If I paid 50 quid for this and/or was hoping for a good singleplayer story experience, I'd be pretty upset with Exoprimal - but I'm playing it through gamepass and am admittedly a grindy liveservice game sicko that enjoys managing cooldowns and seeing numbers go up

And from that perspective, I honestly really like Exoprimal lol it's a nice alternative when my friends and I are feeling a bit tired of Overwatch or the other games we play. It's a bit visually overstimulating at first with the sheer amount of horseshit that's on screen but you do slowly get used to it. The characters have some good variety and depth to them which is one of the main things I'm looking for

That being said, I can't deny that the game is kind of a mess if you think about it. It really does seem to be trying to merge a singleplayer story game with a f2p liveservice experience, and will no doubtly alieniate a ton of people who are only looking for one of those. If you're here for the story, you'll probably find grinding the same gameplay over and over again fairly boring, and if you're here for that grind/minmax, you might be skipping all the cutscenes while feeling like matches take too long to get started

In summary though, check it out in you have game pass or see it on sale but I would absolutely NOT recommend paying £50 for it
