Marathon

honestly this game is getting worse and worse by the week, super glitchy, horrible moderation for their voice chat, cryo archive is literal dog water if you go with good loot good luck getting close to security 2 without having to go into control but if you go in with green shields you'll be almost security lvl 3 by the end of the second room/

This game has its pros, but Bungie can't fix two core problems: A. The game is dying B. Is an extraction shooter. This game had potential, but we got what happened when companies choose to follow trends.

This is going to sound like hyperbole, but Marathon has single-handedly made me pumped about gaming again. I used to be an avid gamer, but I've had a hard time getting into games as I've gotten older (even great ones) and I definitely thought I was done with PVP FPS at this point (too stressful, slower reaction time, etc.). Since my friend introduced me to this game, I've played at least a bit every day (love that you can just do a run or two in 30 minutes) and I find myself constantly looking forward to longer late-night and weekend sessions. The solo play is how I learned the mechanics and it's still a total blast! I can play a stealthy / rook run and look for loot if I don't feel like full-blown combat, or get super aggressive and take my chances against the other players. I've also convinced a few friends to buy it and we're having a ton of fun with the Duos and Trios modes as well. Of course there's a bit of a learning curve to this game, but if you've played other FPS in the past it's really not bad and the free kits are an awesome way to figure out the maps / mechanics with minimal risk. The world building, game design, and graphics are all top tier and I find myself actually reading all of the Codex entries (despite never really doing it in other games). It also has my favorite gunplay, probably ever. It's precise and complex, but with the right level of attachment / upgrade options to avoid excessive micromanagement. I wasn't sure about the different shell mechanics / abilities when I started playing because I'm usually into more realistic shooters, but damn they're awesome and I find myself bouncing between classes depending on what I'm trying to accomplish. There's a lot of bad press out there about Marathon and Bungie right now (feels like that's just the way to get views these days), but I would encourage you to ignore it and give this game a solid shot. Sure it can be stressful and I definitely don't successfully extract every time, but it's never felt overwhelming and that tension creates some of the coolest moments I can recall in a multiplayer game. It's already an all-time favorite for me and I hope this review helps others get into it!

Among the very best pvp shooters ever made, but not everyone will have the patience to excel at it. On the merits of the art and sound design alone, Marathon is easily worth the asking price, and I'd even say $40 is an absolute steal.

Не работает. Я кое как решил проблему с tapir, но это было только начало. Работал у меня только режим новичка, и при попытке играть в мультиплеер, у меня не находило игроков в команду, и в целом даже в соло игра не запускалась

PvE is the future of this game. I hope they realize this and season 3 implements PvE beyond the vault breaker experiment. Until then i cant recommend this sweatfest to anyone who values their time or money

Çok uzun zamandır extraction türü henüz bu kadar popüler değilken bile bu tarz oyunlara şans veren biri olarak söyleyeceğim: Bu oyuna gerçekten büyük haksızlık yapılıyor. Evet, oyunun eksikleri var. Evet, arkasındaki bütçeye kıyasla ilk çıktığı hali mükemmel değildi. Bungie de ne yapacağı pek belli olmayan bir şirket, buna da katılıyorum... Ancak yönetimin ve çalışanların değiştiğini düşünürsek, üstelik Sony de oyuna olan desteğini sürdüreceğini açıkça belirtmişken bu oyunun hâlâ çok ciddi bir şansı var. Zamanında Hunt: Showdown gibi yapımlar da tam olarak bu yollardan geçti ama oyunun şu an geldiği noktaya bakın. Tarkov deseniz yıllardır neredeyse doğru düzgün geliştirilmiyor bile... Bu türdeki tüm oyunları oynayan ve seven biri olarak söylüyorum; Marathon’un tasarımı ve dünyası inanılmaz ilgi çekici. Bilim kurgu temasının ve extraction türünün herkese göre olmadığının farkındayım ama bu oyun bu kadar gömülmeyi kesinlikle hak etmiyor. Umarım bu yükün altından kalkarlar ve oyunu yeniden canlandırırlar. Zaten oyun tamamen ölü de değil; Steam’de anlık 4k - 9k arası oyuncusu var. Diğer platformları da hesaba katarsak tahminen hâlâ 20k - 30k civarında oynanan bir yapım. Mükemmel bir sayı değil belki ama gerek Hunt gerekse türün atası sayılan Tarkov bile zaman zaman bu oyuncu sayılarını görüyor. Umarım geliştiriciler oyunu kaderine terk etmez; yeni haritalar, modlar, karakterler ve silahlar getirmeye devam ederler.
