Rainbow Six Extraction review
Ubisoft's Siege spin-off is a thrilling and messy take on zombie co-op.
73, a thrilling and messy take on zombie co-op.
Honestly wasn't expecting to see anything as high as a 7 or 8 when I entered the thread. Maybe it plays better than it looks in marketing

Kinda funny how you can guess which websites will give which scores, because it's Ubisoft, their games are soooo unoriginal compared to everyone else /s
The game is great for coop enjoyers and it actually feels like Rainbow Six at higher difficulties. Highly recommended.

Got 2 friends ready to go with this. Always love some co-op with friends.
His profile is but his content is not. Unless things changed.
Looking forward to this, one question.
Did they link the Rainbos Six Extraction (also Seige) cross progression across Xbox and PC?

You can play it now in NZ. Just played a session in the first map.
Eh, I see this sentiment a lot.
Siege at launch lacked content yes and had issues with servers, but the foundation was always there. It was a unique game right from the start, the updates didn't change that.
Edited. Don't want to derail the thread.
Anyways reviews are coming in a bit higher than expected.

Rainbow Six Extraction review
Rainbow Six Extraction launches straight into Xbox Game Pass tomorrow, trading the tense competition of Siege for a purely PvE experience against an alien parasite, for some reason. But you know what? We don't hate it...

Rainbow Six Extraction Review - Breach And Clear
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 review: Ubisoft’s experimental shooter tries its best, but it’s still under Siege
In this tactical sci-fi FPS from Ubisoft Montreal, I feel caught between past successes and a bold new direction.

Rainbow Six Extraction Review: Siege goes sci-fi
Rather than the usual story of shutting down a terrorist cell that was prolific in the early R6 games, Extraction instead pits the famous CTU team against a space parasite that’s threatening mainland America.

Review | Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Extraction
I remember seeing the initial coverage for this title and thinking, “That looks interesting, but I doubt it holds my interest long without a good story”. I was really freaking wrong there, as this story is not good, but the gameplay loop is so satisfying that I could see myself playing this with...

It says it has raytracing on the Xbox store, yet I can't find anything about it. Are we talking lighting or reflections here? Also I'm going to assume like most RT enable games, the Series S doesn't get a chance.
We gave it an 8. I was really surprised by this, as I shared the same sentiment as many here, and this was definitely not what I would have wanted for PVE Rainbow Six.
The actual game we got is a blast though, and far better than Back 4 Blood and most other co-op horde shooters.
It almost feels like GTFO but much more approachable, and the harder settings require a lot of coordination and real teamplay.
For sure a surprise.

Review: Rainbow Six Extraction
Rainbow Six Extraction blends Siege style tactics with X-Com soldier management. Extraction is a great experience with friends, and provides a deeper, challenging take on the modern co-op shooter.

7.5 from us
It's certainly fun with mates but will have longevity issues for sure

The foundtion no, but they did change a bunch mechanially and changing things up like map revisions, operatior revisions, and kept the support going for a long time, it sure helped getting the game more traction and staying power.
Better than I expected, though I typically tend to enjoy most of what Ubi puts out, my dislike for the company culture aside.
Wouldn't go out of my way to grab it, but Gamepass makes that a non issue. I love that goddamn service.

Reading it is not casual friendly,even on the easy difficulty because of the penalties for deaths...like an agent dies,you have to redo the map he died in to heal him or get him back...? what ??
Something like that, he becomes trapped in that level until there's a mission to save an operator.
Yea and this isn't even a new thing.
Vermintide had it too. And I believe Back 4 Blood has it as well.
In Back 4 Blood and Left 4 Dead it's basically a respawn mechanic within a mission.
In Extraction you can lose your character in a mission and you have to do another mission to get them back.
Siege is great so I don't know why people are surprised by the reviews. It was never going to be a disaster. I do wish it had more meat to it as it seems pretty barebone but I have confidence in the team.
