The extraction shooter subgenre continues to grow, with new and exciting releases appearing on the scene every few months. Usually, these games only exist in pre-release trailers and hyperbolic blurb about their level of ballistics simulation, but most never see the light of day.
]]>After facing controversy over an incredibly pricey Escape from Tarkov gamemode, Battlestate Games has decided to release it for free after all - kind of.
]]>The Escape from Tarkov community hasn't received well the news of a brand-new most expensive edition replacing the old one and barring them from a previously promised DLC, among other things.

]]>Escape from Tarkov is an extraction shooter from Battlestate Games that has lived in early access for years, and at this rate, will probably stay there. That said, it’s a thrilling game, although I’m not sure the 4,000 players recently banned from the game will agree.
]]>There are so many sub-genres of shooter that the best FPS games you can play right now vary wildly based on your preferences. After all, there’s no concrete formula when it comes to developing a first-person shooter: there are multiplayer battle royales, action-adventure shoot ‘em ups, and innovative takes on the genre which blend unique mechanics into the mix.
]]>Escape from Tarkov is a multiplayer tactical shooter that will often have you on the edge of your seat. It’s realistic, intense, and good fun for the masochistic (and sadistic) gamers among us.

]]>The story of German developer Yager is not one you see repeated often in the games industry. Most people know this name from its 2012 seminal work: Spec Ops: The Line, a game with its own history of struggle to balance politics in its art with the demands of a publisher hoping for a piece of the Call of Duty pie.
]]>The Cycle: Frontier is the new game from Yager. Frontier is a spin-off of the studio's PvEvP game The Cycle, and it takes things into a very Escape from Tarkov-like direction. If that sounds intriguing, you'll have a chance to play it soon.
