    Doom Eternal is a kinetic first person shooter that shows just how fun a video game can be. A Solid 9/10, and was very close to a 10 for me, but, for all the praise, it has flaws.

A Solid 9/10, and was very close to a 10 for me, but, for all the praise, it has flaws.
    Gameplay
    The gameplay is simple, with the Doom Slayer reacting in the way you expect and all times, every mechanic is simple: do this, and get an output. Yet the chaotic fast paced shooting quickly becomes complex and methodical. Every simple idea gets compounded one, after another, after another, each is explained but it takes the entire campaign to truly understand the mechanics that are given to you. The game is brilliantly paced. Abilities you learned at earlier levels you find yourself using more and more with other abilities later in game, finding synergies amongst your equipment. The game gives exponentially more options, making each combat encounter having thousands to millions of ways to approach. Whether going for a weak point on a big enemy, or ridding a entire area of smaller ones, the gameplay keeps the interactions between you and demons interesting with the game giving you so many ways to approach, you truly adapt to the game and learn it through and through.
    Design
    The Design of the game is made to be fast,. The faster you are the less likely you are you get trapped or hit. This incentivisation of quick reaction gameplay keeps the player on their toes. The genius decision by the Devs to give every enemy you encounter a certain weakness makes switching your arsenal frequent and engaging. The gameplay keeps itself fresh as you constantly have to change your approach from demon to demon. The designs of the different enemies are distinct, and with how fast you move, a glance and you know what is over in that direction. Every enemy is engaging, with all of them having attacks which you can take advantage of, and each one being fun to engage with in combat. (except for one, we will get there)
    Lore
    For having no story, the game has surprising amounts of lore, which can be accessed at any time through the pause menu. The amount of lore you have depends on where you are in the game. I found this system enhanced the experience, and made the game an interesting story experience as well as a gameplay one which doesn’t intrude on repeat play-thrus, which I feel is the perfect balance between the two concepts.
    Multiplayer: The multiplayer, After the feedback from the first game (Doom (2016)) that the death match mechanics did not match the original game, the developers created one, if not the most creative multiplayer experiences to date. It’s a 1 V 2, with the one being the Doom Slayer himself. The other two being two of the tougher demons, which can spawn underlines, which effectively make an ever adapting assault against the doom slayer in a quick matched arena battle. The multiplayer does have a few glitches to do with the demons being pushed out of the map when spawning, but shortly after they are transported back to their spawn, this can be jarring, but isn't game breaking.
    Flaws
    The game does come with previously mentioned bugs. I ran into a soft lock, as well as some overly hard to get to collectibles, but other then that, the biggest flaw comes in the form of the enemy which stops the game in its tracks every time they appear, causing the player to stand still and simply wait for them to attack, this is The Marauder.
    Marauder: Unlike all of the other demons, this one can not be killed normally. Whenever it is shot it will resist any damage by pulling up a shield, the marauder can not be faked out or tricked, they will never miss a block. If you get too aggressive and get to close the Marauder attacks instantaneously. If you are too far away they throw projectiles and adds, And the middle ground seems to fluctuate wildly. (which is the only time the Marauder will be able to be hit) The only time you can attack is then the Marauder does their axe attack, which draws the entire game to a halt because it’s random if the marauder is going to. The Marauder is the most annoying part of the game, and is by far the most flawed. (The funny thing is, Marauders are playable in multiplayer, and are fixed. They don’t have shields, and their best defense is movement, meaning you have to predict where they are going to be, which in turn, keeps the Marauder engaging to fight unlike in the actual game.)
    OverAll I enjoyed my time with immensely, it’s a strong 9/10 , with the down moments being frustrating, but the highs being so energetic and befitting for one of the best games of the year.    … Expand

    Don't listen to all the fools complaining about there being no ammo, you have a chainsaw that recharges itself and when used replenishes around half of your ammo. Rip and tear and, most importantly, chainsaw until it's done.

    When DOOM came out in 2016, I was shocked of how good it was. When DOOM Eternal came out in 2020, I was shocked of how better is than DOOM (2016). This should say something.

But whoever puts in the time to master it will find the beset combat expirience that videogames can provide. absolute masterpiece, its just wonderful to see a triple aaa developer who is this confident, focused and commited in creating a game. 10/10

    Its more Doom, and its good. :)
    At first i was a bit put of by the more Arcady UI design and the "combat is a puzzle" aspect of Eternal, but i gave it another chance and boy, i had no reason to be skeptical.

    Its a great game and for a lore buff like me its stuffed with world building that you can enjoy in the few calm moments between the insane high speed action.

    Doom Eternal is my favorite game of all time. I put more hours into it on the Xbox, so my hours on PC do not indicate how much I play accurately. This game gets you into the fun zone so easily and regularly, the developers are super responsive, and the community is amazing.

It would be boring af, just going from fight to fight with no connections.... This game is nowhere near to Mario games, and never gonna be.

Lets rocket burst every demon in a fight... a fight wouldn't be challenging. Just use quickswitching and try to use every weapon, OR play on the lowest difficulty where you get more ammo pickups. Last but not least if you think the storyline is not required in a doom game, just stop playing any of them. Playing trough Doom eternal helped me understand the backstory of the slayer.
    An absolute masterpiece, deserves every spent penny and a game of the year!    … Expand

    Fast paced, brutal, unrelenting action. Polished, runs super smooth on pc.
    ID evolved the DOOM combat formula to a whole new level, forcing you to play smartly and be aware of all that is happening around you.
    Combined with another banger OST by Mick Gordon, easily GOTY for me so far.

