Doom isn’t a game I’d play.
Not because of the content or the music. Actually, I rather like the music.
The grapics are nice and I like the Doom Slayer – as a peson. He’s an apex of how actions are louder than words. There’s too much talking in the world, so I’m all for that.

It’s just that it’s a shooter.
I haven’t felt confident playing a shooter since Area 51 and Revolution X.
I don’t even like Luigi’s Haunted Mansion. Yes, I’m that bad.

But, that doesn’t mean I don’t like watching Jason play it.
I provide color commentary here and there so it’s a group activity.

This Doom is a bit different tha the first one.
Sure, the NPCs are the diseased challenged or whatever, they they all come equiped with a pair of invisible anti-gravity boots. They have no trouble jumping over a couple of skyscrapers if needed, regardless of their weight or size. They’re also insanely nimble and have exceedingly surpurb eyesight.

They’re like infernal ballet dancers.
It’s almost embarassing, especially how they dispense neon multi-colored pez health and weapons when the chain saw is applied.

— I really wanted to say that differently. Not the pez part, but how the stuff comes out of them. How colorful can I get before I’m flagged by WordPress?

The Doom Slayer, I learned in the beginning, is actually a man.
Okay. I knew it was a man, but was hoping that Samus was under that suit. Given her now infamous last game, I was seriously hoping she would be redeemed some how in a game that’s more… appropriate.

— YES, I know Nintendo and Bethesda are entirely different companies. Don’t @ me.
But, in the universe of all video games, Samus should her her own style of Doom game.

Back on track… We may not know much about D.S, but I think one of his parents is from the Spiderverse. There is — no way — he can climb walls with fingers encased in thick metal gloves carrying the weight that he does. I can’t think of an equivilent. Kratos doesn’t. Aloy doesn’t (Horizon, Zero Dawn). They can do some physically amazing Ninja Warrior type physical feats, but they’re not carrying three or four hundred pounds of metal armor plus various weapons.

Sssoooo…. meh-ish.
Again, good music. Good graphics. It’s a little cheeky here and there with the news reporter.
Lots of prettly colors splashing acrossing the scren most of the time. The backgrounds keep the kiting visually appealing.

But, game play?
Too frustrating for me.
