This game is hard for all of the wrong reasons. The enemies are bullet sponges and you are constantly put into situations where you are extremely low on ammo. This even happens on the easiest difficulty. I had several instances where I found myself backtracking just to find chainsaw fuel or another piece of ammo so that I even stood a chance because I was completely out of everything.

I got about 10 hours into the game and was faced against several large enemies with 15 bullets on one gun and 0 on the rest. I did the same strategy of backtracking until I could find any ammo to actually stand a chance against the enemies (no you cannot melee that many at once and no there was no chainsaw fuel around). I completed a challenge, which gave me some chainsaw fuel and ammo. Then the game bugged and my objective is stuck at "Retrieve your cruicible" which I already completed. The enemies that were originally chasing me will not respawn as well. I'm uninstalling this waste of time. DO NOT BUY.

Greetings,
We are sorry to hear that Doom Eternal did not live up to your expectations.

The pace of the game has definitely become faster and more chaotic, which adds to the challenge many players like of having to decide how to go about defeating a storm of different types of enemies, while keeping in mind which ones will grant additional ammo or health based on what will be needed for each combat sequence.
In terms of strategy in combat, we are pushing players to adept to making quick decisions to succeed in becoming the almighty Doom Slayer. Weapons have multiple upgrade options and your Doom Slayer has a plethora of other items he can use in battle like the ice grenades (to freeze enemies to get out of tight situations), blood punch (once its built up), and the glory kills that have been a staple to the Doom gameplay. Not all weapons work the same way for every enemy, and the combination of resource management (including keeping track of your current ammo amount) and character movement (like the double dashes to dodge enemy fire) are all at your disposal when deciding on your battle strategy.

We are always trying to improve our players' experience and would love to hear how your experience would have been better when playing Doom Eternal. We encourage you submit your ideas to our development team via a feedback ticket here: https://beth.games/39o6juz

Thank you for your review and we hope you give Doom Eternal another try.
