The gameplay is really good but holy moly the lore and characterization is concentrated reddit vibes.

Finally finished this today with all the secrets and achievements. I had a great time! I enjoyed it more than Eternal, but I will give Eternal another go. On release Eternal never clicked with me, because I had Covid shit to deal with on release. I'm a social care worker so it was all a mess back then. No lockdown for me, so when Eternal was released I wasn't in the right frame of mind, and the first person platforming and resource management annoyed the shit out of me. This? Now? Great! It felt like Doom! The open spaces, the simple combat loop clicked with me.
At a point in the game you could see that this may have originally been a reimagining of Quake 1 OR, this is ID dipping their toes into doing a reboot of the original Quake (God I hope so)...Anyway. Good game, and I appreciate that ID did something different with each iteration of the recent Doom trilogy.

Now to try Doom Eternal again....I may use the Ranger skin though!
Man! I'm hungry for a new Quake!! Damn!

[EDIT] Finished chapter 5. Honestly one of my favorite FPS levels ever. Flying around, counter dodging to destroy the cannons, seamlessly landing then infiltrating on foot and taking out a mini boss, then bust out and land mid air on the dragon again to fly around, boost chase other pilots, just a true pure fun action level. Great stuff. Also really appreciate how much the basic shield dash adds to combat. Can be used from far away and instantly closes the distance in a really fun way that pairs perfectly with the shotgun. Gore and muscle wasting on the enemies is great with chunks just falling off. Stacking classes of weapons on the X button as a toggle is also really smart.

Did you do second dragon mission?

As good as chapter 5 is, second one blows it out of water.

Sorry to say this but anyone criticising dragon missions in this game has lost their freaking mind.

Post game: can you exit to main menu after finding the secrets and upgrades you have left? Or do you have to complete the whole level for it to count?

Not yet. Haven't had any time to play lately. I'll get in a level or 2 today hopefully

Yes - option 1, that's what I've been doing. Finding the secrets and grinding the weapon challenges in easy areas, then going back to the menu.

dragon parts are fine within the context of the story and scope of the battles

Chapter 14 is dragon mission.

Best chaper in the game IMO.

They work cause its not entirely about flying the dragon, they mix it up.
