The lighting during the Phobos Labs sections was truly fantastic, really setting the mood of an infested space base. Unfortunately it kinda stops there? There are a bunch of new gameplay mechanics but they're never really explored. If you want more Doom 3 then it's perfect for you.

Awful game.
- Horrendous pacing: You spend half the time talking nonsense, walking through infinite corridors in dungeons, and solving elementary school puzzles.
- Terrible writing and voice acting: The dialogues are filled with excessive, unwanted exposition. Every character feels the need to have an opinion and tell you about their entire life. The main character talks like a robot, and most voice actors act like they're just reading a script.
- Combat is completely braindead: You just spam attacks at enemies and occasionally click the dodge button. There's zero depth to it.
- Useless side content: The game is filled with side activities that make zero sense. Why would I complete an entire quest for a character I absolutely do not care about, just for a cosmetic item? Or pop stupid ass balloons in the air?
- Fake RPG elements: This is the icing on the cake. Every AAA release nowadays feels the need to add this stupid nonsense to give a false sense of progression to players and artificially manipulate difficulty. See that level 30 enemy? It will one-shot you, and you will deal zero damage to it unless you are at the same level. Gear doesn't matter. You will have to grind for stupid, useless items because if the game doesn't last at least 70 hours, it's not worth the asking price. Who cares about a tightly paced game with interesting gameplay and mechanics, right?
Graphics are good, and the animals are cute, though

great game except for the final boss fuck that piece of shit

indescribable experience

I absolutely despise this game. It has the most annoying bosses imaginable and the most boring progression system possible. It completely removes freedom of exploration. I can't believe this is the direction they chose after the incredible Super Metroid.

a pretty artstyle isn't enough when everything else surrounding it is downright terrible

Portal but it runs like shit lol
cool LIGHTS!!!

Doom II is easily the weakest in the series imo. Nothing is really improved from the first entry and often it's actually made worse. The level design goes from interesting and sometimes clever to absolute dogshit (I don't think there's a single Petersen level I enjoyed). The final boss is a complete joke in that regard.
Music still bangs tho and the super shotgun is by far the best weapon in the franchise.
