    Not only is Rainbow Six Extraction a great cooperative shooter, it also differentiates itself from most of the competition by promoting a more tactical, reasoned approach: the Archean threat is not to be underestimated, as things are always a poor decision away from turning sour for your team. It’s a real shame that you have to unlock almost everything though, difficulty levels included.

    Compact, dense and interesting, Rainbow Six Extraction is an excellent retooling of a lot of the things that made the multiplayer focused Rainbow Six Siege work so well, with a sci-fi skin and oodles of progression. As with many games in the genre, if you’ve got the friends, Extraction will handle the fun.

    Inspired from Siege, the new Rainbow Six roots its strength in a mastered gameplay and a strong day one content. A potential hit if Ubisoft deserves Extraction the same follow up and update process than Siege.

    Rainbow Six Extraction is a fun and unremarkable co-op shooter with some very good ooze.

    Rainbow Six Extraction is a uniquely enjoyable entry in Team Rainbow’s history, though the significant crossover with its predecessor makes me feel like Ubisoft could’ve opted for a Siege expansion instead. It's not a huge problem for Ubisoft+ or Game Pass subscribers, sure, but it's a steeper ask for everyone else...That said, Extraction remains great fun, and the new settings meant my time with the familiar operators still felt fresh and interesting. It’s surprisingly challenging at times, and while missions do require trial-and-error, the level design is excellent. Extraction won’t set the genre alight like Siege did, though if you’re after a new PvE experience, I’d still give it my recommendation.

    The concept itself is original, as is the fact that your operators can be seriously hurt in between your journeys. But it’s just way too repetitive and its storyline is beyond bland. In the end, this is a truly average co-op shooter.

    Rainbow Six Extraction might be one of the most trite co-op shooters of recent memory. Testament to the fact that making an enjoyable PvE shooter is a little harder than simply rehashing a seasonal event, it's hard to see where the effort went. Shallow, scant, and lacking any soul whatsoever, it's as bland as the black goo that adorns its promotional material.

    Been playing with a friend and solo for the past 2 days. The experience is great so far.

    I love the mechanics of Rainbow Six Siege and using them in a coop PvE setting is very fun. At higher difficulty levels, the game can get pretty challenging while maintaining the fun factor. Although this feels more like an expansion of RS Siege, the game is cheaper than a full release and I feel it’s worth every penny. Worse case scenario, as another reviewer said, grab the PC Game Pass trial and make your own opinion of this game.

    It's like GTFO but being more chill, it has a progression of levels in the characters improving the abilities of the classic R6 characters. ItIt's like GTFO but being more chill, it has a progression of levels in the characters improving the abilities of the classic R6 characters. It is divided into 4 zones with 3 maps each, each zone has a higher difficulty level than the previous one.
    In my opinion, the result of bad reviews can be due to some of the failures due to the imbalance of some enemies or other things. In addition to the fact that one expects it to be the same as the event that was in R6, the thing is that it does not feel like something new but something different from what one expects, so not all R6 players have that you like this game

If you're lucky you end up with nice players that hang around and wait. But most of the time atleast 1 out of 3 are total rush garbage players that end up dying and causing a wipe. Expand

    Only 2 hours of actual content, the rest is standard Ubisoft repeating missions. Don't condone bad business practices by buying this game.
