    Doom is excellent. Im not gonna lie here, my initial expectations were low, I expected a slow pace modern wannabe shooter consistent with the quality of games ID put up recently.

My original guess was that it was going to pander to console players by making it slower ( I thought this after I saw the scroll wheel that slowed down game play.) It has been a long while since I have seen a shooter with intelligent map design, design which rewards players for playing the game at a faster pace, in fact I rarely found myself stopping in between combat, if at all. There is secrets galore in this game to. Not only that but the game itself is absolutely beautiful. From the large bosses to the small imps for pistol fodder every part of the game does not lack in design, This game reinvigorated my faith in ID. The online has obviously improved since the beta (Its great, i didn't get the chance to play the beta but I heard complaints) With a larger selections of weapons. In fact I see so many modding possibilities for the multiplayer on PC. After playing leagues and leagues of modern shooters this is the most refreshing multiplayer I have played in a while and will suck in hours and hours of my time I haven't really played around with snap map yet, but Ill be looking forward to it!. Anyway this reinvigorated the franchise and will forever be known as a classic, Amazing job id, i look forward for more… Expand

    This is like Doom meets Quake meets Painkiller with nice graphics. If you like fast paced challenging old school shooters, this is as close as it gets nowadays. You won't find any "realism" (reloading, iron sights) nor any "modern" mechanics (artificial cover, regenerating health, press X to pay respects) here. There is also no meaningful story and no cliche cut-scenes every 5 steps. JustThis is like Doom meets Quake meets Painkiller with nice graphics.

    People saying the game is linear.....I have to say they have no clue what they're talking about. There are many twists and turns, secrets to be found, the game rewards exploration by netting you currency to upgrade gear, armor, etc.

    Amazing graphics, you can even give the game a gritty film grain that takes you into a sort of grindhouse satan/hell exploitation kind of atmosphere. Music is phenomenal, good sound overall, with plenty of texture and makes killing enemies really satisfying.

    Campaign is a blast and the full package. Multiplayer is also quite a bit of fun to play, the loadouts are not my favorite setup, but they make sense - and take a lot of the weapon spawn camping aspect out of the game (which is rampant in other frag fest games like this one.)

    Honestly I was in shock at how thoroughly polished this game felt. Negative reviews on here seem really silly, to the point I feel the negative ratings are there strictly to bring the score down or troll - you cannot loose with this title.    … Expand

I don't really typically like FPSes or games like this. I've evolved to simulations and serious games. I have to say though.. this game is JUST FUN! Some aspects (like finding all the hidden areas) are seriously challenging. The notes about certain technologies and weapons are very creative. The levels are not ment to hand anything to anyone.. just like the original Doom. I am in no way disappointed with my purchase. I plan to go through the campaign again in the hardest setting.. God help me.    … Expand

    A true DOOM game. Fast paced, bad-ass scenery, bad-ass demons, powerups, secrets, badass guns, easter eggs, fan service, and more. If it wasn't your "cup of tea" then you probably aren't much of a Doom fan in the first place.

    This game is fantastic on every level. Score highly on every front. what stands out is gameplay, sound & music, graphics, presentation.
    The secrets are neat, like original doom secrets. The multiplayer is expansive, and snapmap is one of the best level editors for console.

    The game is damn fun. And immersive. Doom (2016) makes doom 3 look really quite poor.

    The story is minimal - and I felt that it's only reason for being there is to somehow explain the demon enemies you need to face. And those are very familiar doom enemies, just in a modern high-res edition. They look great, they've got distinct attack patterns and fighting them is just pure fun.

    The graphics are really well done. Especially the enemy design. But environments are nothing to be ashamed of ass well. Both hell and Mars base are really great looking and well designed.

    The soundtrack is amazing. I heard people prising it before but actually experiencing in in-game is an experience of it's own. High paced heavy metal makes your blood pumping. The other sound effects are top notch as well - especially guns sound really satisfying.

