It keeps getting bigger and better.
ewansuttie25 September 2016
Rainbow six siege is a tactical and methodical first person shooter developed by Ubisoft. Currently 1.6 million people play this game everyday, and it's vastly growing.

As you first enter the game, you will feel the urge to rush into a heavily barricaded room and kill everyone to feel like a bad ass. Although this may sound fun, this is no call of duty. This game requires communication between teammates, searching for you enemy and having the will to be patient. You must be patient.

For anyone who has ever played overwatch, this game will feel slightly similar with it's 'operator' system. Meaning each playable character has their own unique ability, varying from toxic smoke grenades to a stim pistol that can revive your teammates.

You may play as an attacker or defender, on attack you must use your drones to locate either a hostage, a bomb or a bio-hazard container. Once the objective is located you must plan an attack to infiltrate the building and secure one of these three unique modes. On defense, well you guessed it, you have to defend. This means scouting the area on cameras, planting booby traps and reinforcing walls to stop the attackers from breaching in easily.

But siege provides something more than just shooting and searching. It creates a large intense atmosphere that no game I have played has ever managed to capture before. It uses gritty and realistic game play mechanics to really make the player feel as if they are breaching a building. Once you're dead, you're dead, you can't respawn until the nest round, this may be off putting to some, but this means more communicating and tactical teamwork.

I have had rainbow for a few months now, and haven't got bored once. This game is a definitely must buy and is totally different to anything I've played before. Pick this game up next time you have the chance, you won't regret it.

Ubisoft did a GOOD?!
Morejambo5419 February 2021
This is a great multiplayer game, I come back to it every couple of months for a couple of months because of how good it is. It's one of the most tactical games I've ever played which means you have to not be an absolute dough ball when playing the game, you have to strategies and work well with your team mates to win which can create feuds very quickly between players and makes the game extremely sweaty. The operators each having unique abilities also adds a lot to the game, you have to gain not be a complete dough ball and pick the right character for a given situation. Overall for a game that is constantly on deals to lower the price,mot is worth a cheeky purchase. One thing I will say and that I have noticed with some of my friends is that new players struggle a lot, it is a difficult game to start but if you keep playing it is satisfying and it can be enjoyed.

Great but coulda been perfect
mishmesh-3728111 June 2023
Back in the day this around I'd say season 1-12 this game was a 9.7/10 but with all the new updates and toxic community the game got worse and worse every season sadly. Though, this game is a great fps shooter, personally my favorite of all time, they have good dlcs, great characters which you can choose from like 60 of them maybe even more. Lastly, But after the seasons kept going the gameplay went down because the recent updates that jus aren't good and no where near as good as the first 4 seasons.

I think rainbow six siege should make a remastered version of the old rainbow six siege do y'all agree ?

Rainbow Six Siege is the greatest Home Alone simulator
twiton28 April 2016
After reaching level 99 in this game I can say it is the peak of Ubisoft Shooters. Fast paced, heart pounding and break-neck moments are what make up most of Six Siege. Mastering the operators, the maps and the mechanics are what make this a stand out game. It's almost a puzzle game, finding a hole in the defence with the right operator for the right situation. Each operator has their niche, be it Thermite at making an entrance or Montagne with his supporting capabilities. They all have their place in a match and learning that is key. The thrill of mastering Pulse, stalking the hallways of the map using cover to hide and then, when they least expect it, flanking them with a semi-automatic shotgun is the highlight of my time with this game. This game has made me enjoy Ubisoft once again, which is quite an accomplishment considering the disappointment of Watch_Dogs.

How Games Should Make You Feel
ricochet93-369-3088026 December 2019
Edge of your seat tactical first person shooter done to perfection. The game time is perfect, the countdown usually ensuring a frantic ending.

There is a reason this game has 50 million registered users...because it works.

Best FPS if I do say so my self. Way to go Ubisoft
paydenmaddux31 October 2019
I love this game so much. The amount of tactics put into this game and all the other stuff like breaking walls, shooting through them. And how much your aim matters is just awesome. So many operators and surely more to come.

A great potential ruined by toxic community and bad PC gamepad controls
Puroo24 March 2021
After having played so many Call of Duty games, CS:GO and Team Fortress 2, this game feels like a step back, especially when you play it with a controller in which case the aiming is almost impossible. It feels like it has really clunky controls. The aiming is very hard with players like Clash and Montagne. We cannot pick up the weapons dropped by dead enemies (this made sense in Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch since they are class-based characters but there's no reason here). There are a lot of smurf accounts that abuse us for not playing on their level (even though we are in the Newcomers level), and there is no way to report such players.

