When the game gets going, its a lot of fun. Soundtrack is excellent - one of the best ever. There is nothing technically wrong with the game.</p> <p>However, I cannot recommend this game, because I did not have fun playing it. For fans of the first game expecting similar gameplay, understand that in certain aspects, Doom Eternal is a VERY different game. My biggest complaint are design decisions that get in the way of having fun. Every time it feels like I am getting in the flow, the game does something dumb to ruin it.</p> https://alinuxuser.com/posts/2023/01/2023-01-28-doominitialthoughts/ Sat, 28 Jan 2023 19:47:00 -0600 https://alinuxuser.com/posts/2023/01/2023-01-28-doominitialthoughts/ <p>I put off playing Doom (2016) for many years because I wanted to have a machine powerful enough to play it. After finishing Gun yesterday, which was a thoroughly mediocre shooter, I was in the mood for something good. Considering that I am now fortunate enough to own a fantastic computer, I decided now is the time.</p> <p>To this day, I avoided all media related to this game. After watching the gameplay reveal video many years ago, I decided this game needs to be experienced without any spoilers.</p>