    Hands down a really really cool game with lots of fun to have.    … Expand

Here's the meat of the burger: gameplay. Crazy, loony and berserk madness. These demons are NOT dumb. Well sometimes they are but for the most part they won't stand there and get killed. They're quick, resourceful and armed to the fangs. They're ugly and mean and merciless. The level designs are clever and vast. The navigation and maps are simple and effective so you never get lost or confused. The arsenal is nuts. So many weapons. Where does he put them all?! I did have an issue with the customization as it was TOO elaborate at times. You get two types of grenades which is fine but I could've used a third since I never found out what the Argent grenade did exactly. I rarely used the hologram but it was a nice addition to the equipment stack. Lots of final upgrades require challenges and those are pretty hard. Plenty of hidden stuff (look for grates and floor/ceiling panels BTW) hidden everywhere that can be found on the maps. As for the aesthetics: just astonishing. The environments are detailed and rendered perfectly. The lighting is awesome looking. The sound effects are crisp and varied. The voice over work is very good and well written.

    DOOM is a re-imagining of the genre-defining classic shooter which manages to stay true to its roots whilst brining in a healthy dose of modern enhancements.

    As with classic Doom, health, armor and ammo are pick-up based (no regeneration), there are only 10 weapons which are unlocked throughout the game (via exploration), there is no reloading, there are very few cutscenes and it's just fast-paced demon-slaying action all the way. Although on the surface it sounds like it's extremely repetitive, there are some excellent additions to keep the experience more entertaining. Firstly, as with all good classic shooters, there is a clear emphasis on exploration. You are rewarded for exploring the game's vast levels not just with meaningless collectibles and background reading, but with useful resources that will help you develop your demon-slaying capabilities. For example, each weapon can be customised with two weapon mods found from Field Drones, and each attachment can be upgraded using upgrade points, and even then there is a challenge for each mod to further enhance its capabilities. You can also upgrade the Doom Marine's suit and capabilities - again, this is almost exclusively from exploration. There are also Runes - mini challenges with a given set of conditions in an arena which, if completed, unlocks a "perk" (you can have three equipped at once) which can then be further enhanced by completing the challenges. Each level also has its own three challenges to complete. There are even sections of classic Doom maps to be found in each level! So to get the point across: there are some light RPG elements which are non-disruptive but also stay true to the spirit of the original. Furthermore, dying does not reset progress towards challenges, so it doesn't feel like a grind.

    The campaign is a fair length - especially if, like me, you try to explore every last nook and cranny of the levels. With an exploration-intensive playstyle, expect to spend around an hour minimum per level and there are 13 levels. It is best played on Ultra-Violence (the hardest starting difficulty available) since it feels challenging and intense as it should but becomes easier when you've got loads of upgrades later on in the game.

    In terms of performance, DOOM is extremely well-optimized on both Vulkan and OpenGL 4.5 graphics APIs. Even on a modest gaming rig (GTX 1060 6GB, i5-3470, 12GB RAM) the holy grail of 4K Ultra 60 FPS is achievable (though admittedly with around 75% resolution scaling) on OpenGL, and around 130 FPS at 1080p Nightmare settings.

    In terms of additional content, DOOM has a multiplayer component which is, as expected, an arena shooter with the usual game modes and extremely light customisation. Whilst this sounds great, it isn't especially balanced because of some consumable "perks" which put higher-level players at an advantage. The gameplay is also not satisfying in my opinion, and it just feels like a mess. I'm usually a fan of "tacked-on" multiplayers due to their simplicity, but Doom's doesn't do it for me; though perhaps more skilled players who enjoy games like Quake and Unreal Tournament might enjoy it.

    Perhaps the most novel feature of DOOM is SnapMaps; allowing you to create your own levels complete with their own objectives, enemeies, AI behaviour, pickups etc. The interface and tutorials for doing these are fairly good, but as with all "game creators", it is extremely time-consuming to do something simple. Still, it's a nice addition, though I haven't seen anything particularly stand out made by the community.

    Overall, DOOM 2016 is exactly the kind of game I hoped it would be. Everything from the weapons, gameplay, enemies, levels and even the option to have that classic centred weapon pose (as opposed to the ubiquitous right-handed pose of modern shooters) are reminiscent of the classic Doom games, and I'm pleased to say that Doom's spirit has aged beautifully. This is a shining example of how to modernise a classic game series without losing its essence.    … Expand

There is a story here, although I tended to forget about it most of the time because I was too busy jumping, strafing, and trying to stay alive. I seem to recall that the story in D3 had more impetus and that the combat was more diverse in style, but I could be remembering incorrectly (I’ll have to play it again to see). DOOM 2016 looks pretty good and it ran well (3 crashes in total, always alt-tab related). The music is fantastic and perfectly suited to the game. Personally, I find boss fights a little tedious and annoying but luckily there aren’t too many here, and those that there are didn’t irritate me, as they have, at times, in other games. Overall this is a good addition to the DOOM canon; it’s a blast from start to finish and is thoroughly enjoyable.    … Expand

Music score is a bit adolescent and could have done with some subtlety. Perfect collision detection. If you don't come expecting a cerebral, but rather a visceral, experience, you won't be disappointed.

