    The campaign alone is amazing, albeit bit too long imo. It's like 18 hours for the campaign but I enjoyed every minute.

    Stunning. Everything in this game has been fine tuned to perfection. The movement based combat is fun and keeps everything fresh.

    D:E is a great game. It plays very fluidly, it's intuitive and the campaign is just enough to get you hooked.

    A masterpiece that ruined singleplayer shooters for me. It improved on every gameplay aspect of Doom 2016 to the absolute extreme.

    Very tight game design that creates incredibly tense and interesting challenges with its varied enemy types. The game is much harder than 2016, but on lower difficulties you can still get the more forgiving mindless carnage. The harder difficulties require    A masterpiece that ruined singleplayer shooters for me. It improved on every gameplay aspect of Doom 2016 to the absolute extreme.

    Very tight game design that creates incredibly tense and interesting challenges with its varied enemy types. The game is much harder than 2016, but on lower difficulties you can still get the more forgiving mindless carnage. The harder difficulties require from you quick reflexes, quick thinking and managing your resources which create a gameplay loop that is unlike any other.

    Even if the score might say otherwise, the game isn't perfect however. The story is embarrassingly awful, it has pointless platforming sections and some jarring invisible walls.

    But as you can see with the score, those issues don't impact the perfect and revolutionary gunplay which is still the vast majority of the game.    … Expand

    Doom Eternal is an amazing game and massive improvement over Doom 2016 which was bland overrated game. The gun play is smooth and effective not taking away from the clean, exciting movement which is the biggest selling point.

    Fantastic game. It was what the predecessor always should have been. Deep challenging arena shooter with fantastic combat and movement. I also love how this game looks more like original games in modern graphics and less like a painkiller/Doom 3 wannabe like the last game.

    This game destroys 2016 and is best game in the series along with Doom 2. Almost everything about it was a big improvement. I also like how this game is taking the series into more movement based, skill based and Quake like direction.

    This game is a hell of a lot of fun! My only issue is that some of the tutorials hand hold too much. I know they can be disabled but I wish the game didn't reveal how to beat enemies(which aren't even best strategies anyway watch Under the Mayo on being creativity for Doom).

    Bonkers game. I actually didn't like the previous Doom that much and found it really bland and overrated. This game is actually great and fun. The levels a varied, there is huge roster of enemies, movement is great and gun combat is butter smooth.

    Doom Eternal, is the greatest action FPS game of all time. Nothing can top this masterpiece.
    Doom Eternal's soundtrack helps the set the games tone. Mick Gordon really out did himself.

    DooM по-прежнему остаётся САМЫМ ЛУЧШИМ шутером. DooM Eternal стал намного драйвовее DooM'а 2016, продолжился сюжет и новые треки для расчленёнки демонов появились.

    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.

    Doom is a great fun explosive experience. Some of the level design is a tad questionable but when it rocks, IT ROCKS HARD.

    The murderous amok simulator returns and is even more furious than before. Fantastic presentation and great fighting system are harmed only by annoying platforming sequences. [Issue#302]

    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.
