    To be honest i feared this game a lot. Beta was not good so i was worried (even that doom was never multiplayer game in a first place). The final game is great. Not the multiplayer but the single player is really doomish (not halo as i feared).

    It is like old 90 's DOOM, fast paced action, with modern coat like perks, challenges and stunning fast graphics. Mars, UAC and Hell are detailed and beautiful.

    Boy was I wrong! ID have comeback not only to show that they can still make good FPS games, but they are the masters!
    Brutal, frantic and immensely satisfying!
    Graphically, it looks great. On my GTX 1060, it runs at over 100+FPS at 1080p maxed out.
    Forget the washed out textures of Rage and Wolfenstein. Doom looks sharp!

    The sound is perfect for the game with guitars and electro sounds blasting out while your guns blaze away.
    Gun sounds could use a bit more punch, but they serve their purpose.

    Seriously, do yourself a favour and check it out!    … Expand

    Quite possibly the best Arcade FPS I have ever played. Very well optimised.

    I am running 2560x1440 with SLI GTX 970, running Ultra, with everything maxed a=out and getting a good 60-70 fps - anti-aliasing on max as well! i52500k, not clocked.

    The gameplay reminds me more of Quake.

    I loved Quake!

    Multiplayer is hectic :)

    Imagine if someone decided to translate the original Doom and Doom 2 style of game directly into the modern day. That is what you're getting with Doom 2016, for good and for ill.

That is what you're getting with Doom 2016, for good and for ill. I personally found the game very enjoyable, but it should be added that I was really wanting a fast-paced shooter that was single player and the newest game I had that was scratching that itch was Serious Sam (preceded by Painkiller). I sat down with this game and asked it to keep my pulse up and send me on a gory, exhilarating ride as I mowed down the legions of Hell. And it delivered exactly what I asked of it.

    This game is a very literal translation of the earliest shooters, your Doom's, your Wolfenstein's, your Duke Nukem's. On the good side, you have the fast-paced, frantic gameplay that the old ones had, and it came up with a few ways to keep the flow going as much as possible. The weapons are viscerally fun as ever and, aside from the starting pistol, none of them are ever really useless. There is a surprisingly elaborate upgrade system added that (amongst other things) helps keep earlier weapons competitive with their late-game cousins and you're free to settle into a gameplay style that suits you. The enemies are varied (though the majority of them are familiar to those who have played any Doom games) and the game moves at a decent difficulty curve. Now, on the bad side, I can say that some weapons wind up being a little vestigial depending on your play style; the double-barrel shotgun in particular was almost unused during my playthrough. Additionally, the map design is... well it's not *bad* and you can tell where you're going, but it carries that maze-like quality that the old 2.5D shooters had, so if you don't like that you won't care much for that. Though there's a very nice degree of verticality to it. As for the gore... well it's what you'd expect--simple gratuitous violence that makes your inner thirteen year old giddy if you're into that sort of thing. Again, if you don't like gore, then don't buy this game.

    Now, you may have noticed that I didn't mention the story. Well... here's the thing. For the game you have, the story is exactly what it needs to be. Set-up: you wake up chained to a sarcophagus in the midst of an invasion of Hell on Mars inside a UAC facility and it's up to you to do the cleanup job. Obviously there's a bit more to it, but it's not exactly an operatic plot... but it does what it needs to do. The thing I do like is that the few characters there are have a neat amount of characterization, there's a lot of background storytelling (particularly involving the sort of place the facility you're in and what it was like prior to getting invaded), and the Doom Marine himself has a bit of characterization. Now, when I say that, he's still a silent protagonist, but you can read a bit into his actions, little things like the way he hesitates at certain points in the plot, the sheer brutality he shows towards the demons, and the way he interacts with certain objects. The story is shallow, but it's as deep as it needs to be. It keeps the story afloat and it's enough to make you comfortable in the game world, and it succeeds at what it sets out to do.

    Basically, if you want a successor to the old Doom games, you have it. If that is what you wanted, then consider this a MASSIVE recommendation, 10/10, gold star, A+. It was what I wanted, and while I'm normally an RPG guy, I still found this a fun escape from all of that. Alternatively, if you are uncertain on whether you're interested in this kind of game, I'd recommend trying Painkiller or Serious Sam 3 first to do an interest check (and potentially save money). This is a game that knows what it wants to be and hits that point with full marks. It is a game that I know not everyone would care for, but I personally loved it.    … Expand

    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.

