it’s a damn good game. lots of fun to be had. i think, however, they took a huge misstep on the fact that most levels aren’t backtrackable whatsoever. and that’s kind of a sin in the boomer shooter, even adjacent type of game. it is more egregious in this game given that ore is currency… and you’ll just get locked out of them and you’ll have to redo the entire level. now, that said, the levels aren’t hard at all. i played on ultra hard and died maybe 4 times total. so this isn’t a horrific thing given how short the levels are, but it is still extremely annoying if you don’t play with a secrets guide, you are CONSTANTLY going to miss secrets. i think to circumvent that, an automap should be given before a levels “cutoff point”. some levels you get them very late. or, you could go the whole way, and make areas either have new terrain that allows you to get back, or a teleporter. if it locks you in an arena for a fight, that’s cool, love it. but once the arena is done with, let the player get back. it is damn near a cardinal sin and i can count the amount of fully backtrackable levels on one hand. another complaint albeit weird i have is the arsenal. it is too good. it removes all difficulty from the game. it is basically entirely useful and aside from the shredders i used everything and they’re all very capable. to a fault, even. once you get the swarmer, and a bit later the mammonth, those two will legitimately be your solve for essentially every arena, hallway, you name it. i like them a lot, so i wouldn’t nerf their power, but i think the swarmer taking two rockets per pod, or the mammonth having less shots per reload is a good start, maybe make it so the alt fire lets you spam as much as you want but is forced reload after. it’s not a total detriment, and having an amazing arsenal is never bad, but the game is ridiculously easy, the only time you really sweat on ultra hard is in the first portal. but past that? it becomes a cakewalk again. it’s weird sequencing that makes it so there’s a big difficulty spike that almost immediately crashes after. it is a power fantasy game, of course, so a lot of people will see this as a boon rather than a bane, and i don’t blame you. perhaps just the boom shoot uber nerd in me craving difficulty. also, the guns using a magazine system but not having a reserve is weird. example, grenade launcher is fully loaded, dump all your rockets with your swarmer, switch to grenade launcher. grenade launcher is now empty. i definitely don’t like that and it is counter intuitive although, yes, it would bump your reserves by a tiny little bit, most notably for plasma and rockets, but i don’t personally think it would be a huge issue. the shop is fun, ore collecting is fun, the trials were especially fun, and the levels as a whole were really great, and a huge spectacle. maybe needs a bit more color for the most part, kinda buff out the edges yknow? it’s almost a jumpscare going to a really colorful level after going through very similar color levels. a lot of fun for what it is, a boom shoot with tiny little levels, and an average of 180ish enemies per, you can blitz through this one, i got the 100% at 9.6 hours. the enemies are engaging, but most are just really simple and won’t challenge you, there are a couple that are very tricky however and can easily catch you off guard. overall nothing else to say, great music, great aesthetic, fun gameplay + collecting element, guns feel real punchy with a lot of oomph, and the levels are mostly fantastic. would definitely recommend (get the trepang2 bundle while you’re at it! trepang2 is so unbelievably good), and i cant wait for the dlc.

Recomendo o jogo, não espere um final incrível, mas jogar isso em coop é muito bacana, zerado em aproximadamente 6:30h a 7:00 de gameplay, jogando em COOP, jogar as fases feitas pela comunidade acrescenta muito no fator replay. Nota 08/10

玩起來和Doom2016很像，但再更單純些；打擊感與classic Doom的brutal mod很像，噴血噴到爆。 難度一般，爽度很高，還有一些自製地圖可玩，是很不錯的boomer shooter game。

Está bien la verdad, pero es como jugar a un quien es quien 100 veces seguidas, o un buscaminas 100 veces, o 100 veces andar por el mismo barrio, o comprar el mismo periodico del día 100 veces o como escribir la misma frase 100 veces cuando te castigaban en el cole, o cuando te pasas un juego 100 veces, o como ver el mismo cuadro 100 veces, lo he visto casi todo igual unas 100 veces, pero ta guay eeh yo critico pero ta chuli, así que lo diré unas 100 veces: ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo, ta chulo... a ver no hace falta que lo cuentes leñe, fíate de mi... uff.

I have played this more than my hours on record through game pass and I really enjoyed this game. Music is great. Graphics are good too. Fun blowing stuff up. It just a fun game to play.

This is the Doom 3 we never got!!
