guys hello
i havent played too many doom games, in fact maybe just the first few. would you recommend i start with this new modern game or perhaps an older one like eternal?

[BEEP!]

It's before 2016 and Eternal not sure how long before them but it's it's own story.

This game is the prequel to Doom 2016.

Dark Ages is a prequel and uses"stand and fight"combat mechanics heavy emphasis on parries and shields + melee.

Doom 2016 is a fast-paced run-and-gun game with glory kills.
Vulkan render will likely run better for any modern GPU.
The game is capped at 200fps, which is very easy to reach even on max.

Doom Eternal is a VERY fast-paced game where you also NEED to manage your resources, switch weapons, do combos, etc, to play optimally.
+You also have your tools(grenade,flame blech,ice nade,chainsaw) and can dash.

Also has the most jumping sections.
The game also looks more cartoony than D2016.
The priority was gameplay, so it is very easy to notice enemies.

It likely has the longest learning curve and needs the most FPS reflexes for higher difficulties.

Eternal 1st for sure!

Doom 2016, Doom Eternal and Doom The Dark Ages all bring something vastly different when it comes to how they play so in that sense it doesn't really matter which order you play them, but if you want to play them in chronological order then start with The Dark Ages, then do 2016 and then finish with Eternal.

Eternal is by far the best entry.
