Simultaneously better (neat ideas, powerups and new enemies are cool and fun) and worse (overlong runtime, repeated levels, pretentious narrative) than its predecessor. I'm currently waiting for 2.5 hours for the real ending since it's doing a fake download thing of "recovering data". That was originally 8 hours I've heard lmfaooooo get off your ass Superhot devs come on

It's good! It's good! I like it and it's good. In terms of inferior and messy sequels, it is notably better than Doom II. I played on ultra violence and I honestly wish the difficulty was more consistent than it was, and the second half is occasionally bloated. It's still Doom, it's still fun, I liked it and I recommend it, if not for its gorgeous visuals and cool gunplay. But I enjoyed Doom 2016 much more.

The writing is often moronic, cliche, and surface-level to the point of amusement (android holocaust metaphor lmao), but its mere multiple-choice narrative structure made for an occasionally diverting/interesting gaming experience, just for the fact that some choices you make leave a big impact. A meek nod to Cage for being nice enough to spend considerable effort thinking through those mildly-challenging choices.
The 2018 PS4 mo-cap graphics already feel dated and uncanny, but the soundtrack is at least decent. Brooding and futuristic, but not showy.
I can't decide between a 4 or 5/10 right now. No rating!!!! Fuck you! :D

A thoroughly interesting and melancholic game with a super expressive artstyle - yet the epilogue didn't hit the same note as the first half did to me. It's weird reviewing someone's traumatic life experience like this - specifically from a cis man - but I didn't feel as much for the aftermath due to a lot of the dialogue putting the blame on self for the incident, when it clearly wasn't. As a result it came across as a bit self-absorbed.
I really hope that didn't come across as insensitive, though. Stories like this are never inessential. I hope the girl that made this is doing better. Try it if you like.
