Rainbow Six: Xenomorph was officially released on January 20, 2022, still run by Ubisoft Montreal Studio, and it no longer focuses on PVP like its predecessor, but instead switches to the PVE mode of a 3-player squad. The overall flow of the game is similar to the "Burst Mode" in Operation Chimera. Players will play as familiar cadres and partners to resist the invasion of parasites. Steel Egg I was also lucky enough to experience this game on the day of its release, now let's take a brief look at this new game!
Overall, Rainbow Six: Xenomorph is both a continuation of the previous game and an innovation as a new one.
The first is the continuation part, whether it is the scene or the game screen, the details are still rich, and the more dim scene will fill the oppressive atmosphere. Game characters and guns continue the operators and equipment in the previous game, while adding the unique scene interaction of Rainbow Six, such as climbing over the wall to make up the wall, yes, in the new work you can still destroy and repair the wall, and in the game you can feel that the system recommends you to output the wall, which is reflected in the fact that when the xeno is separated from your wall, you can see the outline of the xenomorph through the wall. The characters and guns are also similar to the previous game, and the equipment needs to be upgraded through monster fighting.
Looking at the innovative part, the biggest change is that the gameplay of the game has been completely different, at least for now, there is no PVP map, only PVE, that is to say, this is a cooperative game, facing computer AI. Secondly, for the way to complete the task, there are also special settlement methods, the general direction is through each scene, and the road to survival has the same safe house mechanism, the difference is that there are different main lines and branch lines in each scene, and it is not simply completed by reaching the safe house.
Then there is the combat part, the combat style of this game requires you to reduce the time and noise of the exchange of fire as much as possible, so that you can sneak in, if you are not quickly cleared after being found by the xenomorphs, it will attract more xenomorphs, plus a death punishment mechanism similar to the zombie kingdom, the damage suffered by the operators in the scene will be directly saved to the completion of the mission, and the heavy ones will directly make the operators who fall to the ground in the mission fall into a state called "MIA", that is, "missing in the mission", until they are rescued (or completely lost) by the player. This operator cannot be used again, so it is necessary to be more cautious in the game tactics and not to be brainless.
Finally, in the details of the scene, there is the presence of a fungal blanket in the game, the fungal blanket will reduce the walking speed of the operator, and the fungal blanket can also be destroyed, but the sound of the gun will attract xenomorphs, so this requires the player to decide whether to clean the bacterial blanket according to the specific situation. Also each scene also has a certain amount of supplies, and has a display outline, it is easy to find, but this game has a fake blood mechanism, which means that you can't expect a large blood bag to be replenished a second after you highlight the siege, which can only keep you from falling.
In general, the initial play experience of "Rainbow Six: Xenomorph" should still be very good, familiar operator equipment plus a new map gameplay, can make the old players of Rainbow Six perfectly started, call friends three people can also play very happy, but for now, the capacity of the map is not much, and even if there is a bonus task, it can not make up for the homogeneity of the general direction, fight monsters into the following figure, so for this new game, the first step of the sale is relatively good, how to retain players will have to see the follow-up update.
Finally, although the price of "Rainbow Six: Xenomorph" is 249 yuan, it also joins the XGP family at the same time, and the small partners who are interested in experiencing and XGP members can go directly to play it.
