60 of 172 · most liked firstI really like r6 extraction, but Ubisoft just completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game over. For starters, despite being based off the outbreak event the monsters are just this black goop stuff instead of actually being the mutated spikey humans they were in the outbreak event. They abandoned this game very quickly, with it receiving practically no content updates since launch, yet it still features a lot of expensive skins you can buy. Not to mention this game does actually have some really cool…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont buy the game. It's not bad. It's kinda fun actually. finding a lobby takes only 1-5 minutes most of the time. But paying $40 for a abandoned game has got to be a humiliation ritual. Shame that ubisoft left this game in the shadow.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I occasionally come back to revisit this game in denial of it's lost player-base. It had so much potential, I still think it's one of the saddest game deaths. Underrated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would recommend if you enjoy extraction shooters which include pve rather than pvp. Game gets stale after a while sadly due to ubisoft not caring about games that don't make enough money for them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun gameplay, I personally love it, but since even singleplayer is locked behind an always-online connection - this game gets a genuine 0 from me. If they added offline singleplayer functionality, then it would be one of the best games Ubisoft has made. So I would say enjoy the game while it lasts, because it wont last long - Ubi will eventually shut the servers down as they do with every other game they deem to be below profit margins.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is really good. it's the best parts of siege without the bad, and brings back the traditional rainbow six without the downsides. however, ubisoft doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about quality and would rather murder-suicide extraction while mass producing ♥♥♥♥♥♥ siege black ice reskins for their hivemind of nine year old jynxzi viewers. this company used to be worth 12 billion dollars. it is now worth not even a billion. i hope that whoever buys this company once they declare bankruptcy pays at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think they could've fixed this but, Ubisoft being Ubisoft, they abandoned it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game needs more love it's honestly so fun and deserves more players and more content!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is sad to see, that Ubisoft has abandoned this game shortly after it´s release. It has a pretty solid base. I really enjoyed testing out all the operators with their different loadouts. Completing this game to 100% + all achievements made a lot of fun. Something i can´t say to many other games I have played in my life.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yahtzee Croshaw once said that there are two types of games: Those that make you feel, and those that make you numb. Safe to say, Rainbow Six Extraction fits comfortably in the “numb” category. The kindest thing you can say about it is that it’s just another mediocre extraction shooter to add to the ever-growing heap. If I’m being honest, though, I don't know who this game was made for. The prevailing thought my friends and I had while playing it was, “Why play this, when there are better…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please please please bring this game back to life. 1700 hours on console years ago at launch. My favorite extraction shooter ever. Was way ahead of it's time. And that was it's downfall. And I'm not a siege player at all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly just make the game Free to Play as you did with R6:Siege. It's abandoned, player base is super tiny, and there's not enough content to warrant such a price. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and since Terrorist Hunt from the R6:Siege is long gone, this is all the PvE content we got left.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →👍 Siege, but with Aliens (and no screaming teenagers) If you love the tactical gameplay of Rainbow Six Siege but hate the toxic PvP scene, this is actually a really solid co-op game. It takes the slow, methodical approach—breaking walls, setting traps, drone scouting—and applies it to a PvE alien infection scenario. The MIA system is intense; if your favorite operator gets downed, you have to run another mission just to rescue them, or they are locked out. It is repetitive and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its fun but no new content at all. gets boring quiet quick..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I REALLY love this game. I would give it a 9/10. a nine out of ten only because it gets a little repetitive at times. If Ubisoft would just add things periodically I would Greatly appreciate. If you want an experience that can get both intense, blood pumping, and requires patience/quick thinking this is for you. UBISOFT PLEASE BRING THIS GAME BACK.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ok first off the game is good it has those times that are fun and make me wanna play but after you get every character to level 10 there isnt much to do sure you can get them to pretege 10 but that takes 10 years and you only get one outfit for the character that looks terrible the game is old and that means there isnt enough players they know they as they gave up on it but for the harder stuff like maelstrom and crisis and assignments you need 3 players so you have to join a discord server or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a decent coop PvE shooter, but it has some major shortcomings. Playing solo can feel like a complete slog with it's repetitive nature, and unless you have a coordinated group the difficulty spikes can be harsh. And with no dedicated single player storyline the whole thing just falls flat. Not recommended, unless you have a group willing to join you
