Review Marathon by Vandal
For Bungie's "gunplay" accompanied by very well-designed maps.
The game is full of personality in its art, music, and story.
Addictive like few others, once you have passed the first few hours...
... but this barrier will not appeal to the public looking for a more 'relaxed' experience.
An impractical interface that is difficult to get used to.
Although Bungie promises to smooth out rough edges in all areas, changes take time.

Superb aesthetic; visuals and audio are unlike anything else
Brutal combat against UESC and other players
Good map selection with rich design, and puzzles
Meaningful contracts offer powerful progress through faction upgrades
ROOK is an ingenious creation
WSTR Shotgun slaps, so do the other weapons
Winning feels good
Mantling is hit or miss
Reorganizing mods on weapons is finicky
Losing feels bad

Review Marathon by MeriStation
PvP is spectacular. The best player versus player shootouts in the genre.
Bungie's signature in game system and map design.
Crioarchivo, the Dust II of extraction shooter games.
Audiovisual expenditure.
The presence of Rook, who stirs up the games like a third threat.
The AI of the UESC forces in PvE lives up to the studio's work.
The interface is confusing. It takes a lot of effort on your part to understand the jargon it uses.
Some adjustments on concrete elements: more events, improvements on certain frameworks...

First-class shooting sensation
Great movement
Many stories and lore for the genre
Superb visual design
Good soundtrack and successful dubbing
Diverse and balanced courses
A lot of significant loot
Barely any tutorials for important functions
The menus are very confusing.
Not solo-friendly
Many aspects that belong to the genre are rather discouraging.

Review Marathon by GamingBolt
Incredible presentation, from the intros of faction reps to the atmosphere of each map
Best-in-class gunplay that packs a punch while feeling good
Heat management offers a unique twist on stamina and various QoL features make for smoother play
Intriguing narrative set-up and the UESC bots don't mess around
Bouncing back from failed runs feels seamless and easy
The UI is an absolute nightmare lacking even the most basic of features like comparing guns or distinguishing between similar items
Horrendous Rewards Pass, which includes the return of one-time-use shaders
Not a traditional narrative per say and as such, it could always fumble
Much more hardcore than your average extraction shooter experience, which won't be for everyone

Original and award-winning audiovisual style
Seven executives/characters extremely different from each other
Mysterious and captivating metanarrative.
Insufficient introduction, no tutorial or shooting range.
If you don't have a group, you only benefit halfway.
There are no particularly fun tools to use.

Review Marathon by Areajugones
The gunplay is wonderful. Each weapon and each movement are a pleasure.
The construction of his universe and his ambiguous narration.
The possibilities offered by the different classes and their combinations.
This requires so much effort that it becomes an obsession... for the better, I suppose.
Playing alone is possible, but it loses all its interest.
You need a lot of hours of commitment to start understanding it...
... and also to make the most of or benefit from content such as Cryoarchive.
We regret the absence of certain additional modalities.

Top-class art direction and visual polish
Dense sci-fi atmosphere and lived-in setting
Narratively, it's a captivating evolution of the original games' central ideas
Fun Shell classes which aren't overdesigned
Satisfying gunplay with a wide selection of weapons at launch
Generally tense but flexible runs thanks to the variety in contracts
Audio and voice acting are two steps ahead of the competition
The rare kind of modern triple-A game that doesn't soften its blows

Gunplay made by Bungie with surgical precision and ultra-addictive.
Rich lore and tense gameplay with seasonal replayability
Outstanding PS5 Pro performances
Immersive cyberpunk soundtrack
DualSense haptic feedback perfect for the genre
Satisfying endgame content
Sometimes unbalanced matchmaking in PvPvE
Steep learning curve for beginners
The "paid premium game" aspect in a genre dominated by F2P games could deter many people since the Concord crash.

Excellent world-building and texts written with great mastery.
One can play alone or with company, having fun in any case.
Artistically very inspired
The Marathon universe demands a real storyline.
The foundation is solid, but will it be supported in the future?

Rook is a genius shakeup to the extraction formula
Storytelling through emergent psychological despair
Cryo Archive is the greatest end-game activity in the genre
Masterpiece of art direction and sound design?

An enjoyable PvP
the arsenal and accessories are of a rare density in the genre
Its unique artistic direction
Deciphering the nature of what we pick up from the ground and understanding what it is used for is a puzzle.
A selection of cards that is far too meager at launch
A PvE that really lacks depth

Gorgeous artstyle
Intense shootouts
Various smart deviations from the classic extraction shooter formula
The tension is through the roof
Interesting lore
Awful onboarding and tutorials
A laundry list of baffling design choices, from the UI to the progression
Very limited depth and variety, for now
Half the game's mechanics barely even matter, in the grand scheme of things
No real story, and the interesting lore is presented solely in codexes and barely noticeable easter eggs
