Escape from Tarkov 😩

I really want to play that game, but the devs are working against me.

The whole genre is hilariously incompetent. It SHOULD be easy for somebody to come along, make an actually good extraction shooter, and cash out, but every time they do something dumb to screw it up.

Marauders was a blast for a short period of time before they made the mistake of listening to their community and made it Tarkov But Worse

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Hunt: Showdown?

The best extraction shooter out there.

It has zombies. It has wild west. It is balanced. It takes two shots to kill and two minutes to reload. Come to the Bayou!

While I agree that Hunt is a great game, I think it's a bit dishonest to compare it to Tarkov. I guess it's my own fault for saying "extraction shooter" since Hunt IS a Shooter where the goal is to Extract something, but the economic component is paper-thin, to the point that it barely matters.

A strength of Tarkov is the frequent wipes. This isn't me saying Hunt should do the same - it's a different game. Rather that I want a game with an emphasis on economic risk, like Tarkov, but made by a developer with the competence of Crytek.

I wasn't aware of what you are looking for specifically in a game.

I switched from Tarkov to Hunt a while ago and never looked back, so I like to recommend it to others.
