About Classic Marathon 2

Fresh from your triumph on the colony ship Marathon, you are seized by the rogue AI Durandal to do his bidding in a distant part of the galaxy. Within the ruins of an ancient civilization, you must seek the remnants of a lost clan and uncover their long-buried secrets. Battle opponents ancient and terrible, with sophisticated weapons and devious strategies, all the while struggling to escape the alien nightmare…

This classic 1995 Bungie™ FPS is now maintained by the fan community. Experience authentic game play using the original data files, with optional widescreen HUD support, 3D filtering/perspective, positional audio, and 60+ fps interpolation, just in case the original is too authentic.

One of the very best campaigns in any 90s video game, despite some odd pacing and occasionally antagonistic/tedious design. Brilliantly mixes together action, storytelling, and a sense of adventure like few others. Replaying this has only improved my opinion of it.

What an absolute banger. Not only is it really interesting story and themeing wise, the gameplay holds up perfectly decades after its original release. Well worth a playthrough.

If you like the first game, you'll like the second. You are given very little direction(especially if you skip or speed read terminals), but that's part of what makes the game great. It can get annoying at times trying to figure out where to go and what to do, but that's nothing a good guide can't fix. *just like with the first game, this was given out for free, so I checked the box*

Confused as ♥♥♥♥ by the map layouts. Just how I like my Boomer Shooters.

A perfect blend of relentless difficulty, good writing and an excellent story for rabbithole divers

Best of the series. Price is way too low for this game.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
