非常诡异的风格,难以理解的游戏逻辑,极高的上手门槛,烂大街的搜打撤,然后还一脚把命运2踢死了,难绷啊(lll¬ω¬)
游戏机制一日不改一日不推荐
classic bungie gunplay in tandem with what i think is the most balanced take on the extraction shooter genre is what makes this game really stand out. even outside of gameplay, the art direction and story of this game is something that i've never seen before. it's hard to get off the ground, but once you cross that line and understand how outpost and cryo works, this game is incredible
Best FPS combat since Halo 3 and Halo Reach. Not in the sense that they are similar but just something unique and addicting
This is by no means a Destiny- or Halo-level game, and some of the edgy visuals are questionable. But for what it is—an extraction shooter—it’s a good game. The gunplay feels satisfying, and the environments, sense of danger, missions, and loot are all mechanically well made.
Very good extraction shooter. only problem queue time in EU nowadays sometimes can take few minutes compared to the instant queue of the past
Mid. Player interactions are short, sparse, and uninteresting. Kind of has the same problem OG Fortnite had where 90% of the time you're just looting and nothing's going on.
Bungie please dont ruin this game like d2. i love it. Its a great game. Has great gunplay. Good classes too. (Thief mains on top)
nah
Ho aspettato qualche mese per recensire marathon, per giocare qualcosa almeno della nuova stagione e per vedere che piega avessero preso con gli aggiornamenti ecc. Ebbene allo stato attuale sconsiglio assolutamente l' acquisto, non perchè non sia uno shooter solido con un map design bello o abbia difetti gravi, piuttosto perchè i numeri sono preoccupanti e non ho fiducia nel team che dovrebbe lavorare ad una decisa inversione di rotta. Manca talmente tanto il focus che letteralmente non ha contenuti per chi non abbia tempo di organizzarsi in team coordinati e concentrati e costanti e ben formati per giocare la parte medio-avanzata del gioco, cioè cyo e outpost, scordatevi di lanciare il gioco pad in mano farvi 2 orette di run in singolo o con random player, questa cosa non è chiaramente ed incredibilmente manco stata nella mente di coloro che hanno creato i contenuti ed è proprio questo che lo porterà a lungo andare al fallimento, infatti attualmente i player sono pochi tanto che il matchmaking per run in single è decisamente troppo lungo e la community troppo e piccola e pure tossica. Per questo sconsiglio di spenderci 40 euro a chiunque non piaccia la prospettiva di giocare coordinato e concentrato su discord con la prospettiva probabile di vedere poi la chiusura fra un anno. Dico questo perchè vedo che altri extraction di successo sono diversi: tarkov ci vogliono 300 ore per impararlo e devi essere costante, ma almeno ha il core gameplay nel giocare da soli, il team è una cosa in più ed ha una modalità pve che mi dicono funziona, in questo senso è più accessibile e poi ha una storia lunga di appassionati che ritornano rispetto a marathon che è nuovo. Arc raiders ha stravenduto con il suo gameplay smussato , incentivando la voice chat ed una sorta di collaborazione fra i player in tutti i modi, piallato la progressione ed il mercato interno, reso facoltativo il wipe, tutta una serie di facilitazioni per rendere il gioco meno "extraction" e più appetibile pure a chi non aveva tempo o voglia di giocare sempre e solo megaconcentrato su discord con altri 3 come invece costringe a fare marathon. Non so cosa sia passato per la testa a chi ha costruito il gioco in questo modo e questa cosa mi fa pensare che non sono proprio in grado di portare dentro una massa critica di player di cui ha per forza bisogno per stare un piedi i prossimi anni.
