Doom 1 took me about 5 hours to complete but this game was a little longer. Doom II is a more difficult game than the first, both because of new enemies like the Revenants, and because of the increase of puzzles, parkour and backtracking throughout the levels. I honestly like this change, and it helps Doom II be just different enough from the first game while still feeling like a true sequel.

I don't have a lot of flaws, but there are 2 that come to mind. I feel like the ost is a bit of a step down, often sounding like elevator music. And the second is that I don't think the level design is as appealing. One thing that I loved about the first one was that the levels got more and more surreal the further into the game you got. Doom II has progression throughout its level designs, but not as cool or memorable as the first game.

Overall, really fun game. If you liked the first game you'll probably enjoy this one too!
