Weird to end your game with a way, way easier boss fight than the one from the chapter before (against the same guy!)
I disliked Doom: The Dark Ages. The game put way too much of a priority on parrying, and the encounter design was lacking, making very few of the encounters actually stand out. The plot would have been better off cut, along with the turret, mech, and dragon sections. It gets even farther away from what made Doom and Doom 2 good.
The name drop of some random guy I suspect I'm supposed to remember from either 2016 or Eternal is funny though.

Because I make bad decisions, I decided that instead of playing the like fifty maps I have left, I should replay the three that Id already played but didnt make recordings of. Go me!")

This just completely does not succeed at making encounters feel different from each other. Being able to do the shield dash has a way of flattening all the playing fields, and being able to parry everything makes all the enemy types more or less feel the same.")

Its been a long time since I last played Resident Evil 7, so I figured I should give it another go.")

Oh, turns out theres a powerup that trivializes the game. Cool. And the standard you didnt do everything so you get the bad ending metroidvania end.
Didnt like the game. Didnt like the traversal. Didnt like the exploration. Didnt like the combat. Didnt like the story.")

Ending kind of snuck up on me.
Ragebound was fine. The plot was very perfunctory, and the gameplay acceptable, but nothing like the old Ninja Gaiden game. They locked the harder difficulty settings behind beating the game, which is a shame because the game was just too easy.")

Seems like Im nearing the end. So far its fine. I dont have the same sense of direction I did in a Resident Evil game, and I really wish I could pan around on the map (maybe you can and Im missing something). It is funny that the dinosaurs feel less threatening than zombies in Resident Evil.")
