Is ARC Raiders worth it if you generally dislike third-person shooters? (feddit.org)

I don't know what it is exactly, but I hate modern over-the-shoulder third-person shooters. I was super hyped for Remnant 2 and tried it regardless of my dislike for the "genre". I bought it, played it 50 minutes and never thought about the game again.

Now I'm really hyped about ARC Raiders. It looks so good on stream. I'm a daily player of Embark's other game The Finals. But damn, do I not want to regret to buy this game.

How is the game for you? Did you dislike third-person shooters as well and were able to like ARC Raiders regardless?

If your dislike is purely about the perspective, Arc Raiders might not be for you, it's a very typical in terms of 3rd person. Although Arc Raiders' player camera isn't that close to the character model, so you still see a lot of the environment (which is key for this game).

Sometimes it might be for other reasons, that 3rd person perspective emphasises, for example, peeking corners while being hidden is often a pain point for some players, and it's also a thing in Arc Raiders. I'd argue its kind of mitigated because the maps are so big and detailed, you might not know where to peek or hide, until you're certain there's someone around.

Otherwise it's a fantastic game, you really feel the attention to details and quality of craft that Embark showed in The Finals so far!
