Eternal is an acquired taste. I kind of hated it when I jumped right into it after 2016 because it’s much closer to a 3D version of a “stylish hard action” game like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry than a DOOM game. But once everything clicked for me I got totally obsessed with it, to the point where I sunk at least 150 hours into beating it on all the various difficulties and modes.

I played through Dark Ages once and it was fun, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near replayable as the first two. I’m doing that anyway because my first time was with a wheezing RTX 2080 Super that could barely hit 60 FPS even with everything set to Low and DLSS turned on. Now that I have a 5080, I’m pushing 120 with everything cranked up and no DLSS. It’s glorious.
