It's alright. On it's own it's a fine fps, but it doesn't really provide the kind of experience you'd be looking for if you play Doom games for the sense of exploration. Also a decent amount of the the writing and general tone felt kinda stupid, even for Doom. Constantly presenting Doomguy as some kind of unstoppable god gets old quick. Even 2016 handled this better by having Hayden openly treat Doomguy as nothing more than a tool for his own plans.

I also found it odd that the developers seemed to be fine with making the combat unforgivably difficult in some instances, while at the same time attempt to regularly hold the player's hand regarding map design. People are smart enough to adapt to a game's intended combat loop, but are too stupid to handle non-linear progression? Weird.

I wonder why there is no retro Third Person Shooter General on either /vg/ or here?

>After all, would someone who valiantly fights hell's forces for the good of mankind be damned to hell when dying?
Doom Eternal actually explained this if you care in a codex entry by claiming that people killed/slain by demons end up in hell.

Needs Stalin's chin, mustasche, down-pointing nose, Hammer&Sickle symbol on uniform and a hat with the Star that basically is the Star of (((Solomon))) which represents Hebes and the blood that needs to be spilled under every race in the world that doesn't get wiped out is under chosenite control.