    Haven't played doom before. There was no desire at all. The previous part was kind ... nothing. You run, you shoot ... you saw monsters. Nothing special. BUT in this part, they made just gorgeous gameplay! Dudes, do more! I'm waiting for the next part and I'll go to finish the additions)

    A worthy sequel to a brilliant game with amazingly fluid combat and tons of depth of gameplay. The story kind of sucks, and Samuel Hayden's character feels really contrived sometimes. The music is also a step back from the previous game, but just shooting in this game is an absolute blast and feels like near perfection.

    Hardcore part of DOOM comparing to DOOM 2016 (both of them still can make you suffer on 'Nightmare' difficult).
    Many funny stuff. Interesting story, collectable items and tonnes of new and old monsters.

    Nice step up from Doom 2016 in terms of gameplay. It takes a while to get used to the new mechanics of dashing around and being very mobile but once you do it's about the most fun you can have in a singleplayer FPS. Many QoL improvements to help you find all the secrets. One of the few FPS games I fully enjoyed.

    Once you get into it, it's actually better than the 2016 version overall. The first 90 minutes I was left thinking that'd they'd made a mistake with the ammo attrition, but thankfully it gets a lot better as you more weapons.

    At first, I thought the platforming is sometimes a bit much, but as you get into it and comfortable, you start to love it. both games had that to some degree. If you don't like first person platforming this is NOT the game for you. Do yourself a favour and turn off the environment screen shake as it's obnoxious when climbing walls.

    The ammo counts are a bit too low in early game, resulting in too much survival based combat with the chainsaw and glory kills being required mandatory tasks rather than fun things you could do as and when you chose to. I also don't like how you can't now just equip the chainsaw and run around with it. Yes, it didn't really serve any gameplay purpose to do that over this new system, but it still just felt badass. However once you realise the chainsaw auto-regens it makes this a lot more palatable as you don't need to constantly hunt for fuel and you can actually use it far more often m/

    The UI is a downgrade though - the lime green / yellow art style doesn't suit the game and looks a bit cheap. The art style for the UI in the first game was so much better, and that can't be overstated. The font choices they have used are really awful.

    Audio is improved from the first one though, where the sound effects previously weren't always that good and there were some questionable EQ. The music mix is also improved, it's just as epic but a less fatiguing mix. The default mix does put the music way too loud though, but this can be adjusted.

    The game plays and runs superbly well though and the visuals are amazing - if you liked the first one, then you'll probably like this one, just give yourself an hour to get the first sections out the way as they are not the most inspiring.    … Expand

    Nearly every weapon feels like it has a significant role, a stark contrast to Doom 2016's promotion of 2 weapon playstyles.

    Let's start off by saying I loved DOOM 2016, It was very fast paced, had amazing gunplay and the glory kills were so awesome. Now for me DOOM Eternal is just like DOOM 2016 but everything has been improved. The graphics have of course been improved, but the visuals have also drastically changed. The background of each level is so unique and cool, for example in the first level with that huge monster in the background, every level has a unique feel to it. The demon models have also been improved and the glory kills are as cool as ever, and super graphic and I love that! Also that soundtrack, my god that soundtrack is SO GOOD!! One of the best soundtracks ever made for a video game for sure, that really compliments the gameplay well, it really makes you feel so badass and when that heavy metal drops you feel invincible.

    The gameplay is what makes or breaks a DOOM game, and DOOM 2016 really nailed the gunplay and then DOOM Eternal walks in and of course improves upon it. The guns are so fun to use and they all have a purpose. I always felt that the pistol from DOOM 2016 was so useless but I can't think of a single weapon in DOOM Eternal that was useless or bad. The game also runs so smoothly, it's amazing with how fast paced the game is it still ran so smoothly, I don't think I experienced one major frame drop. That's also one thing to keep in mind, this game is very and I mean very fast paced, you need to be on your toes for pretty much the entire game if you're playing on higher difficulties. This is not a normal FPS where you camp somewhere and try to get headshots. In DOOM you face your enemy head on, get right in their face, because that's how you stay alive, health drops from enemies. Even the platforming which was my least favorite part of DOOM 2016 has been improved and is actually fun. The gameplay is absolutely fantastic and I never felt bored once, which is an amazing achievement because even some of my favorite games can have boring moments.

    The story of DOOM games has never been the focal point, however I'm happy to report that despite this, DOOM Eternal brings a pretty enjoyable story that really commends the chaos of the gameplay. The story is just as crazy as the gameplay at points, which creates very enjoyable moments. There's not more I can say about the story without spoiling it so I'm going to leave it here.

    Overall, DOOM Eternal is one of my favorite games of 2020 and might actually also be one of my favorite games of all time, and that's not an exaggeration. The graphics, visuals, soundtrack, story and most importantly gameplay with heavy emphasis on the combat are all really great. I honestly don't have anything "bad" to say about the game, there might be some grudges but that's not enough to ruin the experience or even altar it. This is what I would call a perfect FPS. I've never been a huge fan of FPS games but DOOM just reinvents the genre.

However, if you want a fast-paced, visceral shooter full of non-stop action and outrageous violence, you can't do better than Doom Eternal. If you liked 2016's offering you will love this follow up.

    Like Jason Statham’s character in Crank, Doom Eternal needs adrenaline every waking second. So long as you drown hordes of demons in their own blood, it feels like a perfect GOTY contender, but during quiet moments, Doom Eternal withers and forces you to ponder unpleasant questions. id Software needs to course-correct, otherwise we’ll be playing Super Doom Slayer’s Bros in a few years.
