I've completed Episode 3 on Hey, Not Too Rough. Overall, I was impressed with how the game eventually conveys to me how it works, and how combat and dealing with enemies eventually became manageable, especially when I made liberal use of saving. I watched as my playtime per episode started gradually decreasing, my first episode taking me a few hours and everything going much more smoothly after that.

I think the levels are far too labyrinthine to get fun out of them in a single first playthrough, though. Doom seems best enjoyed at a high(er) difficulty, knowing where everything is and how to effectively maul through everything, and that's not honestly something I'm particularly interested in doing, especially when there's another two games in the series that I want to look at.

Maybe I'm too spoiled by what I've seen from the newer Doom games? Eternal in particular seems to have really fun, interesting looking movement and its game design is balanced around defeating enemies, sometimes in specific ways. When I look at that and I look at this game, I see something that was the start of a really good idea, but not much beyond that.

I've enjoyed my time through overall, though. It's made for a lot of fun Discord calls of me screaming from getting blindsided from a Cacodemon and other things like that.

...and i'm not even going to try beat episode 4.
