Marathon is in a sprint

Marathon is weird as hell - and I mean that in the best possible way. The latest game from Destiny studio Bungie mixes the slick gunplay the developer is known for with a dark, and frankly bizarre, sci-fi universe. It's part of the burgeoning "extraction shooter" subgenre, where teams of players are dropped into a hostile environment and tasked with getting the hell out. After just a few hours with the game, I'm eager to play more, both because the core action is so satisfying and to make sense of this mystifying universe.
