After years of development,Bungiehas finally revealedMarathonto the world.
As expected, it has been met with a decent amount of scepticism from across the gaming landscape.
So, there is a lot riding on Marathon.
When it comes to shooting things with cool guns in video games, few games feel better.
You arent a guardian, but a pre-established character that will presumably grow and evolve after the game launches.
Bungie has confirmed it wont be a $70 product but will instead be similar to something likeHelldivers 2.
Thats the benchmark it has to aim for.
Marathon has an uphill battle on its hands, but it can accomplish the same feat.
Marathon is not going to replicate that by chasing tired trends with naive hopes of success.
It needs to do its own thing, prove itself, and become something worth caring about.
Its a tough battle, but in learning from what came before, its more than possible.
