As someone who doesn't particularly enjoy battle royale and extraction shooter games, Marathon just hits different. The gameplay, visuals, mechanics, and lore all come together to make something that is a lot of fun to play whether solo or with friends.
I write this review after putting a little over 1500 Hours into this game. This is a sick ass First-Person-Hero-Looter-Extraction-Shooter! Endless hours of fun & addictive gameplay. Solid game mechanics, really responsive, & rewarding gunplay, with a bit of unique hero abilities' element to mix up the engagements. Bungie Marathon Dev Team is constantly working on improving existing & adding new game modes to try and accommodate a variety of the gamer base. The graphical fidelity, environmental ambience, & lightning is top-notch. The current end game map, Cryo Archives, is a very punishing & engagingly good designed map. If you & your squad has what it takes to complete the in-game task to get to the final Vault, waiting at the end is a nice big Secret Boss & Loot Room for your team & you. Like all games, this game is not perfect and does have some annoyances and issues but I believe in time it can be fixed. Joy, Happiness, Pain, Suffering, Betrayal, Frustration, Triumph, and much much more, come and experience Marathon & become the Runner you are meant to be.
Love the adrenaline, die lots, but somehow its super fun!
This game is awesome. I was intrigued by the art style and look of Marathon since it came out. I never got it due to the divisive news i heard though, plus I never played any Halo/Bungie games or even extraction shooters. I dont even play online multiplayer games (aside from Elden Ring Nightreign) especially with PVP. I still remained interested tho and wanted to try it and im so glad i did, and furthermore that i stuck with it through the steep learning curve. Dont let the controversy and reputation of the game prevent you from trying it if you are interested.
10/10
You can shoot the bad guys.
Unironically kind of a banger game. The aesthetic is absolutely on point and the game itself just feels very solid to play.
