An amazing game and anyone who says otherwise hasn't given it a chance. It definetly takes a couple hours to understand what's on the go but after it just clicks. The mechanics and gameplay are top knotch and you got to be smart about how you play. It's honestly one of the best games i've played in awhile and the way they have the game setup I feel like they'll be able to make content for it for a long time. Highly recommend!
把把前哨起装10分钟,进去刚落地被挂哥秒了,私募游戏
Uno de los shooters más únicos que nos dió la industria en mucho tiempo, una experiencia increíblemente inmersiva con un mundo muy rico y un estilo visual impactante.
Extraction shooters are not my usual game to play, but I tried Marathon after a sale on steam and it has hooked into me. Sometimes the outcome of a match can be gruelling, but not since a dark souls game have I had such euphoric highs when things go my way. I really would recommend this game. Each class I have played so far is fun, the gameplay is engrossing and the art style is a distinct take on cyberpunk.
Pretty gud
Marathon ist für mich ein schwieriges, aber auch sehr aufregendes Spiel. Ich habe wenige Shooter gespielt, aber Marathon holt mich ab. Der Artstyle ist eine Abwechslung, der 3D-Sound ist sehr wichtig (R.i:P. wenn du kein gutes Headset hast) und alle paar Runden bin ich von Adrenalin am Zittern. Ich bin nicht sehr erfahren in Shootern, aber das ist in Marathon nur halb so schlimm. Wichtiger als Aim ist hier oft eine Situation richtig einzuschätzen, die Karte zu verinnerlichen und den Überraschungseffekt zu nutzen. Neue Spieler haben es daher erst schwer. Mir hat es geholfen früher abzuhauen und weniger zu riskieren oder einfach nur ins Blaue die Karten zu erkunden ohne das eigene Überleben zu erwarten. Nach den ersten 8 Achievements hat man sicherlich die ersten beiden Karten im Wesentlichen verstanden.
Game is incredible, the only reason it has any poor reviews or media is because of Destiny 3 doomsayers and people that want to see Bungie fail. I was not hyped for the game to come out, but quickly became one of my favourite games of all time. Excellent gameplay and i think with their addition of experimental modes in the future, it could blow up and get more players. Give the game a try, it will do the talking.
Fun as hell and aesthetically pleasing. Any hate is entirely forced.
very good shooter
Awesome all around. One of my favorite visual styles I've seen in a game and the world building + lore really adds a level of immersion that makes the extraction shooter game loop even more addicting. The AI enemies feel really well designed and are genuinely fun and interesting threats - learning their tactics and gaining knowledge about the maps makes even a losing run feel worthwhile.
