It’s one of those latent trends where it’s not a “bad” game fundamentally, but rather it feels kinda soulless, and not really like doom as it was originally intended.
It’s fine if you catch it on sale, IMO, but don’t expect exploration, puzzle solving or labryinth stuff.
This was my big problem with Doom TDA. Felt like I was being led around like a lost child. Even secrets were like, obviously there and had paths leading to them. The combat was fine, if not a little tedious with the patented “shield doesn’t take damage” enemies. Felt like a slog, honestly.
Live and let die I guess. This is an interesting case of what people’s bubbles look like. I saw the thing on Netflix, don’t think much of it, but I’m not in spaces where people think about this enough to put it in my face. Sorry that’s not the case for you, I’m sure it’s annoying, but I haven’t seen it much, or I scroll past it I guess.
Lot of companies need to go on trial like this.
