DOOM Eternal

Everything about the gameplay, soundtrack, graphics and setting is great, however the technical issues caused by the online elements and complete lack of QoL when it comes to 100% completion makes this an extremely tedious and frustrating experience that does not respect the player's time whatsoever. You would think that it would be common sense to be able to fast travel when replaying missions for collectibles, yet the fast travel only unlocks after you've gotten to specific checkpoints. What's worse is that you have to complete the entire level in one sitting otherwise you will be sent back to the base on your completed save the next time you load the game. As if that's not bad enough, if for whatever reason you miss even just one collectible upon completion you have to do the entire level again. I'm still going to mark this review as positive since the most important aspect (the actual game) is great, but my experience with trying to achievement hunt on this game is enough to make me consider marking it as negative.

Знают демоны в аду Что накликали беду, Чуют точкой номер пять Что пора быстрей бежать, Плачут импы и бароны Разлетаясь как вороны В норы прячутся как мыши И сидят как можно тише. К ним идет с ружьем двухствольным, С автоматом, недовольный, Парень с крепкою броней, Чтобы стать для них судьей; Их свинцом накормит бодро, Заполняя кровью ведра, Кости все сломает в раз, На OCHKO натянет глаз, Будет резать, будет бить, Всех стараясь истребить, Расчленять, сжигать и рвать, Расщеплять, ломать, взрывать. Хоть ты тумбочка, хоть шкаф, Хоть ты гладок, хоть шершав, Не спасут тебя от смерти И ни боги и ни черти Лучше с парнем не шути - Десять BFG из десяти.

It's just not hitting it for me. It feels more like an ammo management simulator than Doom. The most disapointing thing was making his punch worthless. It was actually a viable weapon in Doom 2016, in Eternal it literally does 1 point of damage (unless you built up glory kills but that's beside the point) It doesn't hit for me like Doom did. It's missing that feel of power and destruction, as if their only way to make the game harder was by giving you less ammo. Perhaps it gets better, but 4 hours in and I'm not looking forward to it, unlike in Doom 2016 where I couldn't quit playing.

Loved the 2016 version, really liking The Dark Ages. Eternal is a Red Bull chugging twitchy platformer with lollipop GFX smeared over a Bosch painting... a puzzle-platformer, which is interrupted by forced tutorial messages, weirdly paced combat, and a confusing buffet of combat- and upgrade options. All of which feel kinda weak on purpose so you're forced to change your weapons often. You like the regular shotgun? Too bad, it feels weak, to make you engage in a scissors-rock-paper dance with demons, which feel spongy to fight otherwise. Movement is great, but platform jumping in FPS games was never a good idea... like... ever. Depth perception is off, and yes, you can get used to it. Arena shooters like Quake made you learn stuff like that, but in a single-player Doom, on the critical path, not exploring for secrets or racking up points in a optional area, no, the normal progression path is making you do long jumping and swinging sequences. Nice if you're up for that, but I do not want this in a Doom game. So yeah, "git gud" is part of it, but even when I nailed the jumps, it didn't feel fun to do. It felt like something I was made to do. Art direction was a mixed bag for me. Gone is the yellow filter from 2016, which is nice, but the deliberate call back to arcady nature of power ups and symbols was jarring to me. It felt over tuned this time, which goes hand in hand with the already mentioned confusing upgrade paths. I bought the Steam version ages ago and refunded it. On PlayStation I can't refund it, so yeah, my actual time in Doom Eternal, probably 2 hours give or take. The game is an average shooter with level design way too in love with itself, and a systems designer badly in need of a scope check. Felt like everyone and their mom where part of the design team and nobody was allowed to say no...ever. A bloated, overeager puzzle jumper with a confused direction and a bolted on story...which is needlessly complicated for a Doom game tbh. Did not enjoy my time with it.

ID seriously dropped the ball in this game compared to OG Doom and DOOM 2016. If you enjoy being told what to do 24/7 with no player agency, artificially low ammo, bulletsponge demons that only die if you use the same gimmick specific to them over and over, and massive expositional lore dumping that leaves you with more questions than answers, then this is the game for you. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
