‣ Final notes: If you played the Outbreak event on Rainbow Six Siege a few years ago this won’t look any different to you in fact I would say this spin-off is a weaker cousin of the event we saw. Nothing here is new. If you have a good chunk of hours on Rainbow Six Siege, like myself any gameplay that you will see here won’t be new to you. Honestly there are good ideas here and there, but everything you see in the first 2 to 3 hours is what you will keep seeing later. Enemies get boring quick, spores that blind you 15 seconds later become a nuisance. The progression is slow and does not award you with anything fun besides unlocking some operators that you already know way too well. Playing this game solo is possible, but just like me you will find it rather depressing to play alone. I believe that this game is more fun with a couple of friends but good luck getting anyone who would like a tactical zombie shooter. That’s the other problem. Rainbow Six: Extraction relays heavily on tactics and stealth, you can’t just go in guns blazing, I mean you can, but you will be heavily punished implying that stealth is the right way to play this game. Overall, I think this game could’ve been more enjoyable if it was more narratively driven and not just a boring lore dump on meaningless information in the codex menu. And it is sad to see a game that has been delayed and in development for at least three years just recycle literally every asset from Rainbow Six Siege. If you just reused every possible asset, then might as well just make this an event again instead of a fully priced game. Rainbow Six: Extraction could’ve been a better game if it had drastically different gameplay, maybe even a turned based system like in XCOM.
