Bungie ask Marathon critics to delay "full reviews" till the release of an endgame zone, and I am wistfully reminded of Vault of Glass
Bungie has requested that critics delay full reviews of its new game Marathon until a later endgame zone unlocks in March, a move the author likens to similar tactics used during the launch of Destiny. This request, while not a mandate, is seen as potentially influencing reviewers to soften their critiques, especially given that microtransaction details were also revealed late. The author expresses frustration with what they perceive as marketing manipulation, despite having enjoyed the parts of Marathon they have played.
