Game to Discuss?
Broforce! A tribute to 80s action movies, it's a cut above the average pixelslop, with a worryingly destructible world, and a giant cast of characters. The story, inasmuch as there is one, is a bog standard "america bad" parody. Even though you might be in a jungle, the enemies are still terrorists who hate our freedoms. Despite this, it's in no way "woke," the love for the source material is clear, and the terrorists make for uncomplicated bad guys who you have to kill, with no whinging about their humanity.

Played Marathon, currently halfway through Marathon 2.
Marathon does a bunch of weird shit. There's no jumping, but you can just run across small gaps, and you move in whatever direction you're currently facing while in the air so you can do this
You can grenade jump, and the game often requires you to do this for secrets and sometimes for necessary progression. This is really fricking awkward to do since you do it with a grenade launcher that detonates on impact but you can only aim down by about 45 degrees at most. It wasn't until I started playing 2 that I figured out how to do it properly: sprint diagonally then do a little twist to shoot behind yourself and redirect your momentum in midair. It also hurts yourself a shitload to do it, and I think the self-damage is determined by difficulty. A single grenade does over half your health on hard in M2. You can also rocket jump but you need a triple overshield in order to survive that.
The game fricking loves switches, and its unclear what most of them do. Some of them just operate the lights, sometimes they open doors in different parts of the level, some of them seem to do nothing at all. You can also operate switches by shooting them with the grenade launcher, but of course this is never told to you but is necessary to progress a few times. There is an infamous level "Colony ship for sale, cheap" which involves a puzzle where you have to raise 6 platforms to specific heights to use them as a set of stairs. Which is hard to do since you can only "climb" onto platforms that are a tiny bit higher than you. So they need to be arranged very specifically, which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that the switches are spread across 3 separate rooms that are literally spaced out across the entire map so depending on which platforms you frick up you may have to run back through the entire map. Oh and along the way there's a timed door that needs to be operated by shooting a switch with a grenade (this is literally the only door in the whole fricking game like this). My problem with the level wasn't actually getting the positioning of the platforms right, I managed to get it right the first time, my problem was figuring out how to set their height in the first place. They're controlled by switches which seem to just make the platforms go up and down. What I didn't realise was that if you hit the switch again while the platform is moving it stops in place. I think this is only used in one other place in the game and you don't even need to figure out how the switches work to progress in that case. So I spent probably 15-20 minutes just running back and forth through the level trying to figure out what to do and also trying to figure out how to access the room that contains a bunch of ammo and a rocket launcher and flamethrower (it is literally inaccessible and is there to troll you lmao frick you cute twink.)
The story is good, but it's told entirely through text terminals, some of which are pretty important but are hidden behind secrets, the most insane of which involves shooting a switch high up on a wall (while standing in lava) to raise a platform to access a room, then rocket jumping to reach a terminal which you have to activate while in midair.
Also there are several levels with friendly npcs but since the game is 99% narrow hallways they are constantly getting in your way and stopping you from moving to the point that I just started fricking killing them when they got in my way.
Do not play Marathon, just read the terminals online and watch mandalore's videos on it.
