The 2016 reboot of id Software iconic first-person shooter is beloved and adored not for its ancillary multiplayer mode, but in spite of it. Yes, yes, I know that last sentence reads like blasphemous hearsay to the Doom faithful. And, I think, it goes a long way in explaining why I'm enjoying Doom Eternal's inventive multiplayer component, Battlemode, more than its indulgent single-player campaign. It's why I love being one of the remaining survivors on a game of Infected in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that sense of feeling totally outnumbered pumping the adrenaline like an intravenous drip of dopamine to the soul.
