I was hyped for this game and stayed away from spoilers. It’s so flat. Literally and gameplay wise. It’s gears of war doom. The animations are mediocre. The level design is horrible coming to the previous two. Combat is a slog. The soundtrack is such slop I have my headphones on listening to Eternals soundtrack while playing. Seriously this game could have been a 6.5/10 of it was released on the Xbox 360. The mechanics are better done in Metal:Hellsinger. I’m so disappointed but happy I didn’t waste 80 bucks on this.

Oh also, 720p upscaled on Xbox Series S.

Just got to the dragon part. I’m done. Literally no of this makes sense. It’s not even cohesive. Reddit is either bots or are shills for pushing this game. This is fucking rough bud. At least 2016 and Eternal made the slayer grounded in his reality. The robot fist fighting was fucking stupid but I’m not even entertaining this dragon shit. Holy shit people spent 80$ on this lmao. I just cancelled gamepass and uninstalled. I could’ve been sleeping instead of trying this game out.

    You kinda sound like you want to hate this game. That’s all well and good but I’m not sure why you came to a community to just be negative. I hope you can still have fun replaying 2016 and Eternal. I know I do

      Okay, I went back and tried again after the dragon levels. And I got into it. Really got into it. I like this game a lot. It’s got Eternal vibes. I do miss glory kills and the B button dash. But other than that, this is fine.

        Hell yeah. Same here actually. The final quarter of the game gets absolutely nuts but I’m totally loving it. I’ve got 2 or 3 chapters left and I can’t believe how cool this turned out

          Yep! I’m almost exactly half way. Just finished chapter 11. I think anyone who’s missing the hook on this game has to get past the first dragon sequence which honestly isn’t that bad just dull.

          I’m playing on Ultra Violence and I’m feeling like I might be dying at least once a level. It’s a good setting with the default sliders. But I’m kinda still playing like it’s Doom Eternal.

      I needed somewhere to vent because I’m disappointed. I didn’t want to hate the game. I don’t really have any other outlets to talk about it. I don’t use reddit with an account. I’ll try again once the game is cheaper.
