I like the whole Doom Slayer just there to kill the demons and not giving a toss about the UAC/ Argent Energy.

It doesn't help that the plot isn't very good and doesn't make a lot of sense.

I am still mostly freaked out by jump puzzles (why are they in the game?), being low on ammo, and being forced to melee every second enemy.
