Clunky and aggressively un-fun. Leans too hard into survival horror but did so at a time when "spawn an enemy directly behind the player" was the only original idea in that genre.

I have tried to like this game, but the repetitive, boring environments, the unfair enemy spawns along with the damage they do on Veteran difficulty, and the awful gunplay (yes, for an id game the feel is VERY off; the shotgun is among the worst I've used in ANY fps) make this difficult to recommend to anyone outside of a DOOM completionist.
