    You can't use a fire grapple hook double barrel shot gun in Bugs Life Activity Centre so if that doesn't convince you to buy it I don't know what will.

    I enjoyed it as much as the first classic Dooom.
    The difficulty, soundtrack, weapons and enemies are perfect.
    One of my all time favorite games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone is talking about DOOM 2016
    Let me tell you that game is trash.
    All you have to do in that game is......shoot.
    No weakpoints, nothing!
    Oh and it is full of glitches
    I once gut stuck in the FLOOR and I died
    Then I saw a demon get stuck in the wall
    I did not even like the music there
    That game is dead.
    It makes you feel like YOU are the prey in that game, not the demons
    In DOOM Eternal you kill demons without even realizing it!

    A lot has already been said on why this game is masterpiece of an action game. This post is for new players and debunking the garbage negative reviews and lies on this site. I've never seen a game have such weak and poor takes against it like Doom Eternal.

    1. Hating on this game for having a more cartoony artstyle really? Doom was never a serious series until Doom 64 and Doom 3. The    A lot has already been said on why this game is masterpiece of an action game. This post is for new players and debunking the garbage negative reviews and lies on this site. I've never seen a game have such weak and poor takes against it like Doom Eternal.

    1. Hating on this game for having a more cartoony artstyle really? Doom was never a serious series until Doom 64 and Doom 3. The enemy designs and art style is paying homage to Doom 2 you stupid morons.

    2. Second is the muh low ammo. Yes in the start of the you have a low ammo count. The game is trying to teach you to be more cautious about burning ammo like a brain dead moron and is nudging you to basic weapon switching. The game also is guiding you to target weakpoints of enemies. None of this is mandatory its just the game teaching you this stuff in the start of the game hoping that you learn these lessons later in the game. You can still beat this game on Nightmare spamming 2 of the same guns later on but the start of the game really tries discourage players from doing that because that is objectively a boring stupid way to play. You can also brute weapon switch against enemies and never need to target weakpoints because of the insane damage output you can give to enemies. The game has very high skill gap which is a sign of very well designed combat system something you don't see in most games. Once you upgrade ammo, Praetor Suit points in Explosive Piñatas(get ammo from explosive barrels) and Thicker Skin(damage resistance from barrels) this game floods the player with ammo. So this complaint is obviously from people who never actually played much of this game. Also one Chainsaw pip will always regenerate and levels will always have ammo or fodder zombies around.

    3. The game forces me to play one way. This is a lie. This game actually has soo many different weapon mod combos and playstyles its actually crazy. Doom youtubers like Under the Mayo still is finding new weapon mod combos 1 year after the games launch.

    4. Muh platforming and puzzles. Doom 1 and Doom 2 had platforming and puzzles. Admittedly these games had simple forms of platforms and puzzles due to nature of them being not real 3D games. It wasn't until Quake 1 did id implement vertical platforming. John Cormack and John Romero would have 100% made a level like Nekravol if they had the tech to do it in the 90s. I also don't get it. So do you morons really think walking in a boring corridor for 5 mins is better than more complex jumping puzzles? The platforming is honestly really easy and breeze. The fact that there a people that struggled with it is sad. The purpose of it was to give players a break from the combat(which there is a lot of in this game), allow for more complex level design, and to sharpen the players air maneuverability skills for the large arenas in the game.    … Expand

