The extraction shooter discourse has been dominated in recent days by Marathon, Bungie's upcoming kick at the can, but there's another game in the mix with the potential to steal its thunder: Arc Raiders, which PC Gamer's Jake Tucker said in 2024 "could be the extraction shooter that finally brings the genre to the masses."Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, but we'll all move one step closer...

It’s not easy to be Henry, the protagonist of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I spent my first 15 hours or so getting my ass beat around every corner of Bohemia; I’d either perish to a pack of wolves, stumble upon a lone soldier, or fail to subtly steal a slurp of soup.

Sometimes that means indiscriminately mowing down whole swaths of enemies; other times it means upgrading and enhancing your abilities to inflict ever more spectacular feats of lethality. In either case, “progress” is only ever a work in progress. Practice makes...
