Second Extinction is currently tweaked for 2-3 players to be fighting side by side and it doesn’t seem as though there is any scaling that occurs, so playing alone is going to put you at a serious disadvantage and you’ll become quickly overrun, surrounded and dead. Meant to be played in 3 player co-op, you are technically able to play solo, but I don’t really suggest it. I have no doubt more will get added in the future, but get ready to kill thousands of raptors oh, so many raptors, as that’s the main fodder you’ll be assaulted by on a constant basis. There are of course some boss-like dinos, such as the T-Rex obviously, but there’s really only a handful currently in the game. These aren’t your normal dinos you’d find in your textbooks or movies though, as some of these can even teleport around or zap you with electricity. Team up with two other friends in 3 player co-op to blast away mutated dinosaurs. This seems like it’s going to be updated weekly and should be an interesting way to entice players to fight in or avoid in certain sections of the map. Each region will have its own threat level based on how much activity players are engaging with in each area. There’s currently only one map, but it’s large and sectioned into different regions. There are randomized side quests strewn about the map you’ll come across that can be completed or ignored, but they don’t take very long and give you rewards you’ll need eventually to start upgrading your weapons. Instead, your goal is simple: take back the planet from the dinosaurs by any means necessary. There are a handful of ‘main’ quests that you can partake in that give you a little bit of an objective, but don’t expect any semblance of a story at all. In its current state, there’s no traditional campaign or even narrative. A co-op experience at its core, gather some buddies and get ready to turn off your brain and blast away a ton of dinos in this entertaining FPS. Get ready for a large map, tons of vicious dinosaurs and plenty of guns. The console launch of Second Extinction has also brought its latest update, Preseason 4, with a bunch of new features, a new character and even a tutorial. Simply because of the dinosaurs, of course there’s a bit of a classic Turok vibe, but for its co-op mechanics it actually feels a lot like a Left 4 Dead or Vermintide. That said, it’s currently in Game Preview, meaning it’s still early in development, but it’s completely playable (debatable if you’re on an original Xbox One at the moment) and you can freely give your feedback to hopefully improve the game moving forward. Best of all, it’s also part of Xbox Game Pass, so there’s very little barrier to check it out. Stay tuned, to see how you will make a difference in the coming war.Originally released in Early Access on PC back in October 2020, developers Systemic Reaction has managed to meld some solid gameplay with everyone’s favorite, dinosaurs! Now the time has come for Xbox players to get in on the dino slaying action in Second Extinction. “Together with the rest of the community, your actions will shape the course of the war against the dinosaurs. From electric raptors to behemoth t-rexes that tower over their smaller brethren, these vile creatures are hard to take down. “These dinosaurs are nothing like our history books indicated, with strange mutations that make them even more lethal. “Fighting dinosaurs has never felt this visceral, with non-stop explosive combat scenarios and adrenaline-pumping tension as your small and isolated team moves through the world, facing enemies of greater numbers or greater size. Combine your unique abilities, weapon loadouts and equipment for explosive results. “Take on the role of one of the resistance fighters and team up with up to two other survivors to hit the enemy where it hurts. Through short but intense guerilla missions, your specialized fireteam is being sent back to Earth to pick the invasion force apart. The official description explains: “Mutated dinosaurs have destroyed humanity, and the few survivors left have fled to space.
