You prefer Ultrakill because it reminds you of Doom Eternal I prefer Boltgun because it reminds me of Doom The Dark Ages We are exactly the same

You pull the trigger heresy explodes. You stop moving you die. You think you’re done the game spawns 20 more cultists. It looks like Doom had a baby with Warhammer 40K and raised it on pure rage. The bolter feels illegal, the soundtrack hates silence, and subtlety was executed for heresy. You don’t play Boltgun to take cover. You play it to erase everything on screen in the name of the Emperor. Final score: Gun...

I don't know man... on paper I should've loved this. I love Doom old and new, I loved Dusk, but this one... I felt like I got the gist after level one and all they had to offer from there was bigger swarms and longer battles. Game has two songs max. Somehow this made a repetitive experience even more repetitive. Game has two scenarios. No monsters, or all monsters lobbed at you in circular arena. Maybe they mix...
