Marathon

The game was fantastic, and was Bungie’s ball to drop. The ball has been dropped. Maybe we will find it picked up again in December, but at this point we are hoping for a no man’s sky level of a comeback. Good luck to the devs and thanks for some great times

A great game that only appeal for player who have high tolerance for failure/who enjoy highly competitive PvP. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it to average/casual players who does not enjoy the loop of constant PvP fight non stop against more competent player as lot of the action can make noise which attract other players which might lost all your loot in the process, which makes your time invested in a raid feel frustrating. This does not played like an extraction shooter game shown by the marketing but feels more like small sized high stakes Battle Royale game with extra steps especially with the latter two maps that have better loot. Edit 15/09/2026: Looks like they making a big pivot to more PvE focused experience on December 2026 in an attempt to appeal for average gamer. Will revise the review once it come out and played it a bit to form my opinion whether its worth recommending afterward.
