When Capcom first announced Exoprimal last March, the third-person shooter was met with mixed reactions from both fans of the developer and gamers at large. Partly because they were confused about whether it was a Dino Crisis spin-off but also because it looked like a generic live service shooter, something we’re all tired of.
Now, three weeks after Exoprimal’s launch, I can happily report that it’s a competent mech shooter with solid depth and a rewarding and varied gameplay loop despite falling into some live-service trappings. The game is well worth your time if dinosaurs or PvE elements are your jam. Unfortunately, Exoprimal hasn’t evolved fast enough, and I’m worried about its future.
