Primal Carnage: Extinction Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Primal Carnage: Extinction certainly sets itself apart from other online multiplayer shooters out there. With a few different modes and a couple of maps for each mode thrown in, there is some degree of fun to be had in the game. How long that fun lasts though is simply based on how much enjoyment a person can get out of online shooters in general, and just how much patience they have for balancing issues and mechanic design flaws.
Maybe one day well get the dinosaur game that we deserve; one with cutting edge graphics, amazing sound and tense yet engaging gameplay. Until that day, you may find yourself having limited fun with Primal Carnage: Extinction, but I can’t recommend it. With its unbalanced gameplay, bland graphics, awkward dinosaur animations and dwindling player base, it often frustrates more than it entertains. The Primal Carnage series may have had legs for a few years on the PC, where it’s secured a small but loyal fan base, but on the PS4, I don’t think it will be too long until becomes extinct.
Ever fancied stomping on or maybe munching some gun-toting Call of Duty-esque humans as a prehistoric monster? How about hunting dinosaurs with a variety of weapons? Well, the good news is that Circle 5 has your back with Primal Carnage: Extinction, which has been ported from the PC to the PlayStation 4.
Despite its technical problems and some missing features, Primal Carnage is far from being a bad game. For an independently developed title it looks pretty stunning, even if some of the animations are slightly off. However, as much fun as I’ve had messing around with the various classes and game modes, Primal Carnage simply doesn’t have the lasting appeal I look for in a multiplayer shooter. If played with friends, it will serve up several hours of grin-inducing fun but beyond that very little else.
Do you fancy taking control of some legendary prehistoric monsters, and savagely rip human beings limb from limb? Of course you do! Primal Carnage: Extinction
Just don't buy. If you like the concept maybe buy Evolve instead.
