    Childish boomstick. Kinda entertaining at first, but becoming repetitive rather fast. Everything what we hate is there, respawning enemies, checkpoint saves, enemies fighting to each other as a decoration as they never actually kill each other.
    Platform jumping in the game deserve a special notice - extremely annoying and stupid part.

    Special kills is a routine, as you need to finish almost every enemy with it to get a "prize" - ammo, which is btw very limited. Honestly, I will try to get a moneyback.    … Expand

    I have about 2 hours in Doom Eternal now. I've been looking forward to this quite a bit since I played Doom 2016. However, this game feels like just another shooter with a bunch of modern gaming BS thrown in - skins, gimmicks, fluff, etc.

I've been looking forward to this quite a bit since I played Doom 2016. However, this game feels like just another shooter with a bunch of modern gaming BS thrown in - skins, gimmicks, fluff, etc.

    Start with the sound track - I think I haven't heard barely any decent music in the 2 hours that I've played so far. It hasn't ramped up once into the great metal soundtrack that is supposed to come with it like Doom 2016 did.

    Next with the combat - it's functional. Doesn't feel as brutal as Doom 2016 was, but at least it works... until they put you in the purple goo that makes you move at a crawl, unable to jump, unable to dash (or boost or whatever), and fight tanky enemies... because for some reason, I want my mobility to be taken away in a doom game. Then some of the areas are incredibly cramped - both the arenas and transition areas. Who's idiotic idea was it to put me into a hallway with one of those spider demons with no room to move before I even had the boost function? Who's idiotic idea was it to take away my mobility so drastically in multiple parts of the game? It feels like I'm just grinding out from one area to the next.

    Add on the fact that there are now jumping puzzles. I play doom to fight, not to figure out how to jump around some falling platforms. There's a lot of this style of gameplay now - it's fluff. They're not fun, they're not challenging, they're not mentally stimulating, they just waste time.

    And then we get into the pacing. Doom 2016 didn't have a ton of lore/story in it which was fine for me. It would be fine with it too... if the cut scenes didn't cut into the combat and slow down the pace considerably. And the doom guy doesn't even seem angry any more. He just seems apathetic and doesn't want to listen to anyone. Doesn't do a ton of random smashing of anything unless it's a glory kill. Add in the puzzles from before and the pace slows down even more.

    Then also add in the fact that they actually encourage cheesing in multiple parts - sniping from a distance instead of the close up fast pace combat from Doom. I just... what?

    And then I'm really nitpicking here, but the textures, colors, and design used is just kind of arcade-ish and looks like a cartoon.

    This is not a doom game. I can still go back to Doom 2016 and get absolutely lost in the battle/chaos. In this, I feel more like I'm checking off lists and such like so many modern "shooters" feel. The brutality is gone, the fast paced combat is mostly gone and just replaced with frustration and cramped environments, it's just not good. I gave it 3/10 just for being functional. Other than that, I wish I hadn't spent 60$ on this.

    In addition, I forgot the greatest sin in this game. It requires a bethesda account to play, even though it's a single player game and the actual online portion of the game is heinously unbalanced and terrible to play.    … Expand

    Bethesda is a curse at its current state. Constant popups and weird color scheme, did you try to merge Fortnite and Doom from 2016? Its too arcade and cartoonish, I don't know who is the target player here but mine is refunded. Oh yeah, it requires Bethesda dot net login even if you buy it from Steam.

    I simply don't get why we couldn't keep the formula of Doom 2016, where it was so satisfying to crush monsters' sculls. Where is it all gone? And where is all this storyline coming from? Why do we need this generic fantasy nonsense in a Doom game, what is it, Harry Potter fanfiction? And also why do I need to watch monsters fighting each other without taking any actual damage? Is it supposed to be funny?

    Thanks, but no, refund, I will rather play any other Doom game. This one is not just a bad Doom game, this is not even a shooter. This is First Person Mario-Dota-Slasher, a new kind of genre, which I defenitely do NOT like. And it is a shame they spoiled great Doom series with this awful game.

    PS. What those positive reviewers are even talking about - "resource management", "strategic thinking"? How about this strategy - "press E for ammo, press C for health", does it sound smart to you? Resource management existed in classic Doom games where you had actually to learn level to find hidden ammo, or otherwise you would just die, because there was no infinite farming. Modern mass-market "gamers" would just cry, I believe, so here you have doom eternal.    … Expand

    And they absolutely killed all atmosphere of original Doom series! Hey fat taco, it's isn't CARTOONISH VIOLENCE! Because it never was! It's post-truth of Bethesda marketing department and you KNOW it.

    This game is just pain in the ass, it's how it plays, without any balance and anything interesting if you playing on lesser difficulty than Ultra-Violence. It has no place for unique tactics or something, just quicktime events and jumps, because game is teleporting demons right in your face! For fans of Osu and other jerk off games, they absolutely ruined it. Exploring? Nooo! Jump by platforms and play goddamn arcade **** when shooting and close combat is 50/50. It's Doom? It's revolution of FPS genre?! Are you fkn serious?!

    Formula is simple - weaker Doomslayer, less ammo, more attachments and more HP to monsters! Doom '16 has a popular Arcade Mode - Doom Eternal is arcade mode only. "Geniously"!

I also really hate the enemy weakness system they have in place. Certain enemies are weak to a specific weapon, or rather weapon upgrade, if used in a specific way. Unfortunately this doesn't give you a minor advantage, it turns them into bullet sponges if you don't kill them exactly the way the game wants you to. This is not how Doom should work. Enemies should be weak to the way you move, not the weapon upgrade that you use. In this case, instead of keeping your rhythm up, the game forces you to just fiddle with your weapon selection ALL the time. Add to the above an abundance of tedious platforming and the facepalm-worthy excuse for a "story" and you get a very mediocre, frequently annoying shooter that scores even lower due to the shoes it has to fill.

