5/5 ★ – Barni's review of DOOM Eternal.

I was stumped at what to say for DOOM, now i have literally no idea how to describe Eternal. The best way i can put it is that its just fps perfection Theres a way Doom Eternal should be played and its really damn fun so the game punishes you when you don't play it that way. Theres not once where i've launched Doom eternal and have been bored or "not in the mood" because the games gets you in the mood. The devs have taken the initiative to make the player have fun rather than to leave them thinking how to enjoy the game and thats right up my alley. The combat loop has only gotten better with the addition of the new enemies and weak points system. Theres a way and a reason to use every weapon in your arsenal that 2016 lacked. The chainsaw is given more purpose with it now being your primary source for ammo unlike 2016 where you'd have to get pickups since the chainsaw was only a fun insta kill weapon. The new weapon mods are much more balanced and well thought out and the amount of weapon combos that are derived from them is just amazing and i honestly love it. Lots of people dislike the new art style but imo it doesn't make a big difference, doom is sick either way. The game wasn't meant to be a sequel, but its own game that stands alongside 2016 and thats exactly what it became. Just a well made game with great enemies, fun story, and a unique playstyle. I never knew i needed Doom eternal but honestly don't know if i can live without it.
