    The game is simply furious! Unreal meat, cruelty, wow ... That's great. I'm far from a fan of this series of games, but this and the last part of the games are just awesome.

    my only problem is the final boss being a bit anti-climatic since all you really have to do is shoot certain areas for two phases and thats it.

    overall great game with only minor issues that can be overlooked

    Loved Doom 2016 (400+ hours of playtime since autumn last year - yes, I started kind of late), loving this one even more. Everything (gameplay, production values, atmosphere) is top notch apart from the story which could have been better executed (think Bioshock series). One of the best shooters I've ever played.

    I fell in love with this game. This is the best FPS game I have ever played so far. I played DOOM (2016) and that game couldn't be more different from the latest instalment.

You really need to think before you shoot, choose your weapons and mods accordingly and manage your resources. It's basically impossible to beat this game with your two favourite guns and the game constantly reminds you fo that. The combination of Mick Gordon's kickass riffs, your arsenal of various weapons with various mods and the forces of Hell and "Heaven" going against you really makes you feel like an angry powerhouse of flesh and steel.

    Now to the platforming. Honestly, I kind of liked it. It was a pleasant little "break" after a bloodbath of demons and I loved looking for secrets and collectibles.

    I F-ing love this game and I'm looking forward to a second playthrough on Nightmare difficulty.    … Expand

    So many whiners giving low ratings because of the new mechanics and the story cutscenes. These kind of people are never satisfied. If they had produced literally just more Doom 2016 levels, they would have complained that they didn't do anything, or that it's just more of the same, or boring. Hell, they even say this is boring.

I've played 20 hours so far, and I'm a completionist, so I'm getting every item and taking a deep look at the lore and story. I have been playing this since 1993, and to see where they took the story makes me feel so fulfilled. Calling it a "satanic cartoon" is pretty ridiculous. Do you realize how NOT realistic the premise is to begin with? What were you expecting? It is a fake story, but a very cared and loved one to both devs and fans alike. I personally feel like I'm getting SO MUCH MORE than I wanted from this game. Those complaining about graphics being worse...I can't even. I am playing this on PC with a 2080 Ti on the highest settings on a CRG9 49" UW...5120x1440 at 120 FPS...no lag...the textures and details are astounding and the best graphics of any game I own PERIOD. While other games offer these settings, it's usually at the cost of some performance. id knew this and really made this work for such a fast-paced game.

    Bottom-line, you can't please everyone..that's for sure. It's harder with the new mechanics, but, to me, in a good way...and I really feel like I have to work to be UNSTOPPABLE. In DOOM 2016, I feel like I was too strong..and the game was much easier. I feel a reward for playing intelligently and being strategic...and the speed is INSANE. The level designs are MASSIVE and fit arena style playing, which...I mean, do I even have to say that id's games are all this way? Sigh...just watch videos to see if you want it or not.

    Regarding the graphics part,well it's ages better then the previous game and that's thanks to the new IDTech7 which makes geometry detail wonders especially on pc. The game is the most optimized pc title at the very moment and it runs smooth as hell on every pc,PC MASTER RACE baby.
    Furthermore the game could be compared to a Soul-like game in terms of difficulty when that is set to Ultra Violence or Nightmare level,and that makes the game even funnier with Mick Gordon's soundtrack that basically tells you 24/7 to rip and tear until the end.
    Doom Eternal is my goty 2020 for the very moment,waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 to challenge it.
    Furthermore I have a comment on the negative reviews on this site and regarding this game,don't even bother reading those who gave this game a straight 0,people that give such a low mark to such a game are either retarded or fortnite snowflakes who know nothing about arena fps games and what they are supposed to be like.Give a try to the game and play it more than 10 hours and you will get to see that all the negative reviews here are pointless pile of complacent trash.
    This is all for now,rip and tear brothers and sisters,rip and tear until it's done.

    Enemies are much faster, and much agressive. Creators said - they wanted to make every battle a little puzzle, and they succeed. It is a puzzle for war pilot. On high difficulty you have about same time window for decisionmaking.
    Levels are wider and much longer. Landscapes are the metalliest thing ever. Take any background, and print it on the    Rip and Tear. Now faster, longer, angrier.

