Extinction

I won't lie to you, my first maybe half hour into this game, I was having a blast. Cool idea (though half stolen), decently executed, and genuinely fun to play.
Just one problem, it's waaaayy too repetitive and I had to force myself to finish this thing.
Now, repetitive gameplay isn't always horrible if your game offers other cool things connected to said gameplay to invest yourself into like story, exploration, rewarding level-up or progression systems, or effectively motivating you to improve your skill as a player.
This game does none of these and just barely does the last point.
- The story absolutely sucks and is definitely not worth mentioning
- There's very little lore to explore and map-wise, you're more incentivized to dash through it than pay attention to it.
- The level-up system seems in-depth but is actually quite shallow and just doesn't feel very rewarding. it leaves you having to level up to not die or lose rather than actually making you feel cooler or stronger
- For the last point, there are already so many levels that are each basically the same that willingly redoing levels for a better time... just no, finishing the game is a chore as it is.
So, yeah, all this game has going for it is gameplay, and don't get me wrong, it's fun, it's just that it's the same exact thing each and every level with just tiny little tweaks as you progress through.
So, who this game is for:
Someone who just wants to pop open a level every now and again and just kill some giant monsters to wind down and turn your brain off.
Who this game is NOT for:
Literally anyone who wants to invest themselves in a fun or interesting game/experience.
6/10
Do I personally recommend it? Fat No. But, there is still an audience for this kind of game, so I won't hate on it too much, hence the thumbs up.
I'm also giving it as high as a 6 because it has some pretty good potential, even though it does kinda fall flat.
