    Not a big surprise. The genre is a niche, the hype has been building for years, and Arc Raiders looks like it scratches that itch many players want right now. Especially disillusioned Tarkov and Hunt Showdown players have high hopes for it. Anyone who‘s into multiplayer FPS knows The Finals is the freshest game in it‘s genre in over a decade so the devs have already proven they can make things at least interesting and fresh.

    But again, the genre is a total niche with not much competition as of now. I think that‘s mostly why.

      And yet the article says Extraction Shooter over and over without mentioning what an Extraction Shooter is. Is this shit intentional, or do most game journalists just start some time after grade school?

        Game journalists gave Pokemon Legends ZA an 8/10 on average. They often have no clue what they‘re writing about.

        Not the journalist’s fault you are not aware of a decade old genre by now.
