All levels completed on Ultra Violence. It's kinda a meh expansion, they didn't really add anything new besides the levels. But man are the levels pretty, seriously some of the most beautiful environments I've ever seen. Difficulty is ramped up which is cool, UV in the base game was kinda insanely easy (finished the game with 35 spare extra lives) this one actually had me struggling particularly with the spirits. 7/10

If you're thinking this is gonna be a great DLC like the main game, don't get your hopes too high. It's not terrible but it really isn't anything special. Compared to the main campaign it's relatively short, but the levels have a lot of detail. There's many challenging encounters but overall they're pretty easy to overcome. All of the new enemies suck and this game would be so much better without them. The final bossfight is annoying and the ending is stupid if I'm being honest. The first chapter is pretty good, the second one is less good, especially with the stupid "boss" at the end, and the final chapter was sort of annoying but did look decent, except for the boss. The only really good thing about this DLC is definitely the music. It's worth at least finding the soundtrack online. If I could give a "mixed" rating I definitely would, because it's not so bad that it needs a negative review, but I wouldn't quite recommend it.

Definitely the worst part of DOOM Eternal. Spirits suck to fight against and the final boss was very underwhelming. If there was a mixed review option, this would be one of them.

I was fortunate enough to receive the Ancient Gods Part One expansion for DooM Eternal as a gift, and I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the expansion offers solid gameplay and a chance to continue the story of DooM Eternal. However, I can't ignore the controversy surrounding the use of music in the base game. It's well-documented that composer Mick Gordon was not given proper credit for his work on the original soundtrack, and many of his compositions were replaced in the final game without his knowledge or consent. This is a disappointing turn of events, and it's a shame that Gordon has not received the justice he deserves. As for the expansion itself, I found the gameplay to be generally enjoyable. The levels are well-designed and challenging, and the new enemies and weapons add an extra layer of excitement to the combat. However, I do agree with the comparison to Mario and God of War. At times, the platforming and boss fights feel over-the-top and detract from the raw, visceral experience that I expect from a DooM game. Overall, Ancient Gods Part One is a decent expansion, but it's hard to fully enjoy it knowing the problems behind the scenes. It's a shame that the music controversy has overshadowed what could have been a great addition to the franchise. I hope that id Software can make things right with Mick Gordon and restore his rightful place in the DooM legacy.
