    Simply the Best FPS ever made. The combat, the movement, the shooting, all of them are just chef's kiss.

    I still really love the Doom franchise, I really like this story, mixed with brutal storytelling, environments, and in such bright colors.

When you find improvements to these parameters in the second half of the game, it becomes a little bit easier, but this piano does not go anywhere.
    Many people liked the dynamism of such a game-play, but I did not like it.
    Also, I liked the variety of weapon upgrades and challenges, but didn't like the armor upgrades and runes - a very narrow direction that never fits my game-play.    … Expand

    Much better game than the previous which I found sort of overrated if we are being honest.

    Rip & Tear until it is done!
    DOOM Eternal is the pinnacle of the Single Player First Person Shooter genre in many ways.
    The gameplay mechanics are flawless, everything works as intended, every single weapon serves its purpose very well and the skill tree is solid. The soundtrack is fantastic, fits perfectly with the aggressive gameplay, and most tracks are bangers. It's worth to note    Rip & Tear until it is done!
    DOOM Eternal is the pinnacle of the Single Player First Person Shooter genre in many ways.

    The gameplay mechanics are flawless, everything works as intended, every single weapon serves its purpose very well and the skill tree is solid.

    The soundtrack is fantastic, fits perfectly with the aggressive gameplay, and most tracks are bangers.

    It's worth to note that some areas look absolutely gorgeous!
    The level design is great, running around in the battlefield, slaying demons, parkouring and picking up unique power-ups never gets old.

    However, in terms of gameplay I have one complain, I personally didn't enjoy the platforming, there's too much of it and most of the times it's completely unnecessary.

    Also, the story is very bad, it's laughably pretentious, tries way too hard to make you feel cool and portrays Doom Slayer as a badass demon slayer in a... cringey way, every human worships him and gets scared of him as he's just minding his own business, I think it would've been better if there was some subtlety.

    My biggest criticism would be the repetitiveness and the quest design.
    Every single mission felt like a fetch quest, and combined with some overpowered enemy types (specifically the Archvile), it made some parts of the game extremely frustrating.
    I really liked the Marauder though, he's perhaps one of my favorite enemy types in the game.

    All in all, this game feels like a blast from the past.
    It's very arcadey and old school but modern at the same time and I liked that! Even though it gets repetitive at times, it's such a "videogame" in every sense of the word.

    Final Rating: "Great" ~ 8/10.    … Expand

    I can't say I enjoyed it, I loved Doom 2016, bui this one seems to be more about puzzle, jumping and finding a way to progress further, with which I had no problem in previous Doom. I died more because of falling down than in combat. Maybe call the game Jumping eternal..

    Темп боя ужасно рванный, ты не будешь истреблять демонов ради их истребления и иногда подпитки ресурсами, ты будешь их истреблять исключительно ради ресурсов.
    Карманы думгая стали катастрофически маленькими. Без прокачки туда влезет лишь 12 патронов дроби.
    Хочешь больше? Исследуй карту, занимайся платформингом, рви темп игры еще больше.
    Проблема игры в том, что она не дает тебе выбрать стиль игры с любимым набором пушек, а определяет его за тебя - крутись как белка в колесе, бесконечно используя ВСЕ виды оружия и ВСЕ способности, обязательно исследуй все уголки карты, иначе проиграешь.
    Чтобы единая формула игры вдруг не сломалась, тебе всегда услужливо подбросят пачку хилым мобов, спаун которых тут бесконечен.
    По прокачке - от неё стало зависеть слишком много и она просто стала перегруженной.
    Кому то нравится платформинг, но у меня кроме смеха и огорчения крутящиеся в воздухе огненные цепи (на манер супер марио брос) не вызвали никаких других эмоций.
    Обучение тоже стало очень лояльным - перед встречей с каждым противником тебе услужливо покажут мультик, как его правильно убивать/где его слабые места .
    Для меня это минус, т.к. в моем представлении хорошая игра всегда предоставляет игроку хоть немного свободы исследования процесса. Этот же момент немного переходит мою внутреннюю черту.
    Музыка мне не запомнилась, но тут на вкус и цвет. Но что не на вкус и цвет - мне одному показалось, что у музыки низкий битрейт? Звучит поносно.
    Не смотря на все вышеперечисленные недостатки (субъективные, разумеется), игра запросто найдет своего пользователя.
    Техническое исполнение на высоте, и, в целом, описанные проблемы не столь критичны.
    Просто не ожидайте тут увидеть тот самый дум, который заставил вновь почувствовать вкус классики на современный лад.
    Эту игру можно считать своеобразной эволюцией серии, просто она не для меня.
    Попробовать её однозначно стоит.    … Expand

