    Its not a Doom game.

    Maximum ammo capacity makes Doom Slayer look like a bloody midget w/o arms. Balance of enemy health is terrible. Level design is piss poor. Constant unavoidable finishers to sustain ammo / health is just a chore instead of being satisfying, not to mention gameflow disruption. Graphics style choices make everything look cartoon-ish instead of brutal. Don't buy

You are always distracted by some stupid notifications, camera flyovers and cutscenes. The "story" is a joke they made up to connect totally unconnected areas you are teleported all the time., the style is quite different. Gameplay is like ID devs had a brainstorm all the time and it was like "uh oh, lets add this thing and that and all this stuff on top". As a result we have 5 different upgrade systems - for weapons, for weapons upgrades, for the suite, for the runes, for the ship + all the cosmetics etc. And if in Doom 2016 it was quite clear and useful, here it's just a mess. Platforming ... why? Who wants jumps and ledgers and wall-climb in Doom? Then we have ammo-armor-health system. Could you imagine that you will be constantly out of ammo in Doom? So that instead of shooting demons and having fun you must constantly think when to set them on fire, when to use chainsaw to get ammo etc? And what if you are out of ammo AND fuel for chainsaw? That's it, you are dead.
    So for everyone who was hoping for a sequel for a great 2016 game, this is NOT it. It's sumthing slow, cumbersome and overloaded upgrade nonsense.

    Good, but actually worse than the previous version. Too many fiddly controls, and genuinely appalling platform run and jump bits come close to ruining the game entirely. It's still great fun when it remembers what it's supposed to be.

    In DOOM 2016 I felt badass! All them demons were my **** and I was there to make them pay!

    Now I feel like I'm just doing jumping puzzles half the time which are increasing in difficulty so you barely know where the **** you're supposed to go and the rest of the time I'm fighting for my ****ing life. I'm their ****ing **** now. I even went down in difficulty and it still feels hectic as **** and not that I am in any way shape or form in control of anything.

    I guess this might be purposeful. I could be squishy in the first half of the story for a reason and later go crazy bananas overpowered. I'm hoping.

    If not then this was a downgrade from 2016 for me. I can see what they wanted to do with the game. But I doubt this will pay off.

    2016 was a great balance of fighting, running and jumping.

    This is so off balance, it's like someone forcing you to have a paintball battle in a tiny little playground with swings, carouselles and slides but the floor is lava and pieces fall off if you stand still for one second.

    **** just too damned busy.

    My two cents.

    I'm really disappointed because I really enjoyed 2016 doom but this one is not fun at all, you always have to do the same boring loop glory kill => chainsaw to stay alive and have ammo because they decrease really fast and most of the time you die extremely quickly even in medium, and you have too much stuff to deal with like grenade launcher, flame thrower.
    They are too much upgrades in this game (Runes + mods + weapons points + armor points + Health/ammo/Armor, platform phases are really bad and the game design is not really good ( sometimes you looking for exits for minutes).
    It's clearly different from the fast Fps of 2016 and even if you liked doom 2016 you may not like this one, test are not enough I advise you to see some gameplay video to have make your own idea if you want to buy this game.

Вот огромное озеро лавы, вот в нем гигантский демон, вот небо и вон шпиль вдали. Красиво. С другой стороны - радужное кислотное разнообразие, полностью убивающее атмосферу. Вот тебе неоново-салатовое обозначение пролома в стене, вот тебе розовые пятна, вот желтые. Когда убиваешь врага из него высыпается радужный дождь. Надеюсь фанаты сделают патч, который сделает цвета приглушенными - игра сразу прибавит в атмосфере, точнее у игры появится атмосфера. Сейчас ее нет, она убита. Стрельба - хороша, не уступает Дум 2016. Передвижение - добавили блинк, причем двойной, добавили платформинг. Я к данным вещам в целом хорошо отношусь, для меня они не являются минусом. Другой момент - как именно оформлен платформинг. Помните уровень из Дум 2016, когда надо было по обрушившейся железной дороге подвесной идти, и там были прыжки? - там все было оформлено логично, смотрелось гармонично. Уровень внутри гигантского аргент-реактора - то же самое, никаких вопросов, все гармонично. А в Дум этернал - вот тебе платформы, просто висящие в воздухе, а еще вот тебе огненная вращающаяся палка, полностью скопированная из Марио, из поздемных уровней. А еще вот тебе секретки спрятанные, они обозначены не как просто лежащие на полу игрушки думгая, как в Дум 2016, здесь они обозначены как гигантские вопросительные знаки, висящие в воздухе. Жри, не обляпайся. Атмосфера детского сада. Визуал - постоянная радуга все убивает. И если у тебя во время игр бывает головокружение - вот в эту игру тебе точно нельзя играть, здесь весь этот фейерверк красок просто убьет тебя. Музыка хороша, Мик Гордон никуда не делся. Сюжет здесь максимально убогий, при том тебя заставляют его слушать - вот тебе какой-то додик, и он начинает тебе что-то впаривать, вот три жреца каких-то, война, бла бла бла. Технически игра работает у меня нормально, не вылетает, не фризит. Итог - ну очень неоднозначный проект. Бесконечно лучше, чем Фолаут 76 или Вольфенштейн янгблад, но гораздо хуже, чем Дум 2016. UPD - удалил ее нафиг. Полный мусор. К пятому часу игры понимаешь, насколько на самом деле здесь убогая боевка. Однообразное нудное убожество. Слишком жирные враги, патронов вообще нет, вот эта идиотская система - переключись на одно, чтоб убить этого врага, потом на другое, чтоб убить второго. Говнище. Визуал - мусор. огромные цветовые элементы полностью все убивают. Вот тебе крутая локация, а теперь мы натыкаем на ней светящиеся убогие огромные светящиеся блямбы, и игра будет выглядеть как Paladins. Бесезда официально объявляется говноделами. Кстати, из ИД софтвар свалили все люди из старой команды, там только название осталось. Дум 2016 года - один из лучших шутеров всех времен. Дум этернал - мусор ублюдошный. Обходите стороной. Expand

