Purchased both games at launch.
Finally quit Doom Eternal, that game just isn't any fun. I made it to Nekravol on easiest difficulty, I guess easiest just isn't easy enough for me.
That's not always the case. I played it through on Hurt Me Plenty first play through, which felt like one of the harder modes on 2016. There's a lot I know now that I didn't then which makes it a lot easier to play.
I wasn't really glory killing enough, which refills Blood Punch, and BP is very powerful later in the game. I'm also using the meathook now to completely bypass some enemies, or get to things like totem buffs faster. Knowing which weapons to upgrade and master quickly helps a lot too.
The below video may help show some tactics you've not tried. There are key places I could have made it easier on myself, like Blood Punching the Whiplash at 9:30 for an insta kill, instead of taking 3 devastating ground attacks from her 20 sec later. Or not having accidentally lobbed a 2nd frag at the first Doom Hunter, which resulted in taking lots of damage setting up the left side glory kill challenge on the 2nd one (but it's also because my freeze bomb missed him).
The earlier part of the level has lots of places to get easy kills with the crusher traps and BFG though. Also, an easy way to experiment with tactics is just Mission Select travel to Exultia before taking on a tough mission, where there's an Extra Life 1-Up on a ledge under where you're standing at the start. You can keep reloading that spot in mission select and quickly farm as many Extra Lifes as you want.