    DOOM 2016 was a coherent game where every gameplay element existed to keep you immersed, keep you in the action, keep you going.

You'd kill dozens if not hundreds of demons before realizing what happened but the adrenaline was pumping, the music kept you on the edge, and you'd know you caught a break when the music finally slowed down. Only then could you take a moment to realize what's around you before moving the only way you could: forward, where more action awaited.

    DOOM 2016 knew what they were doing and why, there's even a GDC talk about it, available online called "Embracing Push Forward Combat in DOOM".

    DOOM Eternal took those gameplay elements and turned them completely around. Instead of filling you with ammo you were low on, it restricts ammo acquisition through the chainsaw, which is on a ****ing cooldown. Instead of rushing forward in the action and feeling like a god amongst demons, you're forced to hide behind pillars while the cooldown comes back so you can start fighting again.

    - They removed ammo drop from takedowns, which used to refill ammo you were critically low on
    - They removed the pistol with infinite ammo so you can cause staggers, deal takedowns and get more ammo
    - Melee does no damage, or no significant damage, so you can't cause stagger with that either
    - They put the chainsaw on a ****ing cooldown

    In the mid 2000 the video game industry realized that, while health regen was nice for the player, it caused one big issue: players would now spend half their time hiding while the action was supposed to be going on. Since then, a lot of mechanics were put in place to stay player friendly, but not kill the action. Such as splitting the health bar in 3 so that you would never gain more than 1/3 of your health, reducing how much time someone spends hiding. I guess DOOM:Eternal game designers didn't get that memo.

    I'm pissed. I wanted DOOM 2016 improved. I wanted a few cool things to do, but really, I wanted more of the same. What I got is a disgrace.

    On the upside, the visuals are nice and the music is still pretty good. On the downside, I didn't even talk about the invisible walls everywhere because they couldn't do level design where their platforming would work without also opening up a bunch of potential ways to go around the intended path, so instead they patched everything with invisible walls.    … Expand

The chainsaw in Doom 2016 was a great tool you had to deploy tactically for great pay off. Eternal's is just another process you have to go through from time to time; it's necessary work, not a fun reward.

( это не самое важное замечание, но довольно примечательно и о чем то говорит )

    Кроме того в перезапуске все локации смотрелись органично, локанично и обьяснялись законами физики и лором. В новой игре нет ни одной локации, в которой не будет летающего куска платформы. Эти платформы рушат любое погружение в историю и атмосферу, просто убивает впечатление от первой части ( хочется пройти ее еще раз чтобы освежить в памяти гениальный ремейк ) и разочаровывают ожидания от сиквела ( чему способствуют купленные обзоры (до релиза в том числе) ).

    В первой части была история, которую хотели закончить, а из завершения истории решили сделать мем, при чем такой однообразный, банальный и несмешной. Я никак не смогу сложить историю 16 года с историей этого говнеца, прямым продолжением которого его и позиционируют.

    А теперь для тех кто кайфует от "настоящего мяса и драйва и вообще игра года ( века )". Чуваки, есть концепт новой игры. Элементы этой игры взяты за основу из игры 90-х. И если "игра 1" позицианирует себя как серьезная, "игра 2" не должна сравниваться каждым вторым с марио ( при чем не только от огненных крутилок крутилок, а еще и по цветовой гамме ), она должна остаться такой же серьезной, она просто обязана быть с незначительными изменениями, как это было с Вольфенштейн: нью ордер и нью колосус. А если игра концептуально сильно отличается от предыдущей части, то это либо говно, либо игру просто следует назвать по другому ( НАПРИМЕР КВЕЙК ЕТЕРНАЛ )

Я получил открытую концовку, которую я вынужден додумать сам, потому что если я продолжу играть, я испорчу впечатление от истории еще больше.

    I'm really disappointed.

    DooM 2016 was a fantastic game. It had great pacing and enabled a variety of tactics - positioning, crowd management, ammo conservation and deciding how to deal with each group of enemies anew.

All this while telling a great story, through exploration of humanity's failed ambitions on Mars. You really felt like the lone outsider who ignores all plans and advice because he's seen it all before.

    DooM Eternal feels uninspired and like it barely avoided becoming a generic loot shooter.

    Right upon launching the game, you find out that you'll either sign up for Bethesda.net or the game won't let you play. After all, you need to claim your "rewards" check out how you're now the Super Amazinglicious Slayer Level 159 with special weapon skin number #34 or whatever :-(

    Behind that is a very repetitive and gimmicky arena shooter. For some reason the DooM slayer now has an unexplained "sanctuary" from which he launches "missions" and some voice is telling him what to do (and he actually complies...)

    Gameplay-wise, you'll find that you can only carry enough ammo to defeat 4-5 low-level enemies and that the game is utterly overloaded with gimmicks. Poor Doom Slayer can hardly walk 100 steps without having to watch a cutscene, grab a weapon mod, collectible, new punching skill, new special ability, stat upgrade etc.

