Marathon

The game is underrated. It's good, really good. I guess for everyone who gives it a try

Sux

best game of 2026... but not enough players cuz of hate from big time streamers and destiny players... a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tragedy

This game goooood, stabbing people goooood

genuinely ♥♥♥ if u come in with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ free kits andd lowest inventories no shields

This game is a buggy trash fire. while the visuals and gameplay are decent, its overall performance is nothing short of embarrassing.

I wanted to like Marathon. Instead, it feels like the game is actively conducting an experiment to see how much emotional damage one person can take before uninstalling. Let's start with the free kits. Who looked at the starter loadout and said, "You know what new players need? Half-broken shields and depleted medkits." Why are the shields and medkits already depleted? Who's using my supplies before I spawn? Nothing says "welcome to Marathon" quite like spawning in with equipment that looks like someone else already lost with it. You survive one fight, use your already-half-empty healing supplies, and now you're roaming the map held together by hopes, dreams, and a single ibuprofen. Just give us normal healing supplies FFS. Then you hear footsteps. Fantastic. The PvP is fine. But why can't we have Duo lobbies? Hunt: Showdown did it, there's no excuse. yes, you can just queue for a random if you're only playing with 1 other buddy but half the time your random is sprinting straight at a full squad like he's the main character, immediately gets vaporized, and then I'm somehow expected to clutch a 2v3 that became a 2v17 because he alerted every NPC on the map.

In short: Great game and I cant wait to see what's next. Do not believe what's online this is a great game and for 40 bucks and getting free additional content in a world of AAA 80 to 100 dollar games. I think your money will be spent well. Look Season 1 was a lot a struggle for a guy who mostly plays alone. Season 2 has had its ups and downs but Solo was implemented and has been a blast especially Dire Marsh Night. I have not done the end game as I have been trying to learn it via videos but its not a solo game mode and makes sense. But mid season they are helping with that problem with end game having a PvE mode. I would say overtime things will get better, marathon is a blast and I think it will become a great game. But I want to enjoy this till the very end. Hopefully as long as Destiny 2. Hell I am looking at the statue bundle. Read the codex as a book, hear the audio logs and what the factions are saying, watch YT vids about the lore. Tau Ceti has layers of events you might be interested. What I am trying to say is this game rewards learning the map, hearing movement and noise and your aim. Also if you are a rook don't kill other rooks. Work together.

+ aesthetics + atmosphere + lore + maps + missions/contracts + factions/leveling + controller support + performance + inventory management + sponsored kits + still fun even though I’m a casual player and prefer playing solo + community (I get a kick out of Destiny players’ blind hate) - long-term support is uncertain - queue times are slow but acceptable - occasional high-ping matches - high CPU utilization in the menus… like, why?

I want to really really like it but between the subpar performance and the frighteningly low player count, it's just not somthing to get that excited about. Performance aside, I don't really know why the player count is so bad. Around 5,000 concurrent players as of writing this. Doubt Marathon will last a year...
