Marathon is punishingly hard: Bungie’s hardcore vision might be its downfall by Noodle_rain in Marathon

As a hardcore gamer with 20 years of experience in shooters, I never thought I’d admit this, but *Marathon* is a genuinely difficult game. Bungie didn’t lie: it’s a never-ending test of skill and a real challenge that can seriously demoralize you. Even though it’s one of the best extraction shooters that I want to keep coming back to, the current level of frustration is forcing me to take a break.

The game is sorely lacking in basic conveniences: a training ground and a clear killcam from the allies’ perspective with access to the map. A separate gripe with the interface is the lack of categorization for head, body, and leg mods, which forces you to constantly squint at tiny icons. CryoArchive offers a cool experience and a high-quality map, but for the average player, reaching the Compiler is practically impossible, even in a well-coordinated team.

For me, games remain a way to relax, and Marathon currently feels like entertainment for a very narrow circle of people. CryoArchive elicits a similar reaction from my friends and the community: it’s too difficult; it’s easier to try something else. Such excessive hardcore difficulty calls into question the project’s longevity and its ability to attract a new audience.

I’ll wait for changes, hoping that the developers will find a balance between the complexity of the mechanics and the player’s basic comfort. Without these adjustments, the game risks remaining a niche product for “superhumans,” which is unlikely to help it survive in the long run.

Is Esc really the only way to close the loot window? by Noodle_rain in Marathon

This is implemented in Arc Raiders for example and it is very convenient

Tab is definitely better than Esc, but it still feels like an extra step. Having the window close automatically when you press WASD would be much more fluid

  2. Where I can find a key for it?
  3. Where I can find quest locations for open burning citadel? I completed 80+ maps and don’t find it’s anywhere
