When the mechanics click, the satisfaction I get from this game is damn near unrivaled; however, you spend the first 4 hours trying to figure out what the loop in it is supposed to look like and the last 4 hours just going through the motions because not following that strict loop makes it impossible to progress. The rest of the time you spend with it are blissful, except the story doubles down on its lore and becomes infinitely less interesting than the satirical story DOOM 2016 told.
