    At some point you have to assign proper value to your own time, because Extraction will not. There are too many good games out there that manage to do this better. If you are on PC, play GTFO instead. If you are only interested in GamePass games? Play Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Do you want tight Rainbow Six gameplay and tactics? Stick with Siege. There are no upsides to Extraction that outweigh the negatives here, and I cannot suggest it to anyone in its current state.

    The content of the missions is extremely repetitive, both in terms of gameplay and use of the same locations (with minor modifications) and even graphical assets. Moreover, the game tries to pretend to be a tactical action game, but in practice one is instead faced with chaotic action, where you lure most of the enemies from the entire level onto you after the first shot.

    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.

    Rainbow Six: Extraction is a fun co-op shooter for those willing to push themselves without entering the realm of frustration. Ubisoft made sure it's as accessible as possible, so it's really easy to form a fireteam across platforms and get to work. Replayable and interesting. [Recommended]

    All in all, I can say that I still enjoyed the variety and challenges presented by these enemies. [Review in Progress]

    Extraction’s grinding is no more or less rewarding than a clicker game. Its best asset is its underlying mechanics, which make for a solid shooter if you can find the right group of friends with which to play it. In the end, it’s not much more than a way to kill time until better, more interesting games arrive.
  4. As far as Rainbow Six Extraction goes as a whole, I think there's a lot of good here. The missions are challenging, the aliens are clever, and the progression system is rewarding enough to keep you interested. Nothing is going to blow you away or keep you playing for hours on end, but it works as an FPS you can have a really fun time with on occasion. Sometimes that's all you really need, isn't it?

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

    I can’t describe how boring this game is. Ubisoft is known for copy-pasting its own franchises until people are fed up. Rainbow Six Siege,I can’t describe how boring this game is. Ubisoft is known for copy-pasting its own franchises until people are fed up. Rainbow Six Siege, released in 2015, is a good game. Rainbow Six Extraction, released in 2022, is Rainbow Six Siege converted into PVE. All assets, characters, weapons, gameplay are shamelessly reused. The problem is, this game is not fun. You can have a good time playing a bad game, even more so in a co-op title. Rainbow Six Extraction is a bland game, devoid of soul. I would be surprised to find anyone who manages to enjoy their time with it.
