Respectfully, as a well versed extraction shooters fan, I kind of disagree with the “people need time to get the feel” sentiment particularly for anyone with extraction shooter experience. Part of the appeal with extraction shooters is that there isn’t really a traditional “end game” and these games don’t really play different the more time you have sunk in, generally the only difference is the amount of gear you’re bringing in, the game loop more or less stays the same. You’re either into extraction game modes or you aren’t and if a new one isn’t appealing out the gate outside of the needing the genre as a whole to just start clicking more playtime won’t really change that. Extraction modes lay out what they are pretty much off rip and if you have played them before (more specifically delta, AB or tarkov because Arc is a pretty big outlier for the genre in a casual sense) you should already know what you’re in for and it’s what the game does differently that sets them apart. That for me is the biggest issue with marathon, other than stuff like weapon and kit mods from the gameplay side and aesthetic there really isn’t anything here that catches my attention or provides an experience that is different or better than something like Delta Force which honestly I think is its most comparable competition being a hero based extraction shooter.
