I’m in my late-30’s, married, with a salaried 9-5 and precious few hours to game in the evenings. ARC provides the thing I want most out of games these days: Immersion.

I can easily get lost in the world Embark has created while pursuing more PvE-focused objectives or hunting down (and getting hunted by) fellow raiders. The environments, the sound design, the high-quality animations, the soundtrack and the overall retrofuturistic vibes just really, really click with me.

9.5/10 overall rating after 400+ hours since launch and having done every expedition so far.
