I'll give em credit: they tried something new. FPS and even boomer shooter genre has gotten stale lately and Doom 16 was their "back to roots" release. A Doom 16-2 wouldn't have done so well.
I enjoyed it, but at the same time this isn't exactly the next evolution of the FPS, more of a side branch that needed exploring.
