There's a Satan in the building
While Wolfenstein 3d was the first FPS, DOOM cemented the FPS into the gaming landscape. Before FPSs were called FPSs, they were called DOOM clones. Then, on September 11th, 2001, idk I guess some stuff happened that day, but more importantly two months later Halo: Combat Evolved released, and the gaming landscape was changed once again. To the viewpoint of many, however, combat was not evolving, but rather devolving. We went from a wide selection of weapons in any given moment to just two at a time. Health, once a vital resource, now regenerates automatically given a short period of time. The quick movement enabled by mouse and keyboard became slower to compensate for the dual analog sticks of controllers. The FPS, once a staple of PC gaming, had to be changed to get it onto consoles. Granted, many of these changes did make for an enjoyable experience for console gamers (hell, I'll still put the Halo 2 battlerifle on my list of best video game weapons of all time), but the PC centric FPS began to fade. Luckily, the PC FPS was not lost to time completely. Like a lich rising from the dead, DOOM 2016 returned more powerful than ever before. Quick, responsive movement, a full array of weapons all a single button press away, and health packs. Guess where those health packs are! They're inside the demons. You want health? You have to go get it. Okay also, brief aside about the glory kills. I know this is one aspect of DOOM & DOOM Eternal that some people don't like. Personally, I love the glory kills. Here's the thing though, many people think the glory kills break the flow of combat, which is why they dislike them, and to an extent I actually agree. That is why of the optional upgrades you have to choose from, every single time I play this game, I always choose the one that speeds up the glory kill animation. I genuinely think this upgrade is invaluable to the experience of the game. I'm almost at my character limit, so to wrap all this up, 100% recommend DOOM.
