Wow, your final experience with Eternal is exactly like mine. Maybe except i liked the game a lot from the get-go. Well, up until level 9 it was more or less great. And then from 9 to 13 with that super boring boss at the end... i ended up so tired and disconnected with the game that during ending cutscene i felt just sadness and was glad it's over.
Combat of Eternal is so above every other FPS it amazes me. Even though "the loop" aka managing your resources is just too...short or frequent - you have to do it multiple times during every encounter, so by the end of the game I am a little bit tired of chainsawing etc. Also all these battle arenas during the campaign looks different from each other but God do they feel samey. That was so tiring.
Many other aspects like exploration and art are much better than previous game, but as a whole package I still prefer Doom 2016.
Personally, I love Marauder. He really challenge you, demands your attention and brings something different to the table. On the other hand, last bossfight is just bummer. Uninteresting bullet-sponge target mixed with ton of demons that don't let me deal with that boss. Annoying disappointment, I grabbed that sentinel armor happily and I feel no shame. So yep, Eternal is ups and downs for sure, but it is a great game nonetheless.
After finishing the campaign a tried Master Levels and they are awesome, eager for more of them in the future updates!
