Good, this is nothing like Marathon. Marathon in name only. Its got a cool art style, but the genre of game is literally the worst toxic cesspool Bungie could possibly have picked. Even worse than whatever they did to Destiny 2. Theyre trying to trend chase a trend that never really existed in the first place.
EDIT: Reading the article, its actually somehow even worse. The former director of Valorant is now in charge, and theyre moving away from custom player characters to just a selectable cast of heroes.
Now its a Hero Extraction Shooter. Games even more dead than before.
Agreed.
I would be hyped to play a new version of actual Marathon, it’s a game that existed before my time and was only on Mac before they were cool so basically no one played it.
This is just a different skin on a genre that has no interest whatsoever to me.
