I reckon the aviation maxim "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing" applies well to extraction shooters

Funny that Perimeter is Marathon's "beginner" map, because Hauler has to be bloodiest battleground in the game so far. Cramped, dark, and stuffed with secret routes in and out.

In any other battle royale-sized game it'd be the standout location. What a place.

Grammarly is using our identities without permission Grammarly’s AI stole my boss’s identity.

I happened to be in downtown SF today, so I tried stopping by the Superhuman AI office to ask about the AI “editor” based on me. Unfortunately just got a very nice office manager who said no one was in.

Lots of games people in Grammarly’s pool too besides me…

yo jeff! i know you like to ride solo in marathon, but if you wanna try some group play this weekend hit me up 🤙

Oh uh... hi there

what's cool about webp is that no one likes it and no one has ever asked for it

I'm grapple hooked

Watch me ride this high into 6 six straight solo wipes

Any Hunt: Showdown players will recognize this situation immediately. Looting two corpses before you've found the third guy? You're asking to lose a 1v3.

Pulled off a 1v3 in Marathon with a fun grapple maneuver (almost screwed it up by hitting my map key lol).

This is why Marathon benefits from a short time-to-kill. You want lopsided fights to be improbable, but very much possible.

Marathon day one check-in: Thief impressions, broken Deluxe Edition bonuses, and so many Assassins Reporting in from Tau Ceti: Cosmetics missing. Players blasting. Backpack stuffed.

I don't believe anyone is forced to wait that long (unless I'm missing something), and I doubt everyone will. I do believe it might take me that long anyway to really judge this thing.

There should not, I would argue. It's an online-only multiplayer game with a lot to chew on. If there were reviews today, even if they had played in some press-only server environment, I don't think they would be sufficient.

Obviously $40 games shouldn't get a parade for being slightly less greedy than they could be, but I'm surprised at how tucked away Marathon's paid stuff is. I didn't realize there was a store tab until someone posted about it.

as usual, we're in the same boat

Finally someone has threaded the needle between survival game and horse girl sim The Legend of Khiimori is a surprisingly detailed horse courier sim that I'm actually loving more than just in solidarity with my horse girl gamer friends.

I think Khiimori might finally be the horse girl game I can wholeheartedly get behind. Once it makes it out of early access, anyway.

When a commenter sums it up better than I could

this is literally covered in the article, fwiw

RIP Highguard: In a better world, an FPS is allowed to be unpopular Highguard was not a dead game, it's being murdered.

Highguard was not a dead game, it's being murdered. Its only sin was not living up to expectations that only a dumb or spiritually bankrupt person would foist upon it. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ri...

lol yup, that's because they made a mode so complicated that it defied a single-sentence description. their best attempt was to call it a "raid shooter," words that mean nothing.

I'm as tired of the rigmarole as the next person, but Arc Raiders, Marvel Rivals, BF6 make it pretty clear folks aren't clocking out just because of skins and battle passes. Highguard was well made, but it also wasn't very good.

It's only March, but I'm calling it: Esoteric Ebb is 2026's best RPG and the first worthy successor to Disco Elysium It's more than D&D Disco Elysium, but it's also absolutely D&D Disco Elysium.

Marathon UI designer declares himself the 'fontslop merchant' and promises Bungie will never 'remove the SAUCE from the UI' Bungie is listening to your feedback, but Marathon's UI is weird on purpose.

It's nice to gather feedback and all, but in this case, the folks saying "pee-ew" to Marathon's menus have bad taste. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ma...