    And swinging around on poles, grabbing onto walls? Doesn't really work for this game. I'm loosing the will to continue playing... I've already got a flamer (R), chainsaw (C), fist (E) / blood fist (E) that the game continuously forces me to use to get ammo/health. I wonder how many more "moves" remain to be dumped on me (certainly wall running and grappling hook are still out there) that get in the way of enjoying the game.    … Expand

    Too many mechanics (glory kills, blood punch, chainsaw, freeze bomb, flamethrower, dash) and you are forced to use them if you want to survive. There's too little ammo (your shotgun has 16 rounds at the start) so you have to constantly use the chainsaw animation to get more.

    Platforming is boring and doesn't add anything to the game other than padding the level length. The story is in your face and the writing is cringe-worthy.

    You can only start having fun after dropping to difficulty level, obtaining all the weapons and buying all the ammo upgrades.

    If you liked all the Doom games in the past 20 years, it will be hard to adjust to this. What's wrong if you just want to shoot a demon in the face without having to worry about all the additional mechanics.    … Expand

The last stages of this game are soooo boring and you are so over the whole thing by the time you get there it's not even funny.

    Instead of the near future-aesthetic of Doom 2016, we are now suddenly in some sort of Warhammer 40K-universe with knights and castles... Where did this come from?

    I guess the worst part is that I've never felt this old when playing a game before. I feel as ancient as the Khan Maykr, and my torment when playing through this was worse than being in hell.

As a result we have 5 different upgrade systems - for weapons, for weapons upgrades, for the suite, for the runes, for the ship + all the cosmetics etc. And if in Doom 2016 it was quite clear and useful, here it's just a mess. Platforming ... why? Who wants jumps and ledgers and wall-climb in Doom? Then we have ammo-armor-health system. Could you imagine that you will be constantly out of ammo in Doom? So that instead of shooting demons and having fun you must constantly think when to set them on fire, when to use chainsaw to get ammo etc? And what if you are out of ammo AND fuel for chainsaw? That's it, you are dead.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the absolute worst games thats been released in a long time, a blot on the legacy of Doom and the (formerly) good reputations of both Id Software and Bethesda Games. If you expect anything of value or any shreds of entertainment to be had from this game. An absolute slog at best, complete sewage at worst its shocking that something of this quality can be released in this golden age of gaming. Boring, bland, bothersome gameplay, that punishes the player for trying anything outside of the hardset limits the game has in place. Why they did this? I can't even imagine why, maybe to appeal to older games who have gotten slow and stupid in their advanced age or young kids that can barely count to 3 yet but the design choice is truly appalling and downright insulting to the average gamer. A drastic decrease in weapon and enemy variety from past releases, the same imps and cacodemons either reskinned or outright reused in parts of the game you'd hope for something fresh. I'm talking 20 hours in and its the same enemies you're expected to be tackled in the same way. The bosses suffer from this problem too, the same cyberdemons or barons of hell barely sized up and maybe with a new coat of paint dropped in almost at random seemingly just to pad the game out instead of testing the players skills (something they realized they wouldn't need to do, due to the redundant gameplay i mentioned earlier). The graphics are a major step back in terms of quality. Doom 2016 looks lightyears ahead in terms of quality, shoddy texture work, low poly models and atrociously bad animations, the absolutely rushed state of the game is on full display in an area you expect even the most lackluster of games in this current generation to at least somewhat succeed in. In terms of weapon variety, as I mentioned earlier, severely lacking in variety. Only 3 weapons available in the entirety of the game, one being a hidden reward from a boring collectathon sidequest and even then not worth the time to unlock it, as I've already explained at length how the game punishes any variety. The HUD and UI is laughably bad, looking like it was designed in some cheap knockoff of photoshop, barely conveying any information regarding damage or the status of your character to the player, as well as cluttering the screen with useless text and effects. Speaking of the character, Doomguys design is an extreme downgrade from past titles. In a cheap attempt to capture nostalgia from past games it just comes off as being an homage to the artwork of Tom of Finland. Gaudy and grotesquely built its a slap in the face to human anatomy and good character design across so many other games. The art direction of the entire game feels this way, definitely not aided by the low quality graphics. Going from gross and gory, to extravagantly bland, I'd hate to see what the concept art was like if whats on display in the final game looks this bad. One would expect sprawling scenic environments of a real hell on earth, all that you get greeted with is a low poly 4 year olds idea of hell. The story is truly the crown jewel of just how bad this game gets. Nonsensical boring dialogue, lengthy drab cutscenes and retcons of the worst degree are just some of the gems in store for you if you pick this game up. The character of Samual Hayden has been absolutely mangled, going from proud noble futurist scientist, to disturbed, almost child predator creep. His weird obsession with the frighteningly young intern character reflects a strange creative choice by the devs, to the point I almost believe someone on the writing team was projecting their own desires on this cast of characters. The character of Doomguy truly got the brunt of these bad decisions. The cool, restrained, angry demeanor presented in 2016 has been completely replaced with this psychopathic, enraged persona that isn't helped by the awful voice acting, that I can only guess was provided by some bum on the street they hired to record his lines. The voice acting problem is reflected on the entirety of the extensive new cast of characters but is notably bad for Doomguy. The story is completely incoherent with timeskipping and constant planet hopping that would put the modern Star Wars movies to shame. The twist that the Dark Lord thats been hyped up the entire game being Doomguy from an alternate timeline comes out of complete left field, due to the amount of hilariously bad red herrings and false twists I almost feel must have been left over from old versions of the script that they must never have been improved upon. This trainwreck of a game truly goes to show how far down the level of quality has dropped for AA devs. The reputation of these companies I don't think can ever be recovered just because of how hard they dropped the ball on this one. Why something like this was made and released, especially from the devs that brought us Morrowwind and Wolfensteinn. My final review for this game is a concrete 0 out of 10....… Expand

    They pulled a bait and switch however and with yesterdays update added Denuvo Anti-Cheat which requires a kernel mode driver that causes system instability and massive slowdowns. It also runs during singleplayer.

