As someone who appreciates the stupid aspects of Rainbow Six (such as two trips to Las Vegas), I enjoyed the opportunity to immerse myself in this strange new world without asking too many questions. It’s pure pulp, a mixture of body horror and steel tactics.

Those same heroes were placed to hold the line, and as a party of three, as a party of two, or on your own, you dig deep into the ferocious lower abdomen of this grotesque rebellion. Some were the size of skyscrapers, one pierced the Statue of Liberty, and they unleashed a band of zombied parasites called “archaea.” It was first introduced at the 2018 Outbreak Limited Time Event at Siege. There are some short cutscenes that float around the margins, and awkward codex flooded with flavor text that describes the obelisk of giant onyx protruding from the ground around the world. It doesn’t look like it is.Įxtraction makes a meek attempt to justify its science fiction. In extraction, Ubisoft successfully brings the series to the wildest frontier ever, but this high stakes co-operative creates thrills outside the gate, but with the same sustainability as a competitive cousin.

It’s a cosmic and apocalyptic boss battle, and it’s hard to imagine how much this series deviated from the once dogmatic fidelity to the gritty navy seal realism. An armored multi-layer health bar appears at the top of the screen, dumping ammo clips into a scaly shell one after another and exhausting it. In one of Rainbow Six Extraction’s regular missions, Special Ops veterans are taken to a hellish parallel dimension to confront a malignant mutant replica of one of their fellow operators from the Rainbow Six Siege cast.