    I thought that Doom 2016 was perfect, fast paced, brutal, awesome soundtrack, challenging, and i just expected Doom Eternal to be the same. We are so lucky that it isn't. It's so much more!

Don't be that person and then you will have lots of fun and challenge, mainly in the higher difficulties, which i recommend.

    Some times i thought that i would not be able to pass certain demon or area, but i think that the creators made something similar to the Dark Souls idea, you need to learn the patterns of the enemies and know your weapons, have no mercy, use everything that you have, and you will be rewarded.

Now, if you haven't played Doom 2016 prior to this game, do that first ($20 on Steam and they have really nice sales) as you would not be able to return to 2016 once you've picked up Doom Eternal. Systems like the new gib system are extremely satisfying, you can watch as pieces of the demons you are mowing down scatter in a fountain of blood. The addition of the blade on the Doomguy's arm spices up some of the glory kills with even more blood. The new weapon mods are pretty much the same as the ones in 2016, except the useless mods were all switched out for more interesting ones. Progression comes in weapons with weapon mods and mod upgrades then masteries. Additionally, your sult can be upgraded with praetor tokens and some kind of shard (I forget the name).
    Now, Eternal has many design decisions that clearly separates it from its predecessor. Eternal has a generally less gritty and dark theme compared to 2016 and has much more in bright ammo or health pickups. There is a decent amount of platforming though you do this knowing that any moment, you will enter a new arena in which another epic massacre of demons will ensue. Finally, the addition of mechanics such as the blood punch, flame belch, and new grenades serve as a way for the player to manage their resources.
    Thus far, I have but one complaint for the game which is the challenges. As a bit of a completionist, the challenges requiring me to glory kill from specific angles on demons which only appear once or twice kind of sucks. This is not really a reason to not buy the game though. The game is good. You should play it.    … Expand

    Alright, going to be honest, I had never played a Doom game before this one, so while I might not be as emotionally invested in the series as others who have played the others in their youth, I can definitely say that this game got me so obsessed with the series as a whole that I went and got all the others, just to continue the experience.

    I had assumed there wasn't any story and just came in with the expectation of shoot, kill, repeat, and while yes that is a lot of it and it's damn fun, I ended up becoming invested and curious about the story of everything, naturally, had to go play and watch for more information.

    That being said, fantastic level design, gameplay, and to be honest, I actually love the added colours, while some say it takes away from the brutal experience (compared to 2016), I think it only highlights it, gives each atmosphere a bit more character, makes it so much more pleasing on the eye, and makes me want to just stare at every new thing I came across because of how beautiful it is.

    Not sure what else to say so, I love the painting with Daisy on the wall, it is adorable    … Expand