    Aside from the graphics from 10 years ago the kernel based anti cheat that basically now allows them to take over and track everything you do on your pc is such a invasion of privacy. Bethesda has to be the worst company when it comes to making sound decisions.....

    After the first update, the game requires Denuvo Anti Cheat installed right by your system kernel, even if you want to play the campaign. If you uninstall the anti cheat, Bethesda launcher will attempt to install ir every time you run the game. The hilarious part, is that Doom 2016's MP was rampant with cheaters and neither Bethesda or Id did care about it.

    Denuvo anti-cheat. I loved the game, I won't install Denuvo anti-cheat and I can't play single player as a result. This installs without notice onto your machine with kernel level access, it can update at any time without notice, perform changes without notice, and intercept/collect data without notice.

    I do not consider justified this score, the game is terribly difficult, very bad restored the difficulty.
    Whoever accents of torturing himself its a good game to add. Also, the game is very crowded, full of unnecessary things, even weaker than doom 2016.

I'm serious: the most important part of this game is farming weak monsters for health, ammo and armour. They infused the razor sharp core DOOM game-play, of: dodge, shoot and murder, with pointless accounting. Every single mechanic that was added to this game that wasn't already there in DOOM 2016 is basically cool-down dependent tedium that just gets in the way. This is like DOOM 2016 if the DOOM slayer had to periodically take a break from killing a mancubus to do his taxes, take a piss, flame then chainsaw imp for ammo and armor, punch a random zombie for health, and then go back and do a bit more damage to the mancubus before running out of ammo. And then having to repeating the tedium all over again. The DOOM slayer can't just feed the ugly bastard a steady stream a missiles until it pops, like the in the good old days. No. First, shoot the fist guns, on each hand, because those are the first 2 "weak spots", then you can finish it off. Do it any other way and you run out of ammo, because all other parts of the body, other than the arbitrary weak spot, take almost no damage before the weak spot "check-boxes" are ticked off. This applies to all "big" monsters.

    DOOM 2016 gave you a problem, a box of tools, and then let you decide how to best murder everything. DOOM Eternal gives you a problem, a rusted, barely functional, set of tools, and a very rigid and convoluted procedure to follow. Try and use the tools any other way than for the intended "problem" (weak spot) and you realise your weapons are actually dollar-store water guns that shoot piss and glowing dog turds.

    There had to be better ways of raising the skill ceiling of the game without the boring MOBA cool-downs, and redundant rock-paper-scissors.    … Expand

    id software's mismanagement of the franchise's OST and music creator Mick Gordon is a disgrace and should be apologized for. Corporate culture is a cancer in general, but it seems it ate away id Software's integrity. The fans and the franchise deserves better than the current Id management. Marty Stratton should publicly apologize and resign. His behaviour is inexcusable.

    But this game is completely built around 3 mechanics that are not very shooter-like: The Chainsaw, Glory Kills and Platforming/finding secrets.
    It is so annoying and stupid that it destroys the whole game as a shooter. You literally have to chainsaw and glorykill your way through hordes of monsters and the whole game. You cant even use your weapons properly because they run out of ammo all the time. And so you always have to use the chainsaw and be bored of the not very diverse killing animations very quickly. Even after my first 5 kills I was already getting bored of this mechanic. Then you get a few bullets for maybe one or 2 kills, and then you gotta chainsaw again. And so on. Again and again. Ridiculously boring.
    And then of course Glory Kills. You gotta do them to stay alive because you get health back when you kill a monster, or you sometimes have to kill them with a glorykill to kill them quicker (because everyone knows that a fist to the face is much more powerful than a few bullets in said face). They are as boring as the chainsaw. But you gotta do them. Just like chainsaw kills. Youre forced to.
    Makes sense, doesnt it? No?
    Well then youre like me, and your game must at least make a little sense. Killing a monster with your weapons and not getting ammo from it... fine. But then killing it with the chainsaw and ammo literally (!!!) pops out of it like from a pinata?
    Yeeeeaaaahhh... no thanks.
    Lets get to the other gameplay then.

    Weapons can be upgraded. That sounds good and is actually fun. But as I said, you cant enjoy it for long because you run out of ammo all the time.
    And then theres the sounds of the weapons. All Doom games (except the last one, where it was similar like here) and even other shooters have the weapons dominate the game sound. Naturally weapons like those would be very loud, and thus sound very powerful. In some games I got goosebumps from only the weapon sounds alone. But here? They sound like toy guns. Their sounds are ridiculous and extremely low. Which brings me to the other sounds... or rather music:
    Extremely annoying comes to mind. I mean there are a few good tracks, but they dont last long. Most of the time you hear some weird ass scratching and screeching that is neither ambiance nor music. Its just annoying as hell! No pun intended.

    Platforming. Right. When youre not busy glorykilling and chainsawing away, while letting one or two bullets fly in between, you have to jump from one platform to the next and look for secrets. As simple as it is boring and annoying. Because secrets give you points that you then spend for upgrades. And btw, those upgrades are also ridiculous, because your character is overly artificially weak at the start because hes missing them. You literally feel much weaker than in the last games. For a long time. For example you maximum health is very low at the beginning and and can only carry extremely little ammo (16 shotgun shells and 60 bullets, for example).

    Finding those secrets sometimes gets really annoying when you spot a way to a secret (or another part of the map), but then discover that its not the real intended way and to make sure you dont use it, its blocked by a.... you guessed it, invisible wall. Happens quite often if you like to explore (which you have to if you want to find the secrets). Thats just pathetic for a modern game.

