Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction is one of the most intense and exciting co-op experiences available today. It's an incredible addition to the Siege universe and one that stands alone as a fantastic demonstration of innovation in an otherwise stagnating genre.
Rainbow Six Extraction offers players a surprisingly new experience, a more stealthy take on co-op shooters than is found in the competition. With blistering difficulty, tension to spare, and a delicious argument-inducing bug out mechanic, Extraction uses shooter mechanics in ways that feel utterly unique and original. Perhaps a bit light on content, but we all know that more will come in time. A stress-filled creepy good time, even for non-shooter fans.
In Rainbow Six Extraction, assemble your team of Operators to face an always-evolving alien threat. Keep one goal in mind, make sure no one is left behind.
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.
Video game spin-offs, in my experience, are at their best when they balance their twists on the formula with close reverence to the original. Too different,
Extraction is a bold reimagining of the co-op shooter that never came after the cancellation of Patriots. Some issues that needs to be worked out, but still a solid game for co-op fans.
Rainbow Six Extraction feels more like an expansion for Six Siege than a standalone game. It features a strong foundation that Ubisoft fails to build upon. Extraction can be a lot of fun playing with friends, but not so much if you plan on playing it alone.
I have to be honest: when I previously thought of franchises where I might encounter a paranormal force, Rainbow Six was not one of them. Siege has been one of the most consistent multiplayer shooters since its launch in 2015, nothing in my eyes would be slowing that game down. As it turns out I'm still correct, but that doesn't mean Ubisoft can't throw another R6 out to the masses. Enter Rainbow Six: Extraction, a game not centered on 5v5 multiplayer but instead on teams of 3 against an unpr...
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.
Rainbow Six Extraction is now out and boy oh boy, do we have a lot to say about it. One thing we can't say in this review is that it's going to be nice, though. Read about all the missed opportunities and find out whether the game is still worth buying.
Rainbow Six Extraction is Ubisoft’s latest attempt to introduce a multiplayer tactical shooter game that allows players to team up and fight against aliens. The game was first revealed during E3 2019. But at that time it had the name “Rainbow Six Quarantine.” Later on, in June 2021, its name was changed to Extraction. And after getting delayed three times, the game has been finally released for the PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
Rainbow Six: Extraction has all the trappings of a traditional Rainbox Six game, but throws us a curveball with the inclusion of Aliens. While the game initially has Left 4 Dead vibes, the stealth nature of its early game certainly works in its favor, leading up to its intense action-packed endgame
