  I prefer the way Doom 2016 looks and sounds, but Eternal is the more fun game I think.

    Now that you put it like that, I think what puts me off is all the melee and glory kills. Not my cup of tea. I need my social distancing from hellspawn. That, and the puny amounts of ammo. When I play a boomer shooter, I want to shoot. If I wanted melee, I’d play Mortal Kombat or something.

      The lack of ammo is solved with the chainsaw. That’s why they give you puny zombies in every battle. They’re easy to kill for a little health, and it only takes one charge of the chainsaw to fill up on ammo.

      Doom rewards you for playing aggressively, much more so that the OG game did. They want you to get right up into the thick of it, not corner peek with your shotgun.

      Definitely fair if that’s not your type of game though. It’s plays quite different from the original.
