You can't just blow mars.

Doom Eternal is exactly what makes Doom Doom. Incredibly kinetic, easy to understand/hard to master gameplay focused on movement and split second strategy, ass-kicking music, and a straight up dogshit story. Combining one of my favorite selections of weapons in video game history with an incredible rock-paper-scissors dynamic with managing your resources, Doom Eternal is a game that makes you feel like you're truly accomplishing something at every moment. Also, not gonna be all eloquent about this, but I just fucking adore slayer gates.

Not every level is a home run, not every enemy is fun to deal with, and that story is some ass, but Doom Eternal is exactly what it needs to be. It's DOOM.
