    It's not often that I leave a review on a game, it is usually only when it does something really well, or really poorly. I am sure you can guess which one here.

    Doom Eternal was a nice break from playing so many half finished games out today. Not much to say other than how smooth and bug free the experience was.

The combat loop they started working on in 2016 has now been expanded upon and fully mastered, with every weapon and mod having some sort of use. Weak points, flame belch, ice bomb, grenades, blood punch, all the weapons and mods; it all combines into a chaotic whirlwind of enjoyment, especially when you actually get good at the game. That's not to mention the wide variety of demons, each with their own quirks that spice up the gameplay in their own way, and each having specific things to target in order to take them out faster, which further encourages getting even more in-depth with the game's systems. Even the platforming adds to the experience: teaching you how to better use movement during combat while at the same time giving you a nice break between arenas. This is a big change from 2016, where you simply walked between areas, taking an elevator here and there, and it's a change I greatly welcome.… Expand

    Doom is a fast FPS shooter where you can enjoy the feeling of killing demons. It will make your hart pump. Most of the time you are running from a hord of demons while shooting at others simultaneously. You have to learn all the weak points of the demons if you want to beat the levels on higher difficulty.

    I hear a lot of people call Doom Eternal inflexible, and I don't think that's very fair or accurate, how flexible it is really depends on your pride and your ability to utilize the options that are laid out before you.

I also turned    I hear a lot of people call Doom Eternal inflexible, and I don't think that's very fair or accurate, how flexible it is really depends on your pride and your ability to utilize the options that are laid out before you.

    The first time I played through Doom Eternal, I picked Ultra Violence because I thought "yeah I've played Doom before and that's the best Doom difficulty". I also turned off tutorials because from a YouTube review I heard they were frequent and annoying, and I had played so many id software games in the past I was confident in my ability to just pick it up and play it.

    I eventually turned the tutorials back on when I got my ass kicked by the Arachnotron for the 5th time without realizing the turret was a weak point. I didn't wanna miss out on any info like that again, and while I'd say my experience with the game was decently fun after that, I still felt like I was missing something, and like the game wasn't clicking with me.

    I liked the over the top story and bombastic level design that was much more dynamic and varied than Doom 2016, but in terms of combat I always felt like I was a few steps out of pace with Doom Eternal on my first playthrough.

    I think this is mostly due to the fact that the Ultra Violence difficulty is rather unforgiving, and that's not a bad thing, it's just rather demoralizing for beginners at the game who need to learn the mechanics. It's hard to learn those mechanics when you're constantly on edge and constantly at risk of dying due to the fact one wrong move can entirely throw you off, and considering Ultra Violence is most people's go to Doom difficulty I can see how so many people tried it and were instantly turned off, thinking there was something wrong with the game.

    Personally, my biggest problem was I found myself using a lot of the same abilities and weapons to do everything. Everytime I saw a weak point I'd use the heavy cannon scope and only the heavy cannon scope to take it out, never using the sticky bombs, heat blast, ballista, etc.

    I wouldn't use a lot of the new abilities like the blood punch, ice bombs, grenades, etc. It was too overwhelming to think about in the middle of the incredibly heated battles. The things is Doom Eternal is flexible enough to let you play it this way, you can beat it but it's not very fun to do so. But still, I managed to struggle through the game on my first playthrough, constantly on edge and never learning anything, by the time I beat it, I was glad I had but I didn't feel very accomplished. In fact I felt kind of demoralized.

    I leaned later that my greatest mistake was never lowering the difficulty and giving myself more room to breathe. When I finally played the game again a year later, I finally chose Hurt Me Plenty on the difficulty settings because my pride in playing that difficulty had definitely been shattered by that point and I just didn't give a ♥♥♥♥ anymore, wasn't like anyone could see me.

    The thing is Hurt Me Plenty in classic Doom was pitiful, there were way less enemies making levels feel rather empty which leads to it generally being shunned across all Doom game's by the community, but what a lot of people don't know is Hurt Me Plenty in Doom Eternal is just a normal difficulty in any other game, it's the exact same enemy count and placements, just with less damage output and a little bit less punishment for not reacting fast enough.

    When I finally chose HMP, I finally had that room to breathe and it allowed me to get more creative with my playstyle, and just like that the game finally clicked with me. I started using Doomguy's entire arsenal, and learned how to utilize Doom Eternal's mechanics in satisfying ways that made me feel smart for figuring them out, it fully immersed me in it's combat puzzle.

    When I came back to the Ultra Violence difficulty, despite playing on an easier difficulty earlier, I had learned enough from that more easygoing mode that I was finally good at the game, and I managed to beat it in one go in Extra Lives mode, and while it was no Ultra Nightmare playthrough, it's one of the most satisfying experiences I've had in a video game.

