Second extinction reviews7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() This score simply stands for the current experience.I have a list, a pretty short one, of things that get my immediate attention – and dinosaurs are fairly close to the top. We will provide an official final score once the game launches. The folks at Systemic Reaction need it to be fully fleshed out to be a more enjoyable experience.Įarly Access Scores don’t represent the final score of the game, as things are subject to change. My advice is to wait for next year when the game officially launches. Unfortunately, there’s just other games that we can play that don’t give us the technical difficulties and unpolished finish of what’s on the table here. The idea of teaming up with friends to take on waves upon waves of similarly powered enemies never fails. Second Extinction isn’t a bad game by any standard, it’s just something that we’ve all played before. Second Extinction is still in Early Access and the game is expected to be patched upon full release next year on Steam and Xbox exclusively. This was especially the case during enemy spawns and texture loading. However, I never really had a chance to appreciate them as my machine wasn’t powerful enough for the game’s technical demand.Įven when I played at the lowest graphical setting, the game experiences frequent frame rate dips. The game’s visuals are rather impressive, with satisfying motion blur and dynamic reflections. The enemies are very persistent and will continue to attack while you’re down. The game is best played in co-op mode, as being incapacitated while playing alone pretty much provides no chance to revive. Smaller foes are relatively more easy to kill but bite just as much as the bigger ones. Dinosaurs are coming at you fast from all angles as soon as you’re in game for more than 20 seconds, and they are aggressive. Where the game shines is it’s intensity and in-game visuals. It’s almost like they aren’t trying to stay in character. The voice acting is also questionable, some lines sounding really forced. There’s nothing in the narrative to make me care about why I’m playing as these people. It feels as if they only really serve to give the character some context as to why they’re there. None of them really have any super interesting backgrounds or stories to behold, which is unfortunate. The playable characters are all rather generic FPS badasses. Proceed to the next area, survive waves of enemies, etc. Escort this item to location A, turn on power fuses in section B to open door C. Objectives are the standard fare of what you would expect from a co-op FPS title. They’ll be completing these missions while dodging and dispatching of large groups of prehistoric creatures. Second Extinction is co-op based first person shooter, putting you in the boots of one of many operatives in a pursuit to complete various missions. How different will this game be after Early Access? Who knows? For now though, here’s what we think of it in its current state. ![]() While rather repetitive, it still stands true to its purpose. There’s something about avoiding and shooting at ravenous dinosaurs that just feels satisfying and super urgent. If I had to explain it in simple terms, I’d call Second Extinction game the Jurassic Park video game we never really got. ![]()
