DOOM Eternal or maybe the original Crysis
I've been meaning to try the original Crysis now that I have a computer that can play it. I started it, but then life happened.
DOOM Eternal didn't do it for me. It's Doom-ish, but not enough. It'd be a better game if it wasn't set in the Doom universe trying to add a bunch of non-Doom elements to the game. Doom (2016) did that too, but not to the same extent. I like the older Dooms mostly for their simplicity: get gun, see bad guy, shoot gun. Pick up health. Repeat. Doom Eternal did that, but added a story, weapon mods, and skills. Fine mechanics, but not Doom enough for me.
DOOM Eternal was like a ... crazy adrenaline pumping high for me that I normally don't get out of single player games, so that's why it's arguably my favorite.
I never really played the original DOOM games (they're almost too simple for me ... I didn't grow up with them but I did get into PC shooters with Xonotic -- a fast paced Quake derivative, so DOOM Eternal kinda makes sense for me).
I need to try out Xonotic. I went to high school with the guy who started the original game, who runs Alientrap now.
Oh wow, that's quite the backstory!
Yup, I was friends with his older brother. Both of them were/are a bit weird, didn't think much of either of them academically until grade 12. Then their math & and computer genious came out. Had a few university classes with them, the older brother has better social skills, but Lee is more creative IMHO.
Upshot is I played Capsized in 2009, so that was neat.
