What even is Doom anymore? It used to be a marine shooting demons on mars with a shotgun. Now it's some mythological fantastical fever dream bullshit where you ride dragons and execute perfectly timed combos against alien God things. It might be fun but it's certainly NOT Doom anymore.

Is this serious? Every Doom game has involved going to hell and fighting Demons from hell in space and such. You know, a mythological place and mythological creatures and insane situations that are clearly fantasy.
They changed the type of place and creatures slightly. This isn't really a stretch for the series.

Is this serious? Doom was sci-fi. Now it's fantasy. What don't you understand?

Greetings, mortal. Are you ready to die?

You could argue that Doom was always more fantasy focused than sci if, but it doesn’t really matter. Doom doesn’t need to be about the same thing forever. They already had some fantasy/medieval vibes with enemies like marauders, those awesome swords, and some of the visual designs of the areas. I think they saw that it worked and decided to expand on it.
IMO, it probably always needs to be about high-octane demon killing. If it stays true to that, it can still be called Doom.
