Was a tiny bit bummed out that this game wasn't everything I hoped it would be. Mechanically it's an incredible achievement, they pretty much made a character action game FPS and it's insane to see it in motion with all the moving parts and abilities. But in focusing on that direction, it lost the beautiful simplicity of every other Doom. It also got a bit too self-serious with the plot, where Doom 2016 was very tongue-in-cheek this got really high on its own supply and made things like SUPER GORE NEST somehow not funny. Also the worst thing about it is the fact that Samuel Hayden doesn't say YOU CAN'T JUST SHOOT A HOLE THROUGH THE SURFACE OF MARS during the mission like he did in that gameplay demo, instead he says it in the Fortress of Doom. I'm used to downgrades from demos to the final product, but that choice was simply the worst downgrade I've ever seen!
