Even with a cool cliffhanger the storytelling is still weak.įormats: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Xbox One, PC, and Stadia Great sound and visuals, and even with the higher difficulty the game never feels unfair.Ĭons: All the same faults as the original, with frustrating platforming sections and strange pacing. Pros: Some of the best first person combat of the generation, with a (very) few new twists. In Short: Like most DLC it doesn’t introduce much in the way of new ideas but if you enjoyed Doom Eternal you’re going to love these new levels and their uncompromising challenge. Strategically picking your targets is an absolute must, since depending on how you kill them you’re able to restock ammo, health, and fuel, which adds several layers of tactics and forward-planning to what almost feels like a rhythm action game in first person shooter form. And while it is punishingly difficult, we have to admit we like it that way, especially as that removes any last chance of you just lucking your way through a fight.

Raising the combat difficulty seems perfectly legitimate given only existing fans are going to buy this. And just like the rest of the DLC it’s harder than ever. We know we’re not the only ones that found the platforming sections a chore and while we appreciate that the game needs some kind of palette cleanser between battles the DLC has, if anything, even more platforming than before. In general, we’re fine with that approach but we do hate it when DLC ignores opportunities to address problems with the original.

It can only be killed by the plasma rifle’s microwave beam, but don’t worry about not having that particular mod as you start the DLC with all the weapons and upgrades, whether you’ve beaten the main game or not.ĭoom Eternal The Ancient Gods: Part One – the final level has some great visuals (pic: Bethesda) Most of the new designs in The Ancient Gods are limited to the boss battles but there are a few new variations, including a new version of the Summoner that can possess other demons and nullify their weak points. Plus, all the bits where the Doom Slayer is interacting with ordinary humans, who are absolutely terrified of him, is even more fun than the main game, to the point where it becomes almost a parody of Halo and Master Chief (which is perfectly fine given his design was a riff on the original Doom anyway).īut while the plot might not be very gripping the creature designs are spot on, as if they’ve all just emerged from the cover of an ‘80s heavy metal album. To be fair, part one of The Ancient Gods does end on a great cliffhanger and you get to fight a shark, so there’s some good stuff in there. Either extreme would have been fine but as it is the storytelling isn’t interesting enough to care about and while there are a few wry laughs to be had they’re few and far between. Bethesda are clearly leery about having too much Christian mythology in the game – they reuse some names but that’s about it – and we can kind of understand that but the game is caught awkwardly between taking its setting seriously and fully embracing the campy silliness of it all.
