    This game isn’t perfect, but I still gave it a 10 because it has hooked me for 700+ hours now with all its new content being added and unique tactical gameplay. It will kick down in the first few hours of play, but I guarantee you will learn from your mistakes and finally reach a point where you can understand why I love this game so much. Must pick this up!

    Siege is an extremely dynamic FPS that is constantly changing and improving upon itself. It takes the concept of a hero shooter and blends it with intense team based action. Every action matters. Every round is different.

    Wow! Rainbow Six Siege is right now one of my favourite multiplayer tactic shooter out on the market... Before I get to the good stuff, I will talk a little bit about the bad stuff that is part of thise game...

Rainbow Six Siege is right now one of my favourite multiplayer tactic shooter out on the market... Before I get to the good stuff, I will talk a little bit about the bad stuff that is part of thise game...

    No story mode: No matter how FUN this game is without singleplayer... I really think that they missed on a big chance, to make this game even more interesting and fun... Yes, some of you will say - they do have story mode but srsly guys? These ''situations'' are literally a bunch of tutorial missions to get you to know with several gameplay mechanics and tactics and maps... There is no story, no depth and you can't even play those missions in coop. With a story mode, which could've easily swapped the ambience of siege from casual into deep tactical coop shooter (at least for that one sp mode) making it a more interesting and catching game for people that don't really enjoy the casual/competitive side of the multiplayer experience...

    Unranked Matchmaking with randoms: No fun. No balance. No teamplay. Play ranked with your friends!

    Unlocking DLC Operators without spending money: Of course, how nice of Ubisoft that they give us the chance to unlock new operators by just grinding the game... But the amount of ingame currency those cost, is insane... nearly a slap in the face for everybody who thought that this game has no ''pay for dlc'' - dlc... Don't get me wrong, love this game and think that buying the 20 euro season pass for additional operators is also you saying thank you to the devs for keeping this game alive. But additional to the 30-50 euro you probably spent for the hole game, this just feels wrong. Unlocking 1 operator with ingame money will definitely take you more than 5 hours.

    Now to the good stuff!

    The gameplay: The core of this game is pretty simple. Attackers find and destroy, capture or rescue the obj while the defenders have to defend their obj. Thanks to the operators and the constant updates, this game never gets old. Every operator opens another door to tons of tactics that can be used to overcome the enemys - making the pretty simple core of the game deep and challenging. This game also has 2 modes for pvp, casual and ranked. Both are pretty balanced and a lot of fun to play - but keep in mind! playing with friends is a must if you really want to experience the full game.

    Events: With the temporare release of that zombie mode, you can see that the devs try their best to keep this game alive and fun. and holy quakamoly - that zombie mode is hard!

    In total this game is an 8/10 for me... I just wished a more exciting coop experience - as the gameplay mechanics could've easily made that a hit. In the end, the only reason why this game is stil relevant is that the devs keep balancing the gameplay with patches, buffs and nerfs - what i also love is the goal that this dev team has and that they keep updating the game with additional content. The skins are not a must have, which is why I did not comment on that part of the game.    … Expand

    This game is probably one of the best tactical shooters currently on the market. With a group of friends, it's very fun. Being able to make multiple strategies with different combinations of operators it's enjoyable (Or you can just rush as recruits). It grinds can be a little tedious especially for newer players, but if you invest the time into playing the game, it can be very enjoyable.

    Rainbow 6 siege is the most recent entry into the rainbow 6 series but don’t let the name fool you as this is quite different to the other games in the series. Rainbow 6 Siege is a team-based, fast paced, tactical shooter that pits two teams of five against each other to fight over one of 3 objectives (bomb defuse, secure area, and hostage rescue). The game definitely knows what it wants to be and has a clear direction as to where it’s heading in the future. This coupled with constant updates brining around balance changes and new operators make for a constantly evolving community driven game that doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
    Graphics and sound
    The game isn’t the best looking game out there but that’s doesn’t mean that it looks bad. The game has all round good detailed models and textures and lighting system although on some levels it can be hard to see opponents if with the overwhelming darkness of shadows and ambient occlusion but this can be disabled on the pc version. Animations are good all round and the different characters are distinct and recognisable. The sound design is also very good which is important as the game can be quite reliant on sound at times. Different abilities and gadgets have unique sounds so that you always know what’s going on around you.
    Story
    The games story takes a backseat to gameplay but you can learn about the world you are fighting in and the operators you are playing as through the “situations” and operator biographies but don’t expect and awful lot from the game in this department as you will likely be disappointed as there is little that really affects how you think about the game but some of it offers some interesting backstory.
    Gameplay
    The game is based around being competitive and that shows in the way that ubisoft have marketed and developed the game. They have put a lot of effort and work into the competitive esports scene and it’s only getting better with bigger prize pools, better venues and constantly evolving competitive meta game, however they have set up the game differently for the professional players so everything that they do doesn’t exactly map onto ladder play for the average player.
    Ubisoft have shown how they care about their game and want it to be the best game it possibly can mechanically with the most recent addition being a complete overhaul on the recoil system making large improvements to the way the weapons work and feel. They are also adding in new mechanics with every new operator so the game is always evolving both competitively and casually whilst not changing the core reason people are playing.
    All this good does however come with a caveat that being that the game doesn’t do a great job of teaching new players what each of the operators do and how the game is played. This could lead to a lot of new players feeling cheated by some of the systems or just leaving because they don’t understand what is going on in the game. It also means that player looking to learn how everything works will likely have to go to the internet to find out which can lead to an inconsistent new-player experience as everyone goes to different sources for their introduction to the game.
    The destruction system also plays a huge part in the way that you play allowing coordinated teams to have a huge advantage over teams who don’t manage resources well. The systems keep games from getting stale as you almost always have more than one way of approaching objectives and you can always keep the other team guessing and being smart about which walls they choose to reinforce (which limits what operators can destroy the wall). This system also allows for defenders to take improvisational positions which can be based on what attackers have done previously which keeps the game about more than just mechanical skill and opens up opportunities for player who want to strategize to do so.
    Monetisation
    The game does have micro-transactions but they are by no means required to enjoy or get good at the game, they mostly allow you to access post-launch operators faster if you want to know more about these you should look into them (I can’t go into more detail because of the 5000 word limit but I don’t think they are a huge issue)
    Overall thoughts
    Rainbow 6 siege is a fantastic game that I would highly recommend to anyone that enjoys shooters both casually and competitively. The game has more to offer than most games in its genre with its high skill celling and constant updates which keep the game fresh and interesting with introduction of new operators, maps and balance changes. The game, however can be quite hard for new players to learn. It has a lot to offer in terms of gameplay and esports and I can see it becoming one of the largest esports with ubisofts commitment to their game. If you play this game you could get potentially thousands of hours played and still have ways to improve.    … Expand

