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.
Tarkov is a place where people discover they are actual masochists. The learning curve is near asymptotic, especially if you start mid or late in one of the economy “wipe” cycles. The cheater issues they have make it 10x worse than it should be though.
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.
