While I love Doom (2016) to death, unfortunately, Doom Eternal gutted major parts of its predecessor and replaced them with somewhat unsatisfying quick-swap gunplay that is not optional in the slightest. Instead of picking favorite weapons and using them for the majority of your playthrough, you are forced to use everything at your disposal in the most efficient way possible, turning what would be a power fantasy shooter into more like a puzzle game with guns. Furthermore, the story leaves a lot to be desired.
