ARC Raiders blends careful pacing, immersive audio, and high-risk extraction gameplay into a consistently engaging multiplayer experience. The mix of hostile machines and unpredictable player encounters keeps every raid tense and fun, whether played solo or with a squad.
Arc Raiders isn’t just fun to play. It’s a straight-up shot of serotonin.
ARC Raiders might be a casual take on the extraction shooter genre, but it’s not a lesser experience because of it, quite the opposite. The defeats sting, but the pain of losing all your gear is softened by the approachable combat, player interaction, and the ARC enemies. And despite this approachability, the game has a gnarled edge. There’s texture to the world, a visceral tang and depth to the weaponry, and engrossing foundational systems that make the whole thing hurt so good. With ARC Raiders, Embark Studios has proved, once again, it knows how to deliver the goods.

Un gioco PvE trasformato in uno schifoso PvP. Gioco ripugnante rovinato da tutti quei players che puntano solo ad ucciderti. Gioco Pessimo! Se potessi mi farei rimborsare i soldi spesi

9 out of 10, would be higher if they added content quicker, there's some issues, but the gameplay loop is so good.

The game is very fun at first, but after playing for a while it becomes boring and monotonous.

Arc Raiders is the first extraction shooter that truly feels built for everyone. It blends tension, atmosphere, and unexpected humanity into a world that begs you to risk it all for one more haul. Arc Raiders captures the magic that made us fall in love with multiplayer in the first place. It’s polished, accessible, and impossible to put down. This is truly one of the year’s absolute best.

Great game, fun interactions with other players. And always the trust issue can you trust your fellow arc raiders or not. Love this game

I’ve only spent a few hours with ARC Raiders so far, so this is very much an early impression, but the game has already blown me away. The atmosphere is fantastic, mixing a grounded sci-fi setting with moments of real tension during exploration and combat. The encounters with the machines feel unpredictable and genuinely thrilling, especially when playing with other people. What impressed me the most is how natural the gameplay loop already feels: scavenging, surviving, and making it back alive creates constant tension. If the rest of the game maintains this level of intensity and polish, ARC Raiders could easily become one of the standout multiplayer experiences of the past year.

Embark took their time developing ARC Raiders, and the end result is spectacular. There are, indeed, some problems, but everything indicates that they will be resolved over time.

After The Finals, Embark Studios hits the mark again, releasing not only one of the best extraction shooters on the market, but also one of the most interesting games of the year. With robotic enemies as bad as ever, gorgeous maps, and a remarkably accessible loot system, ARC Raiders manages to be the first entry in the genre truly accessible to everyone, even running flawlessly on consoles. The only unknown remains post-launch support, but the roadmap published by the developers is promising, with an additional map already arriving in the next few days. In the meantime, see you above ground.

Arc Raiders successfully blends intense extraction shooter mechanics with a more accessible and colorful approach, delivering thrilling tension around extraction points while offering smooth shooting and RPG-like progression. Although some weapon balancing issues and long-term scalability concerns remain, the game shines with its audiovisual quality, satisfying gameplay, and strong potential for multiplayer fun.

ARC Raiders achieves what many developers have failed to do: creating a mainstream extraction shooter that does justice to the quality you expect from a Triple-A-Shooter.

Rich PvE combat and an unusually friendly community make Arc Raiders a more approachable extraction shooter than most, but Embark Studios' continued use of AI voice generation is a black mark against its reputation.

amazing experience. lots of tension every round. the fact that some are friendly and some are hostile adds a lot to the realism. the gunplay, strategy, world design - all are state of the art. when I go topside - I feel as a real raider! thank you embark for this piece of art.

A refreshing take on the genre with polished environments, but held back by balancing issues. The PvP meta is way too narrow right now, giving a huge advantage to anyone using the top-tier weapons. The progression reset is handled well, but the experience is slightly soured by bot spamming friend requests. Great potential, just needs some tuning.

Скучная и однообразная. Однозначно не стоит своих денег. Зря покупал. Графика ниже среднего.

They will not control or do anything about racist ( n word ) and homophobic players. I've reported the same guy many times with no action. CovidCannibal They sent me a warning message because i called a guy a coward. So, they don't care their servers ****, and you lose goop because of the glitch. Their response too bad. Their response to racist and homophobic people yelling in game is to ignore it and blame us for reporting. 2026 Do better racism is not cool and in no way should they enable it. We made them plenty of money at least they could care about us.

I played a lot and had a lot of fun. The main problem for me today is the imbalance in PVP, for two main reasons: 1 - Nothing negative happens to those who kill another player. Even considering the game's lore, this doesn't make sense. You are all from the same community, theoretically fighting for the same cause, so if your "brother in arms" kills you, something negative should happen to them. Three suggestions come to mind: the Tibia skull system, where the player who killed someone is marked, and can be attacked by other players without them suffering punishment. If you kill too many, this mark changes and you suffer a greater punishment. Or the Mu Online PVP system, where NPCs stop trading with you if you commit too many assassinations. The third measure would be to have a non-PVP server, but those who opted for this could not return to the normal server. 2 - The PVP rewards are not attractive enough. The game is moderately easy; you enter, search some containers, and leave. That should be enough for you to keep playing and make a profit. If you kill another player, the only thing you'll get is the same stuff they just picked up from those same lockers you could have been searching. These two points make the game extremely bad for those who aren't interested in PvP, precisely because they don't see anything good that can come from it. For now, for me, the game is unplayable because of this imbalance. For those who think it's fun to just enter and shoot others in the back, it might be still be a good experience, but again, even those guys aren't being rewarded; the only reward is ruining another player's run. Now the rest of the review: The game is quite punishing at the beginning. Without understanding the weapons and the behavior of the ARCs, you can die even to the most basic ones. But then it gets more enjoyable to play. As you understand what you have to do, the fun increases as you start to take more challenging ARCs
