With spellbinding combat and high-concept maps, Marathon is far more than a cool aesthetic draped over the bones of an extraction shooter. Eurogamer's review.

This ruthless, deeply unapproachable extraction shooter is worth every ounce of hell it puts you through.

A confident reminder that nobody does an FPS like Bungie.

Bungie’s excellent audio design and gunplay, paired with increasingly complicated level design borrowing from over a decade of expertise designing Destiny raids coalesce into something special. Marathon is proof Bungie is still at the top of its game.

Marathon is an intense shooter with the bones of an RPG

Marathon doesn't have that instant fun factor and casual appeal that an extraction shooter like ARC Raiders does. And for a lot of people, that likely means it isn't the game for them. But Marathon is a game that gives more to you the more you give to it. With impeccable Bungie gunplay, a gorgeous world and artstyle, and a gameplay loop much denser than its competition, we think Marathon is something special. The more we play, the more we love it.

Bungie's slick extraction shooter is great at creating tense battles, incredible highs, and painful lows, with a future that's full of promise.
