‘Marathon’ Has A High Barrier To Entry, But It’s Worth The Climb
Marathon (2026) has me locked in, sitting in my brain until my next run. The barrier to entry is high, but it’s rewarding, with each death being a lesson learned.
80%Bungie’s Safe Bet That Costs You Extra
Marathon is competently built around a genre it chose not to challenge. The maps are functional, the art direction is genuinely distinctive in ways the gameplay never quite matches, and the audio is doing heavy atmospheric lifting throughout. It is a game that will reward patient players who bond with its loop and forgive its rougher edges. But for anyone spending forty dollars and expecting that investment to translate into a full experience, Marathon’s storefront is waiting to tell you otherwise.
40%Marathon
An energetic and remarkably well made entry into the extraction shooter space, Marathon can be enormously harsh and unforgiving, but stay with it, and it can also be immensely rewarding.