She's not a gamer by any means, and she struggles with the movement/double-jump, but I can tell she likes the combat. The "glory kills" feel very similar to Shadow of Mordor, but are just as unique and fun. The campaign also offers challenges and rune trials to keep things interesting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. DOOM (2016) ... the only FPS to give meaning for single player.
    Let me sum my review to pros and cons and then (if you want , you can read my whole review for my reasons as to why the game is so GOOD !!)
    9/10

    pros
    -Great single player
    -Weapons are unique and and awesome
    -soundtrack is pure BADASS
    -Enemy variety !! something that's missing in alot in FPS shooters these days.
    -Fast pace combat that feels like Devil may Cry with guns rather than swords
    -custom maps by users is always great

    cons
    -multiplayer is not competitve
    -very unbalance to be honest
    -needs more boss battles

    DOOM delivers what game should be like ... fun and chellenging.
    It kinda feels like playing DMC4 with its fast pace combat.
    You always need to move , different weapons behave different and camping on enemy AI is discouraged by how the game was create for you.
    Get close and RIP AND TEAR UNTIL ITS DONE !!!
    dogde, shoot , jump , glory kill and move to the next objective.

    This leads me to the story. I'll be honest I didn't listen to the story narrative given by the robot guy , the evil woman and that demonic voice.
    The game gives you the option to simple speedrun throu the game if you just care about playing the game.
    How ? well , instead of being stuck in a cutsence or a walking section , you get listen to the narrative played in stations around the levels' map.
    This goes very well with the main character , Doom guy/slayer (You).
    So far , I heard that the story was great.

    Of course , I can't avoid the big plus that this FPS game has over TONS of FPS shooters which is enemy variety.
    Each enemy type fights different and you need to know who is the most threatning before you go and slay the others.
    This comes to play heavily in hard difficulties , so get a grip on your mouse and GIT GUD !

    Last is the multiplayer.... this wasn't heavily developed with thought.
    Its too chaotic.

    I was looking forward that Doom online might be like the old Halo 3/2 multiplayer.
    No class loadout (ONE default "loadout"), just weapon spawns. this could have made the online much better rather than coping the old COD formula.

    I can already tell you this , the ability to give players to transform to demons that instant kill you will enrage you more than being killed by BFG blast.

    luckily , replay value has its root in arcade more and custom maps made by users.
    I played alot in arcade more to get S ranking (Slayer not Stylish XD).
    Kinda of the reason why I think this game is DMC with guns rather than swords.

    so overall .... the first FPS game that is par with the Halo games (except 4 and 5).    … Expand

    From the opening of the game when Doom guy Smashes the com link before cocking his gun and entering the environment of mars till the end, was non stop fun for me. Typically I do not really like shooters and prefer games like Devil May Cry or soul series where the combat is more calculated. But doom truly outshines it's restrictions of being a game for the original fans of just constant shooting with it's Glory Killing Finishers, and that was a serious hook for my enjoyment. Story wise It is not really deep, but it does well setting up a fresh start after all this time.

    Highly recommended for people who just wanna get into the game from the off set as it is one of the games that u just log in hit continue and you are into the action, designed for fun. That being said Exploration is encouraged which is a positive in my book as well as challenging enough combat from normal to higher difficulties which is key since all you are doing is firing a gun and Oh Moving... keep Moving...

    Id Software knocked it out of the park. Honestly, I don't remember the last time I felt this good playing an FPS on PC. Butter-smooth framerates on aging hardware and no bugs or issues whatsoever. I cannot wait for DOOM Eternal.

