    Loved Doom 2016 (400+ hours of playtime since autumn last year - yes, I started kind of late), loving this one even more. Everything (gameplay, production values, atmosphere) is top notch apart from the story which could have been better executed (think Bioshock series). One of the best shooters I've ever played.

    Doom 2016 but improved in almost every way and much more challenging, expanded story to connect all games in the series, even Doom64. You are the resource generator now with the chainsaw, flamethrower, and blood punch all being essential tools to survive. Most complaints I see are people who don't understand the new gameplay flow and just said "game bad" since it wasn't as easy to justDoom 2016 but improved in almost every way and much more challenging, expanded story to connect all games in the series, even Doom64.

Best level design I've seen in a game since Halo: CE. Held a solid 144+ 1080p the entire game without a single dip, running on a 2080 but have a fairly outdated CPU. Only real complaint is the Maruaders don't feel fair on higher difficulties.… Expand

    This game is Great, For me it makes doom 2016 look basic. I played this on ultra violence and it was HARD but it was just endless fun. some of the platforming can be a dumb but after a few goes you get there. It's almost flawless but this game is just DOOM with a GOD DAMN GRAPPLING HOOK!

    I really don't get people giving this game a 0. DE is what a shooter should be; liquid fast, intense, with beautiful graphics. The games uses every ounce of your systems computing power to deliver an incredible, sweat-inducing experience. My only issue is the lack of multiplayer. It's what other shooters can NEVER be.

    What i can said the game is amazing all the ppl complaining about the story, the really need to learn to read and fallow a deep lore story, the game connect all doom game together.
    It feel amazing learning the Myth of the Doom Guy or Doom Slayer.

    Love it and i cant wait for the DLC to keep digging on the Doom Lore.

    I feel like with this game they brought DOOM back to it's slightly more arcade-y roots, and in my opinion it works really well. The combat is INSANELY fast paced, the soundtrack is incredible, the platforming sections serve as good cooldown points to help pace the game out a bit more, the lore is intriguing, however my only complaints are with just how MUCH of the lore has to be read,I feel like with this game they brought DOOM back to it's slightly more arcade-y roots, and in my opinion it works really well.

    the greatest game I have played since red dead redemption 2, this game soars past expectations delivering the greatest fps campaign ever! the campaign although did not use much visual story elements it did, however, use long detailed logs describing the events that have transpired. the movement is the greatest element of this game which constantly had me in awe and suspense.

    This game is a must-buy!!! My thoughts on doom eternal are great, I had some raging moments at times. The story is 10/10, gameplay 9/10, the reason why I am giving this a 9 and not a 10 is that the platforming is pretty bad at times. Everything said the game is fantastic.

    Really good! one of the best FPS games out there atm. Focuses on so many good things that are Doom related and with a bit of Quake stuff as well. Also a good focus on the story for those that care about the lore. The weapons feels absolutely Awesome, the game itself feels good overall.

    Cons? Maybe to many platforms to jump on? miss a few gun effects from the Doom 2016 game. There are    Really good! one of the best FPS games out there atm.

    Rip and Tear. Now faster, longer, angrier.
    Enemies are much faster, and much agressive. Creators said - they wanted to make every battle a little puzzle, and they succeed. It is a puzzle for war pilot. On high difficulty you have about same time window for decisionmaking.
    Levels are wider and much longer. Landscapes are the metalliest thing ever. Take any background, and print it on the    Rip and Tear. Now faster, longer, angrier.

    Yes it is arcade, and this game embrase it in every aspect possible.
    This can't be interpeted as fault, because it meant to be this way. You can hate it, but this is not fault. It is artistic choise, and a good one.

    So according to most of the SOY BOYS the game should be easier and having saves and ammo all over the place? What would be the point in dying in the game? DO YOU WANT A WALKING SIMULATOR?

    As with Doom 2016, the gameplay is fast and fun, but a little bit different this time around, with the melee ability being next to worthless, but instead chainsaw ammo replenishes over time up to 1 bar and the ammo for it is more plentiful than 2016. This is important because ammo is extremely scarce, possible too scarce so you will often need to chainsaw fodder enemies to regain some ammo. The main new gameplay mechanic is wall climbing where you can latch onto walls, this is used a lot throughout the game, too much in my opinion, there is a ton of parkour in Doom Eternal. Swimming is also a thing now, for some reason, it’s not needed in Doom but thankfully it’s used sparingly.

    The music is on point as you’d expect from a Doom game, with heavy metal pumping from start to finish, as well as fantastic audio in general.

    Overall the game is a ton of fun with a few downsides, and one awful mission in particular, but even still it’s impressively well made and hard to put down.    … Expand

    Increased abilities, faster movement and very well done pacing.

    I'm amazed that Doom Eternal actually fleshed out more of a story line.

    No SJW content, fast paced gaming that makes you feel like a god.

    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.
