Soon everybody is growing older-every half hour-and there doesn’t seem to be any way out of the cove. Then there is the odd fact that all the children are aging rapidly. Then there is the odd fact It’s a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs.įirst there is the dead body of a woman found floating in the crystal-clear water. First there is the dead body of a woman found floating in the crystal-clear water. I’ve tried to get into the game multiple times, but the longer I play the worst it seems to get.It’s a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs. What should have been a beautiful ballet of death and carnage became a mess of poorly thought out mechanical over-complexity. The amount of sheer WORK required to play at the same efficiency as the 2016 title is an order of magnitude more. Press this other button and then kill the enemy to get armour. Press this button to glory kill to get ammo. Press this button to glory kill to get health. And the game piles on busy-work mechanics on top of this like they were on sale. The more weapons you get, the more you need to juggle. Instead of incentivising weapon diversity, the limited ammo economy punishes the player for playing the game. But, fuck me - running out of ammo on every gun every few kills is some of the worst game design I’ve ever seen.
#Eternal arena tutorial how to
The overbearing tutorial pop ups (pause my game to teach me how to fucking SHOOT!?) and horrible story introduction that’s woefully inconsistent makes the first 30 minutes a cluster fuck of an introduction. it’s huge step down from the perfected simplicity of 2016’s DOOM. Perhaps in the minority here ( it got great scores reviews ), but i just can’t understand these great reviews about it. Sure there is less ´arena ´ like fights which some were complaning ( it never bother me ), but still this game feel like a more arcade on steroids Doom game than something that feel like a real Doom game.Ģ016 Doom is still the king! Its a shame they change direction on how well the first game was made to make this mess. No, i didnt even got to the part where you need to get a grappling hook, i uninstalled this game pretty quickly. Then to ice the cake, why not throw some Spider-Man stuff in there, climbing walls, poles and making jumps. The you get some kind of gas thing you need to throw over your enemies, im not sure i understand the meaning or fun of this part. Fans of violence here will probably applaude this decision, i dont. Then again, your getting the chainsaw which is now it seem the only way to replenish your ammo, so you constantly need to use it when your out of ammo. Then you start playing, getting slammed by tutorials out of the gameplay, i found this pretty average. Its already a big down for me, well, because all shotgun sounds in Doom game sound just great, and this one doesnt. First, there is this beth account you need to sign up for the game ( turn off wifi and it bypass, not a big concern here ). So decided to wait for a cheap price grab, and well, its on gamepass. When i saw the trailer of it, i was a bit hesitant, really not digging the grapply hook part, thinking it was out of context of a Doom game. I dont know what the hell happen between the way Doom 2016 was made and Doom Eternal, but clearly Beth really delivered a stinker here.