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction has an interesting premise, but repetitive encounters and lack of variety make it feel shallow after a few hours. The alien enemies don’t evolve much, and the game struggles to stay engaging without strong mission hooks. Decent for tactical fans, but falls flat compared to other shooters.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game but it's not even as good as it was, I have to queue multiples times to get into a match... with a full party.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS GAME!!! its 1000% better and more fun then siege, think of it like helldivers but more tactical and more heavy on being stealthy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could have been great like Outbreak, but they turned the alien threat into generic enemies with no real unique looks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, don't understand the hate. This game is fun and feels a bit like GTFO. My wife just got me into seige and offhandedly mentioned this game and I was imideately interested. Having played it with her, this game rocks. It's nice playing a pve with seige characters. I know its super unlikely, but I'd love to see more ops come to this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ubisoft is good at being terrible. Master fumblers. Bumbling fools you might say. I would not put any stock or value in anything stamped with Ubisoft.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no good, don't bother getting it on sale either...not worth $10. The event they did for this years ago was better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is one of the more ambitious spin-offs set in the Rainbow Six universe. Playing in the Siege world but in a completely different scenario is really cool. Using familiar operators and maps from Siege now turned into infested zones gives a fresh experience. Seeing these maps in altered, infected versions is honestly awesome. I don’t really understand all the hate this game gets. It’s true that Ubisoft has somewhat abandoned it, and there’s no guarantee of future updates, but that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been playing this game with my friends for a couple of months now and its a lot of fun. The missions, while similar in concept, have a lot of variation to keep you engaged. The gun play fells great and offers customisation without overwhelming you with too many options. The game does have some stability issues during launch, but these disappear once you're actually in game (I've only crashed during a mission once). The game runs fine on my laptop, though the opening cut scenes while the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy it's broken on linux.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Graphics 10/10 and Physics 10/10 and gameplay is 9.1/10 IS GAME IS GREAT
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meh Season Chimera was absoloutly amazing. I still remember it fondly. This game however, fails to deliver on Story. The Gameplay gets repetitive and Stale real fast. Honestly a Bummer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if ubisoft tried harder they might've made a game worth playing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lowkey slaps sometimes but its almost impossible to get matches nowadays
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: Attached specs. Rest of review is unchanged. Mmm, was decent for about 20ish hours. Very repetitive, but had some fun. I bought on sale. Ultimately, mixed thoughts. You have to connect to servers to start game. Just FYI. No 'offline' play, but there is 'solo' play, albeit limited. Game has plenty of graphical options. Very on par for the course as per modern Ubisoft. Lots of accessibility options, graphics settings to fiddle around with and tweak to your needs, and customizable keys.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game in concept and execution. Just disappointed they quit updating it. Not worth $40, wait until there's a sale or have a friend give u buddy pass. Beginner friendly, fun with friends, somewhat difficult at the hardest difficulty. Just make sure you don't have a friend who run & guns at that point. Pay attention to guides and PLEASE GOD USE THE TUTORIAL.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it really sucks that Ubisoft abandoned this game as it really limits progression and the gameplay loop feels very stagnant even with the operator/gun/gear and map variations, but I think that with some other added gamemodes that could have been fixed. I like this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For all the faults of Extraction, I wish there were more tactical co-op PvE games in this vein.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →they havent and are not going to update it even though its fun if they updated it i would recommend but they dont so i dont recommend
