Automated excerpt
My early days with Marathon have reminded me of how I fell in love with Apex Legends. Marathon is an entirely different genre but its own hero classes, called "shells", elicit that same wonder. I know it's early days but these shells feel like they set Marathon apart from Arc Raiders and other extraction shooters: you get the underlying tension, joy and despair of the genre with a pungent hero shooter smeared on top. The Thief shell is perhaps the most brilliantly bizarre.
