    Doom Eternal is one of the best movement based arena shooter. The last one was decent but massively overrated this one improves pretty much everything. Also **** the game awards.

    This game is good. it has realistic and accurate physics in fighting, and is very satisfying to beat on harder difficulties. the unique AI in the game is like no other in FPS games. This is a very creative game in my opinion.

    It takes everything that made its predecessor stand out and takes it to a whole other level. The action got bloodier, the landscapes got bigger, the exploration got better and movement is better than ever. Destroying demons never felt so fun.

Doom Eternal does not really change much from its predecessor and that is a good thing, no reason to change something that worked great. Some tweaks were made to weapons, mostly balance oriented, for example my favorite infinite ammo at full health was removed, but I have to say, it was probably necessary and a good decision. The graphics looks great, the graphics menu is kinda cool and interesting, it does not allow you to go over your GPU ram, that is a hard cap for you, but otherwise the game performs very well even on a bit older setups. The game font is classic Doom and very cool. The music is very nice as always, although for some reason, I do not think it was as good as in 2016. The story is simple, not long cutscenes, codex is short and completely optional, exactly what you expect and want from a Doom game. I played on the second highest difficulty all the way through, I had a few deaths here and there, it was perfect for me. I think second to last boss fight was the hardest for me. The game has some minor cosmetics microtransactions despite the promise it will have absolutely none, that is a shame, also no SJW politics. I have not played the DLCs yet.

    With Doom Eternal you get exactly what you expect, I have been playing Doom since mid nineties and I hope there is plenty more to come in this great series. Final Verdict: 87 %    … Expand

    i understand why alot of people like this game, but it is not perfect as some people claim, i found doom (2016) to be more consistant and focused, with doom eternal looks better of course, more colorful and more enjoyable gun experience but it adds to much unnecessary stuff like platforming which make it unfocuesd.
    another thing, the game like to keep conecting to the internet alot even when playing the campaign and i found that to be annoying.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay and Music save this game. Definitely worth picking up though, dont get me wrong. The story was supposed to be the focal point but, while present, it still somehow manages to take a back seat. It's led a cast of forgettable characters that show up, expound, and disappear. Other than one moment in particular, you don't learn much about the canon. The platforming is fine enough to break up the combat, but gets too Mario 64 for its own good sometimes. The visual style of the game is way too arcade-y, and completely lost the grittiness of Doom 2016. The combat mechanics are good and make each encounter its own puzzle to figure out. But they gutted their multiplayer completely just to introduce a new mode, which currently is the only multiplayer mode available. No reason to cut out death match, this is Doom. Replayability is a bit low because of this. The content in the Fortress of Doom also is only accessible through there, giving you very little reason to 100% the game. The whole Fortress of Doom is awful tbh. The Marauder also could have been implemented better. A very challenging boss encounter, but every encounter after that he slows combat to a crawl. Mick Gordon kills it though, this is 100% soundtrack of the year… Expand

    Rip & Tear until it is done!
    DOOM Eternal is the pinnacle of the Single Player First Person Shooter genre in many ways.
    The gameplay mechanics are flawless, everything works as intended, every single weapon serves its purpose very well and the skill tree is solid. The soundtrack is fantastic, fits perfectly with the aggressive gameplay, and most tracks are bangers. It's worth to note    Rip & Tear until it is done!

    It's worth to note that some areas look absolutely gorgeous!
    The level design is great, running around in the battlefield, slaying demons, parkouring and picking up unique power-ups never gets old.

    However, in terms of gameplay I have one complain, I personally didn't enjoy the platforming, there's too much of it and most of the times it's completely unnecessary.

    Also, the story is very bad, it's laughably pretentious, tries way too hard to make you feel cool and portrays Doom Slayer as a badass demon slayer in a... cringey way, every human worships him and gets scared of him as he's just minding his own business, I think it would've been better if there was some subtlety.

    My biggest criticism would be the repetitiveness and the quest design.
    Every single mission felt like a fetch quest, and combined with some overpowered enemy types (specifically the Archvile), it made some parts of the game extremely frustrating.
    I really liked the Marauder though, he's perhaps one of my favorite enemy types in the game.

    All in all, this game feels like a blast from the past.
    It's very arcadey and old school but modern at the same time and I liked that! Even though it gets repetitive at times, it's such a "videogame" in every sense of the word.

    First let me say that Doom Eternal is a great game. But it's also not perfect.

    Doom Eternal is less a first person shooter and more of a twitch combat platformer. The game feels fun to play but it's not a shooter and while it "feels" like a DOOM game it doesn't play like one. The guns all feel good and have cool modifications. However the game was over tweaked. The enemies you fight    First let me say that Doom Eternal is a great game. But it's also not perfect.

