I played the Marathon Server Slam and it wasn't for me.

But I'd love a single player game in that universe. The Marathon lore, the tension of its world, the mystery behind some of the enemies, its brimming with potential.

Bro, you have no idea how true this statement is!!! Imo, Marathon's world and lore well surpasses even that of Halo, which itself has such a rich world and lore to dive into that there are literally novels that dive even deeper lol.

And I came to this conclusion just from playing the original trilogy. There aren't any novels, any voice acting, cinematics, etc. It was from putting everything together, from the game's atmosphere and terminals that were providing story beats, to where I was putting the pieces together and was blown away about how deep the story was really going. 

The potential this IP has is astronomical, and it is a damn shame we'll most likely never get it fully realized, but I do appreciate how they're still emphasizing story beats and the world's lore in this version of Marathon. I'm still planning on playing it even if it is only for a season here and there.
