I haven't tried Doom Eternal but it sounds like he's looking for a story-rich, choices-matter game, like The Wolf Among Us, or Life is Strange, or these tags on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?tags=1742,6426 (People really liked Disco Elysium but I didn't much)

If somebody likes Doom, that’s basically the polar opposite of "story-rich, choices-matter game” — in the opening scene of Doom (2016), an NPC attempts to deliver some plot via video call; to which the player character responds by punching the computer screen and immediately going back to shooting demons in the face :P

Ok, but one of his main complaints was that he was completely bored by the story and that it was short and meaningless. Sounds like he wanted more and better story.