    Well, we all know how good the first game was. The gameplay, gunplay, the chaos the amazing soundtrack, it has everything. Some dubbed it as the best fps ever. But Doom eternal is better than its predecessor in every possible way. They tweaked the best parts of Doom 2016 and made them better. And improved in some ares which needed improvements. The story in every doom game is like an bonusWell, we all know how good the first game was. The gameplay, gunplay, the chaos the amazing soundtrack, it has everything. Some dubbed it as the best fps ever. But Doom eternal is better than its predecessor in every possible way. They tweaked the best parts of Doom 2016 and made them better. And improved in some ares which needed improvements. The story in every doom game is like an bonus feature. You dont need it but its there. But in Doom Eternal the took the story from Doom 2016 and made it better. Its not just slaying demons anymore now you have a meaningful story to play for but as I said the story is just a bonus. Now let’s talk about gameplay, Its fast. Very fast. Like no other fps. Well if you played Doom 2016 you know what exactly I’m talking about. Fast, fun, Chaotic. That’s what doom is all about. And yes Glory Kills. The best new thing they added to the franchise in 2016 got better in Eternal. You have more glory kills Than doom 2016 and its satisfying as ever. Eternal is challenging than 2016 too. With less ammo to start up and also no unlimited ammo pistol So you really have to count your shots strategies every encounter and use your chainsaw accordingly. And in higher difficulty youll day. Alot. So stack uo those extra lives by exploring every level. In this game exploration wont just give you collectables and secrets, It will also give you suit upgrades, Sentinel batteries to unlock more items and upgrades in the fortress of doom. Yes now you have your own fortress where you can see your collectables and unlock tons of items. Theres also the slayer rooms in every level. You’ll get the slayer key by beating the slayer rooms and unlock a super weapon which i wont spoil. Every side stuff has rewards for late game. But it wont hurt you if you dont do them. And yes you can customise your slayer with different suits unlocked by collecting sentinel batteries. Now game design. Its better than 2016. The engine produces more colour which makes each level more vibrant. The guns also got major redesigns which make them loom like og Doom counterparts. The demons also got redesign to make them look like og doom counterparts which is pure fan service from id software. The sound design is brilliant. Better than any other game out there. And with the best soundtrack in the history of everything, its a complete blast to play through. I even sat down on the main menu just to enjoy the main menu theme. Now level design. It felt kinda linear to me. But the platforming section are a great addition to this game. Where doom 2016 was sometime confusing and caused a lot of back tracking during my play through. but eternal was straight forward. No backtracking. Just go to the objective and kill demons. So finally I think this game is goty material. This year we’ll see some most hyped and anticipated game releases. so lets see if they can catch up with DOOM. Final verdict is a solid 10/10 For me. Must buy. Go buy it. And stay home and slay the demons!… Expand

    First! - The story is what doom needed, nothing that will slow down the experience.
    Second! - Oh my! the graphics are amazing, Doom 2016 graphics we're already amazing.
    Third! - Killing those demons is the most satisfying ever, ripping the demons eyes out is sooo! much fun.
    Forth - Jumping like a monkey is ALOT of fun.
    Verdict : 10.0

Sure, you may have to slow down and THINK a little about your next move, but it allows the game to be very rich and rewarding as you adjust and get better.

    The multiplayer (Battlemode) is addicting and fun, and more replayable than it already is. I just highly recommend beating/getting good at the campaign before jumping in. It can be intense with all of the currently quarantined pros online. Also, where is the horde mode? Please give us a horde mode!    … Expand

    Doom Eternal is the best game in the series, with fresh and original new game mechanics, an intriguing yet ignorable story, some of the best combat in any FPS ever, loads of challenges and new demons, as well as tons of replay ability. It even manages to introduce a fun and interesting multiplayer game called battle mode, however the multiplayer needs more diversity in terms of game play.Doom Eternal is the best game in the series, with fresh and original new game mechanics, an intriguing yet ignorable story, some of the best combat in any FPS ever, loads of challenges and new demons, as well as tons of replay ability. It even manages to introduce a fun and interesting multiplayer game called battle mode, however the multiplayer needs more diversity in terms of game play.

    Story: Like every other game in the DOOM Franchise, Eternal’s story is ignorable and most likely won’t effect your gameplay. However, players interested in looking into the lore will be MORE than satisfied, with jaw dropping plot twists (which I wouldn’t dare spoil) and interesting background and history on every location and entity in the game, as well as the histories of the sentinels, demons, and the earth itself. Although the lore isn’t worked into the game as well as it could be, but it’s a DOOM game. You didn’t come for the story and ID Software knows that.

    Gameplay: ID software has ruined the gameplay of DOOM (2016) for me... because they improved upon it in every single way. The gunplay is tight and precise, the weapons are explosive and satisfying, and the gore has been turned up from 10/10 to 12/10, with brand new unique glory kills for bosses and enemies. Every encounter with enemies feels like a puzzle as you quickly strategize your next move running through break neck speed.

    Levels: DOOM 2016’s campaign began to grow stale and repetitive in the third act, however you’ll see nothing like that in DOOM Eternal, as every level feels fresh and unique from the plains of hell itself, to the corrupted Earth, as well as the home worlds of the sentinels, and the maykrs. Being pact with dozens of fantastic secrets such as floppy disc’s with classic soundtracks from ID Games. However the final level of the game: “Final Sin” lacks on the Creative Side, it MORE than makes up for it with the fantastic final boss.

