While the co-op gameplay is certainly fun, critics were skeptical of Extraction's longevity given its price tag, poor balance, steep difficulty curve, and lack of endgame.

Critic Reviews for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction
Rainbow Six Extraction is a fun and unremarkable co-op shooter with some very good ooze.
Rainbow Six Extraction brings some great new ideas to the venerable first-person shooter as it morphs to a sci-fi co-op game, but it doesn't distinguish itself quite enough to stand out on its own merits.
Rainbow Six Extraction's tactical PvE is good, punchy fun with a squad, and has a couple of nice little twists - but that's about it.
An absorbing, tactical three-person co-op game that does well to expand the Rainbow Six gameplay into a more fantastical setting.
Rainbow Six Extraction is a neat standalone follow-up to Siege's Outbreak mode of 2018 – it has potential but is yet to fully realise it.
An approachable spin-off of a competitive multiplayer hit, this co-op shooter struggles to emerge from beneath its predecessor's shadow.
Though progression feels too closely tied to a mediocre challenge system, Rainbow Six Extraction offers fun incursions against a parasitic alien threat and rewards teamwork.
While it doesn’t execute fully with its foundation, it does take more risks than I expected, to the point where it’s going to be worth a look for some folks — but only just so.