    The controls also feel very weird. Possibly because Bethesda decided to add something called "mouse sensitivity scaling". At first I thought its something like mouse acceleration, but when you turn it to 0.1 (the lowest), then you wont turn at all anymore. Must really be some form of sensitivity scaling, which really doesnt make any sense, because anything else than 1:1 on a shooter like that (or any game) is just stupid. But they dont make it in such an easy to understand scaling (1:1), they use decimals that dont make sense.

    You also have some citadel floating in space where you store your found secrets (easter eggs) and buy upgrades for your character.
    Thats all it does. Yet you can still get lost in it.
    Nothing impressed me there, because Ive been playing the old Doom games on and off on more modern engines, and see and hear everything they showcase there anytime I want without having to find it in some level.

    Ive been very disappointed by Bethesda games in the last few years. But this one pretty much seals it for me: I wont ever buy one of their games again, unless, for some reason, I am 100% sure that its a good game. And looking at their track record, I highly doubt that will ever happen again. Because for some reason enough people condone this raping of good old IPs and soulless gameplay. Not only in games, but also in series and movies.    … Expand

    Sure, graphics are stunning, but what good is it if you cannot enjoy the vistas because you are constantly bouncing around like Mario on steroids.
    Enemies are not scary anymore, they have been degraded to a parody of their former selves and look cartoonish: shoot a grenade into a cacodemon's open mouth and he'll gulp like a cartoon character before exploding. When you glory kill enemies, their eyes bug out like in Looney Toons. This is not DOOM anymore, it's a farce.

    "combat chess" is what they call it. I call it lame. I just want to shoot **** until it dies. I don't want to figure out a strategy. There's literally enemies in this game that are immune to certain weapons. In. A. Doom. Game.
    What? Seriously I can't count how many times where I had to stand around and look at an empty, boring level to figure out where the next **** jumping puzzle is. Or figure out where a switch was to open a door. This destroys the pacing.
    Also there's whole levels dedicated to lore. You know what I'm playing Doom for? It sure as **** isn't LORE. What happened to **** keycards and doors and corridors? You, know, like a DOOM Game? Why is there vast open levels with invisible walls and **** Why do I need puzzles and jumping hazards? I should NEVER die in a fps to jumping. EVER. I'll say this: the art direction is fantastic. The combat can be really fun, at times. It's just too few and far between.
    Also the PC version is really buggy! I've fallen through the level. I've seen let's players fall through the level. Enemies sometimes just vanish. I've seen enemies get stuck in the architecture and die. You're constantly getting tripped up or stuck on the walls during combat. It's also crashed on me multiple times since it requires an always online connection?!? WTF

    Doom 2016 is a much better experience, not I'm not saying everything Doom Eternal did is bad, it's just need to bring back one of the three elements from the 2016 Doom

    1.Increase the weapon damage to Doom 2016 level, or

    2.Increase the Ammo you can carry to Doom 2016 level, or

    3.Bring back power ups (Like Invincible rage that makes you actually ripping and tearing?)

    You can't deprive of your player weapon damage while limiting Ammo supply, that's game design 101, it's just not an enjoyable experience, you should only pick one, while this might makes the player more powerful, you can design so the enemy hits harder too, so when you die you don't feel like it's **** it's more like "Oh I didn't dodge that, my bad"

    Bringing back powerups can make huge encounters that sometimes lasts for 5~10 mins more manageable, you can spawn the power ups when you reach certain amount of kills, then you can rip and tear for a while then go back to dodging

    Just bringing back 1 of the 3 points I made would make the game for much more enjoyable, but alas, it's probably not gonna happen because more players seems to enjoy the way it is, if that's the case then I guess this series moving forward is just not my type of games anymore.    … Expand

The game also had a good story (not that anyone cares), amazing music, great visuals, and lots of fun little bonuses. The most important thing though: the pacing of the game is excellent. You constantly feel engaged, and your character growth feels good with upgrades giving a punch, the "work for it" mentality behind the ultimate unlocks is great, making you feel like you mastered something. The game starts you with plenty of ammo and doesn't overwhelm you with too much right away, slowly ramping things up as time goes on. When you first get introduced to each new demon type, it can be a bit overwhelming to deal with, especially in combination with others, and so you learn to deal with it, but then you grow in power and can just bulldoze over them.

    I bought Eternal. I played it for about 1-2 hours, having played through Doom 2016 several times, I had some expectations here. I think it's a very weak copy, like a mandatory "money printing machine" that has to be followed up with a weaker sequel, despite basically being the same game, but in Bethesda fashion, it has to be "upgraded" somehow. So to start, you're forced to make a Bethesda account. For a single player game. You're then treated to a game basically identical to 2016 graphically, but which runs much worse (an issue which ultimately forced me to stop playing). The most jarring thing you immediately notice is that you have almost half the ammo you start with in 2016, forcing a ton of chainsaw usage right away. Then shortly you're introduced to two heavy demons simultaneously without being given an upgrade of any kind: Cacodemons and Arachnotrons. Cacodemons are much less annoying in Eternal because they'll swallow a stickybomb and become staggered, otherwise they take a ton of ammo to kill. Arachnotrons are formidable, unless you land a stickybomb on their turret and disable their ranged attack. This is the technical gameplay change from 2016, and it interrupts the flow and pacing of the game significantly, on top of the constant positional, movement, and ammo interruptions.

