Doom (2016) if you want a shooter, Doom Eternal if you want a puzzle at 200mph. Eternal is deeper and more demanding — every enemy has a specific answer and running out of ammo is a design choice, not a failure. 2016 is looser and more immediately satisfying.
Same studio, same push-forward combat, same soundtrack energy, and both are among the best-feeling shooters ever made.
Chainsaw for ammo, flame belch for armour, glory kill for health, and a resource economy that forces constant weapon switching. When it clicks it is the best combat in any first-person game.
More like this: games like Doom Eternal.
Simpler, heavier, and it lets you pick a favourite gun and use it. The better entry point by a distance.
Doom (2016) if you want a shooter, Doom Eternal if you want a puzzle at 200mph. Eternal is deeper and more demanding — every enemy has a specific answer and running out of ammo is a design choice, not a failure. 2016 is looser and more immediately satisfying.
Better is the wrong question for these two — they are close enough that the answer depends on what you want from the next twenty hours. Pick Doom Eternal if you want mastery. Pick Doom (2016) if you want to switch off.
