Marathon

Bungie's Next Live Service tries to take on the Extraction Shooter Genre

Review

So many colors. That was the first thought that I had when the game started, it was almost too much and definitely felt overstimulating at times.

What I Loved

  • Gunplay is perfect
  • No issues server wise
  • Art direction is beautiful and unique

What Could Be Better

  • Need’s an “X” factor
  • UI and Menu is confusing and overwhelming

Final Thoughts

Coming after Arc Raider’s success it’s hard to imagine Bungie’s Marathon will be able to find a foothold when it doesn’t offer anything specific to bring players over. Perhaps more time is needed for me to be sold but after about 3 hours I don’t see myself playing this long term.
