10 Video Game Enemies That Made You Turn The Console Off

1. The Marauder - DOOM Eternal

Singlehandedly designed to be one of those enemies we talk about for the rest of time; an awful encounter that actually binds us together through sheer shared hatred, The Marauder might be the single reason only 36% of people on PlayStation consoles have finished DOOM Eternal on any difficulty.

Why? Because he requires a completely different tact to any other enemy in the game. Where everything else can largely be taken down through a glorious mix of tanking hits through armour, chainsaw health pickups and a LOT of gunfire, The Marauder can only be hit at all if you maintain a specific distance.

Too far and it'll throw energy bolts your way while unleashing a dog that blocks your view if it connects. Too close and the shield goes up while it attacks with a devastating axe. The only way to do ANYTHING is maintain an invisible amount of distance you have to "feel out" amongst the chaos, triggering a lightning fast attack that can finally be interrupted, giving you a millisecond opportunity to get some hits in.

DOOM Eternal's reputation feels notably mixed, even years after release. I hazard to guess it's because of encounters like this.
