I've played around for a minute with the 10 hour trial and my experience is terrible. Youtubers were saying that this game was being revived so I was thinking I should try it out. Everything feels extremely sluggish no matter what graphics setting I choose. Its insane how that the main menu character looks like PS3 graphics on ultra settings. What is going on with people developing this game???

Very fun Part 1 DLC. I'm interested on how the events will pan out on part 2. Overall the only thing I have against the DLC is the characteristics of the AI. It seems to me the AI on nightmare difficulty is becoming so intricate and precise that its like a probabilistic math problem at every mini boss, encounter, and final boss. Some bosses are easy to figure out, others not so much. You have to follow the formula properly, you are allowed some small errors but if there is too much errors, you don't get the right answer. The part is that, you have to figure out the formula. The time you take to figure out that formula can take minutes or could take hours depending on how well you can think on your feet while following an overall plan on how to solve it.
Besides that it was a fun DLC, I recommend it!

#UPDATED REVIEW AFTER ANTI-CHEAT PATCH
When first playing the game after the patch, I was met with an extremely laggy game throughout. In both single-player and multiplayer there was a major decrease in smoothness of the game. Navigating through the game was a pain because there will be a stutter popping at semi to intense fighting scene. Usually this would be written off that the Anti-cheat had dramatically affected the performance of the game but I want to verify if that was the case.
I begin to test to see if my performance was decreasing so I turn on the performance diagnostics and see that my frame rate is at a constant 60 fps and only dipping below marginally during heavy traffic in the game. This is not supposed to happen and so I thought that it was something wrong with my driver interacting with Doom Eternal. Since I had a Nvidia GPU, I refresh my driver using Nvidia's software and launch Doom Eternal again. Doom Eternal now is running more smoothly.

This is not to say that this is an end all be all answer to the anti-cheat performance problem. I just tried it and I'm not definitely sure if it will work for everyone else who are affected by this.
Below is my review:

The game is amazing and an overall improvement from 2016. If you like 2016, you will most likely love this game. I played a lot of 2016 doom on nightmare mode and this eternal's nightmare mode feels around the same difficulty. The difference is the new characters which can be a pain. I often see around that people are complaining about the Marauder and in honestly I can't blame them. Marauder is a difficult enemy to beat because hes hard to understand at first. He's an odd enemy compared to the others with pacing. He will have you rework your strategies when he spawns. But the marauder is one of the best enemies out of the game. I would hate it if they nerfed him because he introduces an aspect that keeps players that like to comeback and/or play harder difficulty to switch up and keep you on your feet. Without him, the game would feel like its a one and done ordeal.

The Good:
Amazing Soundtrack
Amazing level design
Great enemies
Amazing Ending
Marauder!
Battlemode
Interesting Story

The Bad:
>Lackluster multiplayer so far, There needs to be more modes to keep entertainment
>The chainsaw lost is glory to the crucible. You can't one hit heavies anymore.
>There's nothing to fall on when you are out of ammo except the chainsaw
>Currently there are some bugs that can break the flow of the game
>There needs to be more endgame content like skins and taunts
>There needs to be a feature that players can taunt while in a battlemode match

Its a grind but a fun grind with friends

I give this game a 4 out of 5 since. Its fun, face-pace action that gives me feels Hotline Miami vibes from back in then. My main criticisms of this game is the lack on continuity. There is no modern stuff like cosmetics, custom skins of weapon, different hats for the character and the companion you play as in the game. The story for this game is lack luster at face value but I believe that is acceptable because it makes up in the gameplay mechanics and the self-relieving clicking when you chain clean kills in a rapid session or scoring S- Rank in every chapter. My Main criticism of this game has to be the scoring and the mechanics for speed running. To my knowledge there isn't much and its very annoying to have to press so many buttons to restart the whole game if you are doing flawless speedruns of the game. I believe it would be better if the game was more modular in a sense of you were able to macro buttons to certain commands like restarting a level or restarting the whole save if you are doing that. It is (or I should say was) annoying that the scoring system was bugged which discourage me from getting the highest score in the leaderboards due to people scoring points way above that is humanly possible.
But overall the game is pretty fun for the price range of $15-$30 dollars and the levels are very unique. So I believe that it should get a 4 out of 5.

This is my review of the game i played for about a good 26 hrs in Campaign, Multiplayer, and Snap Map,

The Campaign

iD Software fix you s h i t please on nightmare mode it is badly optimized for playability this monstrosity of a mode is hell in a videogame. Gasoline Powered Chainsaw barely works at times and is buggy as hell. moments where in a Brighter Tomorrow and the last check point was one of the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ times i ever had playing a game and I played ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scooby-doo on my gamecube, its a ♥♥♥♥ game don't get me wrong but at least it isn't buggy as ♥♥♥♥.
At times when trying to kill the revnant they will litterally shoot at the roof and it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ counts as the REAL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DEAL and you die.

Standing 10 ft. from a barrel, mutated guard shoot at it, you die and he lives scott free.

demon throws a fireball. doesn't hit the hell knight, Oh no sir no no. It hits directly at you and the knight gets to have fun just with his kill animation.

Also the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying death animations for the revnant. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ALLOW THE ABILITY OF NO COLLISIONS. this ♥♥♥♥ is notorious for killing me every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time. spent three ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ days trying to beat one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level because it's so buggy as hell.
Plus iD Software, ALLOW THE ABILITY TO BIND A RESET KEY TO LAST CHECKPOINT DURING THE CAMPAIGN, i would think this would be already implemented. but no its not sadly.

Oh and the stupid trailer saying that this game is the "best ♥♥♥♥ ever",. please don't believe that for this game. because probably back then the past Doom may have not been so buggy and actually fun but this rehashed crap don't cut it Id. it doesn't.
Maybe I'm being super salty right now and I'm probably am but I haven't been this pissoff because of a game in a long time like almost a decade.

The Multiplayer

besides the singleplayer. the multiplay brings the classic quake feel to the game which is pretty good. has a very small progress progression compared to otherstuff and doesn't really have much to unlock except for the colors which depending on your taste you make only like a few.

the communility is pretty ok. They're mostly on Team Deathmatch which gets boring pretty fast if your playing solo but with friends can get fun.

The Snapmap

Snapmap, i may butcher it horribly, is semi meh. its cool that you get to make mods and some you can do with your friends as well. but there is barely some good mods out there. it's just that not a lot of people making them anymore.


To rate this game as a hole hmm probably a 2/5 to be professionally honest. i love quake i played it before but id ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up for me with this bomb.
To a personal note to Id,
instead of a dlc that gives you "new stuff" to do. just give a lot of bug fixes and ability for people to have more control of the game like more keybinding power.

Meh mostly just a puzzle parkor only about 14 levels , it only gets challenging at around the last level. This game has a pretty bad plot about some ♥♥♥♥ about net nutrality but i didn't really give a ♥♥♥♥ , pretty broken and a good time waister

best game every with funny and great mods
