Marathon on PS5: A Dense Extraction Shooter That Rewards Mastery
Push Square’s in-progress Marathon review praises Bungie’s extraction shooter for its sharp gunplay, striking art direction, and deep RPG-like loot-and-build progression. While not instantly accessible and built around tense PvP/AI skirmishes and a grindy faction system, the game rewards exploration, teamwork, and careful loadout optimization, delivering a compelling if demanding PS5 shooter that grows with continued play. Performance is solid at 60fps on PS5, with the PS5 Pro variant using a rendering feature rather than boosting frames.