In terms of visual appeal this game is great. There are also a large number of maps to choose from, which makes this game look like it had a lot more potential. There are also plenty of characters to choose from. Though it lacks a campaign mode, it makes up for it with Challenges (which are also very difficult for new players). So overall I'd say it's a gorgeous looking game ruined by its bad controls and community.

Was fun at the start but the novelty starts to wear thin.
Cinemaniac198411 December 2015
I liked the Rainbow Six novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed the original Rainbow Six games, particularly the very first game released in 1998 and on of my favourite games of all time Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield (2003). The best thing about it was the playability of the single player campaign, which Rainbow Six: Siege sorely lacks, instead has a huge emphasis on multiplayer following in the footsteps of such games as Call of Duty and Battlefield.

Although Rainbow Six: Siege is what you make of it, I find the game to be mostly repetitive and multiplayer missions is a different experience. If you fail the mission or don't perform up to standard you can expect a backlash from other players online. The game has its moments but it's hardly addictive gameplay.

As a Rainbow Six fan, it is such a shame considering I was eagerly looking forward to a new Rainbow Six game. If Rainbow Six sticks with what previously attracted many players to the game I would consider staying faithful to the series, but seeing as I feel that Rainbow Six: Siege felt like a average experience, I am not so sure.

Unless you enjoy strategic multiplayer games you may enjoy it, otherwise if you are a fan of shoot em up games you won't get much enjoyment out of it.

6/10.

Simple, but Great and Highly Re-Playable
tcm012514 May 2016
In just one sentence: Rainbow Six: Siege is a great shooter that is a lot of fun to play.

There isn't really much of a story. There are terrorists and different CTUs from around the world need to stop them. So, don't go in expecting a story. As there really isn't one.

The graphics for the game are quite good and passable for a late 2015 game. The weapons look sleek and well designed. The sounds they make are incredible.

The gameplay is where Siege shines. Simple, but intense, every moment mattering games that change every round. Each round, a group of attackers seek out the defenders and try to eliminate them. The defenders have time to prepare by setting up reinforced walls, dropping body armor for your teammates, and placing trip mines. Every second that goes by matters, and any second something can happen. Ranging from a drone entering a room to mark players, to a wall exploding, to a flash bang going off and blinding everyone, to a bullet coming through a window and killing your teammate. This is before getting into how important sound is. Listening to your surroundings can save your life and help you achieve victory.

If you are looking for a shooter that will keep you playing for weeks and even months, Rainbow Six: Siege is the game for you!

A bare bones SWAT with great mechanics
residentgrigo15 April 2016
I don't mind the exclusion of a campaign, even if these are what the series is known for, but it is still unfortunate due to the quality of the sole such co-op mission after the string of alibi tutorials. The sequel will certainly have one and this sub-series should be renamed to S.W.A.T. due to the similar nature of this game to that dead franchise. The multiplayer mode is pretty fascinating and the unique gameplay is rock solid but the lack of content and customization is noticeable. The game thus feels somewhat uncompleted for a full price game yet i will come back for the sequel and will stick around longer if it will feature more content. 7,5/10

Ending the journey that started with Velvet Shell
Heartburnt_Kid26 August 2021
When I first played Siege, I admired the Ubisoft's take on modern tactical combat, which was like the SWAT games, it was also one of the best perks of Siege. Unfortunately, as the game progresses, two major problems have been already slowly growing. Community and money.

When Ubisoft went to the sci-fi world and added futuristic gadgets and powers for the operators, it was a matter of time when the game would lose its perk of great realistic tactical combat and turn into another new Black Ops game. With constant map changes and new flashy skins, I couldn't recognize the Siege I was playing. You don't need to regularly release new maps and ops, just work on the ops you already have and optimize the gameplay towards balance. Releasing new stuff won't fix the problems.

Community has gotten bigger and surely it brought new ways to make the game more unenjoyable. Cheaters are roaming through the servers without instant consequences, it takes days and months to finally ban them but that would be already too late for the damages they caused. Intentional teamkill is still not fixed properly and it's even worse when you meet a bad group of teammates.