    It already feels like a vastly inferior version of 2016. Then after a bunch of platforming and a few levels, you end up being introduced in a few mega fights that are larger than most in 2016 interspersed within huge lulls in anything interesting happening with yet more heavy enemies without significant upgrades. At this point it's evident you need to use the chainsaw to take out heavy enemies and rely on all of your equipment and mods to effectively deal with situations. The end result is you have 7 things you're constantly cycling through and dealing with, making combat extremely schizophrenic. It's overcomplicated for no reason, and this utterly destroys the beautiful simplicity that was managed in 2016.

    The story is worse, the pacing is awful, the progression is awful, the overcomplicated combat mechanics feel like some designer's dream of mixing ARPG elements into an arena shooter and it suffers for it, and there are completely out of place elements. Like you could've made a DOOM themed platformer, but instead it had to be slapped in there because "we have to add stuff." No, Bethesda, you don't. You really can just leave well enough alone. All you had to do was add more content, new music, some new enemy types, and freshen a few things up.

    The 3 is because the game retains a lot of nice things from 2016, but unfortunately it ruins the most important ones.    … Expand

How about this strategy - "press E for ammo, press C for health", does it sound smart to you?

You can shoot an explosive shot in a cacodemon's mouth only to drop in lava after you jump over to glory kill it. You have a blade on your arm but you're to stupid to use it during a melee attack. Remember how sometimes you got killed coming out of a glory kill in DOOM 2016? Well now that will happen more often since you have to glory kill certain enemies. Want to have a choice between weapon upgrades? Play another game then because there is a significantly better option per gun. Most of the runes are garbage. Find a site that tells you which 3 are the best. Want to run all over the place, jump and grapple ledges to avoid enemies? Don't count on it, you'll only back peddle over and over in the same circular pattern because if you don't you'll fall into lava. Get to close to any enemy and it has an insane melee attack which will one shot you. Except you have to get close to avoid shots from other enemies and because the arena is tiny.

    Honestly, I compare Eternal to DOOM 2016 in this review a lot. However, a remaster of DOOM 1 & 2 with Eternal's graphics would be a far better game than Eternal is.

    Also if this game is such a masterpiece offer refunds to anyone who hasn't beaten the game regardless of time played. If it's so good 90%+ of your sales won't request a refund.    … Expand

Throughout ETERNAL you'll find these weird looking walls ripped straight out of the last three TOMB RAIDER games that you can grapple onto, ballet posts are sticking out of walls that you need to grab and monkey-swing to floating platforms from. Some platforms have traps that rotate on chains, ripped straight out of SUPER MARIO. All this really does not make a lick of sense, but here it is and it is re-fking-tarded.
    Another shock was the 1 Up! pickup that gives you 1 life. SUPER MARIO coming full circle? Nah, thank God they didn't go that far, it's just an instant respawn when you die instead of being bumped back to the last checkpoint. Almost had me there, ID.
    Slapstick cartoonish monsters? WTF?! Eyes bug out in terror when you glory kill an imp.
    What's with all the neon colored BS. There's constantly something neon flashing on the screen, be it colorful pickups or LOW AMMO and LOW HEALTH flashing up on screen. Be prepared to have that BS constantly flashing, since ammo is scarce and enemies hit like Mack trucks. You don't find ammo in abundance or health pickups either, nooooo. You need to glory kill enemies or use your chainsaw for health pickups to spawn from fallen enemies. Oh, yeah, the chainsaw can only be used five times before it runs out of gas.
    The game has you constantly bouncing around like a hyperactive toddler who's drank 10 gallons of Coke.
    Now they added a story. A story in DOOM. And upgrading/crafting. You get mods for armor and weapons. And mods for those mods. WTF?!
    DOOM ETERNAL's level design is atrocious. And it's full of BS platforming. You're more a circus acrobat than some Space Marine in power armor.
    It's a pity, because ID's engine is impressive, the game's visuals are stunning, top-notch and I loved the soundtrack. A pity that you cannot marvel the vistas (or you're dead in seconds) and they went overboard with the flashing HUD, flashing enemies and neon pickups. And the platforming! That;s the worst part of the game. Seriously f*** that. And crafting/upgrading/mods in a first person shooter? That's a Texas-sized HELL NO!
    Thank God I could refund it. Hell, I'd rather play Capstone's 1994 OPERATION BODY COUNT than this garbage! If this is ID's new trend then that's it for me. No more ID games.    … Expand

    The gameplay is tedious, slower movement, no crouch, monotonous and cramped arenas, constant -forced-teleporting towards enemies to execute kills and refill ammo every few seconds. Badly designed platforming sections and vertical areas.
    The list goes on.. a story which they are trying to tell is told very poorly (as opposed to the much better minimalist approach from 2016), level and map designs are also a serious downgrade from 2016, graphics and artstyle , just the tone of the game in general are overly bright and cartoonish with hardly any convincing gore or horror elements to speak of. A Garish and obtrusive UI. The music score.. as one of the only remaining redeeming features, still somehow never seems to match the schizophrenic pace of the gameplay.. this time around.

    Eternal is overflowing with unnecessary gimmicks. Quantity over quality.

    After playing through Eternal, went straight back into the 2016 game to refresh my memory.. The difference is like night and day. Having played through 2016 multiple times, it is a far better game.

I can't even imagine trying the slayer gates, it seems like some kind of self punishment, I have zero desire to subject myself to that.

    Technically game runs great, no crashes, freezes, hitching, etc. Some issues with invisible walls and losing your cursor on intermission screens. All trivial things.

