Have to say I'm not a huge fan of platforming in a doom game. It just doesn't really sit right. It doesn't ruin the game, but I'd rather it wasn't there.

Same here the platforming is not doing it for me, the fluidity of 2016 has gone, I will persevere with it but for me it's nowhere near as enjoyable.

It's quake champions 2.
Not a doom game.

Same as Rage 2, did not look/feel like previous game.

Also, far too many attachments and suit attachments things. It's a button fest.
If it were me I would open the levels way up and have doom guy run faster like classic doom, and have hit scan enemies. Basically make it doom again!

Really enjoying this but the platforming.... i thought those days were gone! 
Yeah ditto. I heard it's cheaper on the Bethesda store but...that means installing yet another launcher.

Anyone else noticed the map is barely visible with HDR on? It's useless.

They need to leave platforming to mario. Seriously, if I want a platform game, I'll buy one.
I bought this wanting a doom game.

Giving it a miss based on what I've seen online. The last one I really enjoyed as well.

I'm about 75% complete.
Problem is it's quite frustrating and unforgiving to play in comparison to DOOM 2016.
I think an lot of people will give up quickly because they keep dying over and over.
The platforming is another thing of frustration, until you get use to it.
I don't like how it does not auto grab on a normal jump or double jump towards an wall, yet it does on dashing.
The equipment launcher, flame belch, freeze bomb and retracting blade glory kills are awesome.
And the The Fortress of Doom in orbit above the earth is really cool to.
But I think 2016 has better pacing and overall level design.
So I'd probably give Eternal an 80% score.
It has moved forward and progressed in some areas, but has gone backwards in others.

You slip up like this and there goes your initial 2 or 3 weeks of launch sales.
(I noticed it did download an update via Bethesda last night).
But it's already doing the rounds on BT sites.
Pretty much my thoughts on it.
Maybe due to not having played Doom 2016 for ages, but at first I really struggled, however, as time went on I started to enjoy it more.
With more ammo now after a few hours in, I'd say to anyone interested, stick with it for a bit longer. I'm also not a huge fan of the platforming but I don't mind it that much.
So, on one hand, a step forward for me, and on the other, a regression.
Yep, same situation as Rage 2.
Wow I thought i'd get eaten alive for saying that Doom 2016 is better but there actually seems to be more people in agreement in this thread than disagreement.
I ended up getting about five to six hours in and then ditching it for Black Mesa, which i'm having a lot more fun with. I just don't like this ammo system, it's not what Doom stands for and I never wanted an extra twenty thousand button binds either. Just give me a gun, glory kills and the hordes of hell and let me do it the way I want to do it.
I may come back to it in the future but for now i'll just play 2016 for my fix. Personally i'm giving Eternal a 6/10. I can see the appeal but it's just not for me. Of course, i'd have liked to know this before shelling out on the Steam version but I don't watch Dev interviews so there you go.

Black Mesa is awesome. 
Probably my game of the year (so far).
Going to give the Resident Evil 3 Remake a go next.
@arc@css - Yeah feel pretty much the same.
Like you said it does get easier as you get suit and weapon upgrades and more familiar with the mechanics of the game play.
