Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter from Embark Studios so, a game where you deploy into a map full of other players and do as much shooting and looting as you can before making an escape. This is my first real go at the genre, and it's excellent. It has smooth, only occasionally cumbersome combat, sound design that scratches the brain just right and robotic enemies that genuinely terrify. And it satisfies my constant need to sift through my inventory and rifle through every drawer.

Launched October 30, Arc Raiders was met with explosively positive reviews, and it offered its top-notch extraction shooter antics for just $40. Only let down by its moronic use of AI voices (and dear God, I hope the vast profits Embark Studios has made from this game will see them get those re-recorded by human actors), it's otherwise a sublimely well-put-together game of first-person survival, PvP terror, and PvE excitement.
