Extinction Reviews
this is a good looking game with decent gameplay, but just way overpriced. If this game was $15-$20 not nearly as many people would be complaining about it. You can look past the repetitive gameplay or lack of content at that price, but at a full AAA game price, it will be judged at a different level. I'm not even saying avoid this game, but just don't spend too much money on it. If you can get it for less than $20, then that's a pretty good deal.
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 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.

There is so much potential in Extinction but it's all wasted. It's such a shame to see a game with some seriously fun ideas turn into something that is such a drudgery to play.
While Extinction is technically a game, I'm pretty sure it's an April Fool's prank gone too far.
This game had some interesting buzz at E3 2017, Does it stack up? Checkout Preston's review on Extinction.
Any initial excitement is washed away within the first hour or two, giving way to repetition, boredom and often complete frustration. Extinction had great potential but sadly comes up way short.
It may be blanketed with a great art style and some slick animation, but what lies underneath is an incredibly boring and repetitive game. The frustrating controls and movement also do not help.
Extinction is a game that feels like a novel idea that didn't get fully fleshed out. I wanted to love it, but the repetition really drags it down. At a lower price or with a little more variety to the encounters this game could have been something special. As it stands though it is nigh impossible to recommend it.
Extinction appeared as a rather interesting title, but there must have been serious problems during the development. The promising concept hasn't been transformed into a successful result.

As a game, it sits somewhere between an indie title and AAA. Unfortunately, its priced as AAA which in my opinion it falls short of.
Overall, Extinction gets a 4/10, it is a good attempt at trying something new in gaming, but sadly that something new is picked from a monopolised genre of titans. Gameplay is chunky, the soundtrack is samey, levels are repetitive alongside the combat with skill progression feeling unrewarding.
Extinction is a fun game premise plagued with camera problems, occasional bugs, and aimless mission design. Taking down a 40-foot tall Ravenii can be satisfying, but there isn't much to hang your hat on after that. This would've been much more palatable as a budget title.
Extinction is fun for a few hours, but it's not even close to being worth the asking price.
Extinction uses so many good ideas of other games and executes them poorly and manages to combine it with a whole new level of repetition. Even the other Game Modes it offers don't offer any replay value for the already overpriced title.

Extinction is a derivative and uninspired game not worth the $60 price tag.
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.
Ultimately, Extinction is a game which just feels bad to play.
Extinction is a game with potential which was ruined by bad pricing and bad gameplay/story decisions. It could've been a better game if it had a cheaper price with more features. However, in its state, it only fails to be an impressive game. If you are a huge fan of action games, and if you don't mind repetitive gameplay with weak storyline, but with good graphics and sound effects, you can go ahead and try it. Otherwise, I'd recommend waiting for an update or a discount.
Extinction is the fearsome Giant that stumbles over your expectations and shatters them. Its careful aesthetics and its original design are languished in the face of flat and uncharismatic missions. Its frantic gameplay collides with design flaws and leaves this third attempt by Iron Galaxy in a simple try.
