However, Siege doesn’t do enough to unite players who understand the importance of communication or provide variation in rest of the package.
Progression system can be a slow, frustrating grind

Overall, the fun you have with Rainbow Six Siege will depend on how vested you get in the mainly multiplayer-only shooter. If you find a group to play with, you’ll have a lot of fun ahead.

Personally, I say give Siege a shot, if only to see how good you are at protecting and attacking a house.

Rainbow Six Siege is already fighting a difficult battle trying to enforce a more methodical vision of a competitive shooter. It's a minor miracle that Ubisoft Montreal has built such a solid foundation in that regard. But the bizarre progression hooks Siege borrows from free-to-play games, its dearth of content and its network problems make for an awful lot of frustration to overcome in search of those rare moments of unit cohesion.

Coordinating a strike as you blow through walls, swing through windows, and quickly blast away at enemies, it's hard to deny the striking, exciting feel of Rainbow Six: Siege . Its tactical nature, focus on strategy, asymmetrical presentation and...

The average Rainbow Six Siege multiplayer match contains a surprisingly small amount of shooting. Gunplay is, of course, still central to the Siege experience, but there's so much more to it. You'll spend just as much time strategizing with your...
But what a multiplayer mode it is. If you're able to pull together a squad of friends, and able to make the plans necessary to see this at its best, there's nothing quite like it. Measured, tactical and frequently surprising, Rainbow Six Siege is one of the best multiplayer experiences of the year - but it comes at a cost.
