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?
Exoprimal is a deeply strange game, and somehow the dinosaurs falling from the sky are the most normal thing about it. The story seems like it’s headed for a Jurassic Park setup, with your team of special forces operatives heading to an island where some sort of disaster has taken place. But instead of landing, finding a bunch of dinosaurs and then killing them, you first go through an interdimensional time portal controlled by a rogue AI, and then you compete in a Hunger Games-style contest against alternate universe versions of yourself for the AI’s amusement. That’s where the dinosaur killing comes in.
