Now, when I said that the game’s got a lot of the drip, I meant it. I actually like the lore in Doom Eternal quite a bit. Hell yeah! The Slayer and the Doom Guy are the same person.

But who cares about those? Now, people weren’t super sure if that’s still canon or if DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal are separate games… but then with some lore here and some references there, id Software basically confirmed that it is still canon.

I was familiar with the original DOOM games’ story… Doom Guy is killing all the demons because they murdered his pet rabbit, Daisy,… and all the other humans. The main character, the Slayer/Doomguy, is a badass Sentinel that comes down from a space station and fucks up demons that are taking over the world. Nobody cares? Good! But in case you did care, you’ve been warned!įrom the getgo, DOOM Eternal is dripping with… the drip. Who would have thought that a gamepad’s actually kind of good in a shooter? I would have never attempted to use it here as mouse and keyboard’s usually a lot more reliable… but nobody cares about headshots in DOOM and I wouldn’t hit them anyway.Īnyways, SPOILERS. Instead, I played through it on stream over the past few weeks and I really enjoyed it because of the magical device named “gamepad”. After that, however, I didn’t pick it up again for a second play session because the mouse + keyboard controls were too complicated. DOOM Eternal is a boomer shooter that came out last year and I got it earlier this year actually in a sale, I believe, really enjoyed the first two levels. Yes, I know, I know… You can’t believe I haven’t played this one yet but hey, better late than never, right? I finally played through DOOM Eternal and I enjoyed most of it actually.
