The *Marathon *bounceback has begun. Bungie’s new game has been through quite the reputational rollercoaster already. An exciting debut, tempered with a lack of enthusiasm for its demanding and highly specific genre, extraction shooter. A decent press preview, followed by brutal feedback from its first public playtests, followed by a rethink and a delay. A general sense that Bungie had wandered too far into a hardcore space, and that Halo and Destiny fans might be too scared to follow.
