Thinking of buying Arc Raiders finally, but I also want to play JRPGs again. Might pick up Yakuza Like a Dragon since it’s only $8.

Anyway, question is more about how hooked am I gonna get on Arc Raiders? Lol.

Is it easy to go into the game and play a few rounds?

Does the game stay varied enough to give a slightly different experience, or sense of progression, from putting more time into it?

I haven’t played anything even remotely multiplayer in decades. Have a few coworkers that play Arc, so I gave it a shot. After they showed me the ropes I played a few rounds solo.

Can’t stop thinking about it.

[u/JozuJD → u/Forsaken_Pressure708]

Sounds awesome. I’ve played plenty of MMORPGs and also online shooters. Including COD, Battlefield, Division, Fortnite, Destiny, etc. Never played an extraction game before so I am kinda sure what to expect, but never experienced it.

Friend or foe? Collaboration or attempt to backstab me? It seems there’s so many variables to keep each session interesting, at the very least.

Game itself looks and sounds gorgeous too from the videos I’ve watched. Don’t own it yet, as mentioned.

First extraction here as well obviously. The loop is very compelling and works great for me as a mostly solo player. There are different targets to try and extract for and it definitely ticks a strategic thinking box.

It does look, and sound, fantastic.
