I think Art style is deciving some of you
I think the cleanness and, to me, pleasant look of the game is deciving some people. At first glance, you might think this is a standard hero shooter, maybe an Apex style fast-paced team shooter. It is not. Surprisingly, Marathon is as hard-core as it comes. With micromanaging 'heat' (stamina) built up or put yourself in a bad situation. Fast ttk that rivals Hunt showdown for how fast you'll get scalped will make you constantly think about what you did wrong and learn not to make that mistake again the hard way.
Marathon has really surprised me, a mainly hunt player, of how much I would unexpectedly love the server slam and find out how perfect this game is for me.
See you Runners out there tomorrow, and may you slaughter in the name of Arachne.
