You will find some redundancies in this loop as precision shots on the heavy rifle do get heavily emphasized throughout the entirety of “The Ancient Gods – Part 2”, and well, DOOM Eternal altogether. Instead, now everything gets used, making players aware of what each attachment does and their importance in each and every situation. This evolution comes as the fanbase has requested that more of their loadouts be utilized, making it nigh impossible to focus on just using the combat shotgun, super shotgun, or ballista. The Armored Baron is another good example of this gigantic leap in the challenge DOOM Eternal has to offer, making players pay close attention to the mace in its hand as its flashing green indicator informs them of a vulnerability spot. Fights that one would assume should be easy, are far from it, which is refreshing to those looking for a challenge, but for those that struggled before, this expansion could be almost impossible when dual marauders and the Screecher’s get tossed their way, making them have to ignore the latter as they buff everything around them when killed outside of a Glory Kill. In the expansion, there are a few noteworthy changes including an immense increase in the difficulty spike. That being said, “The Ancient Gods – Part 2” does what we would have hoped: Evolves the game. Now as we don’t do very many spoilers here, we’re going to keep it that way and just let you know, you’re in for one Hell of a story. DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part 1 was just a practice session for what was to come as the gameplay loop evolves The Marauder becomes a regular as do enemies such as the Cyber Mancubus and some of the new baddies that are lurking around including the Stone Imps, Armored Baron, and the Screecher to name just a few. Enemies get more frequent than they had been previously. Many may see the uncanny likenesses between DOOM II: Hell on Earth and DOOM Eternal rather quickly.

In many ways, this was the “End Game” of the franchise, giving id Software some creative freedom with where to go from here once the final shotgun shell has fallen and the last enemy has been ripped and torn.

Letting players know more about The Father, Dark Lord, and the Doom Slayer himself. The story itself, simply put, is a closure of sorts. His long-awaited battles have come to a close, watching him massacre his way through Hell’s forces time and time again over the course of 28 years. One of the biggest things about the entire story, we already know, is that all things are coming to an end for the Doom Slayer as we know it. It adds variety, unlike anything we’d seen before, allowing fans to go up against some of their long-awaited encounters, including an armored Baron of Hell, one of the nastiest of nasties that don’t know how or when to stop. Before you know it, the chapter of the Doom Slayer has come to a close, setting fans down and letting them know their rage-induced massacre is now over. In the scope of things, you became a God, who kills the Gods, and buries their rage in the guts of their foes as you rip, tear, and blast your way through unsightly foes. Large, mean, demonic, and hard as all Hell by the time “The Ancient Gods – Part 2” stomped its way onto PCs and consoles. That was five years ago, a bit of a shocker really, but it gave us an idea of what the future would become. It set the pace, combat became fast, it became furious, and it never felt so damn good to rip and tear the way we had. It was the game that would warm you up for the things to come at a later date. Looking back to DOOM (2016), I have come to the conclusion, it was the tutorial for what was to come. More jumping and climbing could deter players who struggle with platforming
