TiKi ARC Raiders Review
Jan 29, 2026
End Game doesn't exist, the looting loop dries up. You realize the augments and weapons you've spent 100 hours looking for suck compared to free gear for rats camping exfil. Nobody plays end game content like the Matriarch because of toxic ratting i.e. killing folks attacking the Matriarch. So folks who never worked to get the gear to murder a giant robot murder YOU. Bonus? Epic weapons like the hull cracker don't hurt players so you're defenseless!
Updates for solos vs trios (The default most toxic game type so don't plan to play with friends) which made it clear Embark does NOT care about everyone who supported them when they announced a PVE game to the world.
The games narrative/story is shallow, AI voice actors, a menu to show you the colony, no real interaction.
Everyone shoots other "raiders" who live in the same colony as them. Apparently nobody ever dies from being shot and left for dead they somehow get scooped up and brought back to the colony... I in this colony wouldn't kill in a fire while they sleep the people who shot me and left me for dead? .... apparently not.
Want to camp the only exit and act friendly until you shoot players ..... 6 times until you find something fun someone else worked for? YOU CAN! There is no social impact, you will be able to jump in with teams trying to achieve missions and weekly trials and ruin it while yelling racist and homophobic slurs. Someone hunt you down after you said friendly and genuinely told them you had no loot? There are no factions to join and no bounties to fill for that person who ruined your fun.
It's COD, lots of racist white men in offensive black and asian character skins saying horrible things while lording over you that they started shooting before you knew there was a fight.
