The story expansions offer solid continuations of the Doom Slayer’s journey with new enemies and settings, though some feel the ancient gods content should have been a standalone game or included in the main game rather than a DLC. While the narrative may not be the primary focus for many players, the story is generally well-received and complemented by engaging missions, despite occasional repetitiveness and pacing issues.
