Now They Will Fear You... / Doom Eternal - Part 3
0Let's just start by saying that this is a fantastic, exhilarating, and brutal FPS. As someone who had not gotten into DOOM before this, I was a little concerned with what I would think, but I loved it. I'll break it down into a few categories: Gameplay, Story, and Aesthetic.
Gameplay: This game is so incredibly fluid. The controls make it easy to bounce around the battlefield and destroy demons every step of the way. It's easy to change between weapons, use equipment, and chain together attacks to wipe out the demon hordes. The bosses are challenging, the secrets are fun to find, and slayer gates provide a unique challenge with a promise of reward upon the completion of them all. The only downside that I found is how intense it can be. It's a game that I enjoyed playing for a couple of hours, taking a break, and coming back to, as opposed to grinding it all out in one take. That's just personal preference of a casual gamer though, your experience may differ. 9/10
Story: As I said, this was my first DOOM experience so I didn't know if I would be engaged, but I loved it. The amount of lore hidden around the world was amazing, and truly brought the player into the world of the Slayer. I know some people disliked the use of cut scenes in this game, but I thought they were a pleasant respite from the action and helped to flesh out the story, especially if you didn't feel like reading all of your Codex entries mid-game. The Fortress of Doom also made the character feel more real than I was expecting. 10/10
Aesthetic: Beautiful, brutal, grisly fun all around. Being able to see the damage done to individual demons is incredibly cool, and adds a pseudo-health bar that is so unique. the environments are massive and well thought out. I truly enjoyed looking at this game as I played it and took time to take in the scenery. Plus the music is so intense and perfect for the feel of the game. 10/10
Overall, this is a fantastic game, well worth the money, and has huge replay value as you try to collect everything, play with the cheat codes, and master the game. 9.5/10
