Any Hunt: Showdown players will recognize this situation immediately. Looting two corpses before you've found the third guy? You're asking to lose a 1v3.

Pulled off a 1v3 in Marathon with a fun grapple maneuver (almost screwed it up by hitting my map key lol).
This is why Marathon benefits from a short time-to-kill. You want lopsided fights to be improbable, but very much possible.
I don't believe anyone is forced to wait that long (unless I'm missing something), and I doubt everyone will. I do believe it might take me that long anyway to really judge this thing.
There should not, I would argue. It's an online-only multiplayer game with a lot to chew on. If there were reviews today, even if they had played in some press-only server environment, I don't think they would be sufficient.
Obviously $40 games shouldn't get a parade for being slightly less greedy than they could be, but I'm surprised at how tucked away Marathon's paid stuff is. I didn't realize there was a store tab until someone posted about it.
as usual, we're in the same boat
I think Khiimori might finally be the horse girl game I can wholeheartedly get behind. Once it makes it out of early access, anyway.
When a commenter sums it up better than I could
this is literally covered in the article, fwiw
facts
Highguard was not a dead game, it's being murdered. Its only sin was not living up to expectations that only a dumb or spiritually bankrupt person would foist upon it. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ri...
lol yup, that's because they made a mode so complicated that it defied a single-sentence description. their best attempt was to call it a "raid shooter," words that mean nothing.
I'm as tired of the rigmarole as the next person, but Arc Raiders, Marvel Rivals, BF6 make it pretty clear folks aren't clocking out just because of skins and battle passes. Highguard was well made, but it also wasn't very good.

It's nice to gather feedback and all, but in this case, the folks saying "pee-ew" to Marathon's menus have bad taste. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ma...
Switch 2 impressions as someone who was waiting for a game (Pokopia) to force my hand:
-love the extra heft/big screen
-joycons are still unbelievably uncomfortable without a grip case
-dog ear controller has a strange slice cut out of it
-$90 for a real controller, lol
-system transfer was easy
hunt has been on my mind a lot playing it, yea. feels amazing + looks amazing.
We turned my column about roadmaps and live service fatigue into a little video essay. Enjoy! youtu.be/pABGVc_H_wE
Why does the Switch 2 dog ear controller have a big slice cut out of its grips? Did they only have butter knives at the factory?
Day 1: Marathon's ok
Day 2: Ok this is pretty deep and accessible, teamfights are fun
Day 3: I might love Marathon

The "CE" tactical magnum...mhm yes we see you Bungo
Gotta appreciate that Bungie refuses to stop making Halo guns
(imagine if a D&D dungeon master used disco elysium as a framework to run a memorable one-shot campaign)
I have a feeling Esoteric Ebb is going to be the first 2026 surprise that true ball-knowers won't be able to shut up about. The demo is big, and your save transfers to the full thing that's out in a week. store.steampowered.com/app/2057760/...
