Best shooter of 2020

Four years ago, DOOM 2016 became my favorite shooter of all time. For a game I expected to suck DOOM completely surprised me at how true it was to the original. It was fast paced, intense, had great enemy and weapons variety and a kick-ass soundtrack. So naturally my expectations were very high for the sequel, and somehow it managed to exceed those expectations. Everything I loved about the first game carries over here and all the new added features were great additions such as the flamethrower, blood punch, dash, and especially the grapple. The level design also is improved here and the added mobility is great. The story wasn't all that special but the added lore was cool. I also enjoyed the new enemies and all how much variety there were to them and that there was some more strategy involved in defeating them. I also found the locations to be more memorable in this game. The game is also filled with such bad-ass and memorable moments that I don't wish to spoil but man. This game did it man. The beginning is a bit rough but once you get past that bit it's so enjoyable beginning to the end. I love this game so much and I can't recommend not enough to anybody who loves these high adrenaline games.
