I deliver chainsaw death to the demon horde, all the while dodging incessant gun fire, balls of fire and flying, shrieking, flaming skulls. Oh, and did I mention I'm doing this in hell, with lava and poison-filled pits left, right and centre? This is John Romero's Sigil 2, the hard-as-nails unofficial sixth episode for Doom, and it's simply awesome. It's also my personal pick for recognition in the PC Gamer Awards 2023.
As someone who played the OG Doom when it released, I played and loved Romero's first return to making full episodes for the game that made him, John Carmack, and the rest of the id Software team development legends back in the 1990s, with the original Sigil released back in 2019 dramatically rekindling the original Doom fires. And there was no better fire stoker than Romero, who always brought an extra level of Doom Guy infernal to the legendary FPS.
