After thousands of hours in Destiny I had serious concerns about Bungie's Marathon reboot, but now I've played it my worry isn't whether or not it will be good

Here's the easy part: Marathon is an extraction shooter in which crews of three runners race against the clock, using 3D-printed cybernetic bodies to strip resources from a mysteriously abandoned colony on Tau Ceti IV. In your way stand teams of rival runners, robot forces left behind by the colony's owner, the Unified Earth Space Council (UESC), and even some local alien wildlife. Marathon is also Bungie's first non-Destiny release in 11 years, and as such is one of the most hotly-anticipated games of 2025.
