Anyone who knows me, even on a cursory level, knows that I very much enjoy video games. They have been a part of my life since the Atari 2600.
Recently, Tom & I discovered Arc Raiders, an extraction shooter with PVE and PVP elements that keeps you guessing and, more importantly, is an exercise in discovery.
Unlike other games, the rules and the objectives aren't clearly defined. You feel like you're in a post-apocalyptic world of survival and discovery...and deception. Because your fellow raiders aren't always so altruistic topside.
