Skill-up just posted his impressions after a dozen hours with Marathon, and it's eerie how much he basically just echoes my own thoughts, down to bringing up non-extraction shooters like Warzone and Apex as having sauce that Marathon just lacks.

tl;dr:

• Marathon is a competitive team shooter with an Extraction shooter skin, leading to 12 hours of ambivalence and a complete dearth of interesting ways to engage with the game between the rare firefights with other players.
  
• Lore is not a substitute for story
  
• Environments are completely bland and poorly designed once the bright colors don't grab your attention anymore.
