I still don’t understand the hate for this game, also when it’s clear it’s from people who have not played it. It’s fine if you don’t like that style of game, but it is excellent if you do. The hater narrative is so weird. It’s okay to not like something and move on, it’s weird to flaunt it around and dance when any semblance of failure arises.

I really like the art style, but thats the only thing I like about it. Genre is what I call “Scum Sponge.” I am thankful it exists because it means I get way less of the toxic players in the other genre games I play. I have tried playing multiple Extraction Shooters, and none of them were fun. I like Tactical Shooters, and even hard ones like Ready or Not, but Extraction Shooters are not fun. it’s clear it’s from people who have not played it. I played The Cycle Frontier (shut down lol), Dark & Darker, Tarkov, Lost Light, Hunt Showdown, Arc Raiders, and yes, even NeuMarathon. But I guess it’s clear I haven’t played it, right? I am a fan of Marathon. Real Marathon, not the current skinwalker. NeuMarathon and Marathon are very different games. I mean, I haven’t seen if they even added any of the series’ alien enemies yet. I didn’t see any Pfhor, not even S’pht Compilers except in one trailer one time. But nah, I’m just a hater. You right.

As a fan of the original Marathon I’m not mad, just disappointed. It’s like if Halo was redone as a survival/base builder.
