Marathon is the newest game from Bungie, the studio behind the legendary franchises Halo and Destiny. A follow-up to the mid-90s series of the same name, Marathon is an extraction shooter, in the same vein as Escape from Tarkov and ARC Raiders. Set on the planet Tau Ceti IV, "Runners" face off again each other in team of three, battling forces of the Unified Earth Space Council while scavenging for the best loot. Jack reviews Marathon for Mike, hoping the game has a long future ahead in an endless landscape of hit-or-miss multiplayer games.