    Enemies and Bosses: The enemies are diverse and unique, broken down into four classes. Each enemy brings a unique challenge (excluding fodder enemies) that you must account for in the arena like battles.
    As for the bosses, the bosses are unique and challenging. To put it simply they “teach you how to play DOOM correctly.” As each boss brutally examines you on everything you’ve learned up to that point in the game. Each of the five bosses manage to keep the gameplay fresh to the very end, with the monstrous final boss being an “epic battle of biblical proportions”.

    Rewards: DOOM Eternal is incredibly rewarding, giving players skins, weapon power ups, cheat codes, and classic music for exploring and completing the game. Eternal also introduces a leveling up progression system that awards you xp based on your performance, completion, and exploration in the campaign and multiplayer that gives you access to titles, profile pics, backgrounds and victory poses as well as additional creative weapons/player skins. Most importantly though is that completion and exploration of the game awards you a copy of Classic Doom and Doom II (I’ll explain in the next paragraph)

    Replay-ability: After you’ve finished the campaign enjoy playing the game on higher difficulties as well as the intense and challenging “extra life mode” which puts an old school twist in a modern shooter, as well as the merciless and unholy “Ultra Nightmare” mode that’ll send you through hell and back. Players can also grind through the level progression system to get all level up perks and rewards. If you’ve found enough secrets you can also return to the hub world, the "Fortress of Doom" after completing the final level you're awarded a classic model MS DOS computer that contains a full port of THE Classic Doom and Doom II. That’s right, you get to play Doom in DOOM as reward for exploring and completing the game.

    Multiplayer: The multiplayer is the weakest part of the game. However that’s not to say it’s bad, it’s a creative, fun, and original multiplayer game mode... and at the moment the ONLY multiplayer game mode in Doom Eternal. Eternal introduces the new Battlemode that sees you and two other players duke it out in an arena, one plays as the DOOM Slayer himself, as the other two take control of a heavy class demon as they engage in an epic battle to slay the Slayer. Although battle mode is a good multiplayer mode, getting classical multiplayer modes such as death match will definitely be necessary to keep fans playing Eternal.

    Conclusion: 9.75/10 (Rounded up to 10/10)

    DOOM Eternal is not just one of the best shooters in years, but one of the best shooters of ALL TIME. Including an original and epic campaign, new mechanics, an original multiplayer mode, loads of replay-ability, and it’s overall just a fantastic time. As soon as that opening cutscene rolls, the only thing you’re going to want to do is... RIP and TEAR... until it is done.    … Expand

I agree that it can be soul-crushing but it is fair every time, and finishing every inch of the game comes with a true feeling of PRIDE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT.
    Marauder (shield axe guy) got a lot of flack due to peculiar timing needed to defeat him.. once you get his rythm he is super easy.. don't give up.
    Argument can be made that it is only about killing demons, but if that bores you doom is not for you. It is made to be gameplay focused. And it stay fresh to the very end.

    If you hated this game just because ammo was scarce, use your chainsaw more.

If you hated this game because of the secrets, you don't have to get all of them, most are optional. You thought this game was too hard? This game is built off of resource management, you gotta learn how to do that.

    If you haven't played this game, start reading from here. The game's bones are resource management and fighting. If you would like the standard doom eternal experience without going crazy over that one collectible, just don't get it at that moment and wait until you have exploration upgrades to find it or fast travel. The levels are gorgeous. Like literally, look out your window or go outside to a big suburban town, then come back inside and play more doom eternal. Tell me that you aren't asking "How the heck did earth get this way?" Anyway, the visuals are amazing. The specs are really living up to what they said they were. Multiplayer... is a disappointment. The battlemode in this game is the only bad point I have. They didn't fully flesh it out/make it fun, which is why most people stick to the campaign, the best thing in the game. One more bad point that I think more people should be aware of: not exactly bad but just a bug. If you have cheat codes equipped while doing a campaign mission you've never done before that has a slayer gate, disable all cheat codes and the slayer key will appear. This bug has hindered me many times, but literally everything else in the game makes up for it.    … Expand

