Together, they faced the forces of hell, before realizing the infinite potential that Argent Energy contained. The overall narrative concerns the Makyrs, a race of angel-like beings who joined forces with another race known as the Sentinels long before Doom Eternal begins. Instead of following well-tread, familiar narrative angles, it attempts to do what is very much its own thing. One could assume Eternal was going to mirror Doom II. The game continues the story arc, with Earth having been invaded by the demons. Hell on Earthĭoom had a similar story to the original game with demons on Mars, whereas Doom Eternal naturally uses Doom II: Hell on Earth as its inspiration - but with a twist. And it works spectacularly, all the while succeeding in one-upping the last game in practically every way. The game is ridiculously overblown, cartoony and staggeringly preposterous. Yes, it’s still very reminiscent of a DMC-style spectacle brawler with more guns, but it’s even more like it than before. While Doom 2016 didn’t quite do it for me, Doom Eternal works because it fully leans into what differentiated its predecessor. However, in this case, that’s far from a bad thing. With Doom Eternal, I was partially hoping that we’d see some level design more reminiscent of the originals as opposed to over-the-top arena action. But it never felt like an actual followup to the original games to me, and instead felt more like an FPS Devil May Cry. When Doom 2016 came out, I was a bit underwhelmed.
