MODERATORS
I mean, yea, trends exist.
The world progresses.
This thing is good.
What's bad is the marketing dark patterns and mtxs.
Yeah, what we really need is more:
Rogue-like deck builders
Oh, honey! It's time to choose one of three upgrades!
I'm playing the hell out of Escape from Duckov.
All the fun of a extraction shooter, only single player.
You might be interested in Zero Sievert. If you already own (or obtain) Escape from Tarkov there's an amazing Single Player Tarkov mod that is legitimately probably the best way to play the game.
Not a hard bar for the extraction games published on steam tbh. Glad the genre has a game thats decent after so many years
Uses Kernel Level Anti-Cheat
Aaaand I'm out. Soooo many shitty new games.
Kernel Level Anti-Cheat For Windows Only. Embark specifically publishes a build for Proton Users validated by Codeweavers. We don't have to worry about it :)
This is the same story for The Finals by the way.
It’s a little funny that all my multiplayer games work fine, and the only ones broken on Proton are mainstream ones I hate.
It’s like an invisible filter telling me “These devs are jackasses and the playerbase is toxic. Don’t play this.”

I can confirm, both this and The Finals (same developers) works great on Linux. No Kernel level AC for us. I even load into games faster than Windows people I'm playing with, and I just realized this is possibly why.
ProtonDB reports say that it runs great under Linux, including multiplayer, so I'm not sure if kernel level anti-cheat can really be in use. Maybe it's just under Windows?
I'm gonna give it a shot, and if it doesn't work I'll refund I guess.

'One of the biggest' You mean 'one of the only'? Extraction shooters aren't common that I'm aware of unless I'm out of the loop. The only big one before this I was aware of was Tarkov.
Isn't Deep Rock Galactic an extraction shooter?
No, not at all. Extraction shooters require you to take in gear, which you can lose. Find loot or better gear and extract with it. If you die during the mission you lose pretty much everything, high stakes are required. DRG has no stakes, you just go and complete a mission for some progression.
It is a shooter where you extract, but it isn't an extraction shooter. It's the same genre as Left 4 Dead.

You can play the flute on top of downed people. Goty honestly.
IGN put out a first preview video of Arc Raiders couple months ago and it was borderline hit piece. The quality of the video was unbelievably bad. They made the game look muddy, dated, and choppy. This wasn't IGN trying to showcase the game on some realistic typical gaming hardware. In reality the game is well optimized and visually really good on moderate level hardware. I hear the game looks fantastic on consoles. Maybe they'll do a full review now that the game is finally released but I question the journalistic integrity of IGN.
Maybe someone else on the IGN payroll will do a proper review because a big reason the review was ass is because the reviewer was also ass. He was literally pressing the "ESC" button at the bottom left with a mouse. IMO the biggest crime of this IGN review is that the reviewer still works at IGN.

whats an extraction shooter?
Take on missions, collect loot, leave the area. If you die, you lose everything on you. At least as far as I know, I don't play any but have seen some escape from tarkov videos.

You decide what gear to bring with you, get dropped into a map in some fashion, find loot, and try to make it to an extraction point alive. If you die, you lose what you brought with you and anything you found. Add in some AI enemies and PvP, and it can be fun. I feel that the most challenging part of making these types of games is finding that sweet spot between risk and reward. If it's too punishing, you'll feel frustrated, like you're wasting your time. Too easy and it's boring. ARC found the sweet spot. Very responsive ai enemies, working proximity chat for pvp to call a truce, very well designed maps, just enough help to keep you going back for more, great audio design, and extraction mechanics that result in some tense moments. I've played 4 or 5 raids on only one map and so far each time was been unique, tense, and fun. This is my first time playing an extraction shooter and I picked a great one. I'm usually pretty bad at pvp but this one just feels good.

I recommend Zero Sievert for anyone interested in the genre.
