I absolutely love Doom Eternal, it's my favorite shooter of all time by a landslide.
Dark Ages still hasn't sold me, parries are the last thing I ever wanted from a Doom game and they seem to be the game's main focus.
I can respect Id Software for trying new things with every game, but taking away movement and focusing on parry mechanics isn't really innovative to me.
The 80 euro price tag doesn't help, there is no way in hell I'm paying that much for a game.
This is basically LGR's review summarized.
I haven't watched it, I guess we just feel the same about the game.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of plagiarism or anything; I just found the comparison apt.

Oh good, I wasn't really sure what you meant with your last comment. I'll give the review I watch, I didn't know the YouTuber.
No worries, sorry for being unclear.
IMHO he's pretty good to watch. "LGR" stands for "lazy game reviews," which I guess is how he started, but these days he mainly talks about retro hardware with an occasional game review (such as the one above). He gained popularity recently after being impacted by a weather event that unfortunately damaged a lot of rare hardware he was storing.
Hope you like him!
I just watched the review, it's really good and sounds honest, thanks for the recommendation!
My pleasure!
