Glass Marathon

Glass Marathon is pure arcade adrenaline. You sprint across bridges that crack under your feet, tapping to leap gaps, and it's fast enough that you stop thinking and just react. That flow state is the whole point.

It leans hard on cosmetic unlocks, which I could take or leave. None of it affects the run, thankfully, so it never tips into pay-to-win. It's just there if you like collecting.

Not deep, and it doesn't pretend to be. But when I want two minutes of tension between tasks, it delivers every time. Sometimes that's all a game needs to do.

What we liked

• Instant pick-up-and-play
• Cosmetics stay cosmetic
• Great for very short breaks
