@Xenoimpulse the biggest problem is that extract games typically give you a great deal of freedom about how you want to play, you can be sneaky or you can contest high traffic areas or you can scavenge the outskirts. in marathon EVERYTHING is designed to force fights, you can't be quiet.
@Xenoimpulse The solo experience is also legitimately awful. The game is clearly designed for trios but has one of the worst ping systems I have ever used, making having a mic necessary to properly communicate.
@Xenoimpulse Speaking as someone who has 1000+ hours in tarkov and 600 in marathon right now. Marathon made a massive mistake in leaning into PvP too hard. It just makes the game cancerous to get through if you're not willing to be competitive.
