The menu has a plethora of settings to customize the game to your liking. That said, there are things you can do even before starting a new game to make your run even smoother! Ammo is drastically reduced, the chainsaw lost its “free outta jail” status (more on that later), hard enemies are introduced fairly early, and arenas have fewer pick-ups to encourage the game’s newfound style of “taking what you need”. The first thing you need to know is that this is not 2016, and you should not play like that. The only exception being the Slayer Gates, but these are optional fights that throw everything the game has at you, so stands to reason that the game won’t let you cheesy them. Not only that, but exploring the levels will grant you cheats to use in missions you have already beaten, and again, there is no penalty to progress. Every difficulty is unlocked from the start (yes, even the “you only live once” Ultra-Nightmare) and you can change between them at any point in time with no penalty. It’s definitely aimed at fans of the franchise that crave a challenge, but it has no intention of gatekeeping everyone else. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as it also gives you the tools needed to deal with the onslaught, and it’s just a matter of using them effectively. Some are light, some are heavy, and some have spikes and are actively trying to turn you into gibs!
Ultra-Violence in Eternal feels like Nightmare in '16, and Nightmare feels like playing a casual game of Animal Crossing but Tom Nook wants to set you on fire (what do you mean that’s the actual plot?)! The game wastes no time introducing you to some of its new elements and asks you to juggle multiple balls from the start. It knows it is a boomer shooter and more importantly, it knows it is a sequel to Doom. So rev that chainsaw, cock that shotgun, and get those itchy trigger fingers ready! Cause Corona is temporary, but Doom is Eternal baby!Įternal is a video game ass video game, leaning harder on the arcade-y root of the series and forgoing some of the more believable elements that made ‘16. Having just finished the game twice, once on Ultra-Violence (the gentleman’s way to play) and once on Nightmare, I feel like I got enough insight to help my fellow Slayers have a nicer, safer, and overall more fun trip through hell. It is also much, much harder than its predecessor, requiring a slightly different approach from that game.
Doom Eternal, the sequel to the unexpected hit that was Doom 2016, is upon us, here to save us from the dread and fear of real life.
