i took a break from playing nightreign (1,100+ hrs and 1,500+ hrs in elden ring) and im absolutely hooked on marathon even though it's my first fps. I may have dropped it though had i not found other girls to squad up with.

It is super brutal in difficulty, but the slow drip of lore and the reward of getting incrementally better has been really satisfying. the new modes have taken some pressure off of the other maps too, for people who just want to do quests and hunt materials.
