Overall the game is full of solid mechanics with good feedback, has a satisfying flow when you understand the systems and every action feels heavy and powerful.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
145 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
First of all, the game appeals to a more general audience this time, its kind of easier, you have many more options with the ammo in the weapons, and the tactical, strategic gameplay where you approached every enemy differently in Eternal is gone here.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I believe that DOOM 2016's approach to story was perfect for the franchise.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a very good looking game but I feel it's perhaps a touch early for idTech to have gone to ray tracing without a fallback.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
