Doom Eternal is a potential Game of the Year contender
After a stupendous 2016 reboot, Doom Eternal takes everything its predecessor did well and cranks it up to 11. A heavy metal album cover that’s come to life, the game represents the culmination of first-person shooters this console generation.
Kicking off after the forces of Hell have spread from the first game’s Martian research base and begun to take hold of Earth and other planets, Doom Eternal layers a surprising amount of meat on the narrative bones of the previous title. While much of this is done through environmental storytelling, there are more cutscenes this time around.
Most importantly, the expanded scope of Doom Eternal allows for less of the sterile interiors and bright orange hellscapes that formed much of the first game’s campaign. That’s not to say they aren’t here, but the variety afforded by visiting other planets allows for the occasional greenery, huge structures, and some beautiful skyboxes.