    Doom 2016 becomes completely predictable because the (well-made) music is synchronized with the action. It's always the same, you always get a checkpoint when you're done, its cool the first few times but they use this mechanic over and over again the entire game.
    You enter an area, the intense music comes on, you defeat a wave of demons, the music crescendoes into some epic stuff, you defeat the big mega demons (quite easily with a few rockets, gauss rifle shots or one big BFG blast) , and then the music dies down and you roam the level freely, knowing that nothing's gonna jump out at you because the music isn't hinting at it.
    You get more than enough ammo and upgrades, more than you'll ever need. (caveat: I should have played the game on Nightmare, didn't wanna start over but Ultraviolence is WAY too easy)
    The original Doom just had monsters everywhere, they didn't come in predictable waves that you clear out. It was just an endless stream of monsters without the music conveniently telling you what's gonna happen next.

    There isn't a fight in DOOM that I didn't walk away from with a bit of disappointment. Not because there was anything bad about it, but because I eventually run out of demons to kill. I love how DOOM never holds the player back from utilizing the full might of the doom slayer. Every moment in the game makes me feel like a badass.

It's a perfect blend between Modern and old school combat. The story was nit their focus in this game but it's still pretty intriguing. The doom slayer might be my favourite new protagonist. He is a living example of 'actions speak louder than words' Instead of boring you with 500 hour dialogue and cutscenes,the game keeps them flashy and to the point.Technically,the game is amazing as well. The graphics are breathtaking when compared to the original doom and the game runs very smoothly on my PC,with a sweet fps lock of 120,never dropping even a frame. The snapmap is very accessible and easy to master and gives you a fair share of tools. The only thing keeping this game back from a 10 is the underwhelming multiplayer.

You won't find any "realism" (reloading, iron sights) nor any "modern" mechanics (artificial cover, regenerating health, press X to pay respects) here. There is also no meaningful story and no cliche cut-scenes every 5 steps.

The game is not easy, you just get this feeling while playing it and it's good.

    The gameplay is excellent and pros compensate cons of the game.
    The bad things are:
    - No GPS. Adding it would definitely make the game even better. Its absense quite often forces you to go here and there in a search of the right way. It's not hard to find, but simply wastes some of your time. It's a perfect shooter, so making this particular aspect of the game a bit more friendly to the player would have been nice of devs.
    - No manual saves. Saves/loads/checkpoints are also unfriendly to the player.
    - Some bugs still in 2017/2018. F.e., a critical one - finishing opponents sometimes makes you stuck in textures.
    - More than 50% of weapon and armor upgrades are inappreciable.
    It also would have been nice if there were more different weapons and bosses in the game. And of course single player compaign could have been longer than it is right now. No replayability when you finish the game on normal difficulty.

    But, as written above it's still a perfect pure FPS: perfect shooter gameplay, excellent soundtrack, nice graphics, optimisation and the story doesn't distract you from killing everything in sight, but also keeps you going on.    … Expand

To keep it simple, DOOM is everything a sci-fi shooter should strive to be without being too extreme while still offering a unique environment to explore and enough monsters to get your fix of action at the same time.

    DOOM plays very similarly to Serious Sam and offers a wide variety of weapons and customization similar to the Dead Space series for you to tailor your own experience. The game doesn't try to force you to do anything in particular and you're free to approach fights however you like, although it's recommended to take a more aggressive and active approach over a defensive one. Checkpoints in the game are sometimes a bit unforgiving, which means that if you die, you may be forced to redo an area all over again.

    In essence, DOOM is a game that is better described through actual gameplay than words. It's a bit easy on Normal, but I recommend that difficulty for controller users. You can always tweak the difficulty to your pleasing. The game is definitely more enjoyable with a keyboard and mouse though, and feels more engaging at a higher difficulty. The game is also quite lengthy, always keeping you wondering when you will reach the end.

    DOOM is a hidden gem that many will overlook thinking that it's dark or fearsome, even though it really isn't. I give it an 8 out of 10 for being a magnificently solid arena shooter. I haven't found any reason to rate it a 9 yet, as the game doesn't go the extra mile to deserve it. Regardless, I'm genuinely surprised that Bethesda put out a game as well-made as this, especially since they're not known for arena shooters.

    In terms of issues, the game did freeze a few times for me, which was a little annoying. I experienced two bugs near the end of the game where the game wouldn't progress and would force me to have to waste time redoing fights. The game also stuttered quite often, and the crosshair sensitivity would frequently drop, forcing me to have to drag my mouse to make wide turns.    … Expand

    The story is basically irrelevant - which is a good thing. There is some humor involved, though.

