    An action packed FPS that is full of gore and violence. But the constant lack of ammo makes it a bit frustrating if you dislike glory kills that give new ammo.

    First of all, let me state: this game is the ultimate "DOOM" really but after the middle of the game it becomes a boring game. I finish the main story and put it aside. Good game to you worlds. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    I wasn't a big fan of the reboot and the idea of a difficult HARDCORE shooter doesn't really excite me as much as most PC gamers.

I honestly have no clue what the story was about and have no real interest in reading up on it. With so little in it for me, I'm surprised by how much I loved this game.
    I feel like the difficulty isn't really difficulty in the punishing sense but urges you to use your entire arsenal at all times, forcing you to constantly switch around weapons and tactics on the fly to exploit every weakness possible. This keeps the game fresh and exciting throughout the campaign. That with the unparalleled sense of mobility, you constantly find yourself in a groove to the heavy metal music while your senses are overloaded. The visual design is colorful and easy to navigate with split second reflexes despite the fact that it's gory demons. The sound design is a hilarious mix of cartoonish sound effects that give to it's charm.
    In a world of repetitive shooters which all feel like the refinement of the last, this one does something that feels completely different.
    I won't remember much of the game or the story, but I know that for it's respectable run time, I had constant fun, was challenged but not frustrated, and would recommend this to anyone who is up for something old that feels new.    … Expand

    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.

    First DOOM I've played, the gunplay in this game is nuts. To be expected, but still quite the experience.

    Mick Gordon did a stellar job as well with the music.

    Like DOOM 2016, but way better with more depth. It is also self-aware that it's a videogame and has graphic style more similar to original games. If you like FPS games, this is a must-have. Nothing groundbreaking, nothing new or gimmicky, just amazing gunplay and tons of demons to kill. DLC is fantastic and difficult.

    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.

    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.

Instead of just dodging, they're thinking about the order of    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.

    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

    Ripping and tearing through demons in DOOM Eternal is a great time! The mix of platforming and combat is extremely well done, and I enjoy it a lot! The soundtrack gets you perfectly into the mood for wrenching off the heads of demons and punching through walls, and the overall sound design does a great job overall.

    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.
