12 Video Game Bosses That Were A Total Letdown

12. Icon of Sin - Doom Eternal

At first, it seems fitting for Doom Eternal to conclude with a fight against The Icon of Sin, since he is (quite literally) the franchise's most iconic boss. 

However, the showdown could've been more epic. Instead of Doom Eternal ending with a brand-new antagonist, it's just the last boss from Doom II again. Rather than relying on a complex strategy, all The Doom Slayer has to do to beat the towering behemoth is shoot him... a lot.

Since The Icon of Sin is such a straightforward battle, it would've made more sense if the final adversary was the penultimate boss, Khan Maykr. This inter-dimensional alien is the overarching villain and the hardest enemy by far. Rather than relying on generic tactics, Khan has the most elaborate strategy, compelling the heroic marine to repeatedly launch himself into the air and grab onto the extra-terrestrial body to do some serious damage. 

Even though Khan is the logical choice for the final foe, The Icon of Sin was chosen instead for the sake of fan-service. If the order of these bosses was flipped, the climax of Doom Eternal would've been more gratifying.
