How Marathon Relates to and Improves On the Original 1994 Game

As a long-time fan, I’m honestly blown away by what Bungie has done. It’s been so long since the original Marathon – nearly thirty years! – and games have changed so much. But somehow, they’ve managed to create a true sequel that feels connected to the trilogy we all loved. Considering Marathon was a pioneer in immersive storytelling, influencing games like Halo and Destiny, that’s incredible. But what really gets me is how relevant the themes from that first game still are today. The world Bungie created back in 1994 feels surprisingly timeless and urgent, even now.
