If you are one of the few people left on the planet that hasn’t played ARC Raiders yet, you can check out our review here. Editor-in-Chief Jon loved the game, saying “ARC Raiders walks a fine balance. It’s an extraction shooter seemingly purpose-built for the hardcore players, yet is surprisingly accessible, whether you’re playing with friends or going out there solo. It’s thematically dystopian, yet utterly beautiful to look at, full of bright splashes of colour and a cohesive overall design. It can be tense, thrilling, and downright terrifying, but it is also filled with surprisingly sweet and endearing moments with the sort of random, social interaction I’ve not enjoyed since the early days of Sea of Thieves. This is ARC Raiders, and it’s just the beginning.
It’s one of the best multiplayer games of the year, standing toe to toe with the giants in the genre. I’ll see you topside.”
