The prehistoric period of Earth has long been a fascination for people in the modern day…but…we also admit that we likely would perish if we ever tried visiting it. However, with video games like Primal Planet, that’s not a problem, because the whole point is for you to try and survive such a period of history! The game by Pretty Soon came out for other systems last year, but now, it’s available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This Metroidvania adventure is all about you and your co-op partners doing what it takes to survive this prehistoric time…oh, and the aliens that come knocking:

“Embark on a thrilling journey as you follow the gripping tale of a cave dweller fighting to protect his family. Survive a brutal T-Rex attack and uncover a narrative blending the wild with intriguing sci-fi twists. Forge unexpected alliances as you unravel the truth behind an alien presence.

Survival in the wilderness demands cunning. Use natural resources to craft vital tools, weapons, and mixtures for healing and protection. Gain experience and upgrade your skills to overcome the countless dangers of a primal planet.

Discover diverse biomes, each with unique challenges and secrets. Traverse dense forests, sprawling plains, treacherous mountains, and mysterious ocean depths where danger awaits. Encounter a vast array of dinosaurs, from the majestic Apatosaurus to the terrifying Carnotaurus, each perfectly adapted to its habitat.”

Yeah, didn’t see the sci-fi twists coming, now did you? That just means if you haven’t played the game yet, you should really dive in to see what it’s all about!
