That asks players to use a special melee attack when an enemy is on its last legs. In addition to returning monsters, the brutal "glory kill" mechanic still dominates. Indeed, id Software returns to the idTech 7 rendering engine for this high-speed, 60fps combat frenzy (er, technically, our demo PC kiosks used variable refresh monitors that roared into 90fps-and-above territory). DOOM Eternal sits in that category, so much so that a peek at its supercharged screenshots might elicit a mix of "ooh, crazy demons" and "uh, haven't we seen this before?" Advertisement I mention those specific sequels because they each returned to unsurprising gameplay mechanics and art styles, only polished like crazy and met with a zillion new features that all somehow fit. And yet I am struck by how pristinely iterative this game feels-a perfect execution of the cheesy poster quote, "If you liked DOOM 2016, you'll love DOOM Eternal." By carrying familiar elements forward and then supercharging them with compelling twists, DOOM Eternal (launching November 22 on Windows 10, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Google Stadia) could very well rank alongside past elite sequels like Super Mario Bros. That's not my normal way I'm a gaming curmudgeon, to put it lightly. Further Reading Doom (2016) single-player review: Back to basics
