Second Extinction is a first person shooter game of the open world survival genre. The earth has been retaken by mutant dinosaurs and humanity has had to retreat to orbiting satellites, with a team dedicated to expeditions to obtain resources, restore operations centers and investigate enemy behavior. You can play Second Extinction alone or with two other players.
The map of Second Extinction It is divided into several regions with different levels of danger, which are adjusted twice a week depending on the efforts of the players in each region.

Early last month came the previous pre-season, where a new hero and horde mode were added to Second Extinction. With Pre-Season 7, horde mode has been updated and now it is possible to request an extraction from the fourth wave. Another change to the game is that the Tutorial is now the first mission for new players, although it is possible to skip it.
In my Second Extinction review I called it A hardcore survival FPS that introduces you to a fear of dinosaurs you didn’t know about, because the difficulty of the game is high and requires a lot of skill and cooperation to survive the expeditions. Although Second Extinction is best played as a team, it is also a good solo experience and one of the best indie FPS of the year on consoles.
