Superb gameplay, ripping and tearing through demons is fun and addicting. The amount of weapons is just right to give enough variety for different situations and enemies. Using a chainsaw on a demon is extremely satisfying and will never get old. The powerups in each stage also feel amazing to use, especially the berserk powerup where you just beat demons with your bare hands. The stages did get kind of repetitive by the end. Great sound design, amazing soundtrack. Mick Gordon is a legend. Atmosphere is generally excellent as well with good use of silence and quiet moments although the setting could be more varied since the missions are set in either an invaded science lab or hell.

All of the bosses were forgettable and fairly straightforward even at the highest difficulty which was unfortunate. The enemies themselves only have one or two mechanics to them but the difficulty in each stage is the quantity of enemies and how you manage them. The approach to the story I found to be pretty nice, it's there if you care about it but if not then not a big deal. All in all, the gameplay carries DOOM 2016 so much that the small downsides can easily be overlooked.
