There are allready a lot of reviews that go indepth so i'll just keep it short.
This game is amazing and creative. I especially enjoyed the binding of isaac area. even the worst stage was mostly fun, which was spelunky. I can't really explain why though, it just didn't click. The bosses were all great especially the final boss.
i'd say this is a must play

This is one of the best games on the site hands-down, and I really think the team was at their element with this one.
Runnerman - this stage was honestly my least favourite one, but the least favourite for this game is still great. It kinda felt like the shell power up from NSMB (went a little too fast, tended to bonk off walls uncontrollably). The boss fight was pretty fun but I feel like if the levels were longer and able to get me more used to how the Runningman worked, I feel like I would've been able to react to the incoming obstacles in the fight easier instead of it being just trial and error, but that's probably just because I'm bad.
SMB. 2 - One of the best. I really like how this stage splits into three substages which helps you feel like you're progressing more. Some of the traps in this were just genius and the level design went well with picking up stuff. The boss definitely feels like a remastered version of the original IWBTG Mecha Birdo fight and navigating onto each platform while dodging all the lasers and stuff was really fun. One of the harder fights for me.
Baba - Pretty fun, I really liked how blocks (eg. Baba, is, etc.) that needed to be pushed could be stood on, and I feel like those puzzles were pretty fleshed out. The ghost boos had pretty interesting and fun attacks and I feel like the difficulty was spot on compared to the platforming.
Binding of Isaac - Going through this was the greatest feeling of euphoria for me for a long time. Throughout the whole game so far, I would die to every save multiple times and never get through it on my first try. This stage was a huge relief for me because that meant I could just speed through the whole stage without dying and it was definitely one of the best parts of the game imo. Besides the difficulty, I feel like the enemies and boss design was great, especially the shadows under some of the projectiles which were crucial for me to understand where they were.
Spelunky - Going back to standard platforming after such an easy stage did make this seem a little hard, but there were no difficulty spikes and everything was laid out so that if you died, it was your fault, unless it was one of the brilliant traps. Also, Mr. Ribbit was a cute and charming boss which was fun to learn.
Contra - When I started this, I kept telling myself that I would beat one more save and then do something else, but this stage kept pulling me back in when I thought I was out. I feel like the fangame systems and Contra work really well together which elevated this stage to something which at first glance wouldn't seem that great, but it was one of the most fun out of all the stages. The boss was great also and kinda felt like a Cuphead boss.
Castlevania IV - One of the trickiest stages (probably due to the zoomed-in camera and the different but fun weapon) that was really fun to figure out. The blue warp things were fun to master, and the boss was great at forcing the player to get good with the whip and learn to outsmart its many random and quick attacks.
Simulation - Alright stage which seemed only better than the first stage. Some of the enemy placements were kinda iffy (Kirby area) but every other part of this stage was great to revisit, now in a more polished style.

Overall, this is definitely the best blind race game ever and the only major thing bad about this game is that it might be the last one.

Based on the initial version posted on DelFruit.
A respectable effort for a marathon game; while I found most of the first half boring, this year's game didn't wear out its welcome with a terribly drawn-out stage at the end like last year's.

Overall I'd say the game improved as it went on and I was left with a mostly positive impression by the end.

Very very good fourth marathon game that introduces some mind-blowing segments and gimmicks. Most shiny stages were Contra, which was non-stop action fun platforming with epic boss at the end; Spelunky, which was thrilling journey with some non-standard for fangames interactions with items in the stage, and with also very fun boss at the end; and Baba is You - great puzzlish stuff, not too complicated, but very enjoyable all the way through
Rest of the stages were also fun, but they do kinda lack in some places; for example Binding of Isaac was awesome in terms of production and art, but man, it abrupt so spontaneously, that i was actually sad it's over so soon. Also i didn't fan of using Mario stage 4 time in row in marathon games, it was not bad stage (boss was bruh tho), but it was just eeh, here we go again. Some saves in Castlevania stage were kinda hard and too much precise, despite being interesting. Final stage while being awesome in general was slightly nasty in some places
But the biggest issue for me was final boss. This boss has some obnoxious attacks that are harder by mile than rest of them, which was quite bad thing to witness. Had bad times with this boss, annoying experience overall, and only because of this boss i dropped rating from above 9.5. But i must appreciate vibe of this boss, it was really perfect for it's place, as ending point of first marathon games
In general, it was still pleasant adventure. Some occasional bad things didn't stop me from enjoying this hardly for most part

Very very solid game, there's a mix of the more fangamey sections that made marathon so interesting as well as the more faithful game recreations which make warp the worlds and cure so impressive, and all of it is done to a very high standard of quality. There's not really much I would complain about here, it's just a consistently solid game that I believe is a must play, especially if you've played the other marathon games. Fantastic experience!

the castlevania 4 stage is obnoxious but the rest of the game is so high quality and fun it doesnt bother me that much. all the bosses are incredibly fun, which is rare for me as I usually hate bosses in adventure games. the final boss is fantastic and was probably the highlight of the experience
also i know im very late to actually playing this oops

What a fantastic way to conclude the Blind Race series.
I'll not spoil anything for this, as you have to see it for yourself to believe it.

The final marathon game, and also easily the best one. I had a blast playing through it.
Runman:
An amazing way to start this game. The art is incredible, the vibe is chill, and it's very fun to play. The boss was fun too.
SMB2:
While I think Mario is a little overused theme in fangames, I liked this stage. The colonel secret was funny. The boss was a fun remake of Mecha Birdo from the original I Wanna Be The Guy.
Baba Is You:
One of my favorite stages in the game. It executes the puzzles very well with platforming, and it was incredibly fun to figure out. The boss could have been a bit shorter, but it was still fun.
Binding Of Isaac:
I first tried this stage, but I had fun while it lasted. The Mayumushi room was cool.
Spelunky:
At first I didn't like this stage, but dodging the traps felt pretty satisfying. It's still one of the more boring stages in the game. The boss was decent.
Contra:
This stage was fine. It was a bit too repetitive, but it was okay. The boss was the most fun part of the stage.
Castlevania:
Surprisingly fun stage. The orbs felt a bit janky, but it wasn't too bad. The boss felt a little luck based, but it got semi consistent. The second phase was a bit unnecessary and evil though.
Simulation:
The best stage in the game. It's a brilliant recap of the previous marathon games. The visuals were really cool too, and it was an epic and climactic last stage.
Final Boss:
The absolute highlight of this game. It's one of the best final bosses I have ever seen in fangames. The first phase is a recap of the previous marathon games final bosses. It's pretty long, but it doesn't feel too long. The second phase is against the simulation itself. It's brilliantly made, and has so much attention to detail. I wish the second phase was a bit harder, as it's much easier than the first half, but it's still amazing.
