I love its big ideas; the Bonfire Ascetic system, say, or the obscure alternative steps you can sometimes take to make bosses easier. And more than anything I love the exquisitely forlorn mood of it all.

Marathon may have surpassed 1.2m sales worldwide according to analyst estimations. Of that number, the majority appear to be present on PC, rather than PlayStation.