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs to open Ubisoft Connect, then asks me 5 times to make changes to my device, takes forever to optimize shaders, get to the menu, start training, crashes my PC, reboot, start over, shaders are quick to optimize for some reason, start training, change unplayable sensitivity, open about 5 doors trying to figure out where I need to go, crashes my game "Oh no, send crash report?" sure why not, "OK" button at the bottom doesn't work, click "X" at the top, restart the game, now it REALLY takes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rainbow Six Extraction is a tactical co-op shooter that takes the operators from Rainbow Six Siege and puts them into a PvE alien outbreak setting. Instead of fighting other players, you and your team enter containment zones, complete objectives, fight alien enemies called Archaeans, and try to extract safely. The game is slower and more tactical than most zombie or alien shooters, which makes teamwork very important. One of the best parts of Rainbow Six Extraction is the operator system.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you need friends
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →plays good, loads good, theres a demo try it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game, just no longer gets updated. it's a pity that Ubisoft just leave this alone. if this game gets updated and gameplay is improved, i am pretty sure that many helldivers, GTFO and even DRG players will rush in and play. Ubisoft set a good foundation but didn't build the tower. tldr: this game worth a try if you got money to spent. my r word to ubisoft,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Problem with the drivers while game gets no updates/is dead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although the game is tons of fun, there is almost nobody playing anymore. The game also needs an update with more content but that probably won't ever happen. Only get the game if you have friends to play with or don't mind playing solo.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're looking for a review on this game you've come to the wrong place, but if you're looking for an outstanding pie recipe you've come to the right place. Ingredients: 1. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 2. 1/2 cup white sugar 3. 1/2 cup brown sugar 4. 1/4 cup water 5. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 6. 1 pinch salt 7. 5 apples - peeled, cored and sliced 8. 1 pastry for double-crust pie Directions: 1.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is like Stranger things and i love it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a very solid Co-Op extraction game, too bad it never truly took off.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Waste of money. Its a stutter fest and has almost zero player base.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →abandoned ubislop
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, so, let's start this off by saying: I love this game. I don't know how many times I need to say it but I love this game. Yet there is a reason I am giving this a negative review. This game has been actively ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up drivers on Windows 11. I've had to reinstall my GPU drivers because of this game. If you are on Windows 11, I just cannot recommend this game because it is too much of a hardware risk. Please do not buy this if you are on Windows 11.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game so DAMN much, buy it if it's on sale, i've played for at least 80 hours grinding content. don't expect updates, don't expect anything besides base content.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game its not bad overall. i did not know why there was so much hate about it when it release .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could have been amazing but failed in basically everything it tried and needed to do which is baffling to say the least. By pure chance, the Outbreak event in Siege gave Ubisoft the layup of a century and they messed up SO badly. Extraction is a historical miss and its really sad. However, I bought this during a major sale for 75% off. The game, depending on your edition of choice, is ten to fifteen dollars as I'm writing this and its absolutely worth it. If you like Siege, and Extraction is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game solely to play with her. Despite everything, for some reason, it is still a good memory to me. Is that sad?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ off dude what even is this why was this made instead of making the old chimera event a paid dlc for siege lul
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fun, better with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Game Is DEAD. Problems with drivers, no updates, no fix, just abandoned. Tries downgrading drivers, installing again, changing the config file and nothing seems to be usefull. I do not recomend to take this game even if it has discount for everione who has a 5y old or less graphic card.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great idea, almost good execution but ubisoft did it's absolute best to trash it. It's still playable and fun with friends. IF you are interested, you'll probably like it a lot. But it has no new content and barely any players playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"The game is dead wah" Bro I play this game everyday with a small group of active players on the official Rainbow Six Extraction discord server. I PLAY EVERYDAY ALWAYS HAVE FULL SQAUDS. Join us. "Waaaah I can't play offline" Cry more this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks by yourself. "Waaah Waaah Waah this game isn't enough like siege. It deosn't have a battle pass. Blaah blaah blah wah." Do I even have to elaborate on this? Seriously? My serious review. This game is fun ESPECIALLY with people. Even…