There are secrets, just like in the original, and I never thought I would enjoy collecting such stupid little figures before. There are little doom dolls, kind of like Funko POPs on each level, and when you find it, a little clip of the old dooms music plays. Puts a smile on my face everytime.

    There are also hidden parts of the original levels of doom in each level. You have to find a hidden lever, switch it and a wall or unique looking door will open. Its really is well thought out. they seem to progress down the original lvls as you progress down the levels in this doom.

    Im not positive, but I believe this is how you unlock the old doom levels. I had the option to play the hanger level after I found one. Was quiet a bit of fun. remembering old secrets and completing it.

    I've only played about 3 hours of the 13 hour campaign but it has been very entertaining. One big grip I have is there seems to be no way to fast switch between weapons on the same key. for example the pistol and chainsaw are both set to the 1 key. You hit it once, and you get the pistol, hit it again and you get the chainsaw. I thought you could maybe just double tap the key to get the second weapon, but you have to hit one, wait for it to cycle to the pistol then hit one again to cycle to the chainsaw, for a fast paced shoot em up this seems wrong. Maybe I am just missing a quick key. the plasma rifle and the chaingun are also both on the 4 key.

    I have yet to try the multiplayer, but its probably not going to be my thing. I really just wanted the nostalgia of a good doom. The multiplayer looks to be more like Quake Arena.    … Expand

The campaign was also a pleasant surprise in that it took me about 12 hours to complete (this is very long for a modern FPS single player). The 9 rather than a 10 is for the...lacklustre multiplayer, just didn't feel great and the same care and love that was clearly lavished on the main game didn't feel quite there. There's also dozens if not hundred of nods in there to classic PC games - doom, quake and others. Oh, nearly forgot, the boss fights are the right mix of challenging and interesting with just a little bit of 'you died, learn the fight!' in there to make it not a cakewalk. Interesting take on the original Doom story too. Really this is two separate games: 8/10 on multiplayer for daring to be different to the CoD/BF bland model and being more fast paced, 10/10 for the single player, excellent and no regrets whatsoever. I hope they release some significant SP DLC packs (or better yet, sequels).… Expand

    For what it tries to be, it is that perfectly. Very long single player campaign with fantastic art design. A lot of polish went into this. Controls responsive, Weapons feel very satisfying. 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.

    Quick hint: This game isn't about beating it quickly. Get into the single-player campaign and pick Ultra-Violence as your difficulty level, which isn't impossible, but will test your knowledge of how the game works, which is where this whole thing shines.

    If you're into intricate stories and cinematics, this isn't your game. If you're into fast and furious gameplay, tight controls, exploration, and possibly industrial rock, this is DEFINITELY for you! No scopes, no chest-high walls, no cover-based mechanics - you run, you shoot, sometimes you jump, and even though that sounds simple, the Devil's in the details - literally. Enemy variations keep combat entertaining throughout the game, and the way new enemies are introduced - sometimes by surprise, sometimes as "bosses" of sorts until you realize there's three of them in one place - is just perfectly-paced.

    All the new bells and whistles on top of what made the original DOOM games so good are nice, too - the lore stuff is really interesting, albeit tongue-in-cheek at all times, the weapon upgrades are nice because they're only for your alt-fire (therefore guns aren't underpowered when you first find them), the trials to get runes (a few stages in) often have an outside-the-box design to them, and the voice acting surprisingly doesn't get in the way - often because Doomguy kicks something and the game moves on, which is a nice touch.

    I'd definitely recommend Doom for its single-player alone. Try SnapMap, it's interesting, and maybe don't even get into multiplayer, but it's worth the price for the campaign alone.    … Expand

    An utterly brilliant homage to the old school FPS. This is quintessential Doom, updated for the modern times without forgetting what it is and where it came from. Kinetic, visceral, and impactful, DOOM delivers a delightful punch to the teeth to remind audiences what a shooter is supposed to be.

    In DOOM, game-play comes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. And by game-play I mean gun-play and by gun-play    An utterly brilliant homage to the old school FPS. This is quintessential Doom, updated for the modern times without forgetting what it is and where it came from. Kinetic, visceral, and impactful, DOOM delivers a delightful punch to the teeth to remind audiences what a shooter is supposed to be.

