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…