    Absolute mayhem, absolute perfection. I haven't enjoyed a shooter this much in almost 15 years.

    It'd be an 8/10, but the ridiculously amazing soundtrack bumps it up to 10/10. Part death metal blast beats, part old-school analog Industrial.

    Oh, wait, the multiplayer is terrible... 9/10 it is.

    DOOM on PC is a great FPS. It's a classical FPS in every sense. You're not hiding or trying to be tactical. This is run and gun perfection. Filled with gory and dark scenes, metal music to compliment the fast paced game play. This is a very fun FPS and well worth playing.

Now this is just some hardcore game, that does not explain anything (but some general info) regarding plot or character, you're handed a weapon, so the only thing you've gotta do is kill. Just another corridor shooter. Though it is fun, bloody, violent and metallic, for me this is a step back in Doom series evolution.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review may contain some spoilers. I will try to avoid anything to crucial.

    I'll start out by saying that DOOM is a fantastic reimagining of the original 93' and 94' mindless shooters that started the FPS genre, and I use the word mindless in a positive way. Doom has always been a game with relatively no plot line; it's killing for the sake of killing. The game focuses on its core mechanics of run-and-gun gameplay, never really letting up the action. Doom profits from this greatly. Whereas other modern day shooters try to focus on a lot of story segmented into the action - because lets face it, your happiest when you're shooting a gun on CoD or Battlefield - Doom tries to keep story at a distance, yet somehow manages to nail the perfect balance needed to keep you engaged.

    As soon as you begin, you're given a brief introduction of your goal by an ominous voice: "Rip and tear, until it is done!" and that's your objective for the rest of the game. Shoot anything in your path and move fast enough to avoid them doing the same to you. Within 20 seconds of the game starting, you're killing demons, and it continues like that from there. You will unlock new weapons, upgrade them to do a variety of different things (and by that I mean variety of ways to kill more demons), unlock perks to enhance your gameplay and make you tougher and faster as the game progresses. It's action at its purest form, and that is the helm that Doom has held for the past 25 years and shows that it is still deserving of that mantle.

    The story is simple enough to give what the other games didn't: reason. It explains why the demons have been unleashed on Mars, how it happened, why it all started, and even (this is perhaps the most fascinating part of the story) goes into details about Doom Marine's origins. This aspect is taken to a level that is somewhat absurd as it paints Doom Marine as an ancient being who has been fighting the demon hordes for over a millennia. Demons have scripture about him written into their home: Hell, and he is heavily feared amongst all of the evil he faces. This is not only an interesting plot point, but is a nice homage to the badass feeling the original 90's games evoked amongst their players. It solidifies Doom Marine as this ultimate beast, and many players who played all those years ago will recognise that amazing testament to his legacy. Overall, the story was enough to keep me intrigued about the game's events as I fought my way through Mars and Hell and was actually more than I was expecting. It's a nice addition to the game if nothing else.

    In terms of campaign, that's all there really is to say. It's very well done in every aspect and is the game's strongest part. The multiplayer however is awful. For me, it doesn't bring the game's score down too much (it would be a ten if there was no multiplayer) but it's a very downgraded, very annoying version of what you get in the campaign. Everything feels like it has been kind of slapped together. The maps are okay, though can be confusing, but the hitboxes on other players and the overall gameplay is extremely bad. You will die a lot due to reasons you can't explain, or just because it's a massive cluster of explosions and grenades and damage you can't avoid with skill. The game just falls into chaos and degrades the experience. Multiplayer does offer a huge range of cosmetics, such as changing your armour pieces, armour color, your taunts such as dance moves, etc. Unfortunately, you need to have fun in multiplayer to have fun with these trinkets, and in my experience, that is a rarity.

    The other third of the game is the map and game mode creator called Snap Map. This is actually a really cool feature with tons of gameplay hours you can sink into it. You can play community made maps and build your own. There are lots of options in building your own maps, some of it quite complex, though it is intuitive and easy to pick up. A few tutorials on Youtube should help you get set if you are a little overwhelmed.

