Early Access Review
Primal Carnage: Extinction is exactly the update the original Primal Carnage needed for a long while now. Although they did seperate it into an entirely new game, I do love all of the improvements on it thus far being only a BETA. The graphical difference because PC and PC:E is very different. Extinction's graphics are 10x better, as well as more optimized in my experience. Gameplay seems a lot smoother. The faster paced combat is something I still need to adjust to coming from the original game, but it's growing on me. I LOVE the fact you have to actually work hard on playing a Raptor in Extinction opposed to PC. Although I do slightly disagree with Pteras being so simple; yet I do highly appreciate and love the effert they put to simplify it's flying mechanics making it easier for Ptera fans and lovers to play as enjoyment. I never find myself getting bored of playing Extiction yet so far. Each match I find enjoyable and new ways to practice and play the game as well as help as much as possible with the development of it by providing information on bugs and possible suggestions of fixes.

If you've never played any of the Primal Carnage games, I do recommend trying out Extinction due to it being the newest and as it's still in BETA to watch it grow and develop. Overall, this is my small summary.

Pros:
~More optimized, smoother graphics
~Higher end textures
~Improved maps and lighting
~Smoother overall gameplay; although faster paced.
~New abilities/weapons for both Human and Dinosaur as well as seperate abilities for Sub-classes
~Steam Economy seems very promising in the near future
~Current combat keeps you on the edge and lookout; makes it more enjoyable

Cons:
~Combat is a tad fast at times, makes it difficult to land proper hits as a Human or Dinosaur
~Small bugs that prevents entering a server or crashing after one or a few matches
~New items in your inventory sometimes taking a while to load for use

Inbetween Opinion(s) (totally your choice whether these are good or bad):
~Fast Combat
~Raptor pounce being more difficult than the original Primal Carnage
~Jumping being more spammable
~Pteradons being more flexible, more simple to play
~Raptors being more difficult to play
~Tyrants being equally as easy to kill at times; but can also be easily over-powering depending on your playstyle
~Dilo's Stamina runs out fast and must recharge by roaring; although the the Roar meter takes a while to refill
~Tyrants not being able to heal as effectively by eating humans opposed from the original game
~Humans running faster and longer than some dinosaurs at times
~Humans possessing sometimes their own 'one-shot' attacks and methods (even to Tyrants)

Most of this review is purely just my honest opinion of the first week of release for Extinction. My opinion on the game may or may not change for the better or worse once it is developed more a few months into the future. I suggest buying and trying out the game before placing any proper judgement based off this review!

My rating for Extinction: 7.8 out of 10