    In DOOM, game-play comes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. And by game-play I mean gun-play and by gun-play I mean HOLY HELL these are some fantastic weapons! Shooting is fast-paced and fun. Strafing, circling, closing in for for a melee kill, I found myself constantly staying on the move to avoid enemy fire and the game rewarding me for a clever and aggressive play-style. Nearly all weapons have two different upgrade paths that you can switch up on the fly and not a single one isn't satisfying to use. Ammo is plentiful but not plentiful enough that you won't be swapping out your weapons regularly, and the increasing variety of enemies that require different approaches and tactics means you can't get comfortable with just one or two guns to see you through the day. The games signature "glory kills" are fast and satisfying, requiring you to "stun" your enemies with well placed gun fire first before closing in to finish them off. Each glory kill you pull off rewards you with extra health, a great little risk/reward mechanic that keeps the pace of the fight up and never sees you retreating from an enemy in search of more health. The chainsaw and BFG are perfectly implemented as well, incredibly over-powered one-hit-kill weapons with very limited ammo meaning you'll need to carefully consider when to break them out but always incredibly rewarding when you do.

    Each level in DOOM is expansive and labyrinthine, as any good DOOM level worth it's salt should be. This ain't no corridor shooter, and you are encouraged to explore each environment thoroughly to discover all of the hidden secrets and unlockables this game has to offer. Traversing the environments is fast and fluid. You move at a satisfying clip and incorporate a clamber and, later, a double jump to navigate the large, vertical spaces.

    A point against DOOM could be it's rather weak and generic story. If you're looking for a world deep with lore then you might be satisfied by what is on offer through the collectible journal entries that flesh out the UAC and their Mars research facility, but the pretty intriguing idea of a corporation-turned-cult is barely explored. Arguably, focusing more on the story might have taken away from the game-play, which is DOOM's obvious first priority, but I did sometimes find myself wishing I had a bit more motivation than DEMONS: KILL.

    Another definite negative is DOOM's multiplayer offering, which feels very tacked on and is entirely forgettable. All of the kinetic energy and adrenaline found in the single player game is absent here. This is where the description "mindless shooter" fits perfectly, where not even a respectable variety of game modes can keep it from feeling wholly shallow and lifeless. DOOM's multiplayer is a temporary distraction to be played once and then never picked up again.

    But, despite these faults, in the end the game is just too much fun and I have so much praise for what it does do that it is hard to fault it for what it doesn't. DOOM is an incredibly refreshing return to form and has re-energized my enthusiasm for genre that has been, in my opinion, languishing for years, bereft of any originality and becoming stale and stagnant in the process. DOOM remembers that FPS's don't need to be a dreary slog nor do they need to take themselves seriously or rely on scripted set pieces to be incredible experiences. DOOM is a must buy for any shooter fan.    … 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.

I personally have been waiting for around 3 years, but I know many people who have been waiting a lot longer than I have. DOOM is an excellent FPS, however, it is not perfect. For example, I got a crash within 3 hours of playing, which was annoying. Also, this game is **** CONFUSING. About half of the time playing, I have no idea where to go or what the hell I am supposed to do. In this one part, you have to use a hand you found for an ID scanner, which opens a door blocked by fire to fight one of those things you rip the heart out of. However, I swear I never saw the ID scanner when I tried finding it. After quitting the game and going back to the same area, THEN I see it. I wonder if this is a glitch because I spent nearly 30 minutes trying to find the damn thing. However, those are my only complaints. The gameplay is extremely fun, where you shoot a demon a bit and then crush, smash, or rip off his head. It feels so satisfying, as well as extremely gory. I have not touched multiplayer, but from what I played from the beta, it seems like it will be something that most may ignore or may only try for a few minutes. I have no idea what snapmap is, so my review is basically single player. I am not trying to be funny when I say within 20 seconds of starting the game, you are given a gun and are fighting demons. This game is extremely fast paced, except in for some moments. Also, DO NOT bother with walkthroughs. Remember about the ID from earlier, I never found that part. I feel like it would ruin the fun as well, so do not bother. In fact, DO NOT watch and gameplay videos, instead, buy the game. Trust me when I say it is worth it.… Expand

