March 2026
The worst part about this game is that its actually pretty fun. Bungie seems to be channeling more into providing something closer to Tarkov than Arc Raiders. Marathon makes a lot of choices that Arc Raiders deliberately did not make because they wanted a more casual audience, but this choice means that the game itself is only ever going to be a certain type of person. Was Arc Raiders too easy for you? Was Tarkov too hardcore? This is undeniably a much more midcore experience in terms of difficulty as the PvE is incredibly challenging and in your face, and the TTK is low when it comes to PvP. This is also evident with stuff like sponsored kits, which are typically free loadouts, ontop of the Rook (Scav from Tarkov) shell and being able to self revive with an item in both squads and solos. The progression so far seems really good, with you doing contracts/quests for different megacorps who also offer substantial upgrades you can purchase with ingame currency and sometimes items. They also offer pretty nice bartering systems for equipment that make it worth trying to keep an eye out for certain pieces of loot to trade in. Overall, I'd say the gameplay loop is a lot more thought out than I anticipated. The real problem with this game is that it REALLY isn't for everyone. Sony spent a lot of money on acquiring Bungie and it only seems the company has gotten into more trouble since then. Their flagship title (Destiny 2) is deader than ever and they've delayed the incoming expansion presumably to go all in on Marathon. But this game isn't going to pull Arc Raiders numbers anytime soon. The general lack of extraction shooters means this game has the opportunity to find an audience and cater to it, but would that be enough for Bungie and Sony? Does 3.6 billion get spent in acquiring a studio, dealing with controversy, delaying products, etc just to put out a game that had less numbers than the server slam on launch? The game is fun and the loop is plenty engaging but the expectations of both Bungie and Sony are ultimately going to determine the path this game takes in a big way. I will continue to play, but should you choose to play yourself, be aware of the possible risk that comes with live-service games these days. We are still hot off the heels of failures like Concord and now Highguard. No game is immune to this.

Good so far. Don't ♥♥♥♥ it up Bungie. And keep whoever handles seasonal content models for D2 as far from this game as possible.

If you like extraction shooters and want to shoot people in the face, it's pretty good. If you don't like extraction shooters or PvP, then it's probably not gonna be up your alley. It has the now classic Bungie gunplay, a striking art style, really good sound design, and it runs well (which is NOT the norm nowadays, sadly) Does it have a future? Who knows, hopefully yes, because it's fun to play.

As a long time Destiny player I lived through Bungies fall from grace. I lost all faith in Bungie, and initially I was completely unimpressed with what I saw from Marathon. I was ready to completely write it off, after all I have been playing Arc and loving it. But, I reluctantly gave the server slam a shot. What happened next may be one of the biggest 180s I have ever experienced in gaming. Day 1, I was left confused by the UI (which still needs work), was not the biggest fan of the art style, and was still a hard no for purchase. But, the crisp gunplay and few pvp engagements I had tickled my brain just enough to get me to come back for day 2... and then all weekend. I then began to watch some videos and read some articles and quickly realized the progression is there, the depth is there, the story and mystery are there, and the GAME IS THERE. Do not listen to the hate train, this game is good, and it is NOT Arc raiders. There is room for both of these games in your library and I urge you that if you are interested at all to give it a shot. I am having a very hard time putting it down.
