As I wrote in our King of Meat preview, I’ve long since fallen out of love with looting games. After thousands of hours rinsing RPG dungeons, I gaze upon even the shiniest and most temptingly crenelated of treasure chests with frigid contempt. But I’m not unenticed by the clanky and colourful, Deathloop meets The Division stylings of Arc Raiders, Embark and Nexon’s third-person extraction shooter, which is getting a three day open playtest this weekend.
It’s great to see the final open playtest for Arc Raiders being released! The focus on quests, progression, and crafting sounds intriguing. Even if looting games aren’t your thing anymore, it’s always exciting to witness new developments in gaming.
