The more I played this game the better it got. First impression was quite negative, game felt a bit too restricted compared to Doom (2016) like the game was saying "it's either my way or the highway -to hell" ammo was scarce, max capacity low, the game kept dumping new skills, upgrades and equipment, more buttons to press during each fight, everything was more colorful and brighter there was more platforming, and in general things felt overdesigned even bloated.

But it kept me going, the satisfying movement, engaging primary gameplay loop, the well animated glory kills, the steady drip feed of new demons and weapons and of course the superb soundtrack. It all just started coming together and when it's firing on all cylinders Doom Eternal is glorious to witness.
