DOOM Eternal

The DOOM Eternal continues the DOOM 2016 campaign of the year and makes it noticeably louder. The Executioner of Doom takes up arms again, and battles take place on Mars, on ships, and finally on Earth itself, which the demons have already captured. The Doom Slayer operates without further ado, with motivation expressed through scenes and found footage. The story scenes have grown and build on the second part of the series, but the main thing here is the pacing. The arena turns into a platform for constant movement: jumps, jerks and grabs replace each other, and you can’t stand still even for a second. The arenas are designed like halls for maneuvers: balconies, springboards and grappling areas, and you can’t stay in one place. Weapons work like a set of tools: each type of enemy has its own barrel, and ammunition is obtained by finishing off enemies at close range. There is no reload, but the chainsaw and flamethrower become part of the strategy, not decoration. Demons are divided into types, and each has its own weapon, so you have to quickly switch in battle. The additions expanded the battle on the fortress and introduced new opponents with bosses that require you to learn moves in advance. Arena challenges encourage you to replay episodes for the sake of high difficulty. The The Ancient Gods expansion added new worlds and bosses, and also raised the difficulty to the limit. Restrictions on progress encourage you to look for non-standard weapon assemblies and replay arenas. For anyone who wants real pressure from every fight, this metal music and the roar of demons is perfect.
