If you like this Doom, you will most likely have fun with Eternal too. Which one is the better game, depends on your personal taste and preferences.

ok thanks for the info, what is the difference, more modern graphics ? Or is there a difference in gameplay?

Better graphics (Eternal uses Raytracing und DLSS) and the game is a little bit faster.

Thanks a lot for the info that was very usefull, definitely going to buy Eternal.

I'm in the camp that finds Doom Eternal to be hot garbage. They turned it from a creepy demon slayer game with iconic maps to a puzzler, kill for resources game mini game.

If you liked 2016 then you'll love eternal, it takes everything great about 2016 & makes it better.

Have to agree with senate , while its ok in my opinion i don't like all the special kills for ammo and armor , takes away of my fun mindless killing .

Unfortunately have to agree with senate and wotan. I was really hoping Eternal would just be the exact same game with new missions if not any improvements to gameplay. However sadly missions, guns, abilities, and enemies just don't hit the same. Absolutely loved 2016. Masterpiece. Eternal was a huge letdown though.

Happy for and jealous of those who found enjoyment in it, but I just couldn't get into it.

If you go in expecting a classical shooty-shooty-bang-bang DOOM experience, you might be disappointed to find it too difficult/complicated.

But if you go in expecting a fun combat puzzle inspired by DOOM 2016, you'll probably love Eternal.

There's no way you came to this idea on your own. Quit quoting what people tell you on these forums. There's nothing difficult about killing this and that and picking up your ammo/health drops. I have over 3k hours in Dota 2 I can juggle multiple ideas while clicking fast.

Eternal has TOO MUCH platforming sections. Although they can be entertaining for the first couple of times - after that you just get annoyed pretty quickly. I'm playing a DOOM game, i want to annihilate demons as much as possible, but frequent platforming sections just taking that away from me, thus ruining the flow of the game.

Funny enough, every time i play 2016 - im thinking about the eternal, just because i miss the dash. But every time i play eternal - im thinking about 2016, just because i miss the ENTIRE GAME

The Dark Ages might turn out to cure this dilemma.

Dunno, have to disagree.

Eternal doesnt really have that much mandatory platforming
(which is good cause i utterly suck at platforming)

Other than a few spots where you have to use it to move from A to B, i don't play eternal any different than i do 2016

Excuse my ignorance (I too just returned to gaming after many years), but what is "platforming" in a game like Eternal mean?
