This might be controversial but i didn't enjoy Doom Eternal but i will recommend it because i am the problem.
Let me be clear i think the vast majority will love this game and the reviews do show that but for me it just wasn't enjoyable.....i will try and explain my reasoning.
I'm a gamer of a certain age and remember the original Doom and all those that followed, the good and the bad and the vast majority were great shooters where you could have a great time blasting various enemies back to hell but this version seems to have turned into superfrog (that probably ages me).
Some of the action in this game is superb and can be edge of the seat stuff but then as soon as that exiting moment is over i have to triple jump to a barrier where i have to swing to a pole before climbing a wall and speed jumping to press a button that opens something somewhere which can only be reached by perfectly timed jumps to a platform hidden round a corner and well you get the idea.
As i said most gamers will love this i just couldn't be arsed with all the platform shenanigans and ended up rage quitting and uninstalling the game :(
In the old days i would have happily given my copy of this game to someone who would have enjoyed it more but sadly those days are gone.
I fully acknowledge i am the problem here.......I think perhaps i have been looking through rose tinted testicles too much :)
