A Solo Player's Review Of Marathon - Critics Got This WRONG

Описание: Marathon launched to a 72 on Metacritic. Critics called it rough, incomplete, underwhelming.
I've been playing solo — stealth-first, patient runs, my own way. I think the critics reviewed a completely different game to the one I've been playing.

Not a defence video. Real frustrations exist and I'll say them. But there's a version of this game the press never found — and that's what this is about.

Also this is hopefully — last doom and gloom Marathon video unless something truly major happens. We want to enjoy this game. Full stop.
