Have someone that's even just moderately good at Eternal and then watch their keyboard strokes. It's a combo-centric game, where you're constantly juggling weapons and jumping to and fro, and eventually it slides into a "flow." It's not literally a rhythm game, but it actually kind of is once you hit that flow. I don't know how to explain it beyond that; but, it's not a hot take in the least, as even huge fans of it have agreed with the sentiment.

yeah i love doom eternal and you're completely right here. i think it's definitely more noticeable at higher difficulties, but the game absolutely demands a certain rhythm

I played it for just a couple of hours and I understood why you were saying that. It was either dance around like an idiot or make no progress. I didn't like it and stopped playing it.
