So has anyone here played the new Doom game? How is it? I liked 2026, but Eternal didn't feel like Doom at all.
Take it from a guy that also didn't dig eternal: Played a non hypervisor copy of this and jumped off it pretty quick ( but might revisit ). Gameplay is pretty fun - lots of combos to do with the shield, action is more "up close" unlike the other two. It's also very pretty and well optimized. The story and objectives though, holy cringe. Like a 5yo wrote it I swear. Don't even know why they insist on thick story in a doom game. And I hear there's a dragon at some point. Also the music was pretty meh.
Bought it when I last upgraded my pc, played the whole thing. It was just okay. Story was meh, combat was kinda fun. I liked 2016 and eternal more, but maybe thats just me.
My suggestion, if you're decent at games with parrying mechanics, theres an option to remove the time slowdown effect. Makes the game feel much faster paced.