    I feel like the hate for this game is too absurd. I mean, people are saying Doom 2016 is much better and that it has better gameplay than Doom Eternal. Although that is an opinion I cannot change, I feel like Doom Eternal is an improvement of Doom 2016. With added mobility and weak points on enemies, it makes the game more difficult but easier at the same time if that makes any sense. ForI feel like the hate for this game is too absurd. I mean, people are saying Doom 2016 is much better and that it has better gameplay than Doom Eternal. Although that is an opinion I cannot change, I feel like Doom Eternal is an improvement of Doom 2016. With added mobility and weak points on enemies, it makes the game more difficult but easier at the same time if that makes any sense. For example, the security enemies/ shield guys in Doom 2016 were frustrating to come across at times and they carried out a lot of damage with a lot of defense too. However, In Doom Eternal, you can use a Plasma Rifle to overheat their shields. Which I think is very fair, because they also add a lot more enemies. Now platforming, I don't mind it. I mean although the art style of the game has changed, the action still feels the same mostly and has improved too. People may complain about the games difficulty and no "ammo". But it's a dumb argument considering the chainsaw auto-fills one bar and there are always fodder enemies nearby to chainsaw for ammo. If you're having difficulty with the newly added mechanics then that is fine. At first, I was getting used to the new utilities too. But as I progressed through the game, I learned how to combo all my gear at once and to always weapon-swap. Just like in Doom 2016. The lore is also very fascinating, with the story of Doom Slayer and his origins. However, if you're not interested in the lore and just want pure gameplay then you can just skip the cutscenes too. I think the boss fights in this game are a step up too, from Gladiators to the gigantic Icon of Sin. I'm very happy with the game and feel as if it really was worth the money. The game is also very well optimized giving me rarely any stutters and so far no crashes, I am running the game with an RX 580 graphics card and it handles really well. Overall, buy the game. It adds more depth to combat and has an interesting story that concludes most questions from Doom 2016. I rate this 666/10.… Expand

Every aspect of this game was meticulously crafted to create the most metal, intense, blood-pumping experience ever. This game could easily become the best shooter of 2020, if not the best shooter of the decade. And to clarify, we are talking about Half-life Alex here. Trust me, it's that good. Every aspect, from the visuals, gameplay, and design were implemented to create the most satisfying game I have ever played. When it comes to action-packed gameplay, I have yet to see an FPS that surpassed Doom Eternal.

    Even I was skeptical about this game. When I first saw the updated interface I was very angry. The cool thing is, is that these developers are very good at their job. They overhauled the interface to what it is now. Even if it is still apparent and full of color, I think it works well. I say that confidently, even though I am huge nitpick when it comes to interface. I can even make the interface red, thank God.

    This properly shows how much Id cares for their fans. Not that bitter, ignorant, and frankly thoughtless crowd of people who claim that 2016 was better. Honestly, I don't think it's even possible to convince them otherwise, considering that their reviews are only filled with the same three bad things about the game over and over again. It takes a lot of closemindedness to come to the conclusions that they do. People like that don't want to try anything new and hate having to think when they play a game. Spoilers, you actually have to think when you play this game. I find it almost impossible to say 2016 was better than Eternal. It almost makes me think that these people didn't play the game all the way through, and got overly frustrated on one aspect of the game you could easily ignore. I don't know why the loot economy was so hard for people to cope with too. Just chainsaw and flame belch occasionally. It's the easiest part of the game, honestly. Finally, a doom game that makes you manage resources and think a little bit. If only more games were like that.

    A relatively small part of this game that people love to complain about is the platforming. The platforming just was a brief and fun way to bridge the gap between various locations. For once the thing separating different arenas wasn't just a hallway.

    It seems that things that made the game awesome, like verticality, more weapons, and more demons seemed to be the common complaint listed in these negative reviews. Doom Eternal improved upon all aspects of 2016, and I mean all of them. All of the true flaws of this game like the purple sludge, and occasional encounters with the marauder, were newer smaller problems that Doom Eternal created on its own. For you to hate this game, you needed to already hate all platforming, any form of cutscenes, even the short and good ones, and anything more colorful than a couple of greys and oranges. Luckily these diehard, lazy, close-minded reviewers are in the vast minority.

