yo this game fucking rips (and tears)
The flow state I get into where there's a back-and-forth between me just slaughtering enemies then getting a bit too bold and flirting with death with just a sliver of health only to bring myself back into the action and proceeding to destroy more demons is that good shit.
The intensity of Doom Eternal's combat is unmatched by any other single-player game I've ever played.
Maybe the only thing that's better in DOOM (2016) is the tone in the writing. I don't mind the more lore-heavy turn in this game though. It's a great excuse for the devs to make visually stunning, out-of-this-world levels, and I'm all for the ridiculous prog black metal album cover aesthetic. There are also enough silly over-the-top moments to balance things out. Plus, the game is also super arcade-y, so it doesn't ever feel like it's pretending to be anything more than a sick as fuck video game!