    Spent hundreds of hours, enjoy the gameplay, graphics, sounds, mechanics, levels (not all), patches with new content and so on.
    After a lot of years, I found a "tactical" shooter with a decent community.

    Would totally recommend to give it a chance

    Characters are called Operators in this game and each one of them has a special ability (like throwing cameras). Every Operator is equipped with two guns, a rifle, and a pistol. Each side (Attacker or Defender) as different equipment, Attacker can be equipped with either throwables (Grenades, Smoke grenade, Flashbangs) or a claymore; A defender can be equipped with either a Barbed wire or a Deployable shield. This feature creates a dynamic that is extremely similar to real indoors combat.
    This game has a very thin line between quiet and elaborate gameplay to total chaos. For example, I remember playing with my friends, we were quietly sneaking into the building on the floor above the objective when suddenly the enemy team threw an impact grenade that blow-up the ground under our feet and made us fall into a chaotic firefight.
    Many critics express their contempt for the lack of a single-player campaign in the game. They’re wrong. I think the lack of a campaign is better because the multiplayer mode compensates for it. In addition, I am a social person and I can’t play solo.
    Ubisoft just released the new roadmap for year 4 of the game. The roadmap tells us that this year they are going to release 8 new operators, a new map, and rework 3 old maps. The first two operators to get release will have special abilities that will change the game as we know it. The first one, a defender named Mozi and an attacker named Gridlock. The former will have a special ability that is to take over the attacker’s drones and the latter will have the ability to throw a spiked net wherever she wants. These are exciting news, and I am waiting for them with the utmost hype.
    For conclusion, Rainbow Six Siege is the most enjoyable game that I have ever played. This game doesn’t even need a singleplayer mode because the multiplayer is so awesome.    … Expand

    Начну с Минусов:
    - Скупость контента, на время написания отзыва, было только три Эвента! В отличие от других проектов Ubisoft.
    - Не самая удобная монетизация внутриигровой валюты. Либо ты покупаешь слишком много, и остается ненужная часть, либо ты покупаешь недостаточно, и приходится докупать еще + часть которая не нужна. - Порой не логично работающая система подбора соперников, которая    Начну с Минусов:

    - Порой не логично работающая система подбора соперников, которая сначала закидывает тебя на сервера где ты по логике вещей вообще быть не может, после чего после полу минутной загрузке сообщает об ошибке и ,,кикает,, тебя из-за высокой задержки сети, хотя ни у кого более подобных ситуаций не встречал.
    - Отсутствие у многих ранних персонажей внятной биографии и предыстории, что в последнее время исправляется с приходом в радугу новых оперативников.
    - Наличие мелких багов: провал персонажей, деактиватора под текстуры, порой не логичная система разрушения, не срабатываемый хитбокс персонажа и читеры.
    Из плюсов:
    +Действительно интересная механика командной игры, в стесненных локациях.
    +Достойная подача продукта и русскоязычная локализация.
    +Хорошая оптимизация и реалистичное звуковое окружение.
    +Развитие тактического мышления и командной игры, так же есть возможность игры в соло, только потом не жалуйтесь что вас первого из всей команды убирают.

    if you think you're actually gonna be using tactics, the whole community will treat as a laughingstock but that's the joy of it. despite the gritty setting, the community is one of the silliest ones out there and it contains almost no tactics at all. Expect trolls, toxicity and a hell load of fun.

    The graphics are spectacular with them adding a ultra graphics pack for those looking for scenery, although you won't be getting much of that when you're killed. There is blood but no gore :( and maps have a day night cycle except for year 3 maps because they became lazy but holds up today in a era where games keep setting the bar higher, R6 manages the pull up.

    Gameplay is very varied. All operators have a special charm to them due to their personalities and abilities ranging from a mounted turret (way too overpowered in my opinion) to a electrocuting shield, making sure you won't be fighting the same battle over and over as they also offer a wide selection of maps with their latest at the time of writing being a Austrailian themed garage merged with a restaurant? Gunplay isn't the basic call of duty straight lined recoil, and it feels great to kill a enemy and might even leave you frustrated but commending the enemy at the same time.

    The only thing that irks me is that there is a lack of singleplayer content. Sometimes you just want a little alone time and you'll be greeted by terrorists in terrorist hunt where you kill terrorists with the great variety of..... gunner and bomber. There is also Situations where you learn the basics of the game and the inch of story it has which you can complete in 2 hours. I get that it's multiplayer but a singleplayer campaign would have been nice and although situations teach players how to use some operators, it would be appreciated if they added more for newer more complex ones.

    tl;dr: Fun multiplayer with great community but lacks singleplayer content would recommend to those bored of cs 8/10    … Expand
