Marathon

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

Had a lot of fun with this on release but struggled to stick with it. If you like extraction games, you are going to like Marathon, and in that case I recommend the game. However, while the extraction aspects are appealing and the narrative elements are good, Marathon fails to keep me gripped by not catering well to the games I typically like to play - games I can play with my friends, without sweating my balls off that some stacked-up rando is trying to dome me from halfway across the map. Marathon is a far cry from what Bungie is known for, and I'd like to have seen more of that. More PvP aspects or game modes, a singleplayer or co-op campaign, and a stronger central narrative, would have done well to keep me engaged with Marathon far longer than I was. I would have liked to have seen more of a Halo approach to the game overall, instead of something firmly held back by its genre. Extraction is a genre I like to dip my toes into with friends while we do other things - in the same way that one might jump into Slayer in Halo every so often, taking a break from their Reach campaign run-through. I don't really want to play a game where the only thing I can do is repeat something I've done hundreds of times already, in the same environments, against people with more time on their hands to excel. It's not for me - but it's still a solid game, so it might be for you.

This game plays better than arc. The maps are just as cool as arc. The guns are more intuitive. The game looks so cool and it runs great. But this game definitely has its issues. The guns are a little generic and the pve enemies are kind of boring. They give you a good heart pounding thump when you fight them. I still would recommend this game. I think the aesthetic is cool and I want more people to play it.

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

Great game you'll never play

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.

play it after a years, maybe the servers will be better, ladders will work, i might be able to play in the region of my choice, wont grief my friends experience by disconnecting Pros - game feels great when that doesnt happen to me

SOOOOO CLOSE to being good, but unfortunately this is replacing a far better series with far more content no to mention theres 0 pve only options, again.. the one problem i have with literally every extraction shooter. they added something similar, but it wasnt guarenteed to only be pve, which is fine i guess, but now i dont see it again, unless im just blind or the menus arent being clear as always and it suffers from the same garbage that all the common shooters suffer from, where if you dont have perfect specs on your pc you just freeze the entire span of the fight and theres nothing you can do except go back to the menu. the worst part is this only ever happens to me when im facing enemy players, so if im dealing with pve stuff and my game suddenly freezes up, i know theres a player thats decided to ruin my run for no reason other than the one decent mat im carrying. if they just add a decent pve only mode ill be more into this, but it just feels like a waste of effort to even play rn, because every match goes the same. i do really well against the pve elements with minimal to mid level gear, get some loot, good stuff and meh stuff, and then watch one frozen frame for 10 seconds and come back to a player finishing me off after they apparently downed me. followed by them checking my loot for one second and running off with none of it because they already have everything. there is no reason whatsoever for this game to suffer from all the same issues as every other equivalent, its honestly insulting. oh, and this is another game that refuses to close, so i have to either pray that task manager can kill it, or i have to restart my pc

第二赛季的摇篮系统改的很好，前半个月用外围区域的赞助生存这种偏PVE的模式帮新玩家熟悉局内机制，之后转赞助沼泽让玩家在有一定游玩经验的基础上继续0成本熟悉PvP节奏，整体来说对新玩家的引导做的还不错。 赛季清档的机制一定程度上降低了新玩家入坑的难度，也让类似摇篮这种底层机制改建有了更灵活的运营基础，但是我认为作为一个搜打撤游戏这种机制也在一定程度上削弱了玩家囤积装备的成就感。而且目前游戏内容还是比较单薄，玩家玩游戏除了通行证和完成挑战之外没办法获得更多东西了，作为一个实际上只“获得”了体验的游戏来说，或许应该进一步弱化撤离之后的装备管理这部分的内容。 至于更进一步跑通这个玩法循环，或许棒鸡会从马上季中要发布的低温PVE金库破坏者模式里寻求灵感，看撤出物资转换为代币用来升级赞助包这样的玩法循环落地到底怎么样，会不会最后会变成一个玩家不需要囤积装备而是局外升级按赞助包，并按照装备等级进行PvP匹配？ 无论如何这都需要时间来证明，但留给棒鸡的时间很显然已经不多了

The lore, art style, and gameplay is all great. There's supposedly a problem with too great a divide between the sweats and the casuals, but it's mostly online.
