Marathon

Game is trash tbh. Wouldn't recommend buying it.

Gunplay is good, likely a very nice game for the extraction players who really enjoy PvP. I did feel let down by the PvE. For me it usually devolves into hiding behind cover and holding m1 till stuff dies, perhaps I simply haven't gotten far enough in to experience anything. The *main* UESC enemies don't feel very alive or involved and devolve into: guy, guy with shield, guy with bombs, invisible guy, guy with a billion hp as opposed to something unique. There are some more interesting enemies in the form of drones and exploding ticks but they are either infrequent or such pushovers they can be mostly ignored. The lack of variety in design is especially annoying considering the artistic direction would give them plenty of free reign for less conventional enemies. I was also disappointed that it's marketed as the ability extraction shooter but most abilities have a 80 second recharge time meaning you can only use them *once* per combat since time to kill is so low. I could maybe understand it from a balancing perspective against PvE but there are definetly better ways about it. The quests are also very frustrating since they aren't pinged on the map meaning you have to read the little tooltip description in the map to figure out where anything is. This is quite dangerous in game as you can be killed sometimes faster than it takes to close the map menu and having to figure stuff out manually seems like a waste of time. This also extends to abilities which look mostly identical (with the exception of some body mods) meaning you have to read a description to know if an item is good or not.
