DOOM is one of the few games I play when I have free time. I played DOOM 2016 just fine but DOOM Eternal on Steam will not load for me at all. I have 16 minutes play time without seeing the title screen at all. I can play GTA V and other such games on Steam just fine but DOOM Eternal won't even load.

What do I need to upgrade on my PC to play it?

That's what I was worried about but wanted to get more opinions on it. It sucks that video cards are stupid expensive right now.

I should have upgraded around 4 or 5 months ago right before the CPUs were being bought out but I was waiting for 3XXX series cards. Whatever. Fuck doom. Currently playing: Noita.

DOOM is fun for what it is. Noita looks nuts and vaguely reminds me of Lode Runner. I've been trying out Ori and the Blind Forest

Ori is good. I have played it.

Hollow Knight is my favorite metrovania possibly ever. Hyperlight drifter is good too.

Yeah I will eventually nerd out over Doom Eternal. Once supply and demand stabilize.

Ori is a great game. There's a sequel if you're interested, I haven't played it personally but it seems to be highly rated.
If you like that genre (Metroidvania) there's a lot of other games that don't need a huge graphics card. Ghoat 1.0 is good, Guacamelee is a lot of fun, Strider is great, and Unepic is fun as well. There's also Metroid randomizers, which take a Super Metroid ROM and shuffle all the items around, so it's the same gameplay but different item order. Plus there's a version that mixes it with Zelda A Link to the Past, such that you find Zelda items in Zebes and vice versa, and there's portals to switch between the two games.
