Apr 22, 2026Deep within Marathon, there lies a shooter that’s simply fantastic—especially in its end-game maps and core weapon mechanics. For hardcore players who find ARC Raiders too easygoing and forgiving and are craving a bloodier experience, this could be a fantastic playground. However, when viewed as an extraction game that constantly demands you risk your efforts, the pieces don’t quite fall into place. It’s completely lacking the warmth and motivation that would draw in casual players or those looking to dip their toes into the genre. It’s a game where ideas with immense potential are crushed under mechanics that unnecessarily overwhelm the player.

Apr 17, 2026Oozing with style and buoyed by Bungie’s consistently slick gunplay, Marathon has already carved out a small fiefdom in the fickle world of extraction shooters. Unforgiving but rarely unfair, that risk/reward gameplay loop will prove endlessly enjoyable to some, though casual FPS fans who want to see guaranteed progression in exchange for the time they put in will find themselves well out of their comfort zone. Marathon’s staying power hinges entirely on post-launch support and the allure of new content. If the maze-like, puzzle-filled Cryo Archive is anything to go by, we could see Bungie rolling out a creative gauntlet of new gameplay experiences.

Apr 13, 2026Marathon finds itself in a difficult position. On one hand, it is a title unafraid to make you eat dirt and learn from your mistakes, all while delivering an experience with few apparent downsides—at least on paper—and featuring a presentation that stands out amidst the endless array of hyper-realistic offerings currently flooding the market. On the other hand, it is a tough sell to an audience whose sheer fatigue with "games as a service" keeps them at a safe distance from the blast zone.
