That recycled yank-the-keycard-off-the-corpse animation, thoughā¦
It doesnāt look like they learned much from Eternal. I think Iām going to give this one a miss. All Iām seeing is more mechanic overload, and a really annoying parry system thatās just going to result in about 1/3 of the monster roster being, āThe only way to deal with this guy is to wait for his green attack and parry it, then you get to hit him once. Other than that heās functionally invulnerable.ā Yeah, because the Marauders were totally the highlight of Eternal, and absolutely didnāt grind the entire game to a tedious three minute halt every time you encountered one and played its silly song-and-dance.
I will happily don my asbestos underpants and declare that I really donāt like the direction the new Doom games are taking. Whatever this is isnāt Doom; they could have just as well slapped a new original IP over top of it without any difference.
