Metal Eden

The problem with creating so close a pastiche of Doom (2016) is that it invites a comparison where the more famous title wins out by virtue of Id's greater resources and experience, even 9 years earlier: a better-looking and more efficient engine, more complementary systems, more distinct weapon and enemy designs, more expansive levels. Metal Eden's strength is a pervasive effort to establish atmosphere and style, impressionistic though its art and writing might be.
