Marathon’s new PvE experiment is Bungie’s most genius decision yet, so make it a full mode already

Players can now access the new content from Marathon's Season 2 update after initial server issues. The update features a nighttime Dire Marsh map, which has limited visibility and requires players to use torches and gadgets. The experimental Sponsored Survival mode is a key highlight, available from June 2 to June 9, allowing players to explore the map without immediate threats from other players, aside from UESC bots. Solo Rook players will gradually join the match, increasing competition for loot. Interactions with Rooks are infrequent, leading to mostly non-violent encounters. This mode aims to provide a PvE experience while maintaining PvP elements. A full PvE mode is anticipated to debut later in Season 2.

There’s a game coming out this year where you fight your Steam backlog, and it’s more dangerous the more you’ve spent

Many PC gamers struggle with a growing backlog of unplayed games due to the ease of accumulating titles from platforms like Steam and GOG. Some gamers feel pride in their backlog, while others feel guilt over neglected purchases. Games like Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive can be enticing at low prices, but busy schedules often prevent players from actually playing them. For example, after purchasing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous at full price, players may find themselves distracted by other games like Overwatch 2, leaving their intended gaming sessions unfulfilled. Game Quest: The Backlog Battler is available on Steam, highlighting the irony that players may buy it knowing it could also become part of their unplayed titles.