    In short, this game is very very good. Nothing, under no circumstances, should keep you from buying this game. Yes, this is incredibly different than 2016, but also immensely more enjoyable. Id outdid themselves by a landslide in every way. This is, by far, the best game I have ever played.

    But honestly, the multiplayer was pretty wack.    … Expand

    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

    The sequel it actually deserves. Platforming was easy, but there more a lot of it which I don't mind. Combat is really intense and butt clenching in each of its own terms.

Platforming was easy, but there more a lot of it which I don't mind. Combat is really intense and butt clenching in each of its own terms. Storytelling was greatly understandable (esp in codex) and it really doesn't take the game away. The only thing that I find kinda sad was that you could kinda see who the Doom Slayer is at this point. I wanted him to be a big mystery of a superhuman.

    Now for all these people that complain that so many has changed in Doom Eternal. It was for the betterment of it. Mainly because its a sequel meant for more varieties to happen. The devs were right, they doubled down as many things could happen compared to 2016. I don't see myself going back to 2016 for the gist of it as well. Its like improvement is being bad for you doomers who can't even get good in this game.

    People rant about the AMMO, in all honesty there are many scattered ammos around arenas, even the respawning fodders of which you could chainsaw. "The chainsaw became a reload weapon." Since when has it not? You have to use the chainsaw effieciently during your battles. Not when all your weapon ammos are depleted. Hence it refuels quickly. Don't get your arse stuck up when everythings low because you've got the mentality of only using it on occasions. 2016 basically has too many ammo that you just constantly use one weapon most of the time, aka super shotgun. Doom Eternal teaches you to use the each of your weapons which makes your gameplay more fluid than ever. I can't believe you guys just can''t handle what weapon is necessary for each and every demon. If you properly use your ammo resources, then you'll still have a lot in the end of the combat.

    The MARAUDERS are there to show off your skills if you can take this demon down instantly. Shooting him brainlessly punishes you to die. This demon basically controls the arena where the others won't, thats why hes so unique. The mf is basically your demonized reflection. "BuT dOoM is SuPpOseD tO be a FaSt pAcE gAMe" Yeah if you actually learn how to beat the Marauder, you'd beat him in less than 20sec tops. Hell, prolly even 10. Here's a tip, stay mid-range from him and super shotgun or ballista him when hes near. Don't shoot his shield for crying out loud. The wolf only comes out when you do it. That''s why you never shoot brainlessly.

    Level Designs are too complex? Excuse me but I remembered 2016 to be too dull and repetitive considering its just full on red. Its also tight in many combat areas where theres no free flow to roam around in. Even if the platform is like Mario, I would never doubt you that you couldn't finish them. They're easy to bypass and understandable. Atmosphere felt in place as well considering each level designs are very different from one another.

    Punching does nothing? Blood punch basically destroys most of the enemies in Eternal. Maybe you people forget that theres such a thing as that one. If you people can't comprehend the amount of throwables at your hand, then you're not thinking through and through on your gameplay, no wonder why you love 2016 so much. Its not even required for you to use them, considering you control what you play, but its necessary to use these to help your combat.

    For the story, I have no saying of it considering I like it, but many do, I do not know why but its everyones perspective.

    I guess people really want realistically looking games, how does cartoonish graphics make the game look more ugly?

    Even Doom 2016 was easy to beat to why I kinda got bored to it. Nightmare you say? that doesn't spice things too much even that one was okay to deal with. Doom Eternal's difficulty is rewarding and great. Even if i lost, Ive had extra lives in my hands and it rewards you into becoming an actual Slayer.

    In all honesty I think the people who whine are the ones who can't see themselves playing hardcore action skilled fps games at all. These people can't handle quick thinking and just blatantly relies on going all on no mind process shooting. Go back to call of duty if that's what you're after if you want simple repetitive game mechanics. Its you who has a problem with the game, not the game itself.    … Expand

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

    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.
