Been out for almost a year and just received a new DLC a few weeks ago.

    Huh, TIL, and I learned it because it is, I'm guessing, really bad.

    Tbh Doom TDA Revelations has been the most fun I've had with a game in years. It's really good. But what M$ did to id software is disgusting. On release day of the DLC over half their employees got fired.

    Good job guys, you finished the project. Now pack your stuff and go.

    Not really. It's actually pretty good. Microsoft just did jack all to market it for some reason.

    It also did have some controversy at the start.

    First is because of a granular difficulty customization, down to even having a slider to slow or increase the speed of the game itself. Some elitists got butt hurt over it.

    Second is that it is a slower pace overall compared to the experience that 2016 and Eternal were. So, when it didn't play like people expected, it caused some friction.

    Oh also, Microsoft forced it to be $70. So a lot of gamers just didn't buy it out of principle.
