Extinction: Deluxe Edition

About

Extinction: Deluxe Edition is a third-person action game where you play a soldier stranded on a hostile alien planet. Your mission is to survive waves of enemies while uncovering the truth behind a crashed military vessel. Combat mixes shooting, melee strikes, and resource management as you scavenge materials to craft weapons and upgrades. The single-player campaign emphasizes exploration and base-building, with environments ranging from dense jungles to ruined outposts. The deluxe version adds a session pass for extra challenges and content. The game’s fast-paced combat and evolving threats keep tension high, though some find the story pacing uneven. With a Metacritic score of 78, it’s praised for its atmosphere and replayability but criticized for repetitive enemy designs. It runs smoothly on PS4 and PC, making it a solid choice for fans of survival action with sci-fi twists. The 2018 release still holds up for its blend of combat and crafting, though newcomers might seek similar titles like The Outer Worlds for a more refined experience.
