Critic Reviews for Marathon
Despite the tumultuous landscape of live-service games around it, Marathon firmly carves its own place in the extraction shooter genre with an unmatched presentation and breakneck rhythm.
Marathon is a difficult game to recommend. It's undeniable that Bungie has done a great job with this title, but it's not an experience for everyone.

Your introduction to Marathon gives little indication of the punishing journey that lays ahead of you, venturing into hostile otherworldly environmen...
Marathon is an addictive extraction shooter featuring the same masterful gunplay that has made Bungie legendary, making it a must-play for fans of the genre and even those adverse to it.
Even within its own genre, Marathon is niche - bristling with outlandish color combinations and likely to reject those looking for something more relaxed. Stick with it, however, and the stellar gunplay, intriguing characters, fun mechanics, and tense scenarios will draw you in.
At the start of its journey, Marathon is a game whose bold artistic style sometimes overshadows its best features: excellent shooting and a satisfying progression model. It is an interesting alternative in the extraction shooter genre for well-coordinated teams of three who are not afraid of brutal combat and grind. Unfortunately, the flashy, confusing interface and lack of a useful introduction to the gameplay may be enough to put some players off.

The project clearly lacks content, and the entry threshold for solo players borders on absurdity. At the moment, it's a half-baked product that simply loses out to the rival ARC Raiders in a direct competition for our free time. The developers still have a long way to go, and they need to implement significant updates to transform this promising foundation into a fully-fledged, functioning hit
