Doom (2016) just launched on GOG, and it’s on offer. I purchased straight away as I really enjoyed this one. Wasn’t expecting to see more Bethesda games on GOG after Microsoft purchases Zenimax.

    Agreed about the story. What I didn’t like in DE was the transparently arbitrary gameplay loop. You can’t punch enemies to death anymore, and your flamethrower instead of doing damage causes… items to appear. All are obviously in service of a gameplay loop, but they are terribly contrived. I wouldn’t say I go into Doom for immersion, but c’mon.

      How is Doom 2016 better in that regard? Just because the options aren’t there?

      You can also still play Doom Eternal like the 2016 version. It’s gonna be harder, but I basically did in my first playthrough.

        It’s been a while since I’ve played it, but as I recall, melee combat worked very differently and much more intuitively in 2016. It’s always there in case you run out of ammo.
