Extinction Reviews
Extinction's core gameplay loop is alright for what it is, but it doesn't support the rickety structure built on top of it. Boring story beats, repetitive voice clips and randomized missions make me classify this campaign as obsolete.
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
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.
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.
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.

While Extinction is technically a game, I'm pretty sure it's an April Fool's prank gone too far.
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.
An 'Attack on Titan' wannabe that falls short with its repetitive gameplay and poorly developed plot.
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.
The actual giant ogre-slaying gameplay is a lot of fun, but it's not enough to carry an entire game on its shoulders. Repetitive gameplay and a boring story keep the game from being any fun beyond the first few hours.
Annihilation of endless waves of big monsters is exciting. However missions, game modes and locations should be more diverse.

Extinction has its ups and downs. There's a lot to its different modes and its long story campaign, but its foundation is lacking and it eventually gets boring after a while. The 60$ price tag is also way too much for the current market! More than anything, Extinction reminds me of smartphone games: full of content but lacking in other aspects. Maybe it would've been better for it to be released on smartphones but right now, compared to games like Attack on Titan 2 and Shadow of the Colossus, it hasn't got much to say.

While not an awful game, this is definitely not something I'm going to be overtly suggesting to my friends. IThe game is made up of a simple kind of fun and not any sort of deep and meaningful systems or mechanics. Topped off with a generic and negligible story, Extinction only manages to keep its head above water due to how fun chopping up ogres can be.
Ultimately, Extinction is a game which just feels bad to play.
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.
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.

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

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.

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.
