very epic, not very big into extraction but once you get the gaemplay loop down its pretty nice.
One of the best games I have played in a long while I have been bouncing around different games and nothing has had me come back every time than marathon. It does have a big learning curve to get around but once you have stuck it out it's a great game and can't wait too see the future content and story they bring to the game. Bungie always have released great games. Would recommend and have recommended marathon to all my friends

I don’t enjoy this game, but I love Bungie for Destiny. I wish this game received more recognition, yet I can’t bring myself to like it. Please, we’re begging you. BRING DESTINY BACK!
Game good. Internet bad. No listen to hate. Try game. Game tough but tough make it good. Learn to fight. Rook strong together.
I've been a big fan of the classic Marathon games and their story, so making the follow-up game multiplayer-only is a bizarre choice. This game has its issues, but there is real potential. The visuals are fantastic, the gunplay and abilities are solid, the worldbuilding is great, and the sound design is top notch!. However, the way PvP has been handled is kind of a disaster. Season 2 began with a buff to Cradle progression only to be nerfed soon after, leaving a bunch of newer players behind. It also seems like this last update brought some performance/server lag issues. I can't hate on this game. I hope Bungie can pull this game back from the brink because this game shows promise and does not deserve the level of hate it's getting.
совершенно не ждал игру, но вот мои друзья жестко лакомятся на тягоче, каждый их онлайн в стиме сопровождается входом в марафом и решаюсь присоединиться. за 100+ часов прошел от "зачем я купил это" до "скорее бы выйти из этот работа и поиграть". в игре потрясающий дизайн, хорошая музыка(понимаю вкусовщина) кто то жалуется на малое количество карт, но как по мне их сейчас более чем достаточно + думаю нужен онлайн побольше либо тупо ротация карта, чтобы не оформить резидент слипер во время матчмейкинга. помимо онлайна оптимизация говна- это просто факт, но больше лично для меня нет минусов, а вот плюсы.. помимо визуала, раннеры все играбельны и интересны, главное, чтобы разрабы не пошли по стандартному пути (мы понерфили одно, чтобы вы играли с другим) лучше бафайте... и надеюсь бунго пойдут по пути нынешних респавнов и будут клепать раннеров "редко, но метко" то есть действительно предлагать новый и интересный опыт игра, а не то, что уже есть, но в иной обертке. геймплей просто пушка, петарда и наиграв 10к часов в Дестени 2 могу увереннос казать, что пинвил, крио архив и комплекс на болотах это микро доля того на что способна маленькая инди студия. уверен дальше будет только отвал жопы напоминающий мини версию рейдов из дестени, но приправленный пвп (мы ж все же экстракшн) и это збс. передаю привет все тем, кто ждет смерть игры. я с банжи знаком с весны 2015, первый год дустана был пососным, но потом ОУ МАЙ The Taken King просто изюм... затем случается дестени 2 и как обычно первый год, отток людей, делать нечего буквально, НО снова ультуют выдавая Forsaken - лучший аддон в серии(имо) Так что дальше больше. всем кто дропнул - возвращайтесь, всем кто думает дропнуть - передумайте, всем кто играет - встретимся на тягоче
Great Game.
It's good, especially if you have friends to join. Kind of like a party if you show up not knowing anyone. Could be good, could be bad. My first match was horrible solo, second solo match was great...because i ran into no real players, just the AI. Plays like Hunt: Showdown in that sense. Alone is terrifying, with friends it turns into a bit more of a deathmatch kind of deal. The AI is something to be afraid of, they will hunt you down and they hurt A LOT. Stay away if playing alone, use your knife to stay quiet even if you have to get up in their face. Shooting will attract players to you. There is a PVE mode very, very near (Monday as of writing on Saturday). This mode lasts 2 weeks, there's a 3 week gap and then Season 3 launches with a full blown PVE mode as i understand it. Sounds great to me, i don't play with friends or autofill lobbies - just solo. Game looks great, runs like a dream, audio is phenomenal, proper HDR support and configuration, pleasant keybinding, controls and responsiveness. Surprising amount of lore behind this one, if you aren't from the OG doom days you might have missed it - give the original Marathon series a google, it's from the 90's and features some pretty futuristic story including artificial intelligence growing sentient. Makes me excited to see what they do with the PvE stuff - could be REALLY cool.
This game is so beautiful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, super fun to play once you get over the fear of losing stuff every now and then. I love to play with my friends :D