    So my recommendation to new players is turn that difficulty down, use those cheat codes, do anything that makes the experience more fun and easygoing and your playstyle will begin to show itself naturally, don't force yourself to go in hard due to pride, this is a very different game than any FPS out there and you just gotta have fun with it. When you do that and fully utilize the options it gives you to tweak the game to your experience, it's not only not inflexible, it's one of the most flexible and fun experiences you can have with an FPS game. id Software knocked it out of the park. As I type this I am currently playing through my first Nightmare playthrough and I can officially say I'm addicted now.    … Expand

    Full Thoughts:
    Doom Eternal is the best feeling and designed first person shooter that I have probably ever played. The combat has immense depth to it while maintaining the simplicity of move and shoot. The combat of the game has taken everything about what made Doom 2016 a fantastic game and ramped it up to 11. No longer do you simply sprint around the battlefield and arbitrarily shoot demons until they die but not each weapon has a unique purpose in efficiently dealing with a specific demon. Id has turned the fast paced action and turned it into a unique puzzle that you most likely wont find in another game. The game has so much depth and fantastic replayability. The multiplayer isnt fantastic but is a fun unique arena shooter experience in its own right. I have completed the base game with defeating all 6 slayer gates and completed both DLC's. I have gotten nothing but euphoria from this game and each challenge is difficult and thrilling.

    What Holds the Game Back:
    This is not a casual game at all. If you are looking for something that you can sit back and not really pay attention to this game is not for you. Additionally, the game is very unforgiving on its difficulty you will not complete this game without putting a good amount of focus and effort into. You have to learn the combat systems and learn how to move, shoot, and glorykill very efficiently.

    Closing Remarks:
    A perfect score does not mean a perfect game. My scoring of a 10/10 reflects that this game is the shining gold standard of its genre. In the future I will compare almost every shooter I play to Doom Eternal. This game sets the bar high for what can be achieved in first person shooters in our day and age and I'm very excited for what Id will cook up now that they are finished with the story of the slayer.    … Expand

    Contrary to initial impressions, DOOM Eternal is not an action game; it is a puzzle game. Where a casual observer might watch high-level gameplay and only see the flurry of bullets and cacaphony of targets whizzing by the screen, the player sees a totally different picture.

Where a casual observer might watch high-level gameplay and only see the flurry of bullets and cacaphony of targets whizzing by the screen, the player sees a totally different picture.

    Instead of just seeing targets, they see priorities. Instead of just dodging, they're thinking about the order of their actions, which resources to manage, how to most effectively keep them up, when to engage, when to run, and who to kill first. Every encounter is like a new puzzle to solve.

    Every arena consists of two categories of enemies; fodder, and heavies. Fodder enemies, typically imps, soldiers, and gargyoles, are hardly threats. They have small health pools, make little effort to dodge your attacks, and generally go down in a few small-arms shots. However, they serve a different purpose; they are easy prey to use your various resource-management abilities on. Use a glory kill on one to get health back, use a chainsaw to get ammo, or use the flame belch to get armor. Because these enemies are quick to kill, respawn indefinitely, and pose little threat, they exist not as targets, but as resource nodes to fall back on after running your guns dry, or getting low on health and armor. No; in a given arena, the real threat are the heavies.

    The heavies and super heavies are the real center of an arena. Unlike fodder, they have much larger health pools, more mobility, and generally much more dangerous attacks. The doomslayer's priority on entering any arena is killing the heavies as fast as possible. Doing so is not always so cut and dry; each heavy usually has a unique weakness or strategy to exploit, with which the doomslayer must respond to accordingly: cacodemons can be made to swallow a sticky bomb with precise timing, staggering them instantly; the hell knight has a particular weakness to the chaingun, making him falter more than any other weapon; and the most contentious enemy of all, the marauder, must be fought one-on-one in a very particular manner, countering his attacks and staying at a specific range. Taking all of this into account while fighting the heavies, as well as considering your ammo, health, and armor, and where the nearest fodder enemies are should you need to temporarily retreat and restock, makes up the bulk of the game's combat loop. Mess up once on nightmare, and you're a dead doomslayer.

    That's not to say you don't need a good base in FPS skill to play this game well; actually hitting your targets is just as important as knowing which targets to shoot. That skill floor might put off some less experienced fps players. But if you think you can handle it, the challenge DOOM Eternal presents is well worth it.    … Expand

    If you like feeling like a complete and udder badass making demons cry at the mere mention of your name, then get this game. However, one thing i must add is even though the game offers a very good challenge on its hardest difficulty, once you beat it you are basically done with the game. Its a one and done type of game however offers a very good experience.

