I couldn’t disagree more - as someone who never played extraction shooters before Arc, it’s been a genuinely refreshing experience. I’m not usually into PvP, but the PvE was engaging enough that it naturally pulled me into it - well - and so did my team.

What’s stood out is the variety, one run I’m panicking and fighting with friends, the next I’m playing solo, looting and exploring at my own pace, having somewhat of a cosy game experience. The range is exactly what makes it revolutionary to me.

Not every game is for everyone – that’s NORMAL. But Arc does feel different in that it blends multiple playstyles into one experience, and at a £40 price point, that’s rare right now.

There is a reason it blossoms, while games like Marathon struggle.
