    Just finished Doom 2016 the other day. What an absolute fucking blast. I have not had that much pure stupid unadulterated fun in a video game in a long time. If Doom Eternal didn’t exist, I would not hesitate to replay Doom 2016 on a harder difficulty just to keep jamming to the soundtrack if nothing else. RIP & TEAR

          Too much thinking for my liking. You need to juggle all the different weapons that are most effective on so and so otherwise you’re fucked. Also a lot more storytelling, which was… fine? But, rereading my negative vote on Steam, was told using the worst possible UX/UI.
          I recall feeling like they had this perfect game, but then somehow, someone decided to hand it over to Bethesda for a last pass because, no, it’s too simple.

          Eternal’s difficulty comes from how many guys it throws at you. Sometimes I just felt like I just made it through a tough battle only for a second or third wave of enemies to show up. It’s like Doom turned up to 11, but 10 was already plenty for me.

            7 is enough for me lol. I enjoyed it, but I couldn’t do it anymore after about 5 hours

        Éternal doesn’t have the arcade mode though. That was such a blast. Also they complexified everything, which really broke my balls. Doom 2016 really was the peek.

          I find DOOM 2016 too simple, even the 10 hour run time starts to drag when every single fight is just strafe and shoot.

          I still think it’s a great game but Eternal is on a whole other level.
