The different vulnerabilities of the enemies and the less frequent ammunition will force you to use all your weapons in almost every battle.
    I highly recommend doom eternal both for those who use mouse / kb and for those who use a controller    … Expand

    Doom Eternal is nothing like Doom 2016, in fact you could compare them as totally different games. Doom 2016 (Personal score 9/10) Is a classic representation of doom as a franchise. You walk in, punch, shoot, and tear apart everything in your path, literally everything a doom fan could ask for.

    Doom Eternal is nothing like Doom 2016, in fact you could compare them as totally different games. Doom 2016 (Personal score 9/10) Is a classic representation of doom as a franchise. You walk in, punch, shoot, and tear apart everything in your path, literally everything a doom fan could ask for. You didn’t have to worry about ammo, Heath drops, armour shards. You just hopped in. And you killed everything in your path. Now I know this may sound repetitive, but it was a simple as that. Run, shoot, repeat. Now before I talk about Doom eternal. I want mention another game series that gives me more of a Doom Eternal feel. Quake. The original quake games (Quake 2 to be more specific) Took the doom formula and speed it up. When you play quake 2, you move as fast as goddamn possible. In contrast too the original Dooms. They are pretty much carbon copies. Armour shards. Health pickups. And a massive arsenal. Now looking at Doom Eternal it takes a little bit from everything. The Demons from doom. (Plus twice the amount from Doom 2016) the speed from Quake. And meshes it together, with a little extra. Doom Eternal adds resource management, if you try to hop in and play it like Doom 2016 you’re going to fail. Big time fail. The developers of doom eternal wanted the player to be engaged in the game. It slowly teaches you to balance and think about your resources. If you successfully Learn how to balance yourself. You’ll never have any issue with this game. Too wrap it up. I believe this one of the best ID games too date. Is it anything like doom 2016? No. Not at all. Doom Eternal is another step forward in the doom franchise, it’s experimenting with new things and trying to “Perfect” the doom formula. Ps. Resource management can be easy In this game. I haven’t had a single issue with running low on ammo. Nor amour shards, nor health. Remember. Low on ammo? Your chainsaw refills on its own, look for a minor enemy and you’ll never have an ammo problem Low on armour? Flame belch whoever’s in your way, even if you don’t get a large amount of enemies the smallest amount of armour shards can change the tides of battle.
    Low on health? Glory kills and killing minors is a quick way to get your health back.    … Expand

    the greatest game I have played since red dead redemption 2, this game soars past expectations delivering the greatest fps campaign ever! the campaign although did not use much visual story elements it did, however, use long detailed logs describing the events that have transpired. the movement is the greatest element of this game which constantly had me in awe and suspense.

But whoever puts in the time to master it will find the beset combat expirience that videogames can provide. absolute masterpiece, its just wonderful to see a triple aaa developer who is this confident, focused and commited in creating a game. 10/10

    Coming from someone who played DOOM and DOOM II back in the day, this game is a goddamned masterpiece. Tons of misinformation in the negative reviews which I will clear up:

Tons of misinformation in the negative reviews which I will clear up:

    - Low ammo is not an issue because you have the ability to replenish ammo at *any time* using a weapon you get at the very start: the chainsaw. If you want to carry more ammo in general, you can double your reserves by putting points into the ammo stat via Sentinel Crystals. If you are out of or low on ammo, it is your own fault.

    - Platforming is tight, easy to understand, and an absolute blast. It controls extremely well and doesn’t even punish you with death if you fall off of a ledge. It adds a lot to your mobility that makes combat encounters far more interesting. It also prevents the game from being a one-dimensional arena shooter.

    - Combat does require quick reflexes and strategy. Just like in the original games, you have to keep moving. The game is extremely clear about this. If you merely pay an ounce of attention to the tutorials peppered throughout, you will quickly master the combat dance and learn which tool is right for each job. You cannot use the same 1 or 2 guns, and that’s on purpose. You couldn’t do that in the original DOOM games either so what did you expect?

    - Some complain that the game is too colorful. These people seemingly haven’t played the originals which were loaded with bright blues, reds, and greens. The environments are still gore-ey when they want to be, but I don’t personally see the harm in making levels distinct with more than just one single hellish theme.

    - There is far more of a narrative this time than in Doom 2016, but it is delightfully fascinating and makes the journey exponentially more epic. If you really really hate stories, all cutscenes are skippable.


    So anyways, ignore the naysayers and embrace this game. It is easily the best FPS in the last decade and you’d be sorely missing out by not playing it.    … Expand

But jokes aside: from what I've seen, most complaints people have toward this game are: platforming, more linear levels, than in the previous installment and Marauders, so let me address those: If you really hate platforming, then you won't like it here, but imo it is as good, as it can get in an FPS game, that is not focusing on platforming per se, it provides breaks from the break-neck pace of the fighting sections and I kind of like it, it certainly don't ruin anything. As for the level design I must admit, that some of the levels are basically a straight line in their general structure, but there's so much stuff to do and discover throughout them, that they really don't feel much linear, when you play them and they are also waaay bigger then in 2016's. Lastly the infamous Marauders. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then basically there's this new enemy type that is kind of a unofficial boss and he requires you to dramatically change your approach for the time he's around, but really it's not that bad, as some people say, I've seen videos where people playing on a controller stunlock this dude to death, so git gud I guess. :D I'm not going to break down each and every new mechanic and tool and how it affects the game loop, I'll just say that there's a lot of new stuff, but it's all really smartly designed, everything has it's purpose and you really need to use all your tools and weapons this time around if you want to get through this game, as it's way harder then the previous one. Fortunately the devs did a great job in explaining how and why each element of the gameplay is important, like chainsawing for ammo, flame belching for armor and so on, so no one should get lost in this. Graphics are amazing, weapon and monster sounds are as metal, as the music (and omg the MUSIC, it deserves it's own review, really), general design of locations and everything else is out of this world and almost trippy ridiculous at times, but in a good sense. This installment is pretty story-heavy compared to the last one, and it has quite a few 3rd person cutscenes, some people liked the miinimalistic direction of D2016 better, but I don't mind the approach here, it all comes together nicely, especially if you read the codex along the way, which I recommend you do. Also the Battlemode, which obviously is not the focus of the game is pretty fun for couple of hours, once you get used to it, it's a nice addition. I really can't recommend this game enough, and I'm only giving it a 9, instead of 10, because of some minor visual bugs and the fact that sometimes, when you get out of a glory kill animation you can find yourself already surrounded by the enemies, which can kill you almost instantly, if you're on nightmare difficulty, which feels to me like a cheap death, this really shows how aggressive the AI is in this one. Basically, if you're an FPS fan of any sort you should try this game! And remember scores and reviews are temporary, but DOOM is ETERNAL. m/… 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.
