Following up on Doom 2016 is a mighty task, and this game in part lives up to that with great level design and improvements to the combat sandbox that make encounters feel more frantic. However, I have to agree with the (from my view) majority opinion that the marauder knight enemies being far too over-tuned for what the rest of the game is encouraging. On top of that, the game suffers from bloat in the upgrade department; some runes/suit upgrades feel far too middling for there to be much decision-making on the player's part. Otherwise, while this game does not always hit the highs of its predecessor, I think it's got enough of its own flair to be worth recommending.
