An amazing story with some of the best visuals ever put to screen in a triple-a gaming experience. The combat feels great and is fun, but the game falls short in comparison to previous entries in the franchise due to its lack of party system and incredibly lackluster RPG elements. Overall a great stepping stone towards the next game, and a much needed breath of fresh air following the unfinished and unsatisfying XV.

Played about two hours of it and uninstalled. I get what they were trying to do, with a weird combination of half life and halo / resident evil? It doesn't really work and it's just not what I'd want from a doom game.
The best part about this game is how often they try to scare you, to the point where it's funny. You can't walk 3 feet in this game without something trying to kill you.
If doom 2016 is "the monsters are trapped in hell with you" this is "the monsters will rip you in half and you're a bitch"

Some thoughts; Lego yoda death sound, lego chewbacca scary, the last vehicle level is the shit of nightmares. These first two games have some of the worst close quarters star fox rail sections I've ever played. Other than that it's a slight improvement over the first game, but not by much. This is a good jumping off point for the series.

This game just OOZES style. You're very hard pressed to find truly unique platformers nowadays, but this one definitely hits the mark in standing out among it's contemporaries for it's deceptively simple yet rewarding platforming and incredibly well thought out level design. Each stage iterates and expands on the one that came before it without feeling dull or sluggish for it's 5 world run. Maybe slightly jank physics, but nothing that can't be out maneuvered by clever play.
If I had one thing to complain about it would be the unfortunately simple and challenge-less bosses, thus why this game is only 4 stars. With a movement gimmick as free flowing as a grappling hook, the bosses were pretty underwhelming and nothing remotely ground breaking. There's a lot of room for improvement and iteration in the sequel which I will definitely be picking up!
Overall I really enjoyed my time with this one, I even completed all of the bonus stages which is something I rarely do.
