There's little in the way of randomization, and as long as you follow roughly the same path each time you tackle them – assuming that path is a good one – you'll largely have the same kind of experience in terms of where enemies are camped, and where there might be booby-traps and the like.

I did find Situations missions are mostly a game of trial and error. Things start out easy enough with a simple assassination exercise that takes place in a training facility, but quickly ramp up with a hostage rescue, and a scenario where you have to defuse a bomb. These missions are designed to ease you into Rainbow Six: Siege's gameplay by teaching you its combat basics. More on that later, but for now I'll get back to the review day and Situations. I can understand this sort of mechanic in a free-to-play game like World of Tanks – you can buy experience boosters in Wargaming's excellent tank battle game – but in a full-priced game it just seems out of place. I want to explore this further when I play the production copy of the game to see exactly what this is, but I did find it a little off-putting. There are different skins and weapon graphics that you can buy – as well as a renown booster that essentially increases the rate at which you earn that currency. Something I did notice when I was playing around with the game before we started is that microtransactions are present in Rainbow Six: Siege. Renown is game currency that's used to unlock operators, weapons skins and attachments, while xp unlocks ranked PvP mode (at level 25). Each Situation has one over-arching goal, and a couple of sub-objectives that are optional, but earn you extra xp and renown for completing them. This is essentially a series of training exercises – ten missions (plus one bonus mission) that take place on the game's eleven maps. There were ten of us at the review event, all playing a fully unlocked PC version of the game, and we dipped into all aspects of Rainbow Six: Siege during the day, starting with Situations, the single-player mode.

I'll then continue to build out this piece by adding further thoughts as I play through the PS4 production copy of the game that arrived today. This is a slightly odd review, because it's going to start with impressions based on eight hours spent with the game at a recent review event at Ubisoft's offices.
