Sometimes the best changes that can be served in an aged series are no major changes. Doom is a great example here - to this very day, the third installment of the series, which turned the assumptions of the game upside down, is remembered as an accident. Meanwhile, all that the restart of the series did in 2016 to win the hearts of the players was to spice up the classic formula and smooth it out here and there, so that it wouldn't be archaic. That was enough to get Doom back in charge.
Doom Eternal hasn't changed the successful formula either - it's an old-fashioned FPS that focuses on action, brutality, dynamics and flawlessness. Fighting demonic hordes takes the form of a bloody dance that takes place in the rhythm of truly hellish music. What was so delightful in the previous game has been further refined and improved here.
Although not all of the novelties introduced in this version have found their fans (many people would probably bid farewell to the platform sections with no hesitation), the new multiplayer modes have made the gameplay interestingly varied, and provided players with their own private fortresses, full of easter eggs, which made for a nice tribute to the most faithful fans. Doom. Doom. Doom. Hear that? The hordes from hell call for another dance of death.
