I'm also an almost daily The Finals player with my group for ~2 years!
I would say yes, it's great. I'm mixed about the third person still though. It feels great to play still, but it effects PvP in a way I don't care for. It's perfect for the PvE aspect, because ARC is actually dangerous, and our awareness playing a video game is a lot lower than in real life, so having third person to look out for ARC around corners is nice.
For PvP it adds an advantage for waiting. It also dramatically increases the advantage given by height. In The Finals, height is an advantage, but you can still potentially win a fight from below. In ARC Raiders, this really isn't the case. They can choose when and where to peek while still watching you and not exposed, and you have no idea where they are. It just promotes safe play, and I'd rather people have to take risks to get info on players.
Basically, the perspective is a mixed bag. It's much more PvE focused than other extraction games though, so that's more of a priority than only PvP, like others are. Anyway, it's really fun and enjoyable. A lot of skills carry over between the games too, despite how differently they play. You'll see a lot of equipment in ARC that's very similar to what's in The Finals, with a different coat of paint. I've put $0 into The Finals, so for me it was also a way to pay them back for not being greedy with MTX.
