Probably the best shooter I have ever played. I LOVED Doom 2016, but Eternal absolutely makes that game its ♥♥♥♥♥. They improved on so much from the original.

There are so many mechanics to master to keep you experimenting with your weapons. Speaking of weapons, you can't really rely on one weapon for the whole game (the super shotgun), there isn't a massive cache of ammo for every gun, so you will need to switch between them and use the chainsaw a lot-- people complain about this, but I see it as a good thing since it actually makes you use more than .1% of your brain *cough*annual war shooters*cough*.

The actual gameplay is really fun and brutal. So much going on at once with all the different enemies to keep you on your toes, accompanied with the soundtrack by the absolute legend, Mick Gordon.

The visuals are spectacular. Doom 2016 was fine, but I've grown REALLY tired of the whole "horror space station" aesthetic over the years. Eternal Switches up pretty much every level. There are so many more colors and things popping out, the backgrounds are so nice to look at, so much detail and overall amazing design throughout this whole game, even though I had to play with low graphics.

The online is fine, but a gripe I have with this game is the DRM. You HAVE to log into Bethesda.net to play, which I hate for a game that is primarily singleplayer. Fortunately, there are FREE monthly battlepasses with really neat weapon skins, Slayer skins, and demon skins. Speaking of demon skins, their is a multiplayer mode that can be pretty fun! You play as the Slayer or a selection of demons (demons are easier to play, Slayer requires some practice).

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this game if you've played Doom 2016 already. There's more singleplayer content to come, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Let me say, I think it's unfair to attack the developers. They clearly put a ton of work into this game to make it as good as it is, and they still are. They also got pretty fucked over by Bethesda.
