Marathon free Beta gained over 140K CCU on Steam and quickly lowered to around 50K. The players are generally impressed with the polished shooting mechanics. So, a good game, right? Not quite!
The art direction is questionable and hard to use — the navigation patterns in the environment, the characters, etc. It's all over the place.
The overall gameplay loop is considered to be bland in contrast to the art direction.

And after 12+ hours I changed the review to be positive, so Steam removed all the likes. You can drop yours ❤️

A bit of context: it's a very odd beast but it don't deserve the hate. A lot of things are done wrong or better be excluded. It seemed that they missed the feedback loop from the outside.
But when you get into the flow, you're gone. Despite a very limited set of features so far, it isn't getting boring the way The Finals did to me.

Changed the review to be positive The performance is a mess (even on RTX 50), Maps are WAY TOO BIG and abstract Shooting suffers from performance, BUT: 1. The teamwork and synergy is great 2. Defending / attacking bases is awesome 3. Skills are memorable…

The demo of Marathon is failing to retain players. And it's a free run of a generally paid game. As of now, nothing indicates that sales will be good. People have tried it — PlayStation fans, Bungie fans, but they didn't get the point.
My bet: 5-10K online upon paid release. What do you think?

Off topic Saturday! Finally got back to active walking. Still far from my peak of 521 KM/month done back in 2024 but still good.
