Finished DOOM eternal Ancient God Part 1 DLC, gotta say as a die hard DOOM ETERNAL fan kind of a letdown at the start, 1st chapter/level out of 3 total was horrible to say the least, OG DOOM eternal had perfect gameplay pacing/balancing, the right amount of exploration, platforming and combat sections, But this 1st level through all of it out of the window, it's just fighting multiple waves of enemies in a same arena twice or thrice, the level was way shorter and only dragged out by repeated combat section to the point where it loses all its adrenaline rush, but the next two levels were good, to say the least, the levels were big enough good platforming and combat scenarios, sadly not as pitch-perfect as the base game,
the new addition to this DLC was some new enemy types, one of them soul possessing demon which kinda of annoying rather than amazing.
The last boss fights 2nd phase was also annoying as it used the same soul-possessing type of enemies.
Also the ost is good get the job done but it ain't on the level of MICK GORDON.
OVERALL Kind of a let down would say 7/10.
GOOD cliffhanger tho

@Guntor yea combat can carry it but it leaves a lot to be desired, especially when the base game is just so much PERFECT
