    I really like the art style, but thats the only thing I like about it.

    Genre is what I call “Scum Sponge.” I am thankful it exists because it means I get way less of the toxic players in the other genre games I play. I have tried playing multiple Extraction Shooters, and none of them were fun. I like Tactical Shooters, and even hard ones like Ready or Not, but Extraction Shooters are not fun.

    it’s clear it’s from people who have not played it.

    I played The Cycle Frontier (shut down lol), Dark & Darker, Tarkov, Lost Light, Hunt Showdown, Arc Raiders, and yes, even NeuMarathon. But I guess it’s clear I haven’t played it, right?

    I am a fan of Marathon. Real Marathon, not the current skinwalker. NeuMarathon and Marathon are very different games. I mean, I haven’t seen if they even added any of the series’ alien enemies yet. I didn’t see any Pfhor, not even S’pht Compilers except in one trailer one time.

    But nah, I’m just a hater. You right.

      Okay I’m not sure how long you gave it, but it’s okay to not like something and also to not have to dunk on any semblance of a failure narrative.

      I personally don’t enjoy extraction shooters in general, Marathon bucks the trend however, it’s clean, tight, engaging and I want to jump in even if I have a tough run. As someone who disengages with most games of this type (roguelikes in general I don’t vibe with), new Marathon has something special. It’s Bungie at its classic best.

      The game does have a S’pht Compiler as a final boss in the final level, I’m not sure I’ll ever see it because it’s so difficult to achieve but that’s okay, I’ve enjoyed plenty of games that I won’t ever see the top tier content (WoW as a prime example).
