Sirsill Marathon Review
Mar 12, 2026
At this point i starting to force myself to play this game and i don't like this.
I don't understand why Bungie made Marathon.
They have Destiny, which was very groundbreaking and everyone tried to copy it at that time.
Now Bungie just made a shallow copy of Tarkov+Apex and brought zero new ideas.
Interesting setting and shooting is not enough. It would be better if this was single player or some sort of MMO. I even can agree on extraction if it was as original and interesting as Hunt Showdown, for example.
Pros:
- Fairly polished;
- Setting;
- Shooting;
- Intruiging Story;
- Some visual disign choices like factions;
- Music;
- Indoor graphics looks very good;
- Enemy robots are fairly fun to fight
Cons:
- It's a Tarkov clone, so gameplay loop absolutely awful;
- It's a Hero shooter, so no character creation and customisation, only cringe heroes with set skills and visuals;
- It's designed only for trios;
- Doesn't feels like sandbox;
- Maps are too small;
- Stealth gameplay is almost non existent;
- Random trios are horrible, because everyone have different quests;
- UI is horrible;
- Overall visual design is bad, it's like you playing Roblox;
- Outdoor graphics looks like x360 game, very ugly;
- 99% of enemies are robots;
- Wipes
The original vision of the game, being a persistent dynamic world, with no global map timer and custom player character sounded so much more interesting and original. It's actually what i expected from someone like Bungie.
