My YouTube feed is filled with nothing but overwhelmingly positive reviews. All I did was watch the trailer a while back, then a review with gameplay from some influencer that got early access.

I'm a huge doom fan dork, since the 90s. I'm old. But the trailer and gameplay had me thinking... meh.

I'll wait for a sale. But I'm curious if anyone else feels the same. Anyone normal play it? Specifically fans of 2016. Are these influencers getting paid to hype the game?

Anyone normal who bought day one, tell me I'm wrong and the hype is warranted. Just curious.

Thanks. Glad to hear this. I'll definitely be buying it, just depends how long I can wait.

not sold on is the story

This was how I felt about eternal. The lore was overdone, didn't have the doom "feel". 2016 had simpler lore, very well done, that kept with what I felt the doom theme feels like.

That being said if the gameplay is fun, that's what's important.
