Tom Clancy&s;s Rainbow Six Extraction

"An approachable spin-off of a competitive multiplayer hit, this co-op shooter struggles to emerge from beneath its predecessor&s;s shadow."

"To be honest, Rainbow Six Extraction is a good PvE shooter that works very well when played with friends and offers great gunplay. Well, it is also true that the overall balance is not optimal and the difficulty rate is …"

"Rainbow Six Extraction includes some interesting mechanics and a core gameplay loop that you can find fun in. However for all the positive aspects, the big issue is how quickly it falls apart into a grindy, frustrating mess while trying …"

"Rainbow Six: Extraction tries – and fails – to bring the Rainbow Six: Siege paradigm to PVE multiplayer."

"While it doesn’t execute fully with its foundation, it does take more risks than I expected, to the point where it’s going to be worth a look for some folks — but only just so."

"Tom Clancy&s;s Rainbow Six Extraction can be a lot of fun with a couple friends, but the lack of a traditional single player campaign and cohesive narrative makes it feel more like a Rainbow Six expansion than a full-fledged game."

"For my tastes, it doesn’t quite go far enough in some places, and it has lost a bit of that identity that makes Rainbow Six games special, but if you’ve got a few friends who are curious about it then …"

"‎A very demanding tactical multiplayer, which takes advantage of the agents and mechanics of Rainbow Six to propose cooperative raids against archaea. At the moment, it has 4 locations (12 maps), which is a good starting point, although we are …"

"Rainbow Six Extraction is a mixed bag of right and wrong. It&s;s carried primarily from its tactical, yet intense gameplay. In concept, it strays completely away from what actually defines a Tom Clancy game."

"Rainbow Six: Extraction&s;s core gameplay is decent, and its level variety is great, but the game definitely has some blind spots. While a zombie title focused on stealth and tactics makes for an interesting experience, anytime the game strays from …"

"Is the game worth your time? Yeah, it’s worth a go, it’s on Game Pass, innit? This is where I can see Rainbow Six Extraction shine. Very dimly. If the game poses a genuine challenge and a progression system that …"

"When Extraction plays well, it plays excellently. That’s no doubt that, in part due to the strong foundations that helped to define Siege as an incredibly detailed first-person shooter, and by scaling back to focus on a co-operative experience, Extraction …"

"It&s;s perhaps not what Tom Clancy fans had envisioned for the series, but there&s;s something to Rainbow Six Extraction that&s;s definitely worth checking out. It stands apart from similar co-op shooters thanks to that tactical edge and gunplay it&s;s inherited …"

"Rainbow Six Extraction is a neat standalone follow-up to Siege&s;s Outbreak mode of 2018 – it has potential but is yet to fully realise it."

"We can’t recommend Rainbow Six Extraction if you’re planning on playing alone, especially on PlayStation platforms where you’re expected to pay £40 for the privilege, but if your regular gaming group is bored of the game you play every night, …"

"Though progression feels too closely tied to a mediocre challenge system, Rainbow Six Extraction offers fun incursions against a parasitic alien threat and rewards teamwork."

"Rainbow Six Extraction is a fun cooperative PVE version of Rainbow Six Siege whose origins are in the Outbreak event."

""Extraction is a game that was clearly stuck in development hell for a reason. Ubisoft eventually came to the realization that it was time to get this game out the door, and the result is a jumbled pile of ideas …"

"Rainbow Six Extraction is a mixed bag of good ideas and weak implementations. It’s unfortunate that the bad manages to outweigh the good, because underneath it all, Rainbow Six Extraction&s;s gameplay approach holds promise. It’ll be interesting to see how …"

"More than any other studio, Ubisoft is willing to mutate its existing IPs until they scarcely resemble what they once were."

"This tense co-operative shooter is thoroughly entertaining, as much for the ideas it borrows as the ideas it comes up with"

"As much as I enjoy the moment-to-moment gameplay of Rainbow Six Extraction and have had a blast with it both solo and in co-op, it&s;s impossible to overlook the glaring balance issues and lack of any kind of appealing endgame …"

"Rainbow Six Extraction brings some great new ideas to the venerable first-person shooter as it morphs to a sci-fi co-op game, but it doesn&s;t distinguish itself quite enough to stand out on its own merits."

"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 …"

"Explosive, exhilarating and endlessly entertaining, Rainbow Six Extraction is arguably Ubisoft at their best and most confident."

"Rainbow Six Extraction delivers consistently engaging and satisfying gameplay that fans of tactical shooters will undoubtedly enjoy. However, its longevity and overall appeal seem uncertain."

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

"Extraction&s;s true pleasure lies in playing with others and collaborating together at every step.‎"

"As long as you know that it&s;s dangerous to go alone, Extraction is a blast. With Ubisoft Montreal looking to add more content in the future, I&s;ll be ready to exterminate alien parasites for a long time to come."

"‎Effective in the mechanical and with enormous potential for its creators to nourish it with more content in the future, Rainbow Six Extraction is a safe bet for those who love zombies, but with a proposal that is clearly oriented …"

"Rainbow Six Extraction is a game that struggles to leave the shadow of its predecessor behind, but that sounds like a bit of an injustice too. Ubisoft has tried to replicate the success of Siege‘s Outbreak mode and the game …"

"I enjoyed playing Extinction, even with the randoms who were just trying to be agents of Chaos. But I don’t think I would spend a lot of time with it, these days with so many great games as choices it …"

"Rainbow Six Extraction&s;s ridiculous plot and repetitive nature prevent the experimental spinoff from achieving its full potential."

"Rainbow Six Extraction&s;s tactical PvE is good, punchy fun with a squad, and has a couple of nice little twists - but that&s;s about it."
