Doom Eternal

I'm yet to play it still. There's such a fine line between getting oldschool into newschool that many games just don't deliver despite being so close. For me 2016 was a 9/10, i replayed it many times.
 
Metal: Hellsinger.

It’s a rhythm shooter set to a heavy metal sound track. Normally I have no interest in anything rhythm-based, but this had me captivated from beginning to end, and actually made me strive to her high in the score boards.

I finally got through to the end and did the final boss, after almost three years. The game does improve - the first two or three levels are slow but once you unlock the ballista, chaingun, double barreled shotty and some upgrades the fun really moves up a notch.

Having said that - I do still prefer Doom 2016. I still don't like the chainsaw mechanic. Grenades are a complete waste of time. Way way way too many upgrade trees for various things. And the marauder was just a complete let-down given how hard he was hyped. The gladiator and maykr fights were ok but the icon of sin was a mess, it's just a messy survival fight, trying to figure out which part is still alive whilst you're being assaulted with colours from everywhere.

I'm not sure I have any inkling to replay it or bother collecting things, which is a shame as I still drop into 2016 from time to time.

I'm wavering around a 6/10, whilst i'd consider 2016 an 8/10.

But, at least I got it done!

I admire your persistence!! :)
 
Finally got around to playing this yesterday, had it for a while but was on Xbox app (freebie from Prime) so I'd forgot about it tbh, think I'm over half way through now and honestly surprised with how well it holds up looks wise and to see a game this optimized is a pleasant change. Soundtrack is good but it's not hitting as hard for me as the original one did.

Had to swap the suit back to the standard one though as it really pulls you out of the campaign cut scenes when your a unicorn.

The next instalment is out soon, so good timing if you're looking for more of the same ;)
 
Same, I didn't finish the last one, but not for not enjoying it. Just got stuck, stubbornly at a too hard difficulty. Would take me too long to get the muscle memory back to be quick enough to handle it all if I hadn't played for a while.

Want to finish it before Dark Ages comes out...
 
I started both DLCs with the impending release of Dark Ages, and for a while was too stubborn to drop the difficulty. In the end I just stuck it on easy to whip through it and get it done. Less "I'm too young to die" and more "I'm too old not to". :D

I think it was the second DLC, final boss sequence that had me nearly chucking my rig out of the window - so frustrating... I was even questioning my game playing future at one stage :D
