![]() ![]() ![]() Veteran Siege players might find it a little disappointing that the array of equipment and gadgets is just carried over from the main game. That might work rarely given the right set of objectives and generated enemies, but trying it often will result in lost operators. This isn't a game where a trio can just load in and run and gun. That said, the game doesn't really need the help in the tension department because it's quite difficult, especially for the first few hours. It succeeds in this area, asking players to think more strategically about decisions instead of just running and gunning-there's no guarantee they'll be able to extract lost operators later if they mess up. It's actually a solid way for the game to add tension to each attempt at a run. ![]() Going back into missions with other operators can help replace lost health. If successful, that previously lost operator is available again from the selection screen, albeit with low health. Players then have to pick a different operator and load into that mission and can extract (get it?) them. If a player's operator "dies" during a mission, they're unavailable from the roster screen. Players can't just passively regenerate health and actual packs are very, very limited.Įxtraction is a really interesting approach to the gameplay loop. How the game handles health is both unique-feeling and adds a degree of difficulty. ![]() The farther players go into the levels, the greater the risk, and of course, the reward. Players can choose to book it for an extraction point and end the mission in each of the sub-sections, or seek out the safe room and keep advancing. They'll confront not only one of a double-digit list of objectives in each sub-section of map, but a procedurally generated location of both those tasks and enemies.Įach main level has three sub-sections with safe rooms. For those who haven't played Siege, let's just say it's setting the industry standard for competitive multiplayer and therefore feels great here, too.Īt its core, a team of three operators must make infiltrations dubbed incursions into specific areas around the globe. Precise shooting, impactful weapons, leaning, crouching, it's all back and feels the same. Like presentation, Siege veterans will feel right at home with the gameplay itself. While pretty, it still feels very much like a Rainbow Six game at each stop, especially thanks to the expected environmental destruction. There's still the expected industrial levels and expected variance that comes with any modern-setting shooter, but areas within those have been overtaken by a parasite that smatters the walls, ceiling and floor. Where Extraction differs is in some of the sci-fi elements. And they'll recognize the included 18 of 60 operators from Siege. As a Rainbow Six game, the sound design is superb, whether talking about the voice acting or sound of gunfire or just overall ambiance. It'd be selling Extraction short to say it looks like Siege with a splash of sci-fi goodness thanks to aliens and a parasite overtaking various locales players will gun or sneak through.īut that's probably the most succinct way to talk about Extraction's presentation. ![]()
