Bungie, Inc. revealed their newest game “Marathon,” a reboot of the developer’s first-person shooter from the 90s on Saturday, April 12, Bungie, the same company that developed the beloved franchises “Halo” and “Destiny,” plans for it to become more popular than “Escape From Tarkov,” the extraction shooter currently dominating the market. This science-fiction, hero-based extraction shooter game is set to release in September with distinct differences from the original.
Video game adaptations have become increasingly prominent over the last few years. From television to film, we have seen how some of the most iconic video games have been adapted in a new way for fans and critics alike. In the last few years, the “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie trilogy and the hilariously awful “Borderlands” film are just some of the adaptations brought to the silver screen. While 2023 gave us “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie, there was still one video game whose adaptation many were patiently waiting for since its release in 2011: “Minecraft.”
“The Bazaar” is, unfortunately, the first time I have ever wanted a refund for a video game. Announced in 2018, “The Bazaar” was marketed as a roguelike, card auto-battler game that would solve the staleness many players had found with “Hearthstone” and the impatience of waiting for “Slay the Spire 2.” As advertised, the game would feature a varied deck builder, with player versus enemy (PVE) and player versus player (PVP) combat sprinkled in between runs so there would never be a dull moment.
Around one year ago, the game “Sonic Frontiers” was released and was met with a mostly positive reaction. “Frontiers” has fun gameplay, an interesting, compelling story, and outstanding boss fights and music.
