    Better than 2016 Doom. Story added more depth to it and world felt more immersive than 2016 Doom.

    This game has an incredible campaign, some really nice fast paced game mechanics, the glory kills never get old, and this games' sountrack is absolutely amazing. Gun switching with the Doom series has never gotten old, and the weapons absolutely destroy. Nothing like killing the Demons of Hell.

    Невероятная игра
    Тот редкий случай, когда геймплей круче и динамичнее, чем его показывали в тркйлерах и обзорах сами разрабы

    Do you like parkour? Do you like micromanagement of resources? Do you like restrictive combat and never having any administration? Then you'll love this game. However, for me, this is the worst Doom game ever made.

    Excellent gameplay, adrenaline and violent. Optimized by God Himself. However, there are some smudges such as an artistic direction that in my opinion loses a lot compared to the previous chapter and platform sections that I consider out of place.

    Best fps game of 2010's. Impressive hitting feeling, fun stage design, variety of weapons, great music and great tempo.

    The Story is.... okayish... but the main-protagonist is way too calm and tries to be "serious", You see it at some scenes where he was supposed to act (=whip your gun out and shoot the demon) but he had to stand there and listen calmly.

    And the WORST offender in this game are the platforming-sessions.
    Mario with guns and annyoing platforming-sections.
    Its like the game wants to take everything away that made classic DOOM and DOOM 2016 great.

    Playing through it was a chore, but I didn't even know how bad the 2 DLC's for this cinematic-simulator could be: It got worse every hour!    … Expand

    The combat mechanics are perfect. The story is a tad bit lackluster but this game puts gameplay before anything else. The fast-paced combat mixed with arenas that get more and more difficult as you progress. It's great. The marauder might annoy some people, however the game shows you how to fight one the first time. Also, shooting it with it's shield up means it will spawn the dog. YouThe combat mechanics are perfect. The story is a tad bit lackluster but this game puts gameplay before anything else.

    - frantic action.
    - excellent optimization.
    - ray tracing reflections are awesome : they can be further improved with the following commands in the console : r_raytracedReflectionsTemporalUpscaleQuality=0 and r_SSRMinSmoothness between 0 and 0.5
    - interesting story which gives the genesis of the deamons, hell and chaos.
    - sounds and music are excellent.
    - no woke propaganda which is very rare for an american game.

    The bad :

    - the textures resolution could have been better, even if they are not bad.
    - the action is so intense that the game becomes quickly tiring.
    - the difficulty is quite high : at the beginning, the game is easy but it becomes more and more difficult and at the end, is a nightmare. I was forced to enable the god mode to finish the game.
    - the platforms stages are frustrating.
    - the oppression and threat atmosphere is not present, contrary to its predecessor Doom 3.
    - no weapons sensations (no recoil...).
    - no manual save.
    - very repetitive.

    One of the best FPS on PC.    … Expand

    Doom Eternal, the highly anticipated sequel to the rebooted Doom franchise, is a frenetic and exhilarating first-person shooter that pushes the boundaries of fast-paced action and adrenaline-fueled combat. With its unapologetic emphasis on pure, unadulterated chaos, this game delivers a relentless experience that keeps players on the edge of their seats.

    The combat in Doom Eternal is    Doom Eternal, the highly anticipated sequel to the rebooted Doom franchise, is a frenetic and exhilarating first-person shooter that pushes the boundaries of fast-paced action and adrenaline-fueled combat. With its unapologetic emphasis on pure, unadulterated chaos, this game delivers a relentless experience that keeps players on the edge of their seats.

    The combat in Doom Eternal is the star of the show. It is fast, fluid, and brutally satisfying. The game encourages players to be aggressive and constantly on the move, rewarding skillful maneuvering and precise gunplay. The introduction of the new "Meat Hook" mechanic adds a layer of verticality and strategy, allowing players to swiftly traverse the battlefield and unleash devastating close-quarters attacks. Each encounter is a carefully crafted dance of destruction, requiring quick reflexes and tactical decision-making.

    The level design in Doom Eternal is a masterpiece of intricacy and variety. From the depths of hell to the desolate landscapes of Earth, each location is meticulously crafted with attention to detail. The environments are visually stunning, with a perfect blend of grotesque and awe-inspiring imagery. The levels are filled with secrets to discover, rewarding exploration and offering additional challenges and upgrades for the player. The pacing is superb, seamlessly transitioning between intense combat arenas and atmospheric exploration.

    The game's arsenal of weapons is diverse and satisfying to wield. Each weapon has a distinct feel and purpose, encouraging players to experiment and adapt their playstyle to different situations. The addition of weapon mods and upgrades provides further customization options, allowing players to tailor their loadout to suit their preferences. The range of demonic enemies, each with unique strengths and weaknesses, keeps the combat encounters fresh and challenging throughout the game.

    Doom Eternal's soundtrack is an absolute powerhouse. Composed by Mick Gordon, the heavy metal and industrial-inspired tracks perfectly complement the intense and frenetic gameplay. The music amps up the adrenaline and immerses players in the chaotic world of Doom. The dynamic nature of the soundtrack, with its layered compositions that adapt to the player's actions, adds an extra layer of intensity to the experience.

    The game's presentation is top-notch, with stunning visuals, smooth performance, and a dark and gritty art style. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the grotesque designs of the demons to the visceral animations of the glory kills. The game runs flawlessly, maintaining a high frame rate even during the most intense battles, ensuring a seamless and immersive experience.

    While Doom Eternal is an exhilarating ride from start to finish, it does have a few minor drawbacks. The story, while intriguing, takes a backseat to the relentless action, and the narrative can feel convoluted at times. Additionally, the game's difficulty may be too punishing for some players, requiring precise timing and quick reflexes to succeed.

    Overall, Doom Eternal is a triumphant return to the franchise, delivering a pulse-pounding and visceral experience that sets a new standard for first-person shooters. Its relentless combat, exceptional level design, and stellar presentation create an adrenaline-fueled symphony of chaos and carnage. With its solid gameplay mechanics, awe-inspiring visuals, and an electrifying soundtrack, Doom Eternal is a must-play for fans of the genre. It's a true testament to the power of pure, unadulterated action, earning it a well-deserved 9/10 rating.    … Expand

You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume, although, you have indeed been called. You have all been called here, into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach, but you will never find them. None of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you, although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well. I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away. As the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors, be still and give up your spirits. They don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours, and then, what became of you. I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now. It's time to rest - for you, and for those you have carried in your arms.

    2) Fights have become chaotic. In the last part, the fights were too slow for me, it seems to go faster here, but because of the abundance of flowers and enemies, it is often perceived as a "heap".
    3) There are many small flaws in the game design that don't make the game bad, just make it a bit more awkward. For example exams. In the last game, you had to get runes in such trials. If a player has lost, he can restart the test. If you lose in Doom Eternal, you're save will load BEFORE Trials is activated. +1 key press +1 loading screen. Not that bad, but still a drawback. Tests used to be more diverse. Now - just kill all demons. Boring. etc.
    4) I really don't like the plot changes.
    5) Separately, I mark adding an excessive grotesque, which is simply unnecessary. But he is.

    The rest is hurricane action, it is interesting to play on the Nightmare, in some places the game is even difficult.

    Conclusion:
    Good action but worse than the prequel.    … Expand

    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.
