HardcoreGamer Mar 23, 2020
At one point in Doom Eternal, we’re told that “The Only Thing They Fear is You,” which is a bold statement to make. id Software, however, gives players the tools to instill that fear in all adversaries the Doom Slayer faces. The game builds on the solid foundation of its predecessor by taking what made it great (the fast and adrenaline-fueled gunplay, the excellent weapons, the enemy variety, etc.)...
