Apotheosis is an absolute Masterclass in Marathon scenario creation. From the first step to the sprint at the finish line, my jaw was on the floor and eyebrows on the ceiling! The scenario is so well thought out, planned, and executed - not to mention stunningly beautiful (to the eye and ear) - that it took me right back to my initial run-throughs of Bungie's Trilogy. Palms sweating, gasping for air, praying for a nearby Save Terminal, or 1x powerup, all while masterfully being guided through the amazingly crafted levels. Zero fluff, every level a breathtaking Masterpiece, expertly rationed ammo and supplies, an engaging story, and enough baddies to wear your fingers to the bone. All of this, in a brand new environment filled with the most apropos textures and scenery objects. I cannot tell you how many times I just stopped and stared at the beauty before me. The cartography, lighting, and atmosphere instantly pulled me right in, and I was there. Truly an unforgettable gaming experience. The all new weapons and sprites were the icing on the cake. Again, so well thought out, planned, and executed - with balance - kudos to the entire team. "What the hell was that?!" (that ran across the catwalk)... "Are those buildings glowing blue?!"... "Did the floor just drop out!?!"... so many sensational and thrilling moments, it took me right back to the mid 90's, and it felt like the very first time.

Thank you for the outstanding gaming experience, my hat's off to the entire team for all you have created.

Sincerely, ...Borzz
