As it is, it is still a blast to play, interrupted by quick frustrations that come from missed attacks that can completely stop an assault. If you are looking for a hectic hack-n-slash boss fighting game, Extinction is absolutely worth picking up. Those who can be quickly frustrated from bugs, however, may want to wait for a couple of patches.
An enjoyable collection of mechanics that are let down by the repetitive nature inherent in the game itself. If you enjoy the first couple of levels then you could play for years but if you don't find it the most riveting thing ever it will probably lose you long before the campaign is done.

This was in no way a game worth $60. I waited until the special edition was down to $18 and picked it up. I have to say, it was a very pleasant surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The story is decent enough. The gameplay is tight and enjoyable, although it might be a bit repetitive. The challenges are varied and trying to accomplish all the primary and secondary objectives makes for enjoyable replayability. The voice acting is quite good, the animated cut scenes are great for a change of pace and the other conversation pieces are fun too. The best part of this game, by far, is the art style in the gameplay parts. It's flat out beautiful, and makes the whole game more enjoyable. While I certainly understand other peoples disappointment with this game (especially at a $60 price tag) and get that this is not a game for everyone, it very much is for me.

Overall, Extinction is a fun arcade-style action game to be enjoyed not necessarily for a deep and atmospheric story but for it’s visceral fast-paced hack’n’slash action and its huge replay-ability.

If the base concept of Extinction is quite trendy at the moment (climbing on giants and slicing everything), the game fails in most respects with a highly repetitive gameplay, an empty story and no really memorable game mode.
Extinction is good when it comes to controls, but after a few hours of doing the same thing over and over again, boredom kicks in. Seeing as the other three modes are pretty much the same, we can state we are highly disappointed by this game.
Extinction is a game which just feels bad to play. It’s technically proficient, looks good and has everything it needs to be a functional game, but it never goes beyond that and assumes the player will be engaged just by the act of killing big monsters.
Play one hour of it and you've basically done a bit of everything it has to offer; then it's rinse and repeat for as long as you can bear to stick with it. It's a frail and monotonous game destined for the bargain bin.
I don’t enjoy writing about bad games. I understand making games is incredibly difficult, and I’m not claiming I know how to do it. But this game should not have been released. Someone, somewhere along the line, should have made the call to cancel this game. There is nothing to be gained from playing Extinction. Don’t bother at all.
I thought this game was okay it is a fairly fun arcade game, I like dismembering and killing the ogres but the story is mediocore and the ogres kill you way to easily, it is also very repetitive. I paid $9 for it at eb games and don't regret it. just don't pay more than $10 for it.

I had high hopes for this game but in the end my expectations weren't met. It's obvious a lot of love went into making this game but it really needed more time in developpement to be released.
The movements aren't fluid, you get stopped by bystanders. 25% of the time you won't climb the monsters and you'll get crushed instead.
The story feel pretty tacked on and you can see the use of the procedural generation even in the story mode. You often won't be able (or it'll be almost impossible) to complete some side missions because of the randomness of the enemy sent after you.
The game desperately needs more content. I was baffled to see a map or level editor wasn't available. This would go a long way to ensure replayability, at least more than randomly generated skirmishes.
Not worth $60, maybe not even $30. Get it when it's $20 or they added some content, if they even bother.
All in all, a real shame.

the upgrade or skill tree isn’t balanced. They game makes you grind early levels for what seems like no reward. The dialogue pauses the play of the game giving a stop & go feeling. There’s more believe there is more but the one positive for me personally was art style for the cut scenes.

I knew this game was going to **** after watching the first gameplay videos... but you know when you feel like giving a try anyway? Let my mistake be a lesson, please.
It seems to me that "Extinction" is the kind of game that should have been cancelled, but for some reason got the resources to move forward. It is NOT worth 60 dollars. This is the type of game that will be in the bargain bin in a couple of months; and probably will be given for free in a monthly update by Playstation Network.
At first it seems fun, but this lasts for 30 minutes. At most. The rest of the game is incredibly boring and repetitive. Attack on Titan is a much better game; with a much more interesting lore and mechanics.
So save yourself the trouble: don't get this at full price!

First off, I will admit that I rented this game from Family Video...I did not want to take a chance on paying $60 for an IP I know nothing about. Not only am I happy that I did not buy this game, but furthermore, I am happy that I only rented it for 2 days instead of 5.
I expected more from Extinction, I thought that a game charging full price would have enough content to justify that price, but I was wrong. You play a "nobody" hero defending a bunch of "nobody" people from a whole mess of "nobody" monsters. While there is potential in some of the gameplay mechanics, the repetition of the game greatly outweighs any clever mechanic.
There are 3 modes that play exactly the same, the only difference is that in one mode you can't respawn and in the other mode the levels are randomly **** the core gameplay is exactly the same. While it's not the worse game of all time, it is at the top of my personal list of bad games that I have played so far this year. Maybe with the season pass content (yes, they have a season pass too) they will introduce a new gamemode that does not involve "filling up your rune meter and saving civilians". We shall see. I would wait until this one goes on a %80 off sale to buy it.