    Overall, the game is brilliant. The campaign alone is worth a buy and it does justice to the DOOM name. I'd never played the originals until recently as I was only born a few years later, so I missed out on that rise of the FPS genre, but going back and playing them was awesome and really helps me appreciate the game series overall. I can say as a new player to Doom, this really sucked me into the series as a whole, and I'm sure if you're a fan of the original two, you will love this game! Just don't go looking for too much in the multiplayer as you may be disappointed.    … Expand

    DOOM 3 make something different back in 2004, instead of the action gameplay it took the survival horror roots with slow shooting and it focus more on the storytelling aspect than the overall gameplay, still it wasn't a bad game... i really like it a lot. But with this entry ID Software decidde to dive into the "nostalgia" trend and this is how we got DOOM 2016.
    The game has a story, but is not extremely detailed and the game does not put too much attention to it and well the story follows the premise of the original game, a portal that bring hell to a mars space station and the doom slayer most stop it. Even still with the little narrative the game has it manage to tell a full story.
    Enemy design was made to asimilate the original designs from the original game, of course some enemies were cut from the game.
    The level design is a mix of old and new, so it doesnt look outdated on it's design and this is were some games that tried to cash in on the "nostalgic" trend failed, but DOOM manage to make it look fresh.
    Visually it's amazing with cool ilumination, post processing effects that add depth and particle systems really makes it look like a beast of the game, and it still holds up even now in 2020 and it performs really well on GTX 1080Ti.
    Now the most important facor the gameplay... DOOM 2016 offers on it's levels hidden sectrets like rooms or easter eggs. The combat system is really good and fluent without the need of reloading your gun, the game encourage you to use every weapon in your arsenal to get a better experience and if your not switching weapons, well... your playing it wrong, the game adds a new feature the glory kills that add a new way to finish demons from their misery, this feature has it's advantage like... getting health from killing this demons, the chainsaw makes a return too if you want to cut enemies in two and it has its advantages llike getting ammo from enemies.
    overall DOOM 2016 is an excellent game and worth checking out if you havent play it yet, best option is the PC port, right now is pretty cheap on STEAM and it comes with all DLCs included, the MP portion wasn't exactly that popular when it launch and today it's pretty dead that's why all DLCs were given for free after a while.
    But anyway... GREAT GAME.    … Expand

    It was a long time since I felt like this again. If you have played classic FPS you know what I mean: the tension, the immersion, the pain in the hands and the relief once you are killed. They knew how to get back to the roots, a fast peace shooter like the first they created. This is not for fans of COD or Battlefield. It's for classic FPS players.

So it really took me by surprise that i enjoyed this game as much as i did

    Story: Although game play was clearly the main focus of the devs they didn't skimp out on the story . Doomguy is one of the most compelling silent protagonists ever , it was interesting to see just how doom guy interacts with the world too see him rage his way through the hordes of demons . the only thing he cares about is killing demons and it makes you want to know why he is so angry. the only other characters in this game are Sam hayden who seems to be an android , and Olivia, Olivia being the one that opens the portal to hell and let this whole mess loose. sam hayden being the one who gives you objectives that doom guy promptly ignores and just smashes everything.
    story and characters: 9/10

    world building: there is plenty of lore injected into doom. i really liked how the sam haydens company is mining hell for its resources and the way everything looks tells me he was fairly successful before the **** hit the fan . that's another thing i like about this game is its a lot of show and not a lot of tell often learning whats been going on through doom guys interactions and how things look . when you pick up the super shotgun(double barrel) it appears thats its previous user had committed suicide with it
    world building: 8/10

    graphics : this is one of the best looking games iv ever played , from the explosions to the guns to the animations to the environments everything looks beautiful and it helps that the game runs on constant 60 fps , and the style of hell and cyber punk mixed really well concept artists did a really good job.
    graphics: 9/10

    game play: i don't normally like classic style fps games like this But i had so much fun with this game it was a joy to play , its was the right mix of challenging and making me feel like a bad-ass . the game play is a big middle finger to the cinematic games like call of duty and battlefield . very few cut scenes mostly action. all guns feel satisfying and balanced and enemy types act differently learning the different behaviors and figuring out how to counter them is also intuitive game design.
    Gameplay: 9/10

    Sound design: Dooms sound design is the highlight of this game , every song ramps it up and is some of the most intense music iv ever heard , this game dose something cleaver by heaving the music react to what you are doing , so every glory kill you get the music gets more intense . but it doesn't do this by just tacking on more sound it actually use clever transitions and editing making this the most enjoyable and metal game ever
    sound design 10/10