    Doom Eternal is less a first person shooter and more of a twitch combat platformer. The game feels fun to play but it's not a shooter and while it "feels" like a DOOM game it doesn't play like one.

    The guns all feel good and have cool modifications. However the game was over tweaked. The enemies you fight all have a "weakness" to a specific gun or gun modification. However some modifications were unintentionally hampered or made irrelevant by certain game play designs. The biggest one being ammo starvation.

    Doom Eternal's biggest problem is that it says it's a shooter but starves you of ammunition requiring you to do things other then shooting. They did this to create incentives to using the chainsaw. In Doom 2016 I saved the chainsaw gas for very large troublesome enemies so I conserved ammunition for the hordes of hell. In Doom Eternal the devs have create the perverse incentive to use the chainsaw because it's the only way to reliably get ammunition for your guns. Glory kills on weak enemies no longer reward ammunition but only health which on the higher difficulties is also a necessity.

    This makes the game much faster paced but also changes the game to be less of a first person shooter. So far quite a few of my friends have expressed regret at buying the game or have returned it. I enjoy it but I can definitely see where they're coming from.

    My biggest regret is how hyped I became for the regular shotgun rotating auto mod that makes it a chain gun with shotgun shells. This seems amazing however with ammo scarcity it renders the mod useless as you burn through your ammo in a few seconds. The same can be said for other mods like the plasma rifles beam mod. It requires you to hold it onto an enemy in order to blow them up. The problem is it slows you down and will likely get you killed. This is what we mean by over tweaking or as other reviewers have put it over engineering.

    And finally the plot. This game is a continuation of Doom 2016 but the inherent problem is it skips some much needed plot. How did we the Doom Slayer get to where we are in Doom Eternal from the end of Doom 2016? Otherwise the games god some heaven/hell plot with the concept of balance and corruption. The biggest thing the game has going for it is the big plot twist regarding the slayer (for spoilers sake I won't go into detail) however the cost for this plot is a level that's "entirely on the rails" that doesn't really engage you.

    Doom Eternal is definitely a good game, possibly even great. But it's not quite a "Doom" game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The overall gameplay was fun. The flow of combat, level design and difficulty was perfect for a doom game. If you liked the previous game, you will enjoy this one just as well. The only complaint i can dig up if i really nitpick is... you can sometimes get buried under a horde of demons and get stuck unable to move. But as Dark Souls players would say "git gud" and it won't happen too often.

    The soundtrack once again, amazing. I've never been more awake playing a video game.

    Story wise... well that's where it kinda falls apart.
    Doomguy 2016 was a badass on a quest for revenge after his heart and soul were shattered.
    Doomguy 2020 is a mindless psychopath killing **** just because.
    something tells me the original writer didn't take part in making this game.
    Doom was never about story, but i always prefer games with stories because they allow me to see the world through the character's eyes. Feel what they feel. Use their motivation as my own.
    So if you're going to do a story, you better **** do it right.
    I started this game with the motivation of "i was betrayed, time to kill **** and ended it with "unga bunga, me smash, you go boom boom". The only motivation i had for finishing this game was the compulsion to do a 100% run.
    A little disappointed that the fan theories and previously set Lore was all just... blood punched out of existence and all that remains is this new doomguy that i really can't relate with nor do i want to.    … Expand

    It's the raw cerebral intensity of Quake married with Doom's enemy roster and its violent, cathartic attitude.

Enjoying this game requires a certain frame of mind, a certain willingness to push yourself and to think in the heat of the moment. But it's extremely rewarding if you meet it on its own terms. Nearly every weapon feels like it has a significant role, a stark contrast to Doom 2016's promotion of 2 weapon playstyles. Ammo counts have been massively reduced, pushing the player towards intelligent use of their loadout. Overall, the way I would describe this difference is that Doom 2016 treats its weapons as a set of toys, in which any can be used at any time without too much consequence. Doom Eternal treats them as tools, and you have to use them well to achieve success.

    The Doom Slayer is more mobile in every possible way and the combat is even more fast paced. Enemies are smarter, more aggressive and more varied across the board. New abilities like the blood punch, flame belch and ice grenade have been added, and provide even more tactical depth.

    The end result of all of this is a hyper-intense gameplay loop of constant movement, weapon swapping, and decision making. It makes you feel like a demon-slaying god when you finally overcome. It's extremely engaging to the point that I keep coming back even after like 4 playthroughs.

