Rainbow Six Siege has always marched to the beat of its own breacher. You can see the influences, from the bomb-based intensity of Counter-Strike to the operator synergy of Overwatch and the environmental chaos of Battlefield, but by no means is Ubisoft's shooter a collage. It's a convergence that blends these ideas into something more focused, unpredictable, and personal. As the game's biggest update yet, Siege X puts its best foot forward to build on this unique identity, scratching a particular FPS itch that's still out of reach for its competitive peers.
