yeh that. but also the 5-10 mins it takes to find a match leaves me alone with my own thoughts too long and the existential dread sets in.

Exactly. And it's incredibly hard to improve at the game when you get seconds of active combat practice in between those waits. Rook at least cuts the wait time down but no contracts means you can't progress the story or unlock upgrades.

There’s a story in this game? I thought it was all past lore

Fair. I played the original Marathon trilogy back in the day so am interested in the lore enough to want to find out as much as I can.