A company hungry for money but not happiness of players. They would rather release new 50 sets of cosmetic items than fixing a single problem.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege - 8/10
andrewhumphreys99684 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The perfect blend of realism and fun comes in the form of this 5v5 online best-seller. Unlike most other warfare games based in reality, this game forces you to play tactically in order to win and you actually have to think about your next move. It features a host of operators to choose from and it's constantly adding more, up to 5 a year, which allows for a variety of playstyle choices. They all have interesting and unique backstories, customization options and loadouts, which means players must constantly adapt to new threats. Online play can be frustrating at first as the community is a fairly mixed bag, but once you get the hang of things you'll have pretty equal footing to most other players. It's been out for a while, so it may be a challenge at first if you are new, but once you start pulling in the kills and victories, you'll find out how satisfying a good match can be. Door-breaching, security-cam operation and barricading aren't very common in online shooters, but they help carve this game out from the rest by making each match a little different. Like a big game built solely around search-and-destroy from the CoD games.

Perfect long living game
Ashen6511 June 2021
Great job Ubisoft.

Easy Gameplay to get used to with perfect controls. The modes are few, but still, it is so amusing.

Diverse Operators. Not everyone has unique abilities, but they are still pretty well.

I didn't want the game to involve LGBT Operators it was really unnecessary.

One of the best games I've played in this generation of games. This game never gets old. 10/10 excellent.

Unlimited Potential, Limited Developers.
srkloppmann12 April 2024
Rainbow Six: Siege is a first person shooter unlike any other. With gunplay that is innovative, responsive, tactical, and most importantly, unique. Siege offers gameplay on quite literally every dimension, from the floorboards to the skylight on top of a bank. Everything in this game is able to be modified by the player. Cosmetics are slightly limited to a paywall, yet you can still customize each operator to your personal liking over time. Every attachment changes how each gun feels, and it almost never gets boring using the same gun. Speaking of never getting boring, each kill feels satisfying, as if you look the other player in the eye and assert that you are the better player on each kill. Nothing in Rainbow Six: Siege gets stale, and the 5 on 5 bomb defusing style has never been adapted better. Siege is a clear sign of innovation in a genre that had seemingly been ran dry.

Very addictive
thekingcobramma12 August 2021
I love this game, it's a fantastic online game with so many operators and weapons to choose from, it's definitely one of the best online tactical multiplayer games ever made. My only downfall to this game is the online servers, my connection is very good to play this game but it always disconnects me to play it and I have to keep restarting the game to get it connected. If the servers where a bit better I would have definitely have given this game a 10/10, but besides the server issue I still think it's an amazing game I would recommend people to try it out.

Really good multiplayer tactical shooter
pace-941271 October 2020
I've play this game since 2016 operation health and i enjoy this game so much. This is not a game that encourage you to run and gun like a superhero, this game encourage you to be tactical. Played with my friends thinking about a good strategy to defeat the opposing team, though laugh at time when doing something stupid. The monetization is okay for me because almost everything is unlock if you play the game and not forced to buy anything because all items is just outfits for your operator. But the game drawback for me is the connection to the server is quite bad, at times suddenly disconnect from match for no reason and the sound bug is annoying me. I recommend this game if you're like tactical shooters.

rat shooter
vovichino25 August 2021
Unfortunately the game will die, because the developers themselves do not play it, but only introduce lgbt lesbians and gay operatives without playing the game itself.

2 teams of solders battle in multiple game modes
jakobowen27 June 2017
I have been playing this game for about 2 years now. I really like this game because of the visual effects, gameplay, and the teamwork effects inside of the game. People who are on a team have to work together to win. This game also looks very nice. The graphics are amazing. The gameplay is also very satisfying. If you win the game or a round, you are very satisfied with the game. There is also a lot of customization in the game. There are hundreds of ways you can change the way your gun looks or you look. These things make Rainbow Six Siege an amazing game.

A great tactical shooter that will keep you coming back for more
keithhusain2 September 2018
The game launched in late 2015 and as of this review has now over 35 million players on PC,Xbox, and PlayStation. The game is different from your average FPS as there is no respawning per round and that there is no health regeneration, making you to be more careful as you play. The round rotate from the attacker side and defender side giving all players a chance opt play each side. Squads are made up of 5 players on each side. Communication with your team is important as teamwork is the key to win the game. Yes you will have trolls and cheaters on some matches. Friendly fire is on and the game will kick you for team killing. The game has 20 vanilla operations to choose from with an additional 24 operators for year 1,2,3 which are expensive in game currency. The base operators are cheap and easy to get but the years 1,2,3 ops are expensive and can take around 5-14 days depending on how long you play. Grinding is long and painful considering that many cosmetic are expensive. Also some cosmetic can only be bought by R6 credits (which can only be earned by paying real money) most people use R6 credits to buy ops and elite skins for characters. In the end Rainbow 6 Siege is a great game with more to come down the road and the community Is Alright with many fan arts, funny clips and some developers are listening to its fans to help fix and changing the game.
