    That they ended this game with the stubborn and oblivious doubling down of the horrendous Marauder style fight....makes for an awful finale.

    Also the Atrocious health and ammo farming makes all of Doom Eternal and the DLC’s easily worse than the Re-boot.

    Avoid.

    Loved Doom Eternal, and was ok with part 1. I hated being so frustrated with some of the enemy designs. Take all of the annoying enemies from Part 1 and multiply by 5000. Then add 4-6 new more annoying ones. It feels like they tried to dark souls this game. There is only one way to beat it, and instead of feeling like a bad*** slayer, they turn you into a little B****. Doom is aboutLoved Doom Eternal, and was ok with part 1.

It feels like they tried to dark souls this game. There is only one way to beat it, and instead of feeling like a bad*** slayer, they turn you into a little B****. Doom is about stomping demons, not playing a linear arena, and being forced to use certain guns with certain mods. You have to do that with multiple enemies on multiple stages. The combat loop was fun to begin with, but now they really tie you down. It is not that it is too hard, it just isn't worth it. I beat the main story on Nightmare and no sentinel armor. I didn't think it could get any worse/more annoying than a Baron with regenerating armor that can only be killed with a certain mod, but I was wrong. I quit this DLC after they introduce a cursed teleporter that slows you down, greens out your screen, takes away your dash ability, and can only be killed by a blood punch. All while hitting you with multiple enemies. NOT WORTH IT! To ID software: more is not better in this case. Doom 2016 is perfect, and Doom Eternal was a 9 out of 10. Please do not ruin your own games that I have been playing since Wolfenstein 3D.… Expand

    DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two on Xbox has made tweaks in all the right places to improve things for the concluding part of the DOOM Slayer saga. It’s by no means perfect, but the gameplay and tactics required makes it worth sticking around to finish the fight against evil.

    Playing The Ancient Gods – Part Two is less frustrating and more enjoyable than conquering Part One, and feels like a more balanced experience besides. This is mainly due to the addition of a few interesting new enemies, which makes it all the more disappointing that fighting the Ultimate Antagonist, with whom the DLC and the game ends, isn’t really the final battle Doom Eternal deserves.
