So a few years ago (but several years after it was released) I played Doom 2016, and had a great time. Nothing too deep or all that memorable, but it was a very fun, action-filled romp.
Recently I started playing Eternal, and for some reason I'm not having nearly as much fun. I can't quite put my finger on why. Maybe it's the added "fluff" with the ship and all the stuff to unlock, maybe it's how they've changed the combat to require more careful weapon usage instead of just mindlessly blasting your way through everything, maybe it's that it feels like just arena after arena of enemies to clear (but I think the last game was a lot like that too).
I'm not sure, but about a third through the game (I think) I just thought "nah, I'm not gonna spend more time on this". So I quit and started playing Kena instead, and I'm having 10x more fun with that.