    All in all, from a gameplay standpoint it's one of the best SP FPS games ever, and a clear improvement over Doom 2016 in all of the ways that matter most. There's really not much else like this in the modern market. In an age in which arena shooters and movement based shooters are dying and the market is overwhelmingly shifting towards slower, less intense genres like tactical shooters and Battle Royales, it's nice to know that a game like this can still be made and find success. I'll get sappy for a second and say this: Thank you, id Software. You're the only AAA developer that still cares about the things I value in a shooter.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can only really complain about... 3 aspects of the game. Everything else, brilliant, even as I was being stupid about a "puzzle".

    1st aspect of the game, I didn't really enjoy the 5 purple goo portions. Everywhere else you're free to run about as fast as you'd like. It just felt like an arbitrary addition to the game, but as it was only a handful of sections, it's okay. Just... It didn't feel right.

    2nd aspect, the Kahn Maykr fight was... not as epic as it should've felt. The arena's getting flooded with fire and enemies are shooting at you, and that's fine, but the music falls short. It's intense, but it's action horror intense rather than the bloodpumping music that plays during combat encounters. I guess it applies to the final boss as well, but it fitted more there.

    3rd aspect... Marauders... Hot damn, those **** are unnecessarily tough. Getting too close and you get a face full of shotgun. Getting too far away and you get a face full of axe. Shooting them leads to your shots ricocheting off their shield, and they have a spectral dog that has a wonky hit animation that somehow manages to bite me in the ass 9/10 times. They have what feels like 2 seconds of opportunity where you can get some damage in, but doing not enough damage means it's back to dodging and weaving. Getting a Glory Kill on these bastardised demons FEELS great, though, and those Glory Kills make you feel like you're in the mind of the Slayer himself.

    For some reason people are complaining about short ammo capacity. You get a Chainsaw before you burn through your starting 16 shotgun shells, and it's on recharge, meaning it's always there when you need it to fill your ammo reserves. If you somehow manage to run out of ammo before getting the Chainsaw and not being able to progress because of it... Please tell me how you managed that.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is awesome. Lots of fun! I enjoyed everything about this game until...... Urdak happened. Urdak is the second to last level of the game. I seriously was in awe of how much fun this game was, I was enjoying it so much until this level happened. Urdak brought my fun to a screeching stop. It went from this fast paced fps with occasional platforming, to a gimmicky platforming game with some fighting and it also brought in new enemies that added to my frustrations. There was a specific jump section that killed me multiple times, not because I wasn't good enough but because it was horribly designed. Finally when I thought I was done with the level, it had the lamest boss fight to add to the crappy level. Seriously this level took all my joy for the game away, it made me just want to be done with game, and it ruined the final level for me The final level was actually really cool but I was so mad at that point. Urdak cost this game 2 points. This game was easily a 10/10 but that level ruined the final act of the game. Still having said all that hate, I still enjoyed 90% of this game.

    After the first update, the game requires Denuvo Anti Cheat installed right by your system kernel, even if you want to play the campaign. If you uninstall the anti cheat, Bethesda launcher will attempt to install ir every time you run the game.

    Doom Eternal features 2 modes, an online competitive mode where a demon slayer is heavily unfairly matched with infinitely spawning player controlled demons that just isn’t really fun unless you’re on the demon side, so imam just throw that mode away and focus on the reason everyone is buying doom eternal.. its hefty 17 hour long demon filled campaign, and this campaign is really great… here you play as a demon slayer, taking on zombies and demons on earth as well as mars, going through a fairly linear campaign, but one filled with traversal and platforming, which is a very welcomed change.. however I feel this new addition takes a back seat to the straight up demon slaying, which on paper sounds fine, but ultimately it leads to an incohesive feeling world that feels like a bunch of random video game elements stapled together.. and this is Doom Eternals biggest issue…. Nothing feels purposeful, it feels mindless and repetitive from start to finish, none of the levels are memorable, the combat is constant, never giving you a chance to breathe or explore, it’s a headache… playing through doom eternal is an enjoyable headache.. but still a headache…
    combat that time around is much more enjoyable though. Enemies having their weaknesses, making almost every battle feel like a puzzle despite feeling mindless at the same time, rarely leading to frustrating encounters.. but don’t get me wrong.. those encounters do exist.. though rare.. theres one over powered enemy specifically that kills all and any fun youll be having with this game in an instant… more specifically in one area of the game where youre trapped with him and a snake enemy, and no ammo or health really around… which brings me to another gripe I have with doom eternal, its health and ammo situation… ammo health and armor really feel nonexistent in doom eternals world, instead the game relies on you using your abilities to obtain armour and health, you can catch enemies on fire and freeze them, you have chainsaw enemies for ammo… but I just feel like id much rather have ammo drops after killing enemies than forced to find a small one I can chainsaw..wait for that chainsaw to refuel and do it again… the chainsaw system in general is a nonsensical mess… you can store up to 3 chainsaw attacks, however there is no enemy you can kill with 2 fuels… so whats the point… theres 1 and theres 3… and then you have enemies later on that cant be attacked with the chainsaw at all because theyre too big… these enemies should be reserved for 3.. and the middle large enemies killed with 2.. it just leads to fuel hording, and the payoff is never worth it.. but that can be said for this games weapons as well, youre given amazing weapons towards the end of the game, but rarely any fuel to use them, which begs me to ask.. why even give them to me in the first place.. especially the sword… this item didn’t come into play and was basically unusable until the final boss… but if this was that weapons only purpose, I suppose that’s okay… but I feel if that is the case you should’ve just waited longer to give it to me… All in all I do feel Doom Eternal is a great game, its fun zombie slaying to heavy metal, theres a crazy amount of weapons, and different ways to upgrade these weapons, customize them to your gameplay… but just don’t believe the hype… go into doom eternal expecting a great game and not an amazing game or a masterpiece and you surely wont be disappointed…
    But if you go in expecting game of the year, youre going to get smacked with level design and gameplay that feels plucked out of the old god of war games with guns stapled to it

