I'm glad to call Doom my gateway to the FPS genre, even if Doom Eternal is not a traditional one in that sense. Progressing from the groundwork of Doom 2016, Eternal ramps up the speed and ferocity of your demon-killing rampage with some funky moves. The weapon-switching is challenging but incredibly rewarding once mastered. The secrets and map exploration are just as fulfilling. The storytelling isn't the main reason to play a Doom game, but there was a lot of effort put to give your demon hunting some purpose. Even the online portion of the game is a nice treat (though my PC struggles in that department). It's an all around solid game that is worth replaying.
