  • The release window for Arc Raiders could not be worse. Right between Battlefield 6 and Tarkov 1.0. Also a few weeks ago Arena Breakout Infinite released, which is also a very competent extraction shooter, that I had lots of fun with before Bf6.

    This activity is a good sign for Arc Raiders, however it’s only a free playtest while the full release will cost 40€. How many of those players enjoying it now will actually cough up this much money for a game in a genre with many failed games before it? Dark and Darker was hugely popular during its last playtest and rapidly declined after the paid (Early Access) release.

    I hope that they’re successful with Arc Raiders. I think the extraction genre is super interesting and needs more healthy choices that are not Tarkov (which has so many problems of its own).




  • Binding of Isaac, Expedition 33, Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud, Abiotic Factor, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Celeste, Terraria, Peak, Art of Rally, Balatro, Outer Wilds, Satisfactory, The Talos Principle, Redout, Grim Dawn…

    These are just a few amazing games but such a list has little value in my opinion, which is why I didn’t name any in the first place. If you go into some more detail about what games you enjoy and why, people might give you more direct recommendations. Generally just start looking at more games on Steam and you’ll find something interesting.
