    Did you just get off work? Are you pissed off? Did you just nose blast a rail of that sweet Columbian good-good? Then this game is for you. Yeah overall it's great if blasting demons is your thing, and you don't want the hastle of a deep story that you have to pay attention to.

    Very fast paced gameplay, although the game does throw a lot at you in terms of abilities and upgrades, although once you get the hang of it, very fun game to play.

    I love the HELL out of this game. There are some aspects of the Doom immediately prior to this that I love. The simplicity. However, I feel that Doom Eternal is in general a much more challenging game. The action in this game never ends, and the music is fantastic. The visceral deaths feel so good in this game, and there are so many ways to kill your enemies. Weapon modifiers are wellI love the HELL out of this game.

Weapon modifiers are well thought out and most of them are practical. Doesn't feel like your wasting your time upgrading your gear, and on top of that the game has weekly challenges keeps you coming back along with cheats that you can add to the game to change the pace of things. It's worth it. If it's on sale please buy it, you won't regret it.… Expand

    FPS perfection in terms of gameplay and thats before the supposed fixes have come in for bloodpunch and the infamous "no target".

    PROS
    - Another absolute banger. The base game has some really amazing tracks and even though the DLC music was composed by different people it all fits into the gameplay like no other.
    - The enemies. Every enemy has a place and a reason to exist on the chess board. Some are incredibly punishing like a carcass up close. Others are just fodder meant for ammo or armour. But they all fit    PROS
    - Another absolute banger. The base game has some really amazing tracks and even though the DLC music was composed by different people it all fits into the gameplay like no other.

    - The enemies. Every enemy has a place and a reason to exist on the chess board. Some are incredibly punishing like a carcass up close. Others are just fodder meant for ammo or armour. But they all fit beautifully into the Doom dance. Even the Marauder. Just watch Under The Mayo's video about him if you're unable to confidently figure out a way to get through him. He's nowhere near as bad as others have made him out to be.

    - The shooting. Every weapon is fun to shoot, responsive and impactful. Enemies are pulled apart with the new gore system and no weapon feels underwhelming or useless.

    - The controls. Doom guy controls wonderfully (especially when you get the rune to control yourself in mid air better) and zipping around the arena with your dash, swinging off poles and meathooking yourself into the air is incredible. The sense of speed never feels like too much.

    - The combat. On Nightmare the enemies are relentless. This is where the Doom dance shines. You will likely have to get used to quick switching weapons, constantly flame belching, ice bombing and glory killing to stay alive. In 2016 moving in 1 direction wouldn't result in much of a punishment. In Eternal you have to be moving in all directions to properly avoid being hit and I love it all the more for that. Using your chainsaw as an ammo refill was a neat little addition that I personally grew to love a lot along with the flame belch for armour refills.

    - The visuals. This game looks even better than 2016. The vistas are incredibly, textures are higher, enemies are designed to look more closely like their original sprites and the detail on them in terms of textures and animations is top notch.

    - The performance. No game performs like Doom does whilst looking this good. I've never had frame drops from too much happening on screen nor have I ever encountered slow downs from too many enemies spawning in at once. Truly remarkable how well this game runs. Playing this on ultra, at 144hz at 3440x1440 is amazing.

    CONS
    - The story unfolds in a very expository manner. Entire concepts that doom guy would already know about are spoken directly to the player instead of being shown or leaving that information to a codex for those who care to read about it.

    - The crashing. I have had several crashes throughout my time and have never been able to figure out why. At 1 stage I played about 16 hours without an issue (my first playthrough). Then I had about 4 different crashes over about 10 hours of gametime. Just recently I've been practicing some Ultra Nightmare runs and it hasn't crashed once. Its been very inconsistent.

    - As of 16 MAR 21 you will likely encounter issues with the bloodpunch and chainsaw. The bloodpunch will sometimes not activate at all or you'll have an enemy highlighted orange for a glory kill but you'll blood punch it instead. With the chainsaw you could be closer than you actually need to be but have the game not register the attack and flash "no target" or you'll get the same message flash up if you try using it against a demon thats in the middle of some animations. The latter instance is inconsistent in of itself though as I've managed to chainsaw many imps whilst they were leaping between platforms.

    - Ground attacks from certain enemies have a tendency to activate infinite tracking at times. I've had some attacks fall short as I dashed backwards. Others rounded corners and somehow followed me into the air. It doesn't happen often but its frustrating when it does.

    - Conclusion: An amazing fps/action game    … Expand

    If you like fast-paced FPS shooters from hell, then there is nothing faster or more intense than this that I know of. The best game in the DOOM series yet. Although DOOM 2016 is still awesome, DOOM Eternal is one step ahead. Action non-stop, mixed with some small puzzles and collectibles. Highly recommended!

    Easily one of the best FPS of all time. I don't know how they made it even better than Doom 2016. You get a chain saw and a hook harpoon attached to your double-barrel shotgun.

    Oh my god this game not only looks gorgeous and is more challenging than its predecessor, but whenever I play I become the unstoppable Exodia as I rip & tear demons across different dimensions while heavy metal blasts in the background. All at once my stress and anger of from the real world melts away. Kar En Tuk!

    Doom (2016) ramped up to 1000. Better, mechanically deeper and harder. Endlessly fun.

    Great game. Big improvement over Doom 2016 but its more demanding and has higher skill gap. Requires you to turn on your brain and think rather than mindless shooting of Doom 2016.

    Played the base game along with playing DLC 1 and 2. Its honestly one of my favorite games that I have ever played. The DLC's alone expand more than I could have ever imagined and could be a separate game on its own. It also does not have any micro transactions! You actually earn the ♥♥♥♥ by playing the game on different difficulties through the campaign, gamemodes, and multiplayer. ThisPlayed the base game along with playing DLC 1 and 2.

    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.
