And tarkov isn’t even on steam… yet?

‘One of the biggest’ You mean ‘one of the only’? Extraction shooters aren’t common that I’m aware of unless I’m out of the loop. The only big one before this I was aware of was Tarkov.

Isn’t Deep Rock Galactic an extraction shooter?

No, not at all. Extraction shooters require you to take in gear, which you can lose. Find loot or better gear and extract with it. If you die during the mission you lose pretty much everything, high stakes are required. DRG has no stakes, you just go and complete a mission for some progression.

It is a shooter where you extract, but it isn’t an extraction shooter. It’s the same genre as Left 4 Dead.

Someone said not Hunt. I disagree. I would say it is.
There is Zero Sievert, which is single player, Gray Zone Warfare, Arena Breakout Infinite (it’s an Asian game with Kernel level AC, so I can’t play it on Linux), Escape from Duckov recently, The Cycle (which I think is dead), and I’m certain I’m missing some.
It’s not a huge genre, but there’s still quite a few.

Escape from Duckov is arguable as it’s single player, as well. I’ll have to check out Zero Sievert.

I don’t think there’s anything about the genre that requires multiplayer. My favorite way to play Escape from Tarkov is the Single Player Tarkov mod, for example. It’s the same game, but without wipes or other players (I play it for no wipes).

Heck yes man SPT made me fall in love with that game again. Amazing work by their community.

Hunt Showdown, The Cycle
Bosht@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The Cycle yes, but an extraction shooter is defined as a game you loot items that you then extract with to use in future runs or sell. Hunt and Helldivers doesn’t have that mechanic at all.
Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
You can make the argument that Helldivers is more of a mission based shooter, and many people will agree with you.
Hunt is absolutely an extraction shooter. You take gear into a raid, fight other players, collect money and even their guns, fight a boss and collect the bounty when you extract.
Bosht@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yup I was thinking of another game, you’re absolutely correct.
