Great game bought it twice PC and PS5

Had to get the exclusive charms and also enjoy playing in my living room. I enjoy the atmosphere and they’re always listening to the community to balance the game. If someone not as intuitive as me can understand the game and its mechanics I’m sure anyone can. Don’t let this game fade away I enjoy it.

Excellent Game

10/10 would recommend for any fan of competitive shooters. I have over 100 hours in the first 6 weeks, I'm absolutely HOOKED! Every time I die is an opportunity to learn a lesson, its almost a mix of Dark Souls and Halo. Can't say enough good things about this game. See y'all on Tau Ceti ;)

Greater shooter in years, perhaps ever?!

I realize this is all subjective, but no game let alone a shooter has had me this hooked since halo 1&2. This game scratches that itch and then some.. I have never been more eager to “run it back one more time” only to find myself playing 10 more matches before I know it. You win some you lose some, it’s a punishing game but also so well balanced with how rewarding it is. If you’re on the fence like I was, just get it. Put some hours in, find the right shell or shells for you and understand the mechanics and you will be just as hooked as many of us are. 10/10 game in my book

Buy if you want to feel miserable.

Playing Marathon is like getting your lunch stolen form you and then being punched in the kidney every day at grade school. There is no sense of progression, you loose all your stuff each run, other players will always rail you. I put 15 hours on it and I am not having any fun. If they don't add a mode that's just PvE, the game is doomed. Also, the Deluxe upgrade is boogers, just get the standard if you are willing to give it a shot, but unless you are the most sweaty mean player, you ain't having fun. This is literally the first review I have written. I just hate this game.

I absolutely love Marathon - Everything about it!

I like the visuals, the music, the audio component, the lore, the intensity, the speed, the subtle humor, and the Drinkable Cheeseburger. The game is so fun!

The best FPS in years

I haven't been so addicted to an FPS since the original Destiny, or CoD MW.

Bungie at the top if it's game

Marathon has wormed its way into my brain like no other game in recent memory. Instead of laying in bed at night falling asleep to regrets I have had in my youth, I now fall asleep to the failed runs and PVP encounters in Marathon and what I could have done better. Yes, is it difficult. Yes, are the interfaces a little bit clonky and take a little but to get used to. But every time you exfil you feel like you earned it. The challenge is there, but so is the reward of knowing that getting better is up to you and what you're willing to learn from defeat. Death is the first step.

Fantastic!

Really great shooter, amazing depth, the classes are awesome. I know a lot of people complain about the UI, I have zero issues with it, easy to pick up after you play just like any other game.

Bad first impression, good gameplay

Like many others I had a bad first impression of this game and really disliked it at first sight, thought it “borrows” too many features from previous extraction games which is true. I briefly played the free beta even and disliked it, however for some reason I wanted to try it again and bought it after release. After playing more there is an enjoyable game here that is different in its own ways, it has fun stealth gameplay that’s rewarding in its own and it feels more competitive than other recent games. I will say the paid cosmetics are a feature that should be removed as with every other game.

Infil into the dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti IV: A derelict colony rife with rival Runners, hostile UESC security forces, and hazardous environments. As you scavenge its zones for valuables with a crew or alone, tense moments of exploration break into fast-paced PvP combat where gunplay is responsive, time to kill is low, and preparation is rewarded.

Exfil to advance your seasonal power, earn cosmetics for your achievements, and assemble stronger builds with your stolen loot. Then put your gear back on the line to seek even greater fortunes in your next run.

A GRAVEYARD OF POSSIBILITIES
Trespass across deserted research facilities, rugged landscapes, and security outposts holding the remnants of a vanished expedition, yours to salvage. Tau Ceti threatens death at every turn with unique enemies, dynamic events, and environmental hazards. Each zone escalates in difficulty, preparing you for the UESC Marathon locked in the heavens.

POWERFUL. CONFIGURABLE. EXPENDABLE.
Six equippable Runner shells offer diverse playstyle foundations to build upon, like Destroyer, Recon, and Thief. Scavenge an arsenal of moddable weapons, body implants, and core system upgrades to craft countless builds. Strategize as a crew each run to form comps that maximize your combined strengths, shaping the way you approach fights and objectives.

ENEMIES EVERYWHERE
Face the unknown as a crew of two or three, or alone in solo lobbies. Or sneak into in-progress crew lobbies as Rook, a lone scavenger with no starting gear and nothing to lose. Forge uneasy alliances with rival Runners in prox chat to defeat mutual foes, but remember your new allies might revert to enemies just as quickly. Be merciless in combat: A lone survivor can reboot their crew, even from death.

Compete in Ranked mode to put your skills to the test and prove you’re a top Runner on Tau Ceti. 

INFLUENCE IS POWER
Liaise with six competing factions, each offering lucrative incentives to advance their foothold on Tau Ceti. Completing faction contracts grows your baseline power via season-long unlocks like Runner shell upgrades, stronger starting loadouts, expanded vault space, and specialized wares on offer for spare loot.

DEFRAGMENT THE TRUTH
No one knows what happened a century ago when the Marathon expedition went dark. As a trespasser into UESC territory, you are uniquely positioned to piece the story together. Unearth the skeletons of Tau Ceti’s past as you run deeper into the colony.

DEATH HANGS ABOVE
Bring your endgame builds to Cryo Archive, the first deck of the UESC Marathon. Solve raid-like security measures to unseal frozen vaults and pillage the artifacts within. Every cramped corridor forces you into conflict with fully-geared enemy crews racing for the same prize. Breach the seventh vault to challenge an entity even the UESC fears.
