    You know how people tell you to "GIT GUD" when you're struggling with games? This game teaches to you GIT GUD rather quickly. A violent, gore-filled love letter to FPS gamers everywhere, DOOM Eternal will have you reinstalling it months later to relive the glory kills, chainsaw more Imps, and BFG your way to hell (and heaven) and back.

    Do you like chainsaws, shotguns, explosions, bloodshet and endless action with heavily distorded heavy metal music?

    If your answer is yes, this game will you an orgasm. A good one.

    I'm posting this review since it will permanently say that I had 69 hours at time of review. Good game, fun core gameplay loop, decent-ish story, well optimized. Very very very rarely drop frames outside of Super Gore Nest even with most settings on Ultra-Nightmare and in the year and a bit that I've been playing it on and off its never crashed on me.

    This is what video games should be. Fast, precise, wide array of gameplay, tactics if you want; a good story thats makes sense for the overall pacing and has very interesting lore thats told through the environment n such. Ambient audio, etc. They put heart into it - its fun. Truly fun.

    IT IS BY FAR THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN YEARS!! My dad played the original doom back in 1997 so i wanted to play this game to carry on his legacy.

    Eternal is gold. It takes the best parts of 2016, amps all of it up, and tosses in various new mechanics resulting in a game that is so exhilarating, fast paced, and gruesome that you just can't look away. All of the controls are tight, the game runs well, that incredible soundtrack is back...

    I struggle to find anything to take issue with. After a decent learning curve, de-programming previous DOOM muscle memory and play styles, you get into such a flow of ripping and tearing. It's satisfying and thrilling.

    I can't recommend it enough. If you're on the fence, just go for it. Give it a chance. And enjoy.

    This is the best dang DOOM you are going to find. The combat whips ass, and so does everything else. The lore is enormously stupid but in the way that the liner notes to a prog metal album are enormously stupid, which is to say it fun and rules. If this game were a person I would marry them immediately.

    This is what a quality game is. This is without a doubt my favorite game. I've bought this game in its entirety 2 times and have played the campaign at least 5 times since its release. There is not a single thing i dislike about this game, it can present a real challenge at times.

    This game is a MUST have:
    1: Graphics are AMAZING I have never seen a more detailed, crisp and dark enviorment like this before.
    2: It´s optimised as hell I have a mid tier PC and this game runs at 1440p, max settings with constantly 144fps
    3: Story hella great
    4: Pacing: EXCELENT pacing, with intense battles and a great story
    5: Glory kills: Do I even have to say something?

    The first well thought out and complete Doom game. Runs great on entry tier/old hardware too.*
    Average 90 FPS with rx580 8GB and i5 4690K @ 4.5GHz all core with nightmare settings.

    This is my favorite game! The gameplay is fast paced and have a lot of emphasis on movement. All enemies and weapons are very well designed and fits into the combat loop nicely. You need to have good situational awareness and plan your attack within a few seconds of entering an arena, and good ammo management is very important or else you will be running out of ammo a lot.

One really big improvement from DOOM-2016 is falling off an edge no longer instantly kills you, it just removes a bit of your health so it makes the parkour much more enjoyable. Expand

    Brilliant, fast paced and pure FPS. I have been playing doom since around 1996. I play through Ultimate and Doom 2 yearly and this game easily scratches the same itch.

    The best way I could describe this game is that it is pure testosterone fueled mayhem. The music is great, the gameplay is great, and the graphics are great. You actually start to feel sorry for the demons in the game as you rip and tear your way through everything. 10/10 would play again.

    This game slaps ass. Seriously, if you want to have a fun time, buy it. Much better than Doom 2016 and that game was also amazing.

Absolutely a 10/10 and a candidate for game of the year. The gameplay is absolutely flawless, and it makes you feel incredible as you move through perfectly made maps at superhuman speeds with powerful and unique weapons. Nothing can describe the satisfaction you get when you chainsaw a demonic soldier in half, rip out a Cacodemons eyeball and watch it explode, or grab an imp by the eye sockets and tear it in half with your bare hands. You can play this game for hours and only scratch the surface of the amount of glory kills and unique gore you can see. And you do it all while feeling completely in control of the fight as the Doom Slayer, an unbelievably powerful demigod with incredibly efficient demon-killing abilities. If you haven’t bought this game or played it, do it now. I promise you it is 100% worth it. Expand

    So as someone who absolutely loves Shooters and especially Competitive ones that challenge you to be fully focused and improve in what you are doing... this Game is just for you!
    Are you tired and sick of having to rely on teammates in Competitive Shooters to get the most out of your fun?
    Then play this game, you will have the same Level of Challenge but you rely on nobody but yourself.

    As for the Music of this Game, one could say you buy an album and the Game comes as a Bonus!

    Story could be argued about, but it is all a matter of preference, to me it is a sweet addition to a Game that does not even need a Story.

    What can i say, just buy this Game, you will not regret it!

    My Personal Game of the Century, i have never enjoyed a Game this much!

    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.
