I don't know if Exoprimal's going to be a hit, but I'm rooting for it.
We all have weaknesses videogames exploit to make us love them in spite of any obvious faults. It turns out that one of mine is watching 100 raptors fall out of a portal in the sky, then shooting them with a machine gun. I guess that makes Exoprimal an educational videogame?
It's such an unnecessary twist on what would've been a perfectly fine premise—go to island, shoot lots of dinosaurs—that I respect the swerve. The exosuits are Capcom's take on a Japanese tokusatsu series like Power Rangers, simultaneously cheesy, ostentatious and badass. There's a wider variety of them than I expected, broken out into assault, support, and tank classes.
Exoprimal doesn't quite fit any of the usual buckets we put multiplayer games in, but I think that's a clever move on Capcom's part. It gives you the chill co-op solidarity of playing with your friends, with a bit of adrenaline at the end when you go up against another team. As unconventional as these parts of Exoprimal are, its meta progression is the exact opposite. It's lifted straight from the generic F2P game handbook, including loot boxes with cosmetic drops and a battle pass. It's not the best fit for a $60 game, and feels out of step with how people spend money on games right now, and how odd Exoprimal otherwise is.
