Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Rainbow Six Extraction brings back familiar operators from Siege but shifts the focus from competitive, player-versus-player action to tense, three-player co-op missions where strategy, teamwork, and adaptability are critical to survival.
Gameplay

I actually like R6 gameplay (used to play on console), so if you like R6's usual gunplay, you'll get a kick out of this.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I get to play some operators that I never really get to in R6, so that's a huge plus.
Difficulty

Four difficulty levels provide a reasonable progression from accessible missions to demanding operations where careless decisions can end an entire run.

Lots of accessibility options, graphics settings to fiddle around with and tweak to your needs, and customizable keys.
