You and several comments below point out how you like the old doom games and not anything new. I would agree that the old games (including Quake) were masterpieces, but I still like Doom 2016, Eternal, Ancient Gods Part 1, and Ancient Gods Part 2. It isn't supposed to be serious and the gameplay took me awhile to master. I enjoy having to think about which weapon and which of the 2 upgrades I need for each scenario and how I need to constantly use the flamethrower, gory kills, and chainsaw kills as much as possible to keep armor, health, and ammo high enough. I haven't even scratched the surface to be honest as good players will even use a trick of rapidly switching weapons to deal out maximum damage while not having to wait so long to reload. I'm almost forgot that double jump, double dashing, and the double barreled shotgun's meathook all give you crazy movement abilities. Then there is trying to remember the weakness of every monster. So the setting isn't as good (and the story is whacky), but the mechanics switch it from an FPS to some kind of art form. The only thing missing IMO is Mass Effect style character specializations. I'm not as big of a fan of the platforming, but it's an interesting challenge.