    This game is an improvement over DOOM 2016 in just about every way imaginable. If you don't like a more "videogamey" aesthatic with bright colours for pick ups and all that, then I guess the presention isn't gonna be your cup of tea. But everything else is just so much better, if you're up for the challenge. This time you actually have to manage your ammo and pay attention to how you kill your enemies to get what you need (Health, Armor or Ammo). It seems like this is what some people take issue with and if you like your games mindless then I guess there's nothing for you here. You defintely have to think about what you're doing and stay on your toes. I remember I almost never used the chainsaw in DOOM 2016 because there was plenty of ammo to go around. In Eternal it's absolutely necessary and I end up using it in pretty much every encounter. In general you'll end up using everything at your disposal. Not because you ran out of ammo on your favourite weapon but because it's mandatory if you want to stay alive. There really is a weapon (and weapon mod) for every situation and you'll constantly be switching between them.

    Also the environments are very varied and look great! In DOOM 2016 everything looked pretty samey. Not here.

    I really can't praise this game enough but I don't want to spend all day writing this review. The main takeaway is that it's designed in a way that forces you to use everything at your disposal if you want to survive, much moreso than DOOM 2016, regardless of difficulty mode. (I'm playing on Ultra-Violence) This makes the whole experience extremely engaging. There's not a single thing I can think of that's a downgrade over its predecessor. And the only downside in general imo is that they kept the mission challenges. I'm just not a fan of these kinds of artificial challenges but I know I'm in the minority there and it's not a huge deal anyway.

    Just don't get the physical copy like I did. Otherwise you'll have to deal with Bethesda's awful Launcher and all the headaches that come with that. Buy it on steam. :)

    DooM 2016 was a fantastic game. It had great pacing and enabled a variety of tactics - positioning, crowd management, ammo conservation and deciding how to deal with each group of enemies anew. All this while telling a great story, through exploration of humanity's failed ambitions on Mars. You really felt like the lone outsider who ignores all plans and advice because he's seen it all before.

    DooM Eternal feels uninspired and like it barely avoided becoming a generic loot shooter.

    Right upon launching the game, you find out that you'll either sign up for Bethesda.net or the game won't let you play. After all, you need to claim your "rewards" check out how you're now the Super Amazinglicious Slayer Level 159 with special weapon skin number #34 or whatever :-(

    Behind that is a very repetitive and gimmicky arena shooter. For some reason the DooM slayer now has an unexplained "sanctuary" from which he launches "missions" and some voice is telling him what to do (and he actually complies...)

    Gameplay-wise, you'll find that you can only carry enough ammo to defeat 4-5 low-level enemies and that the game is utterly overloaded with gimmicks. Poor Doom Slayer can hardly walk 100 steps without having to watch a cutscene, grab a weapon mod, collectible, new punching skill, new special ability, stat upgrade etc.

    And swinging around on poles, grabbing onto walls? Doesn't really work for this game. I'm loosing the will to continue playing... I've already got a flamer (R), chainsaw (C), fist (E) / blood fist (E) that the game continuously forces me to use to get ammo/health. I wonder how many more "moves" remain to be dumped on me (certainly wall running and grappling hook are still out there) that get in the way of enjoying the game.

When you run out of ammo (and you will constantly) you have to cut an enemy with a chainsaw... which also has ammo... to get more ammo.
    The story is told using codex entries which disturbs the flow of the game. I felt like I really wanted to explore the cool environments for loot and lore, but there is none to be had.
    The platforming elements did not impress me.

    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.

    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.