    a game that keeps getting better the longer you play it
    doom is a first person shooter where you slay demons...
    And you can do this in a variety of ways
    as you progress through the game you’ll unlock new weapons…
    and to upgrade these weapons you have to earn upgrade points by completing in level challenges, and finding collectibles..
    Once you’ve unlocked all of the mods for a weapon, to get its mastery you have to complete another challenge…
    This system really had me searching for opportunities as well as forced me to use every weapon at my disposal.
    There are also rune challenges in these levels that unlock a rune that give you a special perk, which can also be upgraded by completing that runes individual challenge…
    Doom for the most part starts fairly average..
    I wasn’t impressed with the first few hours of the game at all…
    But thankfully as I progressed further and started to unlock new mods and skills and the levels actually started to stand out from the crowd I started to really enjoy my time...
    I was legitimately surprised at every twist and turn this game took me in…
    Dooms combat can be pretty gruesome at time especially thanks to the glory kills…
    but most enemies feel way too spongy for any of this to every feel truly satisfying and the novelty of the glory kill quickly wore off.
    But for the most part you’re in a way solving a puzzle, pulling switches and killing waves of demons on your way…
    I did get an opportunity to play on the games highest difficulty, and unfortunately playing a level on this difficulty is required for a trophy
    and I say unfortunately because it’s not fun…
    it really highlights the cheapness certain enemies have..
    You’ll die in this mode with 1 hit easily…
    Which isn’t too big of a deal if certain enemies weren’t so cheap with their attacks... mainly the demons that throw fire balls… they have extreme accuracy and can climb walls…
    you literally wont see your death coming..
    And if you die here you start the level all the way from the start.
    It’s just not worth it…
    There is a multiplayer mode here too
    6 different match types that you would recognize from most other first person shooters like team death math or domination with their own doom twist for example instead of kill confirmed you harvest souls instead of collect dog tags
    You unlock weapons abilities and demons as you level which can honestly throw the balance of a game out the windows as the higher level players who are already at the time in advantage also have the stronger loadouts and demon spawn ins…
    luckily the demons don’t feel all too over powered.. But they are definitely fun to play as and worth the effort to try and grab the demon spawn stone before someone else does...
    The doom multiplayer is super addictive and rivals the likes of killzone 2 as one of my most favorite multiplayer modes in a game…I can easily see players sticking around until the next doom comes out
    there’s also a super deep snap map mode here that lets you create scenarios, edit ai, sound lighting, spawn points and connect different logic chains for a nearly endless amount of scenarios
    If you don’t feel like creating, you van also hop into other peoples published maps.
    Doom is a great game
    There’s something here for everyone...
    a 12 hour single player campaign, a varied and addictive multiplayer, and a snap map mode to get your Picasso on.

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.

This game has always been about mindless killing. What little story there is, is not bad. This game is fast paced run and gun DO NOT sit still. This isn't Call of Duty, Battlefield, Destiny etc. This is a run-n-gun or die trying game.

    Doom 1 & 2 games were pretty straight forward. Walk into a room full of Hell and kill it all. There were some puzzle aspects to it.
    Doom 32x was basically the same
    Doom 64 took that same approach and tried to add a linear story to it.
    Doom 3 turned to a darker story with a linear story which most were not a fan of but i thoroughly enjoyed.
    Doom 2016 is a basically a buffet of all of those things. There is the linear story and you will walk into an area where all hell breaks loose and you must survive to move on to the next area.

    If you're looking for a gorgeous fast-paced shooter that doesn't require thought process to comprehend whats going on but want a challenge staying alive this game is for you. Its a nice change of pace from "camping".    … Expand

    The story is not bad so far, admittedly I'm a only a couple hours in, but I consider the plot as a bonus as I didn't think think the reboot would bother with much of narrative. Also, I love the sound effects, a nice tight/dry sound which was a good audio aesthetic choice.

    It maybe should be a solid 8, but I'm giving it an extra point out of relief from the bad feeling I had after the multiplayer beta.

    Only one largish criticism is it doesn't feel very scary - I thought the original Doom/Doom II had genuinely eerie atmospheres (but I was 14 when Doom II was released, it was a simpler time in 1994), and also Doom 3 was pretty scary. This new Doom doesn't really have that (not yet anyway).

    The negative reviews are funny - "you just go around punching demons". Yep, and it feels facking great.    … Expand

    This game was off my radar for the longest time having not played any of the previous Doom’s, but after seeing all the praise it got I decided to give it a shot. It’s safe to say that it was a great decision; Doom is easily one of the best games out this year. Here is my spoiler-free review
    My rig:

It’s safe to say that it was a great decision; Doom is easily one of the best games out this year. Here is my spoiler-free review
    My rig:
    Intel Core i7- 3770K 3.5 GHz
    8 GB’s of ram
    EVGA GTX 970 factory overclocked

    Story: There is a portal open from hell which allows demons to pass through to the human world on Mars. You –Being the doom slayer– are tasked closing the portal and eradicating any demons that stand in your way. I’m not going to go any deeper to avoid any spoilers; but there minor plot twists in the story that make it over all serviceable. It’s not the best story but it is good enough. But then again who plays Doom for the story?

