I'm more and more convinced that Doom 2016 was the peak. Eternal had that one song that kicked ass but that was mostly it.

Doom 2 was the peak. 2016 was a strong reimagining of Doom 3, but it was already trying to be something Doom wasn't.

I disagree. Doom 3 was trying to be constant darkness and horror. Never forget the lack of duct tape. Doom 2016 was a strong sequel to 2 with its wide open spaces and fast-paced action.

I don't want to feel like I'm being hunted by scary monsters. I want to be the monster.
