I don't agree with the negative reviews. Check Steam and you will see glaringly few negative reviews. That's the biggest issue, on here you don't have to have played to review a game and say "iz trasssssssh." This game offers a lot of unique things. I was a big fan of Arc Raiders, decided to jump onto Marathon after server slam, and I found myself having that pvpe itch scratched so often. I genuinely enjoy the responsiveness. Some criticize the bright colors, but in all honesty? That's what I love. I know that the moment I don't see myself surrounded by bright colors, I am in the open and that means I'm in danger. The game takes some getting used to. There's a lot to learn, but as you play it, you will grasp a lot. You eventually wont need to read stuff you loot. Track what you need, grab it and get out. There's a LOT of quests to be found too that reward you with weapons, powerups, and items for future runs as well. As I level up and complete quests I find my deaths to be less of an issue. Most of my PvP encounters start with head on gunfights and seldom do I ever see people camping exfil sites which is awesome. Bungie countered the camping exfil problem by making them invisible until x amount of time has passed. Then when it's used, you find a new one. Solo play is very challenging, and the game warns you of this. As you get better weapons the AI becomes very easy to take on as one would expect. Guns rarity doesn't affect the overall damage it can do, instead it opts to increase other stats on it, so the playing field will never be tilted more one way vs the other. All in all I find this to be a very fun fast paced extraction shooter that has surprisingly scratched my itch for a TRUE PvPvE experience. I can't wait to see all the seasonal changes that occur at resets!

I played the first playtest a long time ago, and I really liked it because I felt the game had a lot of potential, and surely the best features were still to come. Upon release, I was heartbroken to see no real progress had been made. The amount of wasted potential in this game genuinely breaks my heart. I'm mostly going to focus on the negatives here, but honestly, it's not all bad. People who give this game a 1/10 are being hyperbolic. In that same vein, people who give the game a 10/10 are also being dishonest. The art and music direction are both pretty good. But without anything else, the game feels more like an elaborate visual arts project than a video game. On the surface there's a lot of glamor and sheen, but once you cut into it, it's hollow. The gameplay lacks immersion, depth, and originality. The movement is somehow both too fast and too slow. The user interface is lackluster and not very nice to look at. The first two maps (Perimeter and Dire Marsh) are poorly designed and boring. (Maybe better ones will come, but this is what the game released with.) There’s a general lack of content. Something as simple as adding a shooting range or neutral hub would go a long way. Every opportunity to introduce a unique or engaging mechanic was missed. Instead, the game sticks solely to safe, predictable formulas, all of which are done better by contemporaries. The game comes off as unsure of what it really wants to achieve and ultimately doesn't do anything well. I think a lot of the assets would be better served in a different game mode. TDM, Search and Destroy, battle royale, or horde modes would all have been better formats if Bungie knew they didn’t want to take any risks. Maybe more game modes will come later on, but it's unlikely given how immediately they would outshine the extraction mode. This game will hit the mark for some, but it's not there yet for me.

Melhor jogo de extração, no primeiro momento, Marathon pode parecer complexo, com muitas informações na tela, um inventário e uma interface não muito amigável. Mas depois de jogar algumas horas, fazer as missões das facções, experimentar a gunplay, e explorar Tau Ceti IV, você fica encantando com o jogo e com vontade de jogar cada vez mais. Parabéns BUNGIE.
