A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Just came across this on an old wish list, had completely forgotten about it!

Think I mustn’t have fancied paying full whack at the time as I wasn’t interested in the multiplayer or the dlc hype etc (I know, I know).

Anyway well worth a couple of bucks and saves the many now-unloved copies out there becoming trash so thought I’d share in case anyone else missed out!

Eh, didn't like it much tbh.

It lacks the immediacy and simplicity of Doom 2016.

Eternal adds a lot of extra buttons to the mix, but it doesn't make it more fun. Just becomes a needless faff. The story takes itself way too seriously as well.

It just takes everything that was great about 2016 and builds on it until you can't see it any more.
