    Great game. Gameplay is prime level master class stuff. Levels are really cool.

    This soundtrack is in no way inferior to the previous compositions of the old parts, it also blends wonderfully with the gameplay of the game. The plot seems not important in this game, but even I liked it a little.

    Must buy for arena shooter/movement shooter fans. Massive improvement over the predecessor which I felt was overrated and boring.

    Игра очень неплоха. Сюжет интересный, но надо много читать из записок и буквально выдергивать информацию оттуда. Бесит сильно паркур, особенно на предпоследней локации. В целом игра хорошая

    Anyone who thinks Doom 2016 is better has brain damage. I just played both these games recently so I have no nostalgia bias.

    I am actually surprised I liked this game considering previous Doom sucked, was boring and massively overrated. Big improvement the levels are more interesting, movement is better and combat actually has depth this time around. Good game honestly.

    Previous game was just bland, boring and ovehyped imo. This game pretty much fixed all the issues I had. Every level is unique, combat has lightyears more depth, more enemy variety, better weapon mods, better movement, story is more fun, etc.. This game just objectively crushes the previous by far.

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

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

    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 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).

    The game is great but I am just here to laugh at the troll tier brain rot negative reviews. Game has jumping therefore bad is all the negative reviews you see ignoring the game is still 70% balls to the wall combat. Maybe Quake and Titanfall are bad games because of jumping according to these people or maybe they never heard the term movement arena shooters before or maybe they forgot DoomThe game is great but I am just here to laugh at the troll tier brain rot negative reviews.

Maybe Quake and Titanfall are bad games because of jumping according to these people or maybe they never heard the term movement arena shooters before or maybe they forgot Doom 2016 literally also had jumping and platforming. Also if you misstep a platform in 2016 you died and had to reload an entire checkpoint in Eternal it takes a bit of health away and puts you back to the place you were. One guy even said he dead more in Eternal from platforming which is laughable because that means they had to repeatedly fail a straight forward platforming section that even a 5 year old can complete 30 times before they lost all the health and dead lol. Some of the points make zero sense and have to be trolls. Expand

    I didn't like the Doom 2016 when it came out never understood the appeal. It was like a bland Halo and painkiller mixed together with Doom 3 art style never felt like true Doom game. I loved Doom 1 and 2. Doom 3 was not bad either but it was its own thing. Was huge fan over Quake, Serious Sam and Unreal Tournament games.

The art style for this one is great it looks much more like the originals but in modern HD graphics. The gameplay is a fun refined version of the previous with crazier movement, tougher challenge, more refined combat, more interesting levels and cooler enemies to fight. I also got more Warhammer or Quake gothic vibes from levels which was great. I would give it 8.5 but on Metacritic you have to give a non decimal number so I give it a 9. Expand

    I really like the gameplay, immersive experience, nice graphics. Single player campaign mode is really good and intuitive. Only drawback is official multiplayer is doodoo.

    This game is good. it has realistic and accurate physics in fighting, and is very satisfying to beat on harder difficulties. the unique AI in the game is like no other in FPS games. This is a very creative game in my opinion.

    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.
