Far Cry 4 vs Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 casts you into the role of Ajay Ghale, a person who travelled to the remote mountainous region of Kyrat to fulfill his mother's dying wish only to find himself trapped in a civil war between the rebels and the dictator that ruled the region with an iron fist, Pagan Min. Featuring the same epic open world and the freedom to literally do whatever you like, Far Cry 4 has a whole lot more deadly beings aside from humans with guns; the place is teeming with a wide variety of dangerous wildlife that will put your hunting skills to the test. The game also provides you with a whole new set of weapons and vehicles, including the ability to ride an elephant into battle. Far Cry 4 even has a co-op aspect where you can grab a friend to explore the beautiful region and kill Pagan's people along with you.However, the game only has an automatic save (and no checkpoint saves) that severely limits the supposedly sandbox aspect of the game and well, the game has unskippable cutscenes, which frankly can get rather annoying in your second playthrough. Despite its downsides though, Far Cry 4 feels a lot more realistic than most open world games mainly because of the abundant of wildlife that is supposed to be present in a remote region like Kyrat. If you've enjoyed most of the Far Cry games so far, you'll definitely love this one.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction has you face the deadliest threat Team Rainbow has to deal with: a mutating, alien parasite known as the Archeaens. You’ll drop into the dangerous containment zones and deal with the extraterrestrial threat with a team of three players. Missions range from gathering samples, intelligence and extracting data from computers. They all have one thing in common, though, which is engaging hordes of the infected, as well as the aliens themselves. In typical Rainbow Six fashion, you’ll battle aliens using a massive arsenal of weapons, equipment, and other gear.Players in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction will go on incursions in sub-areas of a massive map. They’ll have to deal with enemies and objectives that are procedurally generated, meaning no mission is similar. Moreover, the Archeaen aliens have different variants, each with abilities of their own; these range from spikers that can throw spikes and rooters that are more durable than their peers. Compared to its famous counterpart, Siege, Extraction is a slower-paced game where you’ll have to deal with enemies slowly and meticulously instead of explosive firefights.
Overall, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction is a vastly different Rainbow Six experience, but nevertheless, it deserves a good, long look. So yes, it’s best to start going on incursions and stop the alien threat from reaching its peak!
