New enemy types like Stone Imps, Armoured Barons and Riot Soldiers all require new and specific tactics to take down, and the game continues its clever and relentless combination of enemies to keep you constantly cycling through your formidable arsenal. The gameplay by now ought to be extremely familiar, but there’s a few novel twists to keep things interesting (and difficult). This is not a negative, as the pace is excellent, never dwelling on one area long enough to make your mind start to wander amongst the hapless slaughter the goal feels always just within reach, the inexorable march of the Doom Slayer a guide and inspiration. Part Two is fairly bite-sized, weighing in at about three to four hours across three new locales. The story is there for those (like me) who love its compelling silliness, but even if you don’t fully comprehend the nitty gritty, you will nonetheless know that you’ve accomplished something momentous. What is relevant is that his demons are in your base, killing your dudes, and that’s not something to be abided by. Whether or not you’ve been following the fact that the Dark Lord (once a benevolent creator seeking to spare his creations the pain of death) was betrayed by a powerful race he created to find the answers to immortality is more or less irrelevant. Your goal here is incredibly simple: travel to the heart of Hell and partake in a cosmic biff with the King of Hell in a winner-takes-all slugfest that will either rid all realms outside of Hell of demons, or let them roam freely. I’ve remarked in all my reviews about the surprising depth of DOOM’s lore if you’re willing to throw yourself down the rabbit portal, and while Part Two certainly leans on that lore, it feels more focused and one-minded in how it handles the narrative. The Ancient Gods – Part One concluded in dramatic fashion, with the Dark Lord of Hell himself being revealed as basically a dark version of everyone’s favourite Doomguy.
