    Can’t wait for the news about it inevitably dropping in players. Followed by news of permanent server shutdown within the next 2 years (I’m being extremely generous.)

      God forbid people enjoying their little coop adventures. I will never understand this community’s hate boner for everything online. Just stick to your single player stuff and be happy. Why dig trenches for something that doesn‘t affect you?

            Please note that the genre is PvEvP Extraction Looter Shooters. So some games, like Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers 2, are missing from the list because they do not fit that category.

            I have tried to play (ie, only played a few hours each, not like multiple days):

            • The Cycle Frontier
            • Escape from Tarkov
            • ARC Raiders (the closed beta in June 2023)
            • Dark and Darker
            • Delta Force Hazard Ops
            • Lost Light
            • Marauders
            • Hunt Showdown
            • Gray Zone Warfare
            • Incursion Red River

            Games that I tried that don’t exactly fit the genre but are close enough I feel like I should include them:

            • Steel Hunters (the closed playtest in March 2023)
            • Sea of Thieves
            • SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada
            • Dungeon Stalkers

            Its not that I haven’t given the genre an honest go.

            I hate that death means I lose not only the items I picked up, but also the items I brought into a match. The behaviour of players in this particular genre is almost always peak toxic. I am thankful that the genre exists, because it is a sponge taking some of the toxic people from other games. The people that derive fun and pleasure purely from ruining someone else’s game experience (like cheating, harassing, etc.) It is not a genre of game I enjoy, because some other players always ruin the fun.

            Some games had a PvE mode, which was fine but the loot was limited to be basically useless. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just have separated inventories, and perhaps allow transfers of items below a set gear level to keep the PvP economy balanced.
