Doom Eternal — One of my favorite firefights in the game

Never stop moving. Aggression solves every problem. That’s the mantra of the game designers for Doom Eternal. You can’t hide out in one place in this single-player first-person shooter, because the enemies will just spawn right on top of you.

A good example of this is this firefight that I survived in the middle of the game. I had plenty of room to run, which is unusual in this game, as there are tons of places where you can get stuck and cornered as you flee the hordes of Hell. The game debuts on March 20 on the consoles and the PC.
