Extinction is a sword-slinging, monster-decapitating action game that does a decent job of getting the blood pumping and reflexes twitching. The eye-catching, anime-inspired art will even give you some nice scenery to do it all in. It just never rises to...
Man vs Ogre spectacle, Impressive destruction, Different ogre-slaying strategies
Too many obstacles and padlocks, Killing ogres grows monotonous, No checkpoints
Good ideas and some solid execution, but Extinction is a game of great ambition spoilt by pint-sized problems. All that limb-lopping, padlock-smashing stuff is just too fiddly. The controls and camera keep on getting in the way. Slaughtering the smaller g...

Enemies and assets are recycled, Environments are unremarkable, Gameplay is dull and repetitive very quickly, Characters and story are drab and generic, Frequent glitches and bugs add to the frustration
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 ga...

Delivers some thrills early on that occasionally resurface
Unreasonably repetitive missions, Randomized story missions feel cheap and don't make sense in context, Pointless and shallow combo system, Rules and objectives change without warning, Off-putting presentation and poorly written dialogue during story sequ
