Its gameplay faults are easy to fix, and you don't have to guess if it'll have a good post-release support. --- Attack of the Fanboy - Elliott Gatica - 3 / 5 Rainbow Six Extraction is a mixed bag of right and wrong. It's carried primarily from its tactical, yet intense gameplay. In concept, it strays completely away from what actually defines a Tom Clancy game. --- CGMagazine - Philip Watson - 8 / 10 Rainbow Six Extraction is an excellent concept that will delight Rainbow Six fans that are tired of the PvP scene of Siege. --- Daily Star - Tom Hutchison - 4 / 5 Ultimately, this is a difficult, stressful game, but a fun one if you can pull off some epic stealth takedowns and are happy to quietly chip away at a mission, rather than go in all-guns-blazing. --- Destructoid - Chris Carter - 7 / 10 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. --- EGM - Michael Goroff - 6 / 10 Rainbow Six Extraction takes Siege's best parts-its characters and its gunplay-and successfully adapts them to a cooperative experience, but repetitive level design and an uneven progression system make the game feel more boring than it has any right to be. Extraction had all the elements it needed to be a great co-op "zombie" game, including an exact blueprint in Outbreak, but Ubisoft's obsession with keeping players grinding forever won out, making Extraction feel like more of an obligation than an escape. --- Gadgets 360 - Akhil Arora - 5 / 10 Rainbow Six Extraction is clearly not for most casual gamers. In fact, I would go so far to say that it feels like it's built for hardcore players only. Unless Ubisoft plans to massively tweak difficulty settings and play styles in the near future, Rainbow Six Extraction could end up being one of those titles that get lost between the couch cushions. --- GameSpot - Jordan Ramée - 7 / 10 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. --- GamesRadar+ - Joe Donnelly - 3.5 / 5 Rainbow Six Extraction is a neat standalone follow-up to Siege's Outbreak mode of 2018 – it has potential but is yet to fully realise it. --- God is a Geek - Mick Fraser - 9 / 10 Explosive, exhilarating and endlessly entertaining, Rainbow Six Extraction is arguably Ubisoft at their best and most confident. --- Hardcore Gamer - Chris Shive - 3.5 / 5 Tom Clancy'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. --- IGN - Luke Winkie - 7 / 10 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't distinguish itself quite enough to stand out on its own merits. --- IGN Spain - Jose Alberto - Spanish - 8 / 10 Rainbow Six Extraction is a fun cooperative PVE version of Rainbow Six Siege whose origins are in the Outbreak event. --- MondoXbox - Mirko Rossi - Italian - 8.5 / 10 Rainbow Six Extraction is an excellent example of how to evolve and diversify a saga without denaturalizing it. Siege's well-tested structure is effectively flanked by new mechanics designed for cooperative play, allowing the game to differentiate itself enough from the dense competition. All this is made more interesting by a good progression system and extra modes, ensuring a more than satisfactory longevity to the title. Definitely worth a try for anyone looking for a new co-op FPS experience. --- One More Game - Vincent Ternida - Wait Rainbow Six Extraction is an interesting pivot for the Rainbow Six franchise and could've easily been a great sci-fi horror co-op shooter if it wasn't for much of the preparation involved to get the best out of the game. --- PC Gamer - Morgan Park - 73 / 100 Rainbow Six Extraction is a fun and unremarkable co-op shooter with some very good ooze. --- Polygon - Austen Goslin - Unscored Rainbow Six Extraction is all grind and no payoff --- PowerUp! - Leo Stevenson - 8.6 / 10 Rainbow Six Extraction is a great co-op (or solo) experience built on the incredibly solid foundation of Rainbow Six Siege. Playing feels excellent and best when you're barely surviving, sneaking past deadly aliens and using tactics with your squad to eliminate the threat before it can do you any harm. --- Press Start - James Mitchell - 8 / 10 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction thinks outside of the box to provide a well-realised PvE experience that builds upon Siege's already solid core tenets. While its longevity has yet to be proven or seen, Extraction's addictive blend of cooperative, rogue-like, and stealth mechanics offers an engaging Rainbow Six experience, even if it's a bit out there. --- Screen Rant - Kyle Gratton - 3 / 5 Rainbow Six Extraction boasts satisfying gameplay and some interesting meta-game systems, but is bogged down by its repetitive missions. --- Shacknews - Ozzie Mejia - 8 / 10 As long as you know that it's dangerous to go alone, Extraction is a blast. With Ubisoft Montreal looking to add more content in the future, I'll be ready to exterminate alien parasites for a long time to come. --- Skill Up - Ralph Panebianco - Avoid Rainbow Six Extraction is a low point for Ubisoft. It's remarkable how little this title innovates over and above what already existed in Siege. This feels like a game that lost its way in development hell and is now just trying to recoup its development cost with an unjustified price tag. --- Spaziogames - Silvio Mazzitelli - Italian - 7.5 / 10 The new PvE formula is fun and engaging. Rainbow Six Extraction feels and plays like a true Rainbow Six, yet it needs some improvements in its structures and challenges. --- Stevivor - Hamish Lindsay - 7.5 / 10 Extraction is an above average experience. The gunplay is top notch – expected when it’s pulled directly from Siege – and overall is fun, if a bit shallow. While I can’t speak to its long term lifespan, it’s easy to recommend jumping in and giving it a whirl. --- The Outerhaven Productions - Keith Mitchell - 4.5 / 5 Rainbow Six Extraction is Ubisoft’s attempt to jump into the multiplayer survival arena and despite a few game balancing issues, is quite enjoyable. --- Too Much Gaming - Carlos Hernandez - 7 / 10 Ubisoft is playing the long game with Rainbow Six Extraction. Right now, you’re not missing much if you choose to give this one a pass on release, but there’s definitely potential here, making this one title worth keeping an eye on in the near future. --- TrueAchievements - Luke Albiges - 7 / 10 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 impossible to overlook the glaring balance issues and lack of any kind of appealing endgame it has at the moment. --- TrustedReviews - Ryan Jones - 3 / 5 In its current state, Rainbow Six Extraction feels like an excellent expansion pack to Rainbow Six Siege, or the starting point of a free-to-play game with a bright future. But I just don’t believe the content in Extraction currently justifies its high upfront cost, especially when you have to spend even more money to unlock cosmetic items. --- VG247 - Connor Makar - 3 / 5 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 you’ll have a blast jumping into it. --- Wccftech - Kai Powell - 7.9 / 10 Ubisoft Montreal's attempt at a cooperative alien survival shooter takes the operators and abilities that players love from Rainbow Six Siege and brings them into a familiar style of shooter that longtime fans of Left 4 Dead or GTFO can appreciate with a squad of friends --- Windows Central - Miles Dompier - 3.5 / 5 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. --- XGN.nl - Stefan Stuursma - Dutch - 6 / 10 Rainbow Six Extraction more or less feels like a big expansion, rather than a full game. There simply isn't enough variety in the gameplay, while the scale feels way too small as well. The inclusion of cooperative play softens the blow a little, and the shooting is a lot of fun. With that being said, there is just barely enough here to justify the price tag. --- Xbox Achievements - Richard Walker - 55% While it has a few nice ideas, Rainbow Six Extraction is nonetheless a generic first-person shooter that feels more like an expansion, rather than a full-blooded game. I’m not entirely sure Tom Clancy would approve. --- XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 8.2 / 10 It’s an interesting take on what is normally a very surface-level genre. Instead of focusing on giant set pieces and massive enemy counts TC’s Rainbow Six: Extraction asks you to take your time, watch your corners, and leave no one behind. --- submitted by /u/splicere [link] [comments]
