Oni.
In my most unpopular opinion, the only good thing Bungie ever made. Way more satisfying than console-friendly auto-aim shooting aliens without gore.
Oni has some great sci-fi details, even when missing a deep overarching story. And breaking people’s necks with a cool 360 swing with proper sound effects of the neck bones being chipped is sooo satisfying. And that was an unfinished project by the way: you can notice there was no environment work done.

Oni was awesome but I will not take this Marathon slander sitting down!

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.
