When Exoprimal was first revealed, I thought Dino Crisis was finally coming back. It wasn't, of course, but the combination of Exosuits, rampaging hordes of dinosaurs, and sleek AI conducting live-fire exercises in virtual reality was still interesting.
As time passed, many of the usual worrying things started to pop up – online only, a Battle Pass, a $60 price, post-launch plans, etc. I thought the developer was simply jumping on board the live-service bandwagon several years too late, that too with something that looked tedious.
However, after playing the open beta early, I can confirm that Exoprimal is a ton of fun. There are still several unknowns and more than a few concerns, but the core gameplay loop is easy enough to jump into without feeling too mindless (for the most part). Let's examine ten new things you should know before jumping in.
