The Verdict

Unless you have a high tolerance for frustration, a broken matchmaking system, rampant cheaters, and technical issues that would test a saint's patience, Rainbow Six Siege X is a hard sell at full price — even the reviewers who love it seem to be suffering. If you're dead-set on trying it, wait for a steep sale and go in with friends, because the addictive core gameplay is buried under so many layers of chaos that solo players may not survive long enough to find it.
