The Ancient Gods - Part Two is a fairly satisfying and enjoyable conclusion to DOOM Eternal, even if it’s still just more of the same. I seem to be in the minority— wherein most people preferred part one, I actually think part two does a lot better— more consistently. The levels don’t drop off in quality after the first one, the enemies fit into the flow of combat a lot better, and I liked the inclusion of the hammer; although it does decrease the difficulty by quite a bit.
All of the new environments are gorgeous, even if they don’t live up to the first level of part one; but I was expecting that to be the case so it’s not that big of a deal. Reclaimed Earth was especially creative and fun, I like the lush green look of it all; and it’s cool how it’s comprised of skyscrapers, alleyways, and other city-esque stuff. I just found it really fun.
The third level had the spectacle down— with an all-out war happening in the background, but failed with the complexity of the layout. It’s pretty much just a straight pathway down to the finish line, which makes it bland and boring to progress through. The boss fight at the end isn’t horrible by any means, but it definitely goes on for way too long with little to no change in approach for each phase… and there’s five of them! The cutscenes throughout the DLC go fucking hard though…

Epic, but you might want to lower the difficulty from what you were playing. (At the time) <10% have completed this on Steam....wow
Slightly better than the Ancient Gods Part 1, but still has a lot of the same issues
Just has a neat battle scene

Much better than the Part 1 counterpart. Loved the massive war final level, boss and story were a lil bleh.
Pior que a primeira. É mais fácil, os inimigos novos são bem qualquer coisa e a final boss é decepcionante.
Porém possui talvez a melhor cena da franquia (início da Immora) e também o martelo é pika demais.

The base game is fun but both of these DLCs have some of the most rancid gamefeel I've ever experienced in an FPS. The World Spear Master Level, however, owns
Had to check what day it was because of how long the final boss took.
Not as good as part one, but still super duper awesome. Doom Eternal is so fucking good it's insane.
The new stuff in this DLC just wasn't as good as the new stuff in the first DLC. The hammer and grapple is cool and the levels are fun but all the new enemies are more annoying. I could deal with the spirit from Part One, but the Cursed Prowler is so goofy. The armored baron and stone imp are just annoying. The final boss is actually horrible I can't believe how bad it is.

A bittersweet end of the Doom Slayer saga!
After the surprise success of DOOM 2016, id Software has reached new heights with DOOM Eternal and raised even more the bar with The Ancient Gods Part I. It was only natural for The Ancient Gods Part II to not be as good as the other content.
I have beaten the main campaign, TAG I and Super Gore Nest master level on ultra-nightmare difficulty but tried to keep my expectations low. Yet, I'm still kind of disappointed.
The Ancient Gods Part II brings even more great lore to the DOOM universe and ends the Doom Slayer saga with a bang. The new arenas and locations are creative and look gorgeous. All the new demons are fun to fight and do change the flow of the battles.
However, everything else is a big step down from TAG I. To begin with, everything exciting about the DLC was leaked a week before the release so there were no big surprises. The arenas are a lot easier than TAG I and the Sentinel hammer smashes the balance in certain fights. Now even game journalists will manage to beat the double Marauders. The final boss is not that hard as it's annoying, cheap and not exciting to fight. You can easily cheese him too. And because of the drop in difficulty - the whole TAG II campaign feels significantly shorter. They even made easier some of the arenas in TAG I - why? There is also a problem with the audio mixing ever since TAG I. To hear the soundtrack, I had to wait for Koma to upload his game rips to YouTube.
It might sound as if I hate TAG II but that's not the case. It's still good, and it's worth getting it, but it's just not as good as other content. Despite the ongoing pandemic, id Software fulfilled its promises and released 2 DLCs before the 1st anniversary. I'm sure they had bigger plans but working from home doesn't help.

That dark lord fight was bad
So many mixed feelings...
In terms of gameplay, I had way more fun with Part 2. The encounters feel challenging but fun, and not masochistic like Part 1. Instead of just spamming spirit-buffed hell knights every encounter, now you have the addition of some new demons that add difficulty by making you aim well, think or pay attention to them. In general, this feels way more balanced and fun.
Now for the bad, why is this so short? I was enjoying it so much, and then it just ends. Part 2 is more or less one hour shorter than Part 1, and I wish that was flipped. Part 1 felt too slow and long, and Part 2 too fast and short 😑. Also, the final boss, considering that it is the "final" fight of Doom as a whole, feels waaay too underwhelming.
So yeah, really disappointing DLCs in general, specially because I love the base game so much.
I actually had one more complaint, but it's kinda spoilery, so I'll just say that I fucking hate marvel movies.
★★½ – Average ✅
