Game of the Month #118 - Doom Eternal

Played through the game this week and had a blast with it! It's been a while since I've played 2016, but I think I like this more. The shooting is a lot of fun and the soundtrack is incredible. The only things I didn't like were the platforming, the constant tutorials, and the story. It's not that the story is bad, I just think it's too complicated for a Doom game. Most of them are just "Demons? Not anymore." but this one involves multiple planets, godlike creatures, and a lot of backstory for the slayer. On a side note, I did think it was neat that he's called Doomguy in the subtitles during the flashbacks. I just hope the next game is a return to form.

Update: After a total of 11 attempts, I have finally beaten DOOM Eternal on Ultra-Nightmare.

This was definitely up there with some of the hardest shit I've ever done in a game.

Good job! I remember getting down to about 20hp during the final boss and somehow still maintaining my cool, fun times indeed. Oddly enough I found 2016 to be much harder to complete on UN, but you can see for yourself if you're curious enough ;)

Ayy, thanks. I almost died too, last second glory kills for the win (sure as hell wasn't gonna let a glorified cowman beat me after allat shit).
I feel like Eternal's mobility made avoiding damage easier.

Definitely not gonna go for that any time soon, though. Maybe I'll try Ultra-Nightmare in The Dark Ages when that comes out 🫡

Hi guys!

It is a great game with great music, I completed it time ago .. 1st December 2021, on default difficulty

The Ancient Gods - Nightmare diff. - 8:12:35
8/10

+ GLORIOUS COMBAT
+ GLOOOOOOOOORIOUS COMBAT
+ GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIOUS COMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
- The Ghost enemies are not it. I was excited when i saw that there was a new heavy enemy but man did they disappoint. They seemingly only exist to make me use the microwave beam mod and for me, killed the flow of combat.
- The final boss was not fun. At all.

All in all, i had fun, but i ended up groaning whenever i saw blue glowy stuff in the corner of my eye.

I'm probably not gonna be trying to beat this on Ultra-Nightmare, I've had my fill of that for now 😅

The Ancient Gods Part 2 - Nightmare diff. - 5:7:22
8/10

+ MORE GLORIOUS COMBAT
+ Cool ass cutscenes - WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR - DOOM Eternal: Infinity War? That shit was so peak istg.
+ MORE GLOOOOOOOOORIOUS COMBAT
- MOOOOOOOOOOORE GLOOO- No no no, hold the fuck up... what the fuck was that final bossfight?

I was 1 level into this DLC when I realized my "this isn't overwhelmingly hard" was actually an "wow I've gotten better at the game!"
The combat tuning still felt as if the difficulty was slightly below the first part, but still, it was good. ONLY A COUPLE OF BLUE GHOSTS
HURRAH.
I was gonna end up giving this a 9/10 because of how cool the story was, even when I don't give a fuck about the story in these games. The thing is

- That final boss might be one of the worst bosses I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. It felt like the antithesis of everything the game had taught me. "gotta go fast, gotta kill shit" nope, you're playing Stardew Valley: DOOMFarmer edition, bitch. Somehow worse than the first part's boss. Atleast that shit wasn't slow.
