Reminds me of the end-boss of "Doom: Eternal's" DLC, although there
were similar portions in the earlier game too. I HATE monsters with
magic invulnerabilities unless you time your attacks just right, or
use one particular weapon. It's arguably an okay mechanic in some
games, but it feels out of place in a game like Doom.

It's the FPS equivalent of those moon-logic puzzles in Sierra
adventure games; forcing players down a nonsensical (and often
non-obvious) path.

It being "Doom", I'm sure I'll definitely acquire it eventually. But
the likelihood of my actually PAYING for this game is falling quickly.
It, like Civilization VII, are ever more likely to be free-game
fodder.
