Marathon

I'd quite like Bungie to be able to make this game work but it's clear that something about it isn't really built for a wide audience, That weakness may well be the extraction shooter genre. I do love the art style, the storytelling, the design choices, but am much less fond of PVP and the way that feels. This is true for me and I have no desire to learn a PVP playstyle or to try and become a really hardcore PVP player. I got the game after a bunch of friends who I'd originally played Destiny with bought it and started playing it very heavily during season 1. Most of those players have quit now. I've enjoyed some of the PVE-style modes the devs have rapidly introduced into the game (Cryo Breaker / Experimental Queues etc) but overall I do worry this is a hasty way to introduce a new game mode after there was a lack of mass takeup for the PVP style. I can only imagine the pressure has ratcheted up considerably after Sony pulled the plug on Destiny 2. I hope the team are able to make a success of it, but I can't see myself playing the game with any regularity unless the game is able to double down on storytelling, interesting discovery, secrets, puzzles and challenges that aren't focused so much around killing other players or surviving other players. I do hope the team is able to make a success of it.
