Exoprimal is big dumb fun, but with a sparse foundation.
There is some inherent joy in controlling these superpowered exosuits. When I play Krieger the tanky machine-gunner, deploying shield domes big enough for the full squad to hunker down inside, I feel like quite the pro gamer. Blasting away at throngs of raptors, throwing up hit points everywhere and even doing a bit of teamwork with those shields, then getting the match MVP for the sheer damage I dealt… I can't lie. It makes me smile.
There are a couple of missteps here though. The exofighter silhouettes, particularly those of Murasame and Zephyr, are too similar at a glance. As for the voice lines, there's something about the way Witchdoctor says"Don't go breaking down!!"I deploy their E ability that makes me think my teammates would rather go without being healed, thanks all the same.
At least, not after already buying the game for full price. Because although the exosuits show real promise and the mode's got real tension, the experience as a whole feels a bit sparse right now. A friend who's been playing along with me over the review period has kept asking me: is this it? Is this the whole game?
I haven't played any of that yet. But based on the time I have spent with Exoprimal so far, I'd argue that if all that were included at launch, it still might feel a bit light for £50. It feels like a game that wants to release in early access and harvest all that player feedback before refining itself, but also doesn't want to sacrifice launch week revenue in the process.
