ARC Raiders

GAME STORY

In ARC Raiders, gameplay flows between the surface ruled by lethal machines, and the vibrant underground society of Speranza. Craft, repair, and upgrade your gear in the safety of your own workshop, before venturing topside to scavenge the remnants of a devastated but beautiful world. Play solo or in parties up to three, navigating the constant threat of ARC's machines and the unpredictable choices of fellow survivors. In the end, only you decide what kind of Raider you are - and how far you’ll go to prevail.

ARC Raiders Official Review Guide

A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.

ARC Raiders is at times punishing and unforgiving, but it's also the most accessible game yet in the extraction shooter genre. It's simultaneously one of the most technically impressive games of 2025 and one that genre veterans and newbies alike can find a ton of fun in. This game will likely be around for years to come.

Pros

• The most accessible extraction game yet
• A gorgeous variety of different maps, all expertly optimized
• Excels at being both friendly and accessible or sweaty and hardcore
• Core gameplay loop is quite addictive
• Endless potential for expansion via live service updates

Cons

• Quest and character progression can be a frustrating, slow grind
• ARC enemies sometimes feel slightly over-tuned and powerful
• Unforgiving and very challenging at times
• No support for duos yet, and PvE-exclusive modes would be appreciated
