For a game with \u201cDino Forecasts\u201d that warn of thousands of dinosaurs raining out of portals in the sky, what\u2019s surprising about Exoprimal is that it\u2019s somehow even stranger than that premise would suggest. It\u2019s a competitive hero shooter \u2013 that\u2019s also occasionally cooperative \u2013 which pits two teams of five players against each other in dino-hunting war games, where they compete indirectly \u2013 but also occasionally directly \u2013 in separate parallel universes to see who can complete a grab bag of objectives faster. It takes a lot of familiar elements from team-based multiplayer games like Overwatch and Team Fortress 2, and combines them with wave-based survival elements to create an experience that feels wholly unique, and a lot of fun if you\u2019re able to find a well-balanced squad.<\/p>\n

After about 10 hours, my initial impressions of Exoprimal are mostly positive. The twist of competing to become more efficient at slaying literally thousands of dinosaurs is a fresh and fun take on the competitive hero shooter genre, the 10 exosuits all fill satisfying roles and have fun abilities with some great synergies, and there have been some nice surprises in the way the campaign\u2019s story has bled into the multiplayer space.<\/p>\n
