after playing eternal, man, this game just doesn't feel the same. i did LOVE all the clearly amazing things - soundtrack, combat, exploration, unlockables/upgrades.

after getting a grapple hook, flame thrower, better mods for weapons that make each weapon more exciting to use (shield on minigun for example), more diverse enemies, etc., four years later, it makes doom 2016 feel more like a wonderful sample thats good on its own, but only stands to improve by diving deeper into what identity it has here.

the things that i loved specifically of this game were was the dynamic of traveling back and forth between mars/hell, the audio recordings/voices that you find scattered throughout that are so gritty in their tones, and the consistenty abrasive vibes throughout each level/character/set pieces.