I don't normal care about negative reviews on here but the ones for this game are misleading, lies and all sound like they are from the same dozen trolls making different accounts its pathetic and laughable. Anyways for new players reading this let me counter the awful lies the trolls here spewing. This game does not have no ammo. 180 machine gun, 24 shotgun, 13 rockets, 250 plasma are more than enough for average fps player to handle. As long as you aren't just spamming one gun and using all the weapons you will never constantly run out of ammo. The last fuel pip of the chainsaw infinitely will regen every 20 seconds and every single arena fight in this game will have chainsawble enemies to insure you will never run out of ammo ever. The game teaches you this is in very start and it doesn't take rocket scientist to figure this out. Arena and levels also have generous ammo pickups scattered and plus you can also get ammo from explosive barrels when you unlock Explosive Piñatas Praetor Suit upgrade. As for platforming I find it insane how someone would complain about something so trivial, easy and quick to complete. The platforming is fun and movement is awesome. I never see you trolls attack Titanfall 2 for doing the same exact thing. Doom 2016 also had a lot of jumping and platforming but I guess these trolls never beat that game to reach Argent Energy Tower level. Failing the platforming in that game meant instant death and you had to reload entire checkpoint. Eternal it takes some health and puts you back to the spot you f-up on. If you want a fun twitch movement arena shooter Eternal is the best game on the market along with Titanfall 2.… Expand

The work of the audio team brings the same energy and style that they brought to 2016, there are very few games whose music can count itself among my general listening playlist, and this is a proud addition to that.

    When the time comes to look back on the top games of the decade, I expect DOOM Eternal to be a prominent entry.

    While constantly moving to avoid a certain death, you have to think about shooting, about using your chainsaw to refill your ammo, about using your flamethrower to get back some armor and about which weapon to use and how to use it in order to be the most proficient slayer as possible.
    And I deliberately didn't mention many other gameplay details, so you don't think it's overwhelming. Because it's not, the game teaches you to master all those things progressively.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Campaign:

    The Gameplay is a gigantic improvement over DOOM 2016. In DOOM 2016 I felt like I was just shooting enemies until they flashed. In DOOM Eternal, with the new destructible demons mechanic first mentioned at QuakeCon 2018, it tells you (visually) that you are actually dealing damage, and it's oddly satisfying.
    Since there are multiple weapon mods for multiple weapons, you can mix/match them to perfect your playstyle

    The basic core of DOOM Eternal's gameplay is, Flame belch for armor, chainsaw for ammo, and glory kill for health. You have to constantly keep track of these important aspects on your HUD, otherwise you won't make it really far. There's another new mechanic that makes you faster, known as "dashing", this is for avoiding enemy fire or to get out of a danger zone. Keeping track of these statistics and staying on the move will help you survive, a LOT. And by doing so, you will have a lot of fun in this fast-paced action, blood-boiling and adrenaline-fueling game.

    Personally the base-campaign story (not the codex entrys) is kinda "meh" for me, compared to DOOM 2016's. Samuel hayden and VEGA have been overwritten to expository dialogue, and now its just like the whole summary of the story is "it is your people's time now to give penance, just as it was mine" which if you ask me, sounds like a whole lot of demon propaganda.
    Overall the story is up to your interpretation, this was just my view. But you should definitely give the codex entries a read, they're a lot better than most dialogue.

    And as well, in DOOM 2016 you had tons of DOOM guy collectibles, well now every demon has their own collectible (also there's 1 doomslayer collectible) which are really cute toys found around the campaign and you can view the ones you collected in the Fortress of DOOM, for those who like exploring outside the main path to progress.

    Man, don't get me started on the environmentals. In DOOM 2016 and also the previous games, we were only really set in mars and hell. I'm glad ID Software decided to flesh out the environments some more, and maps like Urdak are stunning, because Mars and Hell were getting pretty stale (this includes dlc environments too), and I'm so glad because we actually get to visit places we've never been before in a DOOM game.

    They even decided to bring the old art style of old enemies, such as the soldier / shield soldier, which I'm glad they did. I was not a fan of DOOM 2016's enemy design at all. Thanks again ID.

    Multiplayer:
    Overall, DOOM 2016's multiplayer had a lot more variety. Such as team deathmatch and various other modes.Compared to DOOM Eternal with battlemode being the only (current) multiplayer mode, I doubt DOOM Eternal's community side will live long, it's the only mode and it's just a mode with 2 player demons vs 1 slayer. And a lot of people are REALLY waiting on Invasion, which was announced that it would be at launch but it was unfortunately delayed because of COVID (correct me if I'm wrong).
    And with the removal of snapmap, a god-like map editing and ai-implementing system (similar to Halo's FORGE mode), the community can't really share their own content. Which is unfortunate, but man, just the thought of how big maps could be, COOP, etc. The possibilities would've been limitless. Especially when you compare a DOOM Eternal campaign map size to 2016's.

