Marathon

冲着美术来的 击杀反馈很舒服 排队时间略久 最后 搞图形现实主义的偏锋美术搭配的玩法竟然是搜打撤 有点遗憾。

I LOVE KILLING BIOCYBERNETIC ORGANISMS

Amazing art style, music, gunplay, lore. Enough said. F the haters. The only critiques I could give are: 1) TTK seems to be quite low, which can ruin your game if you're solo. 2) There's an hourly rotation of maps which are locked out of solo play sometimes, which, again, kind of ruins the experience. With the Cryo Archive where you MUST have 3 players to even play, makes you come to the conclusion that this game was initially designed around 3-man squads, but, let's face it, at the current player count it's not the right move. We can take Vault Breakers as the most recent example - there are reviews from peoplle who literally bought this game just for Vault Breakers, which at the time of writing this is a temporary, experimental mode (God I hope they tweak it in the near future and make a banger out of this). There are people who never got to experience Cryo (like me) as they don't have any friends (skill issue, I know), and don't want to team up with random people with no mics. And then what do you know, people can't jump into the arguably best map in the game. And then "Wow, why is our player count going down?". I love Marathon, and want it to flourish, but Bungie has to rethink the direction they want to take Marathon.

gem. if only people judged the game by its actual quality instead of steam charts...

Bungie's gunplay and art direction remain unmatched. Marathon is the best feeling and looking extraction shooter on the market. The game oozes with style across its UI, shells, and weapons. Getting good gear feels incredibly rewarding, and the game isn't afraid to let you lose in it a moments notice. This season's Night Marsh map is particularly tense due to incredible lighting work. If you enjoy extraction shooters, you will enjoy Marathon.

visually, it looks like they took the vibrant color palate to match the 90's aesthetic. that's the only good thing i can say about it.

This game is genuinely unplayable without friends. It has some of the worst extraction mechanics of all time in terms of how it displays them relative to final if theres other extraction timers active. Do not recommend if youre a casual player or dont have friends to play with.
