2025 has been filled with great multiplayer video games, with giants like Battlefield 6 and indie hits like Peak, but — even among them — ARC Raiders stands out as the game to finally crack the 'extraction shooter' code.
In its post-apocalyptic future, an AI fleet of drones and robots has forced humanity underground, but the origins of the robotic invaders are unknown. We cower in bunkers, only emerging to skulk amongst the ruins and scavenge for supplies. Humanity is on the brink. Meanwhile, Earth's doing… fine? ARC's giant robots and laser weapons might seem out there, but this one of the most realistic sci-fi dystopias we've ever seen.