    The story feels like someone opened a book in the middle and, said start reading here. It feels like a hot mess. I don't mind the high fantasy-ish lore, but maybe Carmack was onto something when he said "Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important." Granted back then we didn't have ways to convey it like now, but come on, this is just too much. 2016 unloaded a well paced story line that was interesting and you could keep track of.

    Worst of all, and more to the point, it just feels like a chore. I just want to finish to say I didn't waste my money, but its getting old. I hate saying that, I've been a Doom fan since the shareware days. I am honestly disappointed in a way that is hard to convey properly in a review.

    Doom Eternal is basically Doom (2016) again but with more tedious platforming and without the ability to play how you want. You're forced to constantly switch weapons and mash melee attacks to ensure you have enough ammo and health to scrape by.

While the single player campaign is pretty fun, a lot of it seems very out-of-place for a Doom game. I'm mostly talking    Doom (2016) is quality over quantity, while Doom Eternal is the opposite.

    While the single player campaign is pretty fun, a lot of it seems very out-of-place for a Doom game. I'm mostly talking about the various things included in the platforming sections. Some of the milestones are also not working, and the multiplayer has a lot of issues, plus there's only one mode, which is asymetric and has one slayer against two demons.

    I'm also not a fan of this whole "season" thing where you need to earn enough XP during a specific time frame in order to unlock various aestethetical items such as weapon/slayer skins and multiplayer icons/titles.

    Anyway, I would probably rate Doom Eternal 5 if the multiplayer got fixed, and they remedied the various other issues such as the milestones, and possibly slightly higher if they got rid of the "season" part and added a DM/TDM online mode.    … Expand

    Fun, But An Overall Disappointment - save your money, and wait for a sale.

    First things first, I've been a massive Doom fanboy since the originals, and have loved playing Doom (yes, even Doom 3) throughout the decades. I was a HUGE fan of 2016 Doom, and thought they did nearly everything right - tone, presentation, game play loops, and mechanics.

    First things first, I've been a massive Doom fanboy since the originals, and have loved playing Doom (yes, even Doom 3) throughout the decades. I was a HUGE fan of 2016 Doom, and thought they did nearly everything right - tone, presentation, game play loops, and mechanics. I'm nearly finished with Doom Eternal on Nightmare difficulty, and have grown very accustomed to how different this game is from the previous title, and hoo-boy, it is very different. Which leads me to my next point -

    Doom Eternal is a big let down for me. Here's my thoughts why:

    TL,DR
    The game play, tone, art direction, and story changes are a step backwards from Doom 2016, and create an annoying, and just overall un-fun combat experience. The more I played, the less enjoyable each combat arena got, to the point where each one was approached with the mindset of just wanting to get it over with as fast as possible so I could get back to the actual fun parts of the game. I will finish the game, and I won't refund it since I did find some enjoyment out of it, but It's been a big enough let down that I found myself playing one level at a time of Eternal in between marathon sessions of Doom 2016. One of those games will continue to take up space on my hard drive. And it won't be Eternal.

    Pros:
    There's some good additions here, that really are a step above 2016 Doom:
    - Double dash, love it and feels great to use
    - Blood punch, feels fun to use
    - Destructible demons, adds some nice strategy to combat
    - Grenade launcher, flame cannon, ice bomb are fun t o use and serve a good purpose

    Cons:
    There's a good deal of them, and many stem from them pushing their "new" preferred play style waaaay too hard.

    Gameplay
    - Ammo is very scarce. I know you have a chainsaw, and that it auto refills, but you will find yourself running away from fights extremely frequently to find another fodder zombie to chainsaw for ammo.
    - Demons are massive bullet sponges unless you target their weak spots, and only if you do so with the "proper" gun. Using the scoped heavy rifle, or the sticky shotgun grenade, will insta-gib most enemies weak points and make them significantly easier to kill. Not a problem at first glance, but when you realize that trying to destroy an enemy's weak point with any other gun results in them tanking your entire ammo stack, you start to ask "what gives here?" It's incredibly inefficient to target weak points with anything but a select few guns, which leads to a very inconsistent feeling encounters with the same enemies.
    - Their desire to have you constantly swapping weapons, throwing grenades, chainsawing, and running around sounds good at first, but is taken to an un-enjoyable extreme here and very quickly feels more like a forced chore in micromanagement, rather than the game empowering you to WANT to use all those tools. Instead, it feels unnaturally forced.
    - Overall, the new combat loop and play style they're forcing has you running AWAY from combat to seek out some walking ammo zombie, health pod, or free space to switch to the specific weapon and mod the game wants you to use for an enemy than I ever did in Doom 2016, and that constant running and circling away from combat, instead of INTO combat, coupled with the lack of consistent ammo, and the fact that your health can get insta-dropped in one or two hits, made this game's Doom Guy feel like the exact opposite of a badass. If they wanted you to feel like a badass in Doom, this is not how to do it.

    Presentation and Story
    - Story is a mess, and takes place way to far removed from the first game. It almost feels like this is Doom 2016's "Far Cry: Blood Dragon"
    - Art direction and overall tonality of the game are drastically different. If you like the tone and style of Doom (the originals or the 2016 version) this won't be for you. This is much, much more tongue-in-cheek, Serious Sam than Doom, and feels more like an Arcade bullet hell shooter than a true Doom game.
    - UI is garbage, and difficult to read / navigate    … Expand

Doom 2016 was one of the best first person shooters I've ever played and sits alongside the original Doom and Quake, so I was expecting big things for Doom Eternal. However what was delivered is honestly a mixed bag. (I played Doom Eternal on Ultra Violence)

    The positives: -At times some of the most intense, fast paced FPS action delivered in    I wanted to love this game I really did.

