There’s no clear “best execution” as each game has its flaws or quirks. I think Escape from Tarkov is currently still the overall best as it has more or less defined the genre, but it’s not without it’s obvious flaws.

The biggest obvious flaw that will kick in the nuts of new players is the wall of game knowledge they need just to survive a raid, and the game explains nothing. The first timer experience is one where you’re thrown into a map and told “at these points you can extract” and then you’re not told where you spawned nor where the extractions are. Good luck figuring out where to go. Oh and if you didn’t take the right healing items with you better enjoy limping around the map. There are a lot of other issues with game as well that I’m not going to get into because I could write a term paper on everything wrong with Tarkov.

As for the future. I have my hopes on Delta Force Hawk Ops. It’s currently in closed playtest so I can’t play it myself but from what I’ve seen on the web it seems to get the Tarkov formula and is making it more accessible to the casual player so my guess it that’s the one to keep an eye out.

There’s also Dark and Darker but I’m not into swords and sorcery so I can’t comment how good that game is.
