It's an absolute pleasure. I love this machine purely because it plays so well. I'm also happy to see that you came out to drop a comment. I truly appreciate it.
Rarely comment but just wanted to share appreciation that you play tested this on realistic hardware (4050) rather than the fully maxed stuff you no doubt have access to, to give normal people a sense of the performance.
Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out.
