    Doom Eternal is one of the best first-person shooter campaigns I’ve ever played.

    Every new Doom is the best game since the last one!
    No other option, 1010 as every other game in series.

    It's the best FPS i have played in a long time. it distills everything that made 2016 so good refined further and even adds some more story. While it is not for everyone I can honestly say it is quite the experience and deserves a play if you are even glancing at it.

    An amazing achievement in single-player FPS. This does what Witcher 3 did to an RPG. It takes all the best from the genre, balances nicely, adds jaw-dropping environments and music. ID made a modern MASTERPIECE.

    Doom Eternal is everything I wanted from a Doom sequel and more. The OST is even better than the original, the pace is insane, don't move and you die, you are always with low ammo. Enemies look familiar to Doom ][. I love the new 'Mario bros-like' additions of jumping through hoops. It feels like a modern version of Doom ][ meets Mario World.

    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? Go play Animal Crossing or some NINTENDO and leave this to the grown ups. The ammo system is just fine. If you played Doom before you know how to get it. The chainsaw pretty much refills your ammo.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?

I don't know what else do you guys want from an old school fast pace. I think any difficulty other than Nightmare in this game is a piece of cake. The atmosphere is awesome too. All the lore about the secret bases from the government gives us immersion too. This game is 10/10 to me. All the negative reviews from these delicate kids makes me wanna puke. Everyone is entitled to your own opinion, but, if you're playing a hardcore game full of graphic violence you shouldn't expect for SOY MOMENTS. Period!… Expand

    It took me a little while to warm up to this game. Early on, it irked me that forces you to focus a lot on arbitrary, non sensical mechanics: for example, chainsawing enemies to get ammo. Demons infighting is unnecessarily frequent. And I missed tearing enemies apart with my barehands.

And I missed tearing enemies apart with my barehands.
    But once i met with my first jumping puzzle, I started to warm up to the game. Its a sophisticated experience that challenges you in so many ways. It's not the simple pointing and shooting of Call of Duty, or the mindless catharsis of Doom 2016. It's a really brainy, challenging experience.
    Soon my warmth became red hot. As another reviewer aptly said, you feel like an unstoppable force of nature. But what's truly a pleasant surprise is the story. When it comes together about 75% of the way through the game (after seeming disjointed and confusing), it's actually something incredible, and serves to answer an important religious paradox in a very edgy and powerful way.
    Doom 2016 was mindless catharsis. Doom Eternal is so much more.    … Expand

    DOOM Eternal presents a beefy campaign for a modern shooter and raises the violence levels to over-the-top extremes. Multiplayer is unique and interesting. On a high-end PC, the game looks beautiful and obviously sounds orgasmic. The game's sound effects are awesome and make everything feel more satisfying. The soundtrack is metal af and nearly perfect.

    The single-player is a rare treat, offering about 30 hours of gameplay in one shot provided you search for all the collectibles. There are so many different demons, and the game ramps up the difficulty naturally, with the only unfair spikes happening if you take on the Slayer Gate challenges as you come across them. Enemies have weakpoints that you can exploit with certain weapons, all of which are fun and satisfying to use. Use equipment like grenades and flamethrowers to sustain yourself with armor and health pickups, and use the chainsaw to replenish your ammo. Ammo runs out quicker than it did in DOOM 2016, but the chainsaw is easier to use this time, adding to the mayhem.

    Harder difficulties result in more intense pulse-pounding action, and I do recommend setting the difficulty to Ultra-Violence to start. Doomguy moves fluidly by jumping and dashing, and he can hit enemies up close with the powerful, crowd-controlling Blood Punch. There are so many layers to the combat it's insane, and the demons you encounter will all have different optimal ways of dispatch.

    The progression system is nice and fun to partake in, though some may be turned off by the requirement of a Besthesda.net account. Multiplayer is fine but it isn't the game's selling point. While graphical fidelity in the game took a big hit when Devuno-anti-cheat was added, you can still occasionally see low-res textures if you stop to gaze at a wall up close. There's also plenty of lore in the game to get lost in, but some of the codex entries are laborious to read when I just want to get back to the action.

    Besides that, I do highly recommend this game. It's a whirling dervish of exhilaration for anyone who loves the idea of popping demon's eyes out of their sockets and thinks realism is for squares.    … Expand

    Devs did best imrovements that one could imagine. Eternal is superfast - dash is probably the most incredible thing that a shooter of this lvl actually needed (also monkeybars and trampolines). Add to this an awesome shooting strategy (chainsaw for ammo, glorykill - health, flamebelch - armor) and freaking SICK sound by Mick Gordon - Eternal has EVERYTHING a true fan of shooters need.

    Once you get into it, it's actually better than the 2016 version overall. The first 90 minutes I was left thinking that'd they'd made a mistake with the ammo attrition, but thankfully it gets a lot better as you more weapons.

    At first, I thought the platforming is sometimes a bit much, but as you get into it and comfortable, you start to love it. both games had that to some degree.

    At first, I thought the platforming is sometimes a bit much, but as you get into it and comfortable, you start to love it. both games had that to some degree. If you don't like first person platforming this is NOT the game for you. Do yourself a favour and turn off the environment screen shake as it's obnoxious when climbing walls.

    The ammo counts are a bit too low in early game, resulting in too much survival based combat with the chainsaw and glory kills being required mandatory tasks rather than fun things you could do as and when you chose to. I also don't like how you can't now just equip the chainsaw and run around with it. Yes, it didn't really serve any gameplay purpose to do that over this new system, but it still just felt badass. However once you realise the chainsaw auto-regens it makes this a lot more palatable as you don't need to constantly hunt for fuel and you can actually use it far more often m/

    The UI is a downgrade though - the lime green / yellow art style doesn't suit the game and looks a bit cheap. The art style for the UI in the first game was so much better, and that can't be overstated. The font choices they have used are really awful.

    Audio is improved from the first one though, where the sound effects previously weren't always that good and there were some questionable EQ. The music mix is also improved, it's just as epic but a less fatiguing mix. The default mix does put the music way too loud though, but this can be adjusted.

    The game plays and runs superbly well though and the visuals are amazing - if you liked the first one, then you'll probably like this one, just give yourself an hour to get the first sections out the way as they are not the most inspiring.    … 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.
