Like many others in the world, I’ve been a huge fan of Bungie since 2001, when Halo: Combat Evolved launched. Halo was, and still is in many ways, the definitive first-person shooter experience, and that is a hill I will die on. Fast-forward to 2026, and while I haven’t played Destiny 2 as much recently as I did for many years when it first launched, I have nonetheless logged thousands of hours in that game, with absolutely zero regrets. Needless to say, I’ve been intrigued by the Marathon reboot since it was first announced. However, now having spent some time playing it during the server slam, I’ve come to the conclusion that I might have enjoyed it, had it arrived before ARC Raiders.
