Not being an Apple user, I can only talk having experienced it by proxy, but it seems to me that the game technically didn’t have at all the finesse that could be found in titles from the same years that pioneered FPS.
A lot of talk about the lore, but having tried more than once to stay awake through one of the many videos going through it, it seems the same boring space opera stuff seen in Halo.
I love the Graphic Realism style of the new one though, but as expected it’s just another bombing live service.
To me it was something about the setting, I was like 13 at the time and compared to Quake that was an excellent multiplayer game, the vibe and story really attracted me at the time.
The main difference to halo is that the master chief feels like an unstoppable war machine but marathon made me feel scared, running around in vents and panicking at the sight of a bug.

Ok but Marathon is earlier than Quake. One should compared it to Doom.
And compared to Doom, Marathon had more to offer from what I recall. Att least I remember it more fondly but I might mix it up with the sequels.
