Siege reboots the long-running Rainbow Six series as a five-on-five, attack-and-defend competitive shooter that’s as much about blowing holes in the world around you as in your opponents. My time with Siege so far leaves me feeling like this Rainbow Six revival is a skeleton with not a lot of meat on its bones. But, like other 2015 multiplayer-focused shooters such as Evolve and Star Wars Battlefront, there’s not a lot of there there. Every second of the short rounds matter, walls and floors won’t protect you, and sound tactics win matches.
On the one hand, the moment-to-moment gameplay experience is fantastic. Rainbow Six Siege pulls me in opposite directions at the same time.
