It drip feeds new enemies, new tools, and new tactics constantly. Most of the weapons you find are floating pickups that you run over, automatically pick up, admire, then unload on a demon within seconds. The dial starts at 9 and turns up to 999, I need a doctor. Then there’s your shoulder-mounted grenade launcher. You also have an assault rifle, which itself has a scope and rocket silo you can swap out mid-battle. Within the first hour, your shotgun has a detachable grenade launcher and a rapid fire mod, and you can freely switch between the two with a button tap. It starts with a short cutscene and you’re straight into Hell on Earth with a shotgun loaded and ready to go. You don’t even start with a pistol this time - there isn’t one. This sequel is about delivering more of that stuff you loved, faster than before. Doom Slayer is rage personified - a mute Kratos, an agent of blind vengeance who doesn’t listen to anyone.

Remember jumping whenever you tried to open a chest in Dragon Age: Inquisition? Bad. In most games, interact being on the same button as something else would be a complete no-no. So why, oh why, do I keep accidentally punching every computer terminal, door, and switch I see? All of this happened fluidly, in one smooth motion, in the space of a few seconds. When it exploded I dashed forward, jumped, swung again, and stabbed that fucker in its bulging eyeball.
