Awesome game, though matchmaking can somtimes suck on solo queues
Amazin
Good pvp, good loot variety, and plenty of ways to get loot. It's very easy to come back from rock bottom with rook and the amount of free guns meds and equipment from factions. Overall pretty enjoyable with a unique aesthetic.
One of the best games i have played in a long time. Its too bad that there is so unneccesary hate. If this game came out 6 moinths earlier before ARC it would be the number 1 game of 2026
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!
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
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.
