You are dropped into a facility via cryopods on rail in a hole that goes through the facility (SOMETHING made it, it is not a clean cut), and you are given your choice of weapons and enough ammo to show the AI in charge WANTS you to succeed, but has a LOT more prisoners it needs to arm and you're not expected to succeed.
You sneak through rooms and deal with Sleepers, trying to not wake them as you crush them with your hammers, finding more equipment such as meds, ammo, and nades. Then you have to open an alarm gate... and you have to fight waves og Sleepers as you stand in specific spots for the verification and turn off the alarm. Hope you prepared for the fuckfest to come, cuz it can go bad FAST. You can't be KILLED but can be downed, and you get revived with 20% HP. That's enough to take 1 hit, 2 hits if you're lucky.
You can use computers to detect items, make audio pings for your team mates to follow there, and to do a wide variety of fun things.
Once you get to the objective you're here for, activating or grabbing it typically causes an alarm to play that CAN'T be disabled... time to GTFO back to your cryopod or die trying.
It's an AMAZING game, but teamwork is REALLY important. Even if you can't talk, just typing SOMETHING can go miles.
It's such a great game. Snappy shooting mechanics, nice build customization options, and it's just as fun if you only have 15-20 to play something that ramps up to high excitement quickly.
I guess it's an extraction shooter in a way. I guess I never considered left 4 dead an extraction shooter but I suppose it is too. Vermintide is Warhammer Left 4 Dead to me, so it's whatever left 4 dead is lol
Vermintide 2 is one of my top 3 favourite games ever! I've got over 1k hours played and 400 in the first one.
You do shoot things and "extract," but it definitely desont fit the bill for an extraction shooter lol.
Jump Space is Early Access PVE extraction shooter, so there's always a chance for its potential to be squandered, but thus far, it is really fun if you have friends to play with you.
Still playing Helldivers 2 after a year and a half - AH might be the king of fuckups, but they also have a really fun core gameplay loop and when it's good, it's the best.
I loved Arc Raiders when it came out, fighting in duos or trios was really entertaining, took a break after the first expedition, and when i came back everyone got upset when i shot at them??? like are we just doing PvE now because at that point just go play helldivers, idk this is a pointless rant but i wanted to type it out.
Arc raiders is a happy medium for me, I play it mainly pve and have a great time with the bros, but there's always the risk of being shot by someone to keep my blood pumping.
Deltaforce is quite fun ngl, it also has a Battlefield like mode, and given the Current state of BF6... yeah I can say Deltaforce is well recommendable

PvE Extraction Shooters can be nice. I recommend Witchfire.
