For years now, we’ve been bemoaning a lack of video games featuring dinosaurs. Heck, we even made a video talking about the best dinosaur games, where we prove that no matter the genre, our prehistoric friends deserve a place.
That’s why when Capcom announced Exoprimal, we had to give it a go.
It’s a pretty simple premise. In the not too distant future, vortexes in spacetime have resulted in swarms of dinosaurs wreaking havoc, bringing humanity to its knees. In an attempt to turn the tide and save the day, the corporation Aibius has developed a hyper-advanced (not at all menacing) AI called Leviathan that can predict the location of future outbreaks.
To test humanity’s defence capabilities, Aibius and Leviathan have drafted a swathe of pilots to man exosuits in a series of increasingly bizarre tests and experiments. This is where you come in, as you’re thrust into the battlefield, fighting for your life while trying to work out what Leviathan is really up to.
Now, normally I’d be wanting to side with the dinos rather than humans. What can I say? I love a comeback story. But with that not an option, and Capcom having a strong pedigree of dinosaur games, I was still excited to see what Exoprimal was all about.
Would it live up to the hype? Watch on to find out…
So what exactly is Exoprimal? Ostensibly, it’s a multiplayer team shooter in a similar vein to the likes of Left For Dead and the like. Not only will you have to survive some quite ludicrous numbers of dinosaur foe, but also complete tasks such as defending strategic vehicles and escorting high value assets to safety.
I’ll admit from the offset it can be a little overwhelming. If you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself struggling just to stay alive before worrying about any of the other objectives. But this is where good teamwork is really rewarded, as once you and your team get the hang of it, you’ll soon be working as a well oiled machine. When it all comes together, there’s honestly few feelings in gaming more satisfying.
The thing that really sets Exoprimal apart from other games in the genre is that it isn’t PvE, it’s PvPvE. Let me explain…
All the while you’re fighting dinos and completing tasks, you’ll be competing against another team to get the best time. While you won’t be interacting much during the bulk of a match, completing certain tasks will make your opponents’ life more difficult, like throwing an extra bunch of raptors their way.
My personal favourite is the Dominator item, which will temporarily let you control a T-Rex to absolutely crush the enemy team. I told you I wanted to play as a dinosaur, didn’t I?
During the end game, both teams will be dumped into the same zone to complete one final objective, with the first team to finish winning. This is the only place you can take down other exopilots alongside the dinos, and it makes for some truly tense finales. And if you’re on the losing team at the end of the game, you get messed up. Really messed up.
When it comes to working as a team, you’ll all need to quickly learn the different types of fighters you can man. While there’s plenty of Exosuits to pick from, they fit under three main categories: Assault, Tank, and Support. Assault has a selection of offensive-based options, Tank is your heavies who can shield others and block enemies, and Support are your healers and buffers.
Being someone who plays most shooters running around like a headless six foot turkey, I tended to enjoy the Assault class most of all, but you’ll definitely need an even spread to assure victory. Fortunately, you can change your Exosuit mid match, meaning you can have a fairly comprehensive go at all of them within the first game...
What's your favourite dinosaur video game? 🦖🎮
Ark, its the og dinosaur game
What about Dino Crisis??
@@UDSGaming i haven’t played it but i might try to get my hands on it because I absolutely love old games they just have a certain charm to them
Turok of course
But which Turok?
Wish you didn't have the music in the background like that
Rats is it too loud? I was trying something a little different
@@UDSGaminga bit loud, yeah.
Thanks for the tip, will lower it next time!
Would rather hear the game sounds too
Ngl, the game is fun...For awhile. I wish they wouldve released the strictly PvE mode on launch, but having to wait till the 27th/28th is fine I guess. Idk, at this moment, the competitive nature of the PvPvE just annoys me. I was more so hoping for more so EDF, then during the Beta realized it was just a semi-overwatch style put me off. But I remained hopeful...Now im not to sure if I'll stick with it if there arent much changes.
There is an option for just pve
@@C_T_Tnot really because you’re still competing against another team.
@@imgonnakermitslipnslide Yeah and because of that there is no only doing missions for fun but trying to rush like hell.
Your review is neutral, on point, and with a dash of jokes
Thanks.
Thank you!!!
Agree👌
Dinos and mechs. I love it. Its on gamepass to so people should try it. I bought it despite it being on gamepass
Launching at such a high price point with a battle pass that is also behind a paywall AND always online multiplayer only, means the few people who are enjoying it will have very long wait times for matches as the player base drops.
Shame, it does some things great.
Well that's only for ps Xbox don't have that problem lmao
@theyretryingtoweaponizeit1847 ehh I'm saying Xbox players don't so sucks for ps but basically free on gampass so tough
@@josephromero9972ah so not all Xbox players. Only those that fork over additional money on Xbox.
after seeing the reviews was a 6/10 overall the game isn't bad its really fun i wish there was more too do in wargames
Ngl...the beta had me hooked. Went in w/no expectations and came out pleasantly surprised and satisfied. So picking this up day one was a no brainer. I really hope the game does well b/c it def is fun to play. Good job Capcom...imma ride with this 1.!
Honestly surviving is easy, like in 15/1 matches i play per day i only die that 1 match,i main deadeye and hes mid to long range,its all about looking at the minimap to see where the portal will spawn and then quickly position yourself in the best spot preferably highground and keep on doing that,its not hard to get cocky eiether, and when its time to escort the cube i just ride on top of it as i destroy the waves,once you get close to the enemys cube i just begin beaming it to slow their progress down,and always ready to revive oir cube bc irs crucial to win,or if we destroy their cube you and your team should hold the enemy back so that they cant revive thwir cube and win,just camp their cube and take cover as you do it,now for when a big dinosaur spwans in just get the highground or if you get cocky just spray from afar.
For me, this game is lacking customization for the exosuit, weaponry, and ability/skill set.
Other than that, it's an OK game. Wish we have more customization like in Warframe or Anthem tho.
I’m thoroughly enjoying this game.
We’re thoroughly enjoying you!
Thanks for the review! Music is way too loud though if you can turn it down a notch next time. Great video!
Thanks for the tip. I tried something different but I think you’re totally right. Will fix for next yime
Subscribed and loooking fwd to more content!
Thank you so much!!
I personally don’t enjoy it to be completely honest gave it a try. I’m probably Finna drop it path of titans and naraka will sustain me to armored core
Scratch out naraka I’m just not feeling that one either I’m honestly starting to think I’m growing out of video games I’m just not really enjoying any of them
Gonna check it out tonight. Thanks for the video.
No worries! Thanks for watching!!
I was playing it last night. The pvp game modes are creative. I hope the online community stays strong for this. This is like a futuristic monster hunter vs Dino crisis.
Great comparison!
No real PVE and it requires a Capcom account just start playing the game. Oof , will keep an eye on it though
the first part where u mindless shoot 1hp dinosaurs is ass, the pvp part is pretty good
You’re right, there’s not enough dinosaur ass!
Short and nice explanation, thanks and im subbed
Thank you so much!
Let see if this game lasts as long as evolve
I hope longer!!
Wonder if they had e sports in mind
Not a bad shout. I could see it becoming adopted for that
For £1 this game is amazing
You, on the other hand, are priceless ❤️
Game's amazing
You’re amazing!
@@UDSGamingyour amazing
Nah game bad no content only one mode
Yeah there’s not a lot to do right now
