    A generic top-down shooter that fails to deliver anything novel. [CD-Action 03/2013, p.76]

    Primal Fears fails to create the survival horror feel and as an arcade shooter it's also a huge letdown. The only thing positive about this game is the co-op mode, but even this feels as a disappointment since you can only play with people from your friend list.

    If you played games like Alien Breed or Dead Nation you know what to expect. But be aware that even though the lighting and sound effects are nice, virtually everything else is below par.

    Primal Fears does come with functional co-operative play, which isn't the worst time-killer if you and a friend are bored, but otherwise it's a disappointingly lacklustre title.

    A lot of these reviews aren't even true, for example I can join online servers with people who are not my steam friends so I don't know what the fck that guy was talking about that reviewed this game earlier. This is not a triple A game but that doesnt mean its not worth buying. I personally think the great was a great deal and a ton of fun. its like a lax diablo 3 with guns and zombies. Definitely a fun game for great casual co-op play with friends. anyone who likes over the top torchlight like gameplay games with a more casual setting (for example no skill tree) then this is a game you definitely want to pick up.… Expand
