I recently played Doom: The Dark Ages and I liked the base campaign but it was far from Eternal level. The DLC on the other hand was really good and has the 2nd best gameplay in the entire series. The base campaign then grew on me more when I did a 2nd playthrough putting almost all the difficulty sliders to their hardest position including making the game speed 50% faster. That makes thinks way more hectic and really forces you to get good at using the Shield. I'm in the middle of a 2nd run of the DLC with those same settings though that was getting so brutally hard I took a break.

Overall I think it's a pretty strong entry though the story in the base campaign being weak and the dragon segments being a bit annoying dragged things down some. I hope id Software getting impacted by mass layoffs doesn't hurt the next Doom game too much since the current NuDoom trilogy is one of the best FPS experiences out there with Eternal in particular being a 10/10 masterpiece in terms of gameplay.

Appreciate hearing your guys’ input on these games. Those two have been on my radar for a quite while. I’m holding off on Halo until I have played the OG (that or the remake goes on deep sale maybe), and Doom…well…IDK if I can stomach shooting demons in Hell. Oof! I’m sensitive to violent themes.

The modern Doom trilogy and Halo sound like must-plays from all that I’ve heard about them though. Maybe one day…

You could start with the original Doom from 1993 and see how that goes since that old school pixelated violence is nothing compared to modern games. Classic Doom is also a great time.