    Good old doom, good soundtrack, graphics. As John Carmack said, “The plot in the game is like the plot in a porn film. It should be, but it is not at all important "but it appeared and I thought that the plot would be bad, but I was very wrong, it turned out to be very deep and confusing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the fps of genre, you better listen to this you p*ssy. DOOM Eternal is my another favorite single-player fps, and i'm in love replaying this over 4 times already. DOOM Eternal take place after DOOM 2016 ending (I'm not going to spoiled it, go see for yourself and play DOOM 2016 what is happening at the ending) over 66% has been consumed by the demons. DOOM Guy and VEGA going to work their way and Rip and Tear. The intro is already a badass. The game go straight right in to the action. No more bullsh*t pistol. Pistol is ruining the pacing on DOOM 2016. In DOOM Eternal, you start with the Shotgun right away and go for 1, 2, 3 shot at the Zombies faces. And then, there is the chainsaw. Chainsaw has a ability to drop shotgun ammo, heavy ammo, cells ammo, and rocket ammo. I don't know why people are complain about ammo because of the shotgun clip size was originally for 20-30-40-50-60 max from DOOM 2016. DOOM Eternal's shotgun clip size will give you 16-18-20-22-24. In my opinion, id Software did a good job balancing the game and not to give this game more repetitive. It was a good changes. I don't want to hear you guys give a sh*t about an ammo changes! Press C for ammo bi*ch! Character model has been overhaul for the Classic DOOM looking. example for Soldier have bright orange eyes and dye green hair. Cacodemon blood was originally from red blood to blue blood. New and return of the enemy from DOOM 2016 : Lost Soul, Hell Knight, Baron of Hell, Mancubus, Cyber-Mancubus, Imp, Soldier, Cacodemon, Pinky, Spectre, Cyberdemon (was renamed for Tyrent), Cueball, Prowler (from the multiplayer of DOOM 2016 and now he was from the actual the first time in single-player) and Revenant . The return of the demon: Archvile, Pain Elemental and Arachnotorn. BUT WAIT I'M NOT DONE YET! There is new demon in this game. Carcass, Gargoyle, Whiplash, Dread Knight, Mecha Zombies and Mayker Drone. We are on to boss fight you encounter: Doom Hunter, Gladiator, Khan Mayker and the gigantic Icon of Sin. I forgot something I'm I? Oh yeah. Marauder, this is the only enemy can hurt the pacing if you are new to DOOM Eternal. He can dash, summon a wolf. deploying his shield for his arm, throwing axes, and shotgun if you stand to close. For real, he can kick your a**. He is tough and annoying. Expert DOOM Eternal player like me. You have to keep Marauder at mid range until eyes flash green so you can deal damage to him. Marauder can even block your shot, I mean like block everything, he also dash way if you throw a grenade and ice bomb (… Expand

    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

The arachnotron (spidey thing) was a challenge one of the first big enemies, 20 hours in and I crush it. Same thing with the maurauder as soon as you learn how to bait his vulnerability state/attack move he becomes easy and then when you learn how to quick weapon switch he is done. His wolf will be no issue after your aim and timing is dialed in.

    I really enjoy the collectibles. You can get a suit upgrade which shows you the locations of them. This negates the need for a tedious Youtube Video or not if you can't solve the puzzle.

    The parkours are hard at first small deviations from the required movement lead to failure but latter your timing is right and you will swing like tarzan. These pakours also help later in combat. They learn you how to move correctly and how to don't miss a ledge.

    It is time for a review!

    Should you buy this? Yes, overall it is Doom.
    Price might be a little bit high but it gets decent on sales.

    Okay let's get to the point!

    PC Requirements: Decent (At least 3gb GPU and a decent CPU)

    Graphics: Graphics are nice! Comparing Lowest and Highest graphics they look similar
    like a difference between 2 graphic options next to each other in an order. What actually changes is
    lighting quality, reflections etc. (which can be up to 6,7gb vram starting from 2.7gb vram)

    Sound design: All I can say is BEST MUSICS and Most seducing death, slaying, demon (and more) sounds

    Bugs, Glitches: There might be some that people encountered before but I finished the game peacefully
    in my both 2 gameplays.

    Load times: it is not instant load, but it is nice.

    Story: They tried to do something, good cinematics and plenty of opportunities to see the Doomguy.

    How long? 25 hours

    Gameplay: it is nice and Fun beside some anger issues sometimes for some levels, but you must be more
    tactical instead for just shooting around like you have to first destroy guns of demons, make cacodemons eat
    bombs or use specific weapons on specific demons. Always have an eye on how many ammos you have, you will have to use the chainsaw so many times that you can't even imagine, now little demons are a source of ammo to use your
    chainsaw on. About the fighting arenas, they are nice mostly, besides some odd wall placements letting you being surrounded and die (only a few designs like that).

    About some cons now: (weapons to be used: Super Shotgun, Ballista, Bomb)

    Marauders, the new enemies. They are hard if you are too far they use their super shotgunor send a wave with their axe made of argent enery, if you are too close they might wield their axe on you. Keep middle range dont attack in random times, they might use the instant-wielding shield and you will lose time reloading your super-shotgun giving you a death risk, so always attack when he is about to attack. If you are low on ammo/health, be rapid go chainsaw/glory kill or bloodpunch some little demon and get back to the fight. (you are not always encountering them but they are tough)

    Doom Hunters, they are dangerous until you destroy they rocket down there in the legs part. This rocket gives them a Plasma Shield and increases strength. After you destroy the rocket with Shotgun's minigun mod, rocket launcher or minigun
    (any tough weapon) he is now very weak and you can chill!

    So that's all for my review, it is overall a very nice DOOM experience like always.

    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.
