Everything I've heard about marathon is that's it's becoming less and less like tarkov.
Maybe its changed up since I last read about it, but when I did it, iirc it was an extraction shooter, they brought a bunch of Tarkov guys out to try it, and asked them if they'd stream it if it was live, to which all of them gave a hard no. Maybe it hadn't been cooked enough yet so it didn't have a compelling vibe, or maybe Bungie decided to change shit up since then, couldn't say. I'm not a extraction shooter fan in any case so the whole thing has no appeal to me.
After that they changed creative director, and since then it's been becoming less extractiony and more hero shootery.
I don't have high hopes for any game that goes through such a drastic change late in development.
