Absolutely loved Doom 2016. Knew it was going to be hard for Doom Eternal to come close to it but boy did it ever.

I don't know if I like Eternal more then its predecessor but I'm confident in saying that I like them the same amount for different reasons.

Doom 2016 revived Doom and was paced wonderfully (from what I remember) and encapsulates Doom so well in the modern gaming scene.

Doom Eternal expands on the gameplay wonderfully from enemies, movement, progression, and of course weapons. While the pacing of the game doesn't feel as good the lore and scope of the story expands dramatically, which isn't what I'm necessarily looking for in a Doom game but it was done well and therefore very much welcomed.

There is nothing bad in Doom Eternal but I wish there was 1 or 2 more one on one boss fights with unique enemies that don't show up regularly after you fight them as normal enemies.

If you enjoy FPS games or just badass characters that just fuck shit up I can't recommend the modern Doom games enough. Although you should probably start with Doom 2016 first because playing Eternal and going back is would be an adjustment.
