Arc Raiders the sci-fi extraction shooter has a knack for creating set pieces out of emergent moments. One of my favorite experiences in any open-world game is when something that must’ve been spontaneous still feels scripted: when emergent moments become setpieces by happy accident. Many of my favorite games have this quality, such as State of Decay, Sea of Thieves, and PUBG. In a recent four-hour session with Arc Raiders, I saw signs that it, too, has this elusive yet irresistible trait.
