Doom 3 wasn’t the same kind of game as Doom and Quake were. Serious Sam was more on that line - Doom 3 was an entirely different game type even though it had the same lineage.
This is true, but unfortunately the game is a plodding horror linear corridor shooter with bare threads of sloppily integrated immersive sim/System Shock-style elements like NPC logs and safe codes, except all the supporting elements that facilitate player agency are removed.
It looks nice, when you can see what's happening, otherwise it's a collection of good ideas and tech executed badly.
