There’s no way the combat sections in this were made by the same team that made the base game. It’s not clever or rewardingly challenging, it’s just tons and tons of enemies being constantly thrown at you in spaces too small to properly move around in. There’s no consideration for combinations of enemies and which weapons and ammo needed to properly deal with them. With how spectacular the combat is in the base game, id should be embarrassed after releasing this. It feels like something I’d make as a 14 year old with mapping tools. It’s not properly challenging, it’s cheap and frustrating. That said, the art and environments are spectacular and the lore is.... okay? The story is becoming more and more incoherent and convoluted. It seems like the writers have all these ideas that aren’t working well together. They’ve created a bunch of plot holes and questions with no answers, which is a bummer. I love the story in the DOOM games. But honestly, the combat in this expansion is a disaster, and the pacing is a total mess. It makes me sad.