However what was delivered is honestly a mixed bag. (I played Doom Eternal on Ultra Violence)

    The positives:
    -At times some of the most intense, fast paced FPS action delivered in years.
    -Amazing visuals, level design, great sound design.
    -Some great homages to the original Doom games.
    -Glory kills.

    The negatives:
    -The MARAUDERS. Easily the most frustrating and game breaking enemy I've ever had the displeasure of battling in a game. When you encounter one as a boss you think that's it but these guys later show up as regular enemies in the game. I have beaten Doom 2016 on Nightmare, Metro Exodus on Ranger Hardcore, Devil May Cry on Dante Must Die mode and none compare to the sheer frustration of encountering a Marauder on Doom Eternal. A Marauder makes almost every weapon in your arsenal almost useless and he can block a BFG blast. That's right. A NORMAL non-Boss enemy in a Doom game making the mother of all guns the BFG useless. Expect to die at least 10 times plus whenever one of these Marauders shows up. Expect to have your progress halted and the entire fast paced, fluid flow of Doom Slayer chaos reduced to a stall. The demons are supposed to fear the Doom Slayer yet I honestly end up fearing the Marauder for the frustration he is about to bring upon my game. That's NOT what Doom is supposed to be about. I replayed Doom 2016 several times, sadly I will not be replaying Doom Eternal, mainly because of these game breaking Marauders. Whoever thought the Marauder was a good idea was wrong. Easily the WORST enemy in a Doom game period. Fine for a boss, terrible for a regular enemy.

    -Platforming. Is this an Doom game or a Crash Bandicoot game? At times it feels more like the latter with multiple platforming sections which again slow the game to a stall, become frustrating and involve no demon killing. I want to shoot demons not swing on poles and climb walls. I wanted a First Person Shooter not a platformer. Some mild platforming is fine but Doom Eternal has too much.

    In conclusion: A mixed bag. At times Doom Eternal feels like the best of Doom and Quake 3 mashed together which is simply amazing yet it is too punctuated with enthusiasm killing enemies (MARAUDER) and platforming sections for Doom Eternal to rise to the top and reach first person shooter nirvana. Don't believe all the paid critic hype. Play for yourself and see.    … Expand

    4/10 (I would give it a 7 if I could, but I cannot play this game properly if I don't have a single **** bullet)
    I HOPE ID GIVES REFUND TO ALL THE PLAYERS THAT FOUND AMMO SO SCARCE    … Expand

    The game is boring as hell. the graphics is cartoonish and somewhat empty and gives synthetic feeling of the surroundings. Thus you cannot feel the pain you inflicted on enemies.
    Music is crap, it is so bad that you cannot sacrifice your ears to give the game a chance to live.

    Everything is made so you cannot feel any pleasure of being an unstoppable sea of brutal carnage.
    Bethesda is full of mistakes lately. Fallout 76 is a mockery and humiliation on the series. Wolfenstien young blood is a crap. I hope they will not spoil next elderscroll.
    Is it difficult to ask the players what they need before spending development money on all this ****
    Or is it always profitable, no matter what kind of **** you produce? I hope steam refund system will return you to doing good product. And I hope 10ish simple and blank ratings on metacritic that you can afford to buy will not allow you to do otherwise.    … Expand

    Pros:
    Art

    Cons:
    Arcade gameplay, stupid storyline, arenas but not levels, more like a fanboy game, than a serious FPS.

    I really had high hopes that this game would bring back "the good old days" of gaming. How wrong I was.

    It feels like the devs didn't know how to make a sequel to the fantastic Doom 2016 game. If you're expecting a continuation of Doom 2016, you'll be in for a surprise. Doom Eternal throws you into the story as though you've been sleeping for 20 - 30 years since Doom 2016.

    Doom Eternal throws you into the story as though you've been sleeping for 20 - 30 years since Doom 2016. You're on this island/spaceship thing which brings up a few questions: how'd it get there? How'd you take ownership of it? Etc.

    The repetitive nonsensical "shoot a few times, then melee/chainsaw" gets boring -fast-. Not to mention, you can't strictly go around melee killing the enemies (aka no shooting first). it simply doesn't work.

    The maps are all sorts of confusing and messes up the game's pacing quite a bit. Especially with pipe swinging and wall climbing feeling really out of place in a Doom game.

    The random almost unnecessary cutscenes for unlocked doors or random conversations with some random baddies are dull and over used (almost feels like filler to make the game longer).

    Weapon play feels alright, but mods feel like there should be some different system for managing them. The upgrade bots feel so out of place.

    Enemies look cartoon-like and they seem to have a crazy reach when being swung/bit at from a distance. With so many enemies in a specific area, the game drags on as you kill your way through with no satisfaction because you've only had to kill the last hundred demons using the slightly similar death action over and over again.

    The music doesn't do the game any favors either. It is horrendous and over exerts itself into the game. It's just being metal for the same sake of being in a Doom game.

    Overall, Doom Eternal disappoints in a hurtful way. Doom for me is about being a game where you get nostalgic about how far games have come. Instead, you feel betrayed that the hype is just that; hype. Regardless of what the media or paid sponsored YouTubers/Streamers think, I for one do not like the direction this game took and refunded my money.    … Expand

    The murderous amok simulator returns and is even more furious than before. Fantastic presentation and great fighting system are harmed only by annoying platforming sequences. [Issue#302]

    If you're looking for a deep and thought-provoking gaming experience that changes your outlook on life, look elsewhere. 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. It's a hell of a good time.

    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.