    Campaign DLC (Story) (SPOILERS AHEAD):

    Man, those endings (of both dlc 1 and 2) were some plot-twists. Personally I liked what DLC 1 had going as VEGA being the father because he was your homie the past 2 games, and now in DLC 2 it's just a "Davoth (Satan) is God" kind of thing. Which is weird but, ID you do you. Like I said before, it's all just personal preference.
    The gameplay was extended even further beyond, especially with the Hellbreaker (betrayer's axe) and more enemies (though most were just reskinned enemies with different abilities, like the chaingunner being brought back (reskin of shield soldier), and other odd enemies such as the turret.
    It's even more adrenaline-fueling when you're playing the DLC's for the first time, because new enemies such as the spirit are gonna make you go on an acid trip.

    The singleplayer experience of this game makes it worth the $60    … Expand

    Distinctive Combat Style and Remarkable levels filled with hand-crafted arenas. The closest Quake/Unreal tournament grindset you can ever get in 2020 plus incredible art style, sound design and oh man how I should describle the soundtrack. This is the most overlooked game in 2020. Super contender for GOTY instead of TLOU2.

    In my opinion this game is the best game in the DOOM saga. his forte is combat, the most frenetic in the history of these mythical games. but, although DOOM has never had much of a history, this title is responsible for closing several gion holes caused by DOOM 2016. people say that the marauder is very hard to kill but that's the fun, the marauder is an enemy just like you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really considering giving this game a 9 because of my personal preferences, however, I decided not to. This game is, I kid you not, probably the best game I've ever played, apart from Halo 3 or Dark Souls.

    First of all, the game play. The game play is ABSOLUTELY the best part of this game. In the 2016 DooM, the plasma rifle and the rocket launcher felt sort of... Just unlikable to me. Not in DooM Eternal, though! In DooM Eternal every single gun, every single weapon feels amazing to use. The Combat Shotgun at the start of the game is a lot weaker than the one in 2016, where you could shoot an imp in the foot and he would stagger, in this game you're required to get actual good shots on the demons, usually it's just a chest shot and a foot shot for a stagger, but that's 2 shots, out of like 15 shots at the start of the game. I'll skip most of the other weapons and just say that they are WAY weaker than their versions in DooM 2016, however I believe that's a good thing, as it makes you rely on your chainsaw a lot more, which is back again with some of the most satisfying and best kill animations in the game. There are of course, other weapons. The first other weapon you'll get is the grenade, which, unlike in DooM 2016, is far more required. The other weapon is the freeze grenade, this just freezes demon and I honestly just like it a lot. One of the last weapons you get is the Crucible, I love this thing. I love how rare the... Ammo? For it is, and how powerful, quick and strong it is. You've probably noticed a theme in this review of gameplay, which is that the ammo is a lot more scarce and guns are worse in terms of damage, which I think is a good thing. This isn't like DooM 2016, where the game gives you a power fantasy, in DooM Eternal, you earn the power fantasy. DooM Eternal is a lot more difficult, requiring better aim, precision and reflexes and it requires you to switch weapons in order to survive, and I've noticed that A LOT of people hate that, and I can see their point, but I personally love it. This isn't an easy game, it's very difficult, if you don't like that, then don't get it.

    Next, the enemies in the game. They're just amazing, but I mainly want to talk about the Marauder, because he has caused a lot of controversy, but I will TRY to explain why I think he's one of, if not the best demon in DooM Eternal. First, lets talk about his move set, it seems easy to learn, but it's super hard to master. He has a close range shotgun, a middle range attack that flashes green for a bit, and a long range axe swing. One thing that a lot of people don't notice, is that he doesn't just use his flashing attack at mid range, he uses it after he becomes an Olympic runner and runs up to you. He can do that at any range, mid range is simply the most likely. He is the enemy that effectively turns the game into a horror game when you turn around and see him. Also, something a lot of people don't seem to do, is attack after you do a partial stagger after his flashing attack, see, if you successfully hit him with something like a shotgun, he goes back for a second, this lets you use a variety of attacks, a sticky bomb, grenade launcher, but I like to use the Ballista. So, to deal double damage to him, hit him with a super shotgun, then quickly follow with a Ballista.