They infused the razor sharp core DOOM game-play, of: dodge, shoot and murder, with pointless accounting. Every single mechanic that was added to this game that wasn't already there in DOOM 2016 is basically cool-down dependent tedium that just gets in the way. This is like DOOM 2016 if the DOOM slayer had to periodically take a break from killing a mancubus to do his taxes, take a piss, flame then chainsaw imp for ammo and armor, punch a random zombie for health, and then go back and do a bit more damage to the mancubus before running out of ammo. And then having to repeating the tedium all over again. The DOOM slayer can't just feed the ugly bastard a steady stream a missiles until it pops, like the in the good old days. No. First, shoot the fist guns, on each hand, because those are the first 2 "weak spots", then you can finish it off. Do it any other way and you run out of ammo, because all other parts of the body, other than the arbitrary weak spot, take almost no damage before the weak spot "check-boxes" are ticked off. This applies to all "big" monsters.

    DOOM 2016 gave you a problem, a box of tools, and then let you decide how to best murder everything. DOOM Eternal gives you a problem, a rusted, barely functional, set of tools, and a very rigid and convoluted procedure to follow. Try and use the tools any other way than for the intended "problem" (weak spot) and you realise your weapons are actually dollar-store water guns that shoot piss and glowing dog turds.

I find so many things about this game way more annoying than Doom 2016. The people saying this game is better are out of their damn minds. It seems like there are so many poorly designed things in this game. Many really frustrating/annoying and buggy things that make me think very poorly of the people that made this game.

    If you want to collect all the items/secrets it's pretty much required to use a guide. Even with them being revealed on the map it's still extremely obscure how you're supposed to get to many of them.

    I see later on that you're supposed to use the chainsaw to get ammo, but that's a really bad mechanic due to the fact that it only regens 1/3 and you need 3/3 to kill big guys, so you can't just waste it on little guys to get ammo or you won't have it when you need it.

    Difficulty level of certain parts was just ridiculous. I've been playing competitive FPS games at a high level for over a decade. I had to BOTH set it to the easiest difficulty AND choose the special armor option that basically makes you invincible. There's just too much going on at once, too fast. Two bosses plus 15 different enemies shooting, throwing, and charging you from all sides. Pure chaos. The way the battle was designed just completely zapped my interest.

    I found it more enjoyable on the lowest difficulty where I could actually focus on using the many tools they give you, rather than just running around trying not to get hit. They even nerfed the BFG to the point where it only kills small to medium enemies.

    The last fight was dumb and more of the same chaos. I was glad when the game was over. I definitely regret buying this game.

    Ancient Gods DLC 1 is just more of the same but more fighting, harder enemies, and new enemies. And even more problems that constantly make me say "what a garbage game".

    Ancient Gods DLC 2 - finally they do something right. The sentinel hammer is good design. And they finally make the auto shotgun usable in certain situations. Final boss fight was incredibly boring and a total waste of time.    … Expand

    id software's mismanagement of the franchise's OST and music creator Mick Gordon is a disgrace and should be apologized for. Corporate culture is a cancer in general, but it seems it ate away id Software's integrity. The fans and the franchise deserves better than the current Id management. Marty Stratton should publicly apologize and resign. His behaviour is inexcusable.

    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.