    Doom Eternal itself is simply fantastic and has love bursting at the seams. The movement is fluid and quickly becomes second nature. The campaign is endlessly charming, its level design pristine, and its plot compelling. Its peaks are sublime and plentiful, and the worst it has to offer is still perfectly competent.

    bad part of this doom is the platform parts, they maybe be too confusing sometimes, and the hud and menu are terrible bad btw.

    Doom Eternal is fifth major installment in the legendary FPS series Doom. It is also a direct sequel to the 2016 Doom. I really enjoyed the 2016 game and I was not let down this time either.

I really enjoyed the 2016 game and I was not let down this time either. Doom Eternal does not really change much from its predecessor and that is a good thing, no reason to change something that worked great. Some tweaks were made to weapons, mostly balance oriented, for example my favorite infinite ammo at full health was removed, but I have to say, it was probably necessary and a good decision. The graphics looks great, the graphics menu is kinda cool and interesting, it does not allow you to go over your GPU ram, that is a hard cap for you, but otherwise the game performs very well even on a bit older setups. The game font is classic Doom and very cool. The music is very nice as always, although for some reason, I do not think it was as good as in 2016. The story is simple, not long cutscenes, codex is short and completely optional, exactly what you expect and want from a Doom game. I played on the second highest difficulty all the way through, I had a few deaths here and there, it was perfect for me. I think second to last boss fight was the hardest for me. The game has some minor cosmetics microtransactions despite the promise it will have absolutely none, that is a shame, also no SJW politics. I have not played the DLCs yet.

    With Doom Eternal you get exactly what you expect, I have been playing Doom since mid nineties and I hope there is plenty more to come in this great series. Final Verdict: 87 %    … Expand

    It's the raw cerebral intensity of Quake married with Doom's enemy roster and its violent, cathartic attitude.

Enjoying this game requires a certain frame of mind, a certain willingness to push yourself and to think in the heat of the moment. But it's extremely rewarding if you meet it on its own terms. Nearly every weapon feels like it has a significant role, a stark contrast to Doom 2016's promotion of 2 weapon playstyles. Ammo counts have been massively reduced, pushing the player towards intelligent use of their loadout. Overall, the way I would describe this difference is that Doom 2016 treats its weapons as a set of toys, in which any can be used at any time without too much consequence. Doom Eternal treats them as tools, and you have to use them well to achieve success.

    The Doom Slayer is more mobile in every possible way and the combat is even more fast paced. Enemies are smarter, more aggressive and more varied across the board. New abilities like the blood punch, flame belch and ice grenade have been added, and provide even more tactical depth.

    The end result of all of this is a hyper-intense gameplay loop of constant movement, weapon swapping, and decision making. It makes you feel like a demon-slaying god when you finally overcome. It's extremely engaging to the point that I keep coming back even after like 4 playthroughs.

    All in all, from a gameplay standpoint it's one of the best SP FPS games ever, and a clear improvement over Doom 2016 in all of the ways that matter most. There's really not much else like this in the modern market. In an age in which arena shooters and movement based shooters are dying and the market is overwhelmingly shifting towards slower, less intense genres like tactical shooters and Battle Royales, it's nice to know that a game like this can still be made and find success. I'll get sappy for a second and say this: Thank you, id Software. You're the only AAA developer that still cares about the things I value in a shooter.    … Expand

    Worst Doom game.
    Enemies are bullets sponges so the shooting isn't that satisfying and you are forced into a repetitive game loop of chasing ammo which makes the worst thing about the 2016 game, the glory kills, pivotal. You cant even try to pretend the pathetic teleportation your character does once you hit the chainsaw button isn't there anymore.
    Just a boring and repetitive console    Worst Doom game.

    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.
