the best parts of Extinction and challenge the gamer very well. Extinction is a game that is worth your time but it also has weaknesses that repeat is the biggest of them.

As a whole, Extinction is a game built around plenty of promising ideas, but the execution fails to live up to its promises on almost every single point. It's hard to shake the feeling that Iron Galaxy didn't provide the game with the resources it needed to come close to reaching the heights it was aiming for. That's a shame, since all we're left with is a massive skeleton of a game that could have held some real meat. Ultimately, Extinction is not worth buying, especially at its absurd $60 price point.
Extinction feels like a game that could have been a fun side project for a studio developed on a modest budget, instead of being sold at full price as a retail game that struggles to offer enticing content for its asking price.
In fact, Extinction looks more like a trial version than a full-fledged game. Everything in the title is so simple that everyone will feel bored and repetitive.

Unfortunately, Extinction is an example of a good idea executed poorly. Better luck next time.

Despite the good inspirations that Extinction appears to have, everything is misused and have no originality when executed. The gameplay is flawed at crucial moments and the story does not develop enough to become interesting. It is sad to see that a game with potential gets lost in basic mistakes and that it is not worth the price that is charged at its launch.

Extinction is a tough sell at its current price point of $60. If you enjoy killing giant monsters, wait for a massive price drop or pick up Attack on Titan 2 instead.
Ultimately, Extinction is a game which just feels bad to play.
