---{ Graphics }--- Beautiful: 8/10 If you kill demons with chainsaw they will start s***ing rainbows. ---{ Gameplay }--- *CLICK* Nice: 9/10 Unlike 2016 you need to think first, shoot after while you’re in combat, everything goes super fast but you'll get use to it. ---{ Soundtrack }--- Eargasm: 10/10 Why isn’t this soundtrack on Spotify ---{ Difficulty }--- Easy to learn / Hard to master: 6/10 When I was younger I really sucked at this game but now I’m pretty good but I’m still not good enough for ultra-nightmare. ---{ Story }--- Good: 7/10 It is a way bigger and more complicated story then in 2016, I have no Idea how they came up with it but it’s f***ing awesome, but doom the dark ages story is just better. ---{ Game Time }--- Average: 8/10 The story is perfectly balanced and there is a lot of content for after the game. ---{ Bugs }--- Never heard of To kill an Arachnotron in Doom Eternal, shoot its top-mounted plasma turret with a sticky bomb from the Combat Shotgun or a Precision Bolt from the Heavy Cannon to destroy its weak point. ---{ 8 / 10 }--- If you like working fast and kicking ass this is for you.
If you're looking for more Doom 2016 this isn't it. This is run n' gun resource management simulator. Must use this gun for this mob and shoot at this part of their body specifically. Juggle up to six cooldowns while jump dashing to this launcher and vaulting on this pole to evade the imp's fireballs and the caco vomit and that hell knight charging at you. I played on Ultra-Violence as I do with every DOOM game and had a terrible time. I just wanted to BLAST demons in the face in peace. I don't want to look bottom right for ammo count all the time. I don't want to switch to the p00ssy full-auto gun. I don't want to scope-in in a muffuggin DOOM game. I don't want to use the chainsaw on teeny-weeny-widdle imps and soldierboy demons because I ran out of ammo for my favorite guns. The chainsaw is supposed to be a flourish, a special occasion mogging tool for butchering Barons and Mancubi, not an ammo-begging tool on piss-mobs. I persevered past the first level and finished the second level with all collectibles and encounters and slayer gates completed. It only gets worse. I'm not talking unmanageable, unbeatable, skill issue or what-have-you. I'm talking UNFUN. NOT FUN. Everything becomes a chore. Doomguy don't care about weak spot. Doomguy don't care about weapon type. It shoot? It explode? It sharp? It blunt and heavy? Doomguy shoot. Doomguy blast. Doomguy slash. Doomguy smash.
Where to start... I played Doom Eternal after it came out and now again to prepare myself for Dark Ages...This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer Doom 2016 over Doom Eternal...but that doesn't mean Doom Eternal isn't a good game. Where the game excels is at level design. The platforming aspect might be a turn off for some, but I believe it was tastefully done...What I like less compared to Doom 2016 is the constant farming loop which is ramped up to 11 - it's "shoot some demons, avoid damage, glory kills for health, shoot some more demons, avoid damage, chainsaw for ammo" rinse and repeat...I wouldn't mind it if I got to actually enjoy in shooting them, but since I need to constantly move to survive I rarely see the demons I actually kill or hit...the enjoyment is then lost. Even tho I do not prefer it over Doom 2016, I will give Doom Eternal 8.5/10 which means I still highly recommend it
