Playing this after Eternal, I wasn't sure how it would hold up. After finishing, I can say that while Eternal is good, DOOM 2016 is much better. Took me a couple levels to get into it but once I did I was completely hooked. Doesn't overstay its welcome, was exactly what I was looking for with the perfect balance of shooty shoot and exploration. Definitely could've used more variety in Glory Kills but whatcha gonna do.

I don't care about the multiplayer but the bit I played of it seemed inoffensive enough.

2016 is so goated. Definitely need to replay this one. The story, and the overall tone is a lot better than Eternal from what I remember. I even preferred Doom Slayer in this one too, since they're not constantly showing his face in third person cutscenes.
