Honestly nothing makes me feel more disconnected with the general gaming populace than the sheer popularity of extraction shooters. Every single one of them looks and sounds unfun. Also they tend to look incredibly generic.
They are inherently a sweat fest by their very nature and they appeal to a crowd that enjoys high risk high reward gameplay. Theres nothing wrong with you for not being into it. Not everybody’s dream job is being a fireman and running into burning buildings before lunch either.
But it’s one of those niche genres that scratch an itch that more casual games don’t.

But they’re popular so what do I know.

I think this was is sufficiently different, if you like any kind of shooter I’d say give this one a shot.
Going on two decades now.
Me with Minecraft.
Me with MMOs.
Me with Dota/LoL and whatever this genre is called.
Me with DayZ/etc survival shooters.
Me with whatever chess auto battlere are.
Granted, games after the popularity winds down and they incorporate it into game genres I do like are neat. I freaking love V Rising.
