id Software round out the Doom Slayer's bloody interdimensional journey with characteristic style and flair, delivering a punchy and satisfying finale.

id Software delivers a memorable conclusion to the Doom Slayer epic. By erasing the flaws of the previous expansion, Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods, Part II offers the most complete games of the series. The new enemies are integrated very well and create new well thought out challenges. Apart from its lifespan, which can be explained by its release model, this new content has nothing to envy to the base game and closes the saga of the Doom Slayer with panache.

In short, this is the most complete version of Doom Eternal and, aside from a terribly frustrating late-game boss fight, a consistently great note for Eternal to go out on.

Doom Eternal's latest DLC may not be the best, but it is the most epic.

DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two on Xbox has made tweaks in all the right places to improve things for the concluding part of the DOOM Slayer saga. It’s by no means perfect, but the gameplay and tactics required makes it worth sticking around to finish the fight against evil.

Playing The Ancient Gods – Part Two is less frustrating and more enjoyable than conquering Part One, and feels like a more balanced experience besides. This is mainly due to the addition of a few interesting new enemies, which makes it all the more disappointing that fighting the Ultimate Antagonist, with whom the DLC and the game ends, isn’t really the final battle Doom Eternal deserves.

With forgettable levels and frustrating enemy additions, Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part 2 is an unworthy ending to this chapter in the Doom series' history. There were enough interesting story threads left to tie up to prove that refocusing on the story and Doomguy's identity was worth it, but the ultimate answers can't make up for a game that ends in a way so opposed to the franchise's core identity. Instead of ripping and tearing until it was done, Doomguy sat and waited for his ultimate foe to let him win.
