    I 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…

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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.

    👍 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…

    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.

    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

  • Steam user Steam user …5605Steam reviews · Jan 14, 2026 · 26 h played

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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…

    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.…

    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.

    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.…

This game has been actively ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up drivers on Windows 11. I've had to reinstall my GPU drivers because of this game.

    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…