    Next, the story.
    Just don't. I'll admit this game tries way harder than DooM 2016 with the story, but it sort of fails. But while it did fail, why are you playing DooM for the story? This is a man who says "Rip and tear your guts! You are huge! That means you have huge guts! RIP AND TEAR!" If you don't like the story, hold down R.

    Next, the graphics.
    This game has stunning graphics, and it runs very well, too. Although it is kind of annoying that the texture filtering is apparently so detrimental to the game, I mean, I've never had it above like the second highest setting, and this is on a RTX 2060 on 2560x1440. To summarize, graphics are very good.

    Finally, I have to address many of the games complaints. 1st, the guns. This game does NOT force you to use any guns, you have a choice, use the effective weapon, or the one that's ineffective. This is something called difficulty and challenge. If you don't want that, and want to use the shotgun for every single enemy, even the Doom Hunters, good luck. This isn't an easy game, for gods sake, stop thinking it is, if you want it to be, turn the difficulty down! 2nd, the platforming. Oh boy... Why do people hate it?! It's great, there's honestly not much of it, especially not in the later levels, and even though there is quite a few of them at the start, it's fun! 3rd, the puzzles. I'll agree with this claim, I don't really like them. They're easy, however they are quick, easy and honestly more of a nuisance.

    To conclude, this game is not easy, especially on harder difficulties. This game is hard, the end.

    Also, I'm angry punches are useless. BTW the music is so amazing!    … Expand

    I really enjoyed doom 2016 and I was extremely excited for doom eternal. It did not disappoint. It was fun from starting the first level to the final boss fight. If you just wanted to have mindless fun. This isn't for you. It requires to change your strategy if the way you are playing isn't work. It forces to become better.

It changes it up from doom 2016 where you almost never needed to think about ammo, That's the main thing going for this game. You need to fully think about your approach to it. You need to be open to facing difficulty. The marauder is good example. He was difficult my first time fighting him. But once I realized I can't just go in and expecting to pump several double barrel shotgun shoots in his face I got through it. Instead of pumping a few shots in the mancubus with the double barrel like the doom 2016. It's smart to first freeze him, use the sticky bombs to disable his flame thrower and then pump several shots into him. It's way more fun to traverse around the arena. Such as the yellow pipes you can use it to move around and then use the meat hook to grapple your way to an imp and then proceed to use the chainsaw. I also generally believe it the level design is way better than doom 2016. Overall an extremely fun entry into the series. I would totally recommend.… Expand

    Overall, Doom Eternal is very satisfying to play. There are a few blemishes, such as moving slabs when you're platforming and purple goo that is just there to cripple your movement but, on the whole, moving around in the heat of battle can be very rhythmic and heart pumping.

    One thing the game definitely improves over Doom 2016 is the aesthetic. Doom 2016 wasn't terrible, by any means, but a lot of the environments leaned on the generic side, especially the Hell levels. Doom Eternal, by contrast, cranks up the insanity factor which makes it seem closer to the Classic Dooms that were made to be abstract and goofy.

    The plot probably won't win any writing awards, but it serves the purpose well enough and it was interesting to hear what the Doom Slayer actually sounds like. VEGA is always a delight to listen to, and you can always skip most of the cutscenes if you really want to just get into the action. The little nods and winks to Classic Dooms, including being able to play Dooms 1 and 2 on the Slayer's retro PC, were also very nice touches.

    Overall, a surprisingly nice upgrade over Doom 2016, even if it doesn't always hit every mark perfectly.    … Expand

    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.
