too focused on figuring out the gun/enemy type mechanics.
I haven’t finished Eternal and would probably need to drop the difficulty to the lowest setting to try. I just can’t keep up with combat that fast, especially when it feels like I have less freedom to choose my weapon than in 2016. 2016 wanted me to rip and tear, but Eternal wants me to play 3D chess while skateboarding.
2016 was perfect, and a worthy successor to the original. I think the scene in the beginning sums it up: there’s a story, but doomguy doesn’t care and smashes the screen. Rip and tear.
Aside from the stylistic change to ugly, cartoony visuals, and the more restrictive, rigid gun mechanics, Eternal’s story was all over the place. I only got a few hours in, but it was just random characters that had nothing to do with anything.
2016 was great and I mostly followed along.
Eternal lost me, probably because I was too focused on figuring out the gun/enemy type mechanics.
The Ancient Gods I have no idea what was going on.
The original was definitely better, but maybe that’s just because I was 7 at the time.

That’s a very accurate assessment of Eternal!
