As someone who hates extraction shooters, there's actually a very good reason I'm willing to give Marathon a shot
Briefly

The anticipation around Bungie's new game, Marathon, grows as recent gameplay footage showcases what fans hope will embody the studio's quality. Despite less-than-favorable experiences with extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov, there’s a renewed optimism rooted in Bungie's reputation for quality artistry and design. Many fans express skepticism, but the author feels that the unique appeal of Marathon may entice even those who have been critical of similar games in the past. Encouraged by the gameplay trailer, there's hope for a fresh experience that encapsulates what made Bungie beloved.
I should clarify straight away, I'm not referring to the magic that execs seem to believe their staff can use to put out a growing game while slashing budgets.
For some reason, Marathon has caught my interest. I have always admired the work Bungie has done from afar, though, and I think maybe it's some of that Bungie magic that could make all the difference.
