DOOM is really, really good. I didn't think it was going to be super good but then the Bombcast guys were raving about it and I'm like 'y'know what sure' and then man wow just
The combat is SO MUCH FUN. It's just, like, super active. If you're not moving, you're getting murdered, and between double jumping and your ability to climb up ledges quickly, you have plenty of options for getting around. Enemies are powerful and rude but it's okay because your weapons are also powerful and rude. Health goes up and down a lot, and when you've damaged an enemy enough, if you perform a melee attack on them, you instantly finish them off and they explode into health. You've also got a CHAINSAW, which is a one hit kill on any non-boss enemy. You can use that to both take care of problem enemies before they fuck your shit, but also you can use a LOT of ammo in a single combat scenario, and when you chainsaw kill an enemy, they explode into a TON of ammo, which is good because your super shotgun is outta ammo and you need to shoot more dudes in the face with the super shotgun.
In one combat encounter, I'm juggling several weapons, a chainsaw, grenades, and my hold on my life, which is tenuous at best, and there are a million enemies everywhere and i'm basically out of breath by the time everyone is dead and it's SO SATISFYING.
Oh, there's no regenerating health, so those melee finishers are super important, but also, there is no reloading. Well, one weapon reloads, but yeah. No reloading, because this implies WAITING FOR SOMETHING. and we can't be having that
there's also a lot of secrets to hunt for if that's your thing. It's kind of my thing.
