ARC Raiders

This game is in one word amazing, it is not some controlled environment that gets stale after a few playthroughs it is a dynamic experience. The robot Ai is the biggest problem for all players but the human aspect like in real life also poses a threat, as freedom of choice means every encounter could be your end. You can't control your experience in life and that is depicted in the game its the wild wild west, most people in the community are chill, but due to everyone being a possible threat if you don't announce yourself expect to be treated as a hostile. This is an incredibly polished game with amazing sound and dynamic weather, with thousands of ways to complete your task which includes using the computer ai as weapons, or extracting without firing a shot. This game shines from all its parts and creates a new experience with each playthrough. Should be GOTY.

Very fun and addicting game.

I play solo and there is very little PVP, which I prefer.. Solo players will help you out, drop you loot and generally do not shoot on sight.. The maps are fun the looting is fine but they need to tone the robots down a bit for solo players. Overall I'd give this game an 8.5/10...

Best Game in a Decade!!

Don't believe the very few negative reviews, they are shills for EA and others. This game has epic audio, immersive maps and highly addictive gameplay. Looting, PVE and PVP, progression, it has it all. The timer on maps is exhilarating, annoying and necessary. Lots of emotions going on in this game, just how a great game should be. Once again the dynamic weather on maps and audio is second to none. Very well done Embark, I'm a fan!!! Don't shoot!!!

ArcRaiders is simply amazing

After 2 years back in gaming, playing mostly single player games with some level or combat and shooting, I was wondering if I was actually any good at gaming/combat/maneuvering, since there is very little competitive element to single player games, and very little variability in difficulty as you are playing a pre-scripted storyline. ArcRaiders is my first online multiplayer, first of any game I’ve bought at launch at full price, and I feel like I already got my money’s worth. ArcRaiders is competitive, but it’s not about killing everything in sight, it’s more strategic. It’s been gratifying to feel my skill level being put to the test as I progress in the game. Each round is completely new and unexpected, even though I’ve been using the same map for dozens of rounds so far. There is no radar telling you what’s nearby, no unrealistic enemy alerts, the game really forces you to use your senses. headphones are essential, as the environmental sounds alert you to which direction, how near or far a threat or other player is, and which Arc is nearby based on the specific sounds you hear. It’s truly an immersive game. Proximity chat is also incentivized in solo play as you often need the help of others to survive an unexpected Arc attack, especially at an extraction point. As a casual gamer, it’s an easy game to dip in and dip out of, and all your gear is ready waiting for you when you dip back. I’m excited to see how the developers expand the game in the coming years.

Garbage

Wish I would have read the other negative reviews before downloading. They are right. Garbage. Waste of money.

Theres a Great Game hidden in here somewhere

Unfortunately, the PvP Tarkov Bros that don't care about game lore, setting or context and can grind for 20 hours a day to level up just to kill you and take the loot you scrounged while dodging the AI enemies (which can be OP especially in the beginning) and stealthily going from building to building for 20+ minutes, but are forced to choke point extraction points where the griefers and campers await you. Its not even a skill issue, there are people trying to actually play the game, and there are people who want to do nothing but take out other players. For the first few days, it was a GREAT game, people teaming up, working together to take out powerful enemies, reviving other players and playing in a team based atmosphere. That went out the window within a week and the game and community is now completely toxic. It's just another PVP, Kill on site shooter (among 1000 others) that is brutally titled against people that were looking for a "Fun" game. People calling this an "Accessible Extraction Shooter" and "Casual Friendly" probably think "casual means you only play 40 hours a week. LOL. If you want a sci-fi PVP game, here it is. If you were looking for a FUN game where you explore an amazing environment with excellent mechanics, tough AI enemies, amazing sound, character/equipment progression... well, that was cut out from the game when they added PvP halfway through the development. Uninstalled. Glad it was only $40

Only Extraction shooter ill play

I am not an extraction shooter type of person, but Arc Raiders just feels different. I dont feel like I cant compete with other players, and I dont feel forced to even interact with other players, but I do enjoy (especially solos) the players I've run into have all been just another person like me, just trying to complete their quests. I do wish duos was a separate match make than trios, but other than that, i am having an absolute blast

Other players ruin it

Tons of griefing and extract camping, it's just lame to play for 25 mins and get killed by an extract camper every single round. Don't waste your time.

SCAVENGE, SURVIVE, THRIVE

In ARC Raiders, gameplay flows between the surface ruled by lethal machines, and the vibrant underground society of Speranza. Craft, repair, and upgrade your gear in the safety of your own workshop, before venturing topside to scavenge the remnants of a devastated but beautiful world. Play solo or in parties up to three, navigating the constant threat of ARC's machines and the unpredictable choices of fellow survivors. In the end, only you decide what kind of Raider you are - and how far you’ll go to prevail.

EXPLORE AN IMMERSIVE WORLD

Explore four distinct maps at launch, with more to be revealed as the underground society evolves and expands its reach. Each destination carries the weight of a world twice-destroyed, and the scars of conflicts both old and new. Sift through the remnants for valuable loot, and piece together the past as it's slowly reclaimed by nature. Evolving map conditions ensure that no two runs are the same, with varying weather, enemies, and mechanics adding unpredictability and danger.

STAKE YOUR CLAIM

In a society built on boldness and bravado, it is up to you to stake your claim as a Raider. The loot you scavenge can be sold for coin or crafted into all-new gear, allowing you take on increasingly lethal dangers head-on. Through both victories and hardships, you'll gain valuable experience; unlocking varied skills that enable all-new ways of play. In addition, you'll complete quests for Traders with differing motives and agendas; uncovering both the friction and comradery of a community under constant threat of collapse.

BEWARE THE MACHINES

Lethal machines known as ARC rule the surface, ranging from unrelenting drone swarms to mechanical giants that obliterate everything in their path. Their origins remain a mystery, but their ever-present danger is felt with every step you take. Each machine comes with distinct strengths and tactics, forcing you to pinpoint their weak spots and constantly think on your feet. And remember: the noise of battle carries.

FORGE YOUR OWN PATH

Raiders survive by kitbashing scavenged materials; using long-lost tech and looted ARC parts to craft weapons, gadgets, and gear. Upgrade your workshop stations and learn blueprints to craft even more advanced items, or improvise quick fixes in the field to get yourself out of a bind. As you make a name for yourself, you'll be able to measure your skill against other Raiders by taking on Trials; rising through the leaderboards to earn valuable rewards.

QUESTS

In Speranza, everyone has an agenda, and the Traders are no different. They’ll send you topside on missions in exchange for rewards, slowly revealing more about who they are and what they want for Speranza’s future. Complete quests to earn gear, crafting materials, and XP to level up your Raider and unlock new skill points.

SKILL TREE

The ARC Raiders skill tree branches into three paths: Survival, Mobility, and Conditioning. Spend your points to shape your playstyle. Loot faster and move quieter with Survival skills. Outmaneuver your opponents and threats with Mobility. And enhance your Strength and Stamina with Conditioning. Choose how you grow and what your Raider brings to the battle.

BUILD YOUR ARSENAL

Whether you’re preparing to take down specific ARC enemies or fend off rival Raiders, there's a choice of weaponry for every fight. Cater to your style with a range of firearms including SMGs, rifles and shotguns, as well as more advanced options such as railguns and energy weapons. Grenades, traps, ziplines and deployables offer the tactical depth needed to outsmart your enemies, while augments allow you to tailor your loadout to your preferred playstyle; unlocking additional gameplay perks.
