Ratty 最近的评测

As a rat with rat bias for this rat game; I be bogglin' big time over this story rich hunk'a curdled gold

Played it because my ex Destiny friends said it's 'an extraction shooter that's actually good' (most of them don't normally enjoy extraction shooters like me)

Still feels **exactly** like that high/low punishing game genre where the gravity of loss is weighed by how much you gamble. Earnings you reap can be measured by what you put in your next match inventory, but the more you lose in the gamble the more it gives you that low feeling. This is definitely a skill issue as I don't claim to be good at win/loss extraction shooter games like this, but if you're especially looking for a game that's easy to learn but hard to master this isn't one of those unless you've played several games of it's genre prior. Marathon is definitely like a 'win yards or lose miles' game, and topping it off is every season you lose all of your meticulously accrued bank loot. Of course, my assumption for this decision is specifically to incentivize using what you earn instead of letting your anxiety of losing nice loot compel you to just hoard

I like old Bungie, that especially includes the story of classic marathon of which was virtually 1:1 adapted into Halo. The story and vibe of this Marathon is definitely a new kind of beautiful that I adore, but for me personally it feels bogged down by the mechanics that can make you regret logging on when you lose hard enough, which to me comes off as pretty toxic. My hot take is comparing this feeling similarly to that of the hyper competitive nature of battle royale's, or at worst the formulaic moba's. I can't say I enjoy the stochastic nature of 'will I lose everything and hate life if I play this game tonight or will it be a fun time and win big'. If anything, Marathon is another chisel swing in an attempt to further perfect the extraction shooter genre

YUHHHHHH

Take a game over 12 years old and increase the price of the infamous collection to artificially incentivize people to spend 5$ a month for ‘everything’ which is a lie, it’s missing content already.

It’s like they beat the skeleton of a dead horse and tried to sell the bonemeal for more than it’s worth - per month

It’s like 2025 is the year of FAFO, I wonder why 20$ indie games are suddenly looking so attractive? Almost like they don’t treat their players like they’re less than the dirt they try reselling to people. I think who ever is in charge of the decision to add a subscription plan to a game 4 years away from being able to legally drive should be forced to fork over 5$ a month if they don’t want the boogie man to come to their home while they’re asleep and cave in their soft spot with an aggressively rolled up sears catalogue with all the DLC’s for payday 2 circled in black sharpie. Either that or perhaps get fired, which ever comes first I welcome the first option as more realistic

AMD Radeon 6800 GPU / 32GB RAM / Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core processor, here

Without any frame generation I ran the game on 1080 at high with 60-70 fps consistently, and with frame generation on I was able to pull over 100 - 120 FPS on high so long as it was set to performance (quality was around 90, resolution was like 70)

I'd argue my setup is mid range with GPU and higher end with CPU / RAM, but the game runs much better than people were claiming previously, though I wish I could do 1440 at 120FPS+ on high - the game still looks fine on high/very high settings with frame generation on.

**also** I recommend people who have mid range PC's or lower add launch options under properties for this game:
-NoStartupMovies
r.volumetricfog 0
r.fog=0

Have fun!

I think this game is fair in single player, however in multiplayer...

I couldn't figure out how to play against bots and friends at the same time, I don't think it's an option to have both

Several of the maps are completely disorienting and have you drive off cliffs to reach X destination but don't guide you properly and have you lost in the open world portion of the maps

As far as I know you **cannot** select a particular map to play with a friend, you get a choice of 5 random maps that shuffle each time,

Loading into a match takes a while and it's because of the game itself - not because of what disk drives or SSD's are being used

It's unfortunate, my friend and I quite liked the first Unleashed but the second one feels like an overwhelmingly diluted quality of life and gameplay experience

EOMM makes this game unbearably miserable, especially in quickplay. I cannot recommend this game at its current state, being destined to lose several games in a row regardless of how casually or sweaty you play is not fun for anyone except for the people riding the EOMM winstreak high

Crashes on startup to this day, gave up on trying

I think for the price the game is worth it, though the gameplay still feels kinda cheesy. The Battlepass is inoffensive imo, about 10$ if you want the cosmetics in it but you're otherwise getting everything else for free and leveling it is easy.

The $ to in-game currency system is admittedly weird but not as predatory as other games, especially for a $15 game that's on sale. For a game that's currently 13.49 I think paying 10$ (800 beast coins) for a battlepass where you otherwise getting 90% of it for free is incredibly fair, you only miss out on purely cosmetics that do not change gameplay, plus upon finishing it you are refunded half the cost (400 beast coins)

Earning 'Valients' in't too bad, they usually cost about 1000 points and every game win or loss gives you 200 of said points while the games last about 10-15 minutes at best, and around 8 minutes usually.

Weapon play is classic COD based where you use them to level them up for new attachments, plus you get daily/weekly/newbie - missions that are as simple as 'play X games, do X damage, do X healing, and you'll get weapon level up vouchers that allow you to skip through levels pretty fest

TL;DR I would say overall I was skeptical of the mixed review but upon playing it I don't regret it and think it's perfectly fine but could use tweaks to improve the game. The micro-transactions aren't that bad, I say that as someone who usually loathes them, the game respects your time and found myself leveling quickly and already unlocked a valiant in just 30-40 minutes of playing the game casually. Just try it for yourself for your own review of the game and ignore the genuinely overblown reception

TL;DR: The game is fun if you've been craving more OMD but it definitely doesn't feel very polished. As a seemingly multiplayer focused OMD game it doesn't feel as expansive as say Unchained was at the time - but I believe the devs are working hard to respond to all the criticisms made so far and will only improve going forward.

Music is awesome, dare I say the best it's been and legitimately has never disappointed

Graphics look good and traps especially look stellar, they are the best looking and feeling than any other game released thus far

Gameplay loop is very fun and still feels solid and fluid

I wish optimization was better but I can't complain too much, I have an RX 6800 and it struggles to maintain 80fps on high at 1920 x 1080 settings when Ultra is the highest. I have a friend with an NVIDIA 3070ti and have had no complaints with performance

Map design looks nice but mechanically is challenging and absolutely daunting for solo playing or people getting into OMD for the first time and needs to be worked on

The difficulty option (a skull you interact with to ramp up by 1.0 - 2.0x difficiculty) has you continue 'gambling' forward each mission as it gets harder which I wouldn't mind if you had options to just play missions and select your own maps vanilla style, but right now AFAIK the only option is to select 1 of 3 maps of which each one will have a random debuff you'll have to deal with - going forward with each win

As the latest installment it is definitely underwhelming when compared to 3 or when Unchained was a thing on release, but as an orcs must die game to play in general I believe it's worth it for some more content but don't see new players enjoying it as their first exposure
