DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part One

Absolutely atrocious This DLC ups the difficulty significantly, which by itself is not a bad thing, but part of the way it does it is by upping the quantity and the convolution of the platforming, as well as adding poorly designed bosses. The story is interesting (even if it doesn't feel like Doom that much) and the new environments are cool, but that doesn't negate how awful the levels feel at times.

If you're even remotely familiar with the combat loop of eternal and have finished the campaign on nightmare this DLC will not give you any challenge, the added "difficulty" to the DLC are just half baked ideas slapped onto the existing gameplay and extra demons added in. A total of four new enemies are added into this, and three of them aren't actual "enemies". -The spirit just posesses demons to make them faster turn into bullet sponges, killing the actual spirit slows down combat drastically when you're stuck there cosplaying as a ghostbuster with the microwave beam to kill it. -The turrets quite literally do nothing, they die extremely quickly and pose no threat. -Giant tentacle, thats it. Dies in like 4 hits and shows up twice. -The blood maykr is the only ACTUAL enemy that was added to this DLC, and its just the marauder if he died in one hit and did barely any damage. Does a major attack that flashes a light, you headshot it and it instantly dies. It seems that the approac...

How bad can the worst part of a great game be? Download Doom Eternal: the Ancient Gods Part 1 to find out. This DLC attempts to add to Doom Eternal by making everything longer and higher stakes. Be prepared to fight for fifteen minutes straight, die, and start over from zero. Then be prepared to do that again, and again, and again. This DLC has only one trick--marathon fights with no save checkpoints anywhere in them--and despite it not being a very good one, never gets tired of using it. I'd recommend turning the difficulty all the way down just to get through it. Or better yet, watch a plot summary on YouTube. Part 2 is worth it.

essentially. Even more DOOM eternal but with beautiful and massive areas with some insanely difficult levels caulk full of enemies. it can get annoying at points but its overall really cool!

Congrats, ID. You've found the line that separates "challenging but rewarding" and "hair-pullingly annoying and unfair", and you've stepped right over it. **** this DLC.

Easily some of the best levels in the whole game. This DLC is brutal for sure, but every part of it is super well put together (minus the story; it really starts to go off the rails at this point) and I've probably replayed these three levels far more than any of the others. Worth the price for sure if you enjoyed the base game.

Its a very short DLC and the demons don't give you a lot of breathing room. Other then that its Great

Garbage DLC, so difficult and not in a good way that challenges me. Its just plain frustrating. I loved doom 2016, eternal was okay, this dlc is just plain horrible. wish I would've saved my money. And yes I put the difficulty down to the lowest still got owned. It just makes me so mad, why do that.........Some of us just want to play a game ffs.

Don't listen to the haters. This dlc rules, and if you liked the base game, it's more of that, faster and tougher. The only thing I would genuinely call a step down from the main game is the music, where you can feel the lack of Mick Gordon. Apart from that? It's peak.

The Intern was really the only good part of this expansion Seriously though, he's awesome
