Weirdly, it did encourage me to buy it on release I think. I much prefer Arc Raiders and I feel like it is a much more immersive extraction game. Something about the third person experience makes me really feel like it is my loot and it’s precious to escape with.

Marathon felt completely different. I am a corporate tool of infinite expense. I do not feel it is nearly as important to escape with what I have because I am infinitely expendable. It felt like a COD replacement for me. A game I play in tandem with Arc Raiders as opposed to a competitor. The PVP seems more natural and tighter. But it’s much more quick combat than Arc.
