Ouch, that YouTuber just called marathon "a new universe" XD
But seriously, that video cemented my worst fears:
narrative will be written in the last 6 month of the game development???
the art style is fine, but it looks nothing like the original marathon to me. It reminds me more of the art style from NeoTokyo.
the gameplay is completely bog standard, nothing special about it
Who is the target audience for this game??
Marathon fans won't find any campaign here, while extraction shooter fans already have different games that deliver their fix, especially since this one seems to be full price.
And 4 years development for 3 maps and 4 characters hints at a lot of trial & error with emphasis on error.
