This game had all the right ideas and none of the execution.
ALL it should be is a squad based, mech suit shooter, where you kill dinosaurs. Instead, it somehow manages to bungle even that basic premise.
Takeaways:
- Combat feels so clunky. Hit boxes and detection are so weird. Dinosaurs are smaller than you sometimes, so you will aim down at them, but it won't hit. Then you aim above them and it lands. It's insane. Melee attacks especially suffer from this, and often you will swing your sword or whatever and think you would take out every dino in your radius, but it doesn't. There are also random power attacks that don't do area of affect by their graphic, but somehow kill enemies nowhere near the blast. Hard to get good at a game where the hit detection makes 0 sense
- There is SO MUCH STORY. No, that's not a good thing. It's boring, it's overly complex, there are a bunch of characters that you don't give a crap about, and for a game that should just pop you into the action so you can pew pew some dinos, there are way too many cutscenes. I played for an hour and maybe 20 minutes of that was gameplay. Like seriously, get in the mech, shoot the dino should be all there is to it.
- There is no one online anymore. I queed up for 5 minutes and it just put me with a full bot team and a full enemy bot team.
This game should have been a homerun but is a just a swing and a miss somehow. It only came out a year ago and has nobody playing, despite even being on gamepass.
TL;DR - Just let me shoot some goddamn dinos in a mech suit
