Great piece and fwiw I wholeheartedly agree on solo play. So many unmatched moments of tension.

Solid review. And as a player of the original games and a sucker for the lore back in the day, New Marathon is a worthy successor.

Apologies for being pedantic about a well-written and interesting piece (albeit one I'm radically philosophically opposed to), but Bungie made three Marathon games in the '90s, not two.
