00:00I am going to stop playing Marathon for one whole minute, just so I can tell you how truly
00:04exceptional it is.
00:06Essentially, it's an intense shooter with the bones of an RPG that thrives on PvP encounters
00:11and a well-realized setting.
00:13Yes, the fingerprints of Escape from Tarkov and Arc Raiders are unmistakable, risking
00:18gear against players and AI-controlled enemies in a timed raid hoping to extract with valuables,
00:24but Marathon's high-stakes matches are a fragment of a far greater whole.
00:28It's intertwined narrative and progression is whip-smart, leaving me as invested in
00:33its world as I am in its beautiful, beautiful loot.
00:36Still, don't expect to hold onto your gear for long.
00:39Marathon has four maps to raid, meaning players can collapse on each other with varying degrees
00:44of ruthlessness.
00:45Anything you take into a raid is lost permanently upon death, and there's a long line of potential
00:50killers to avoid.
00:51A huge highlight is Cryo Archive, a Destiny-style raid with added PvP combat that shows Marathon
00:58at its deadliest.
00:59So yeah, Marathon is my favourite multiplayer shooter in years.
01:02Question 2.
