Doom 2016 is the hardest.. kinda – From /r/Doom

On nightmare, in my experience, all the way through is insanely hard. Enemies from what I feel, hit way harder. It’s probably due to the lack of a “death warning” I’ll call it, where a high damaging attack while your at high health brings you to 5 hp. Doom Eternal and the Dark Ages had this. But 2016 doesn’t, and holy fuck, it leads to the most infuriating gameplay scenarios where you’re getting one shotted by imps early game, or two shotted late game.

THOSE FUCKING IMPS MAN.

I’ve beaten Ultra Nightmare on the modern doom games. And somehow, despite eternal being harder, I think it’s harder for a first or second time playthrough. Once you grasp the mechanics it’s much easier and you can dodge everything. In 2016, you’re slower, have less mobility options, and enemies can one shot you without any critical state.

Therefore, in my assessment, 2016 is harder on Nightmare and above due to the lack of movement options, less complex gameplay, and a lack of a “death warning”, which lets enemies one tap you. I never really understood how people find 2016 easier. Granted this is coming from nightmare standards, and a lot of people don’t play on nightmare, but it also applies to people who beat nightmare or un and think it’s easier than the others. Call it a skill issue even if I overcame ultra nightmare, but imo, 2016 is a much more frustrating game and is harder than Eternal and Dark Ages.

Post is pointless, but I don’t see many others with this opinion so imma share it.

Ps: soldiers can also fuck themselves.
