meh, they're 'well made' but the gameplay loop is so fukking boring. No one is going to be mentioning doom eternal in 10 years, hell they don't even mention it now. Doom and subsequently quake were revolutionary games when they came out, as video games & programmatically with shyt like Quake's fast inverse square root. I feel like a lot of these types of franchises stop innovating and are just nostalgia bait. Same thing goes for Halo
All 3 of these doom games are very different from each other.

Doom changes/innovates with its new entries more than pretty much any other AAA franchise.

Respect the good & understand the bad
I will say, programming wise, Doom Eternal's optimization is pretty remarkable. I'm not married to my opinions for sure. I may need to go give Eternal a retry.

Eternal was a lot of fun, how far did you get into it? It was a nice blend of platforming and hectic firefights imo

The shield mechanic isn’t doing it for me. I have to give it more time but right now, I feel like Eternal was better. We’ll see how I feel once I spend more time with it

Only thing I’m not really feeling is the dragon chapter. Everything else is A1
