Once I got over that Doom (2016) is its own thing and not the exact same as original Doom Ive been getting into it. I still feel like the melee kills and chainsaw mechanic break things up a little much for my liking but Ive been putting point into ammo capacity upgrades so I can just run and the gun the whole time. Its fairly epic when youre in a tight arena and having to struggle for survival against the demons of Hell.

It's good

There's also an arcade mode that lets you play the campaign with everything unlocked. You choose a build, and then you just run through and shoot everything. Haven't tried it yet but it might be more what you want.

I saw that but I wanna beat it once before trying that out. Also this game finally made me get a new mouse bc the one I have drops all input for a split second every 5 to 6 seconds and it's making it really hard to play a reflex based shooter lol

The centered weapon option they also added is a silly throwback to the original games, but I love it.

new doom is too slow
and all you do is run laps around squarish arenas.

Yeah I wish there were more bosses actually. It's weird how back-loaded they are

I dont mind running around the arenas because the movement is kinda fun. But I wish they would use a different color palette, every single room looks the same, and theres no real design or backtracking so nothing really sticks out in my head.

The snap to enemy weirdness of the glory kill was already pretty jarring but I unlocked the passive that lets you do it from even further and it just feels broken

yeah i never took that passive off lol. what difficulty are you playing on? it felt pretty necessary on higher levels to rely on the invincibility from the glory kills

I think Im gonna drop the difficulty to easy and blow through the rest of this because I played for like 40 minutes today and realized I bored through most of it. I think this game would have been cooler with about half the levels or every level being half the size. It doesnt help that every level looks the same and has the exact same structure (hallway, arena, hallway, arena etc.)

It took me a half hour to realize the level I was on was a remake of a previous level after it was destroyed, because I thought every level looked the same. I realized it was a revision when I looked at the name of the level, Argent Tower (Destroyed)

yeah actually they will

In the menu it shows about 2/3rds of the level names before you even reach them anyway...not much of a spoiler.
