Rip and Tear until it is done I have 50 hours in the steam version and another 100 hours in Doom Eternal and the GOG Version of Doom still rocks. The boomer shooter revival with Doom 2016 was one of the best things in recent gaming and I've purchased the GOG version to support the developer. If you've never played Doom and like fast, demanding fps games this buy is a no brainer.
Arguably one of the best combat systems of any RPG I've played. Is is very dynamic, responsive and customizable. The game director of this game is known for his work in Devil May Cry. The combat system shares some similarities with Monster Hunter another IP from Capcom. You will fight big mythological creatures and can climb on their body. Unlike Dragons Dogma 2 this game is completely microtransaction free, but it seems they shut down the servers for this game, because I can't acces the online features. But the game still works in offline mod just fine.
Intuitive combat system, deep lore and world building, intriguing story with philosophical themes. I can recommend mortismal's review on YouTube for a deeper analysis of the aforementioned points
Character writing and story telling belong to the best the gaming industry has to offer. Player's choice and engagement are unmatched. The game uses a deeply customizable class-based system for character creation. The chosen class affects gameplay, dialog options and ways to interact with the environment. NPC's react to the player in a meaningful way. The player can act freely in almost every situation and has to bear the consequences themselves. You truly feel like the protagonist in the game who carves their own story. The combat system is turn-based and very tactical. The combat system uses the DnD 5e rules set. If you are not familiar with DnD the combat system can take some time to get used to. Some encounters can be challenging and the game has some difficulty spikes, but the game 's diffculty can be adjusted in the options menu at any given time. The game is massive in content. It took me roughly a hundred hours for my first playthrough, although I missed large junks of content like the full underdark area in the first act of the game. The game is alos quite dense. Many quests, side activities, areas, items and other stuff to remember. So the game demands some engagement from the player and it can be hard to find back into the game when laid off for more than two weeks. So I can only recommend it for players who can commit the time. This is not the game for some non-commital 15 minutes sessions every now and then. But if you can commit to it, the game offers one of the best experiences in gaming at the moment
