00:00I think this is the most surprising game of 2026.
00:03Marathon from Bungie, the people who made Halo and Destiny,
00:07was a game that a lot of people were expecting to fail.
00:09I've been able to check out Marathon for dozens of hours with some friends.
00:13And I gotta tell you guys, it's actually incredible.
00:15I think it's so much fun.
00:17It's an extraction shooter, so the gameplay revolves around going to a planet,
00:20doing some missions, looting.
00:22But if you die, you're going to lose everything that you had in your inventory.
00:26So whatever you brought with you and tried to loot to bring back,
00:28it's going to be permanently gone.
00:30You can play with up to two friends for a party of three.
00:32Sometimes there's duos.
00:33And what makes it interesting is that if you don't have friends to play with,
00:36you can matchmake and have, you know, people come in from around the world.
00:39Or you can play solo, which kind of makes the game feel way more like a horror game
00:43as you're trying to survive on this planet and not run into enemies.
00:46Speaking of enemies, you're playing against computers and real players at the same time.
00:50So the gameplay is very, very tense and on edge.
00:54You want to make sure that you're fully aware of your surroundings.
00:56The visuals are stunning.
00:57I really love the art style and I find that the entire vibe is handled so well.
01:02You really do feel like you're on a planet that is trying to kill you.
01:06Real person, real person on me, on me.
01:08It gives the game this tension that I don't really feel in games like Call of Duty or Battlefield.
01:13I think if you're looking to check out Marathon, you're going to have a really great time.
01:16If any of you have played Marathon, let me know in the comments
01:18because I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game.
