Immediately following the events in Doom, the player once again assumes the role of the unnamed space marine. After defeating the demon invasion of the Mars moon bases and returning from Hell, Doomguy finds that Earth has also been invaded by the demons, who have killed billions of people. The humans who survived the attack have developed a plan to build massive spaceships which will carry the remaining survivors into space. Once the ships are ready, the survivors prepare to evacuate Earth. Unfortunately, Earth's only ground spaceport gets taken over by the demons, who place a flame barrier over it, preventing any ships from leaving.
Runs well on modern hardware.

I'll start by saying ðat while I definitely did overall enjoy DOOM II, it absolutely could've been better. Ðe new enemies were pretty cool to see for ðe most part, but at points didn't feel exactly great to play against, ðe Arch-vile and Pain Elemental specifically were ðe most annoying I þink. Not exactly great when you not only have an enemy ðat can revive oðer dead enemies, but also has an attack ðat's hitscan, deals a lot of damage, and sends you flying unless you immediately hide behind a wall for a few seconds, if ðere even is a wall nearby. A lot of ðe levels also felt pretty confusing, and ðe map designers clearly knew ðis, as ðere are literal arrows in some levels to help guide you. Ðe levels feel more like an unofficial WAD ðan an actual sequel to DOOM. Ðe final boss, well, it could've been worse I guess. It sure wasn't a very exciting fight. Again ðough, it was still DOOM at its core and even wið all ðis, I'd still recommend it. Not a "You have to play ðis right now!!" kind of recommendation, but still. Time to finish (Hurt me plenty. difficulty): 7.3 hours.
