Millions of people are going into Doom Eternal expecting something great. Don’t forget that expectations for Doom were relatively low following a disappointing multiplayer beta and fears over whether or not the franchise still had “it.” It turned out that 2016’s Doom was one of the best games of that year and, much more importantly, offered one of the most refreshing FPS campaigns in recent memory by blending the old with the new.
The second, much more important reason is that I don’t want the idea that you suck at Doom Eternal to somehow scare you away from one of the best games of 2020 and one of the most surprising games since the release of 2016’s Doom. This first is that I sucked at Doom Eternal, so I’m speaking from experience and, to be honest, looking for company. There are two reasons I’m telling you this. It doesn’t matter how good you’ve been at the Doom franchise up to this point. It doesn’t matter what level difficulty you choose or how good you were at 2016’s Doom.
