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.
