If you’ve picked up Arc Raiders and can’t seem to enjoy it, you’re not alone
I can understand if extraction shooters aren't for some people, but I don't understand what the author of this article is complaining about, except maybe just to get clicks. I LOVE Arc Raiders. I stopped playing other games to play this one, sadly including BF6 and PUBG.
I personally think it's one of the best games I've ever played (this is 40 years of gaming talking). It's challenging, risky, hard-pounding, and sometimes just plain cool. I like the feeling I get when I run into another player and have to figure out if they're friendly or not. I like sneaking around trying to avoid the Arcs, and the occasional shootout with them. The point when I press the button to call the elevator to extract still gives me a rush, because I know I just alerted everyone and everything to my location.
Granted, I'm taking it slow in this game. I don't have the greatest guns and equipment yet, and I'm okay with that. It doesn't feel like a job at all to me. Games with a big grind feel like jobs and I don't feel like this game is "grindy" at all. That's just my opinion anyway.
