Liked this a lot more than i figured. The gameplay, while being fast and quite frantic at points, has a nice rhythm to it that's very easy to get sucked into. Has a zen sort of feel imo. The slightly more acrobatic movement than in older Doom is also fun to mess with, especially the double jump. Admittedly some of the later monster rooms can get a bit long in the tooth. Stages themselves are fine, but yeahhhhh. The soundtrack is at least a damn good time, rockin as all hell.
Oh, the story. Yeah it's fine, just the "UAC does stuff with Hell" stuff again. The addition of Samuel Hayden and Olivia Pierce as more proper characters compared to Doomguy is neat, the latter having a somewhat interesting angle with the cult thing. Also Vega is...there I guess, his ending is pretty sweet tho.

TLDR: Game is gud, probably my second favorite Doom game.
