    Why is everyone doing extraction shooters now? Are they really that great? I only played escape of Tarkov for a bit but I couldn’t get into it.

      It’s the tail end of the latest hotness, the last one was battle royal, the one before was needlessly large, mostly dead and empty open worlds.

        Tbh, I feel that extraction shooters haven’t really gotten started yet. Tarkov popularized it but it’s too hardcore for most people. Hunt Showdown is more my speed but it’s still kinda niche. I haven’t seen a title really bring the concept to the masses. This might be that title.

      The stakes of extraction shooters are great. Makes playing/engagement way more tense. Similar to the level of games like pubg or whatever, but id say more so.

      Tarkov is hardcore as hell though. Takes it too far IMHO putting the right ammo in your gun is life or death. I look forward to someone finding the balance.