    Graphics: The graphics in the game are amazing; everything from the reflection to the light FX is simply stunning. The textures are very fleshed out and top notch, there are no jagged edges and the blood effects look nice.
    There are plenty of graphical setting to tinker with for you to get the best mixture of beauty and performance; overall the game is a joy to look at. Not only that, it’s not very demanding. I was able to get over 100FPS on my rig with no drops whatsoever. id software did a wonderful job with the optimization.

    Sound: WOW. The audio in this game is nothing short of jaw dropping. Mick Gordon – Who also composed the soundtrack for Wolfenstein – never fails to impress. Even though I don’t listen to heavy metal music (or any type of metal/rock) I couldn’t stop myself from head-banging while in the midst of the action. It’s just spectacular.
    The sound FX are splendid as well, be it the sound of the weapons (especially the heavy assault rifle and the chainsaw), the sound of the enemy demons or the surround sound system; they are all top notch.

    Gameplay: Blood. Gore. Adrenaline rush. Insane fun
    That sums this game up to a tee. Running around a small arena ripping through demons in the goriest ways possible never gets old. I love how the game puts emphasis on having to juggle through your weapons to find the one that best suits the current situation; you’ll have to use 3-4 different weapons in each combat scenario to make it through (on the higher difficulties, at least).
    The glory kill in the game – which are ways to execute enemies after dealing enough damage to them and staggering them – are as good as advertised, especially when facing a bigger demon, it bring ‘The bigger they are, the harder they fall’ into life.
    There are also power-ups that you can use and they are a ton of fun, especially the Berserk which temporarily strips you of your gun, but turns your fists to one hit kill hammers of justice.
    The weapons/Praetor Suit upgrade system is simple yet robust. All the suit upgrades were helpful and only a few weapon mods felt unnecessary. There are two ways to get upgrade points for your gear: one is to kill as many demons as possible, and the second is to find secrets that are scattered all across the map, making map exploration a must if you want to get all the upgrades; which will help you enjoy the game even more and will be necessary on the higher difficulties.

    Minor negatives: I did encounter some crashes while playing this game, approximately 10 throughout my entire play through, but the frequent checkpoints in the game saved me any headaches. Other than that it was a smooth experience.

    Verdict: This game is a must buy for any shooter fan be it classic or modern. With a lengthy campaign, multiplayer and snap map mode; it’s well worth the $60 price tag
    TL;DR if you are a shooter fan buy this game, you won’t regret it.    … Expand

    Doom is a very fun, fast paced shooter. I've been so used to the shooters of this generation being slow, ducking behind cover to avoid getting hit by hitscan bullets. Not in Doom.

    You don't reload, you don't take cover, and you move very fast. Combat is fun and skillful, as you can dodge projectiles and demons while keeping your gun on target.

    You don't reload, you don't take cover, and you move very fast. Combat is fun and skillful, as you can dodge projectiles and demons while keeping your gun on target. There are many different demons types, and some guns work better against other demons. This adds a different layer of variety, forcing the player to switch up the play-style to take down enemies.

    The progression system in campaign is fun. It adds new utilities to guns which can be applied to numerous situations, player abilities which can be unlocked in whichever order the player chooses. You can also increase health, armor, or ammo by finding Argent Energy capsules, provided you actually find them. That brings me to secrets. The campaign map design is awesome, and there are multiple secrets on the levels. This adds a layer of exploration not seen in most linear shooters today.

    There are five different difficulties to choose from in campaign. Those who say that the game is too easy have obviously not tried the game on Nightmare or Ultra-Nightmare. These are the hardest difficulties, with Ultra-Nightmare sending you back to the beginning if you die ONCE. There's rarely a dull moment, especially when playing on Nightmare. Constant action with minuscule breaks in between.

    Multiplayer is fun. I was hoping for an arena style shooter like Quake or UT, but instead we have loadouts. The game is balanced for the most part, with no gun being terribly overpowered. There is a TON of customization. You can customize your guns with colors and patterns, adjust scratch marks and dirt on armor and guns, and there are a lot of armor pieces to choose from. Gameplay wise, the multiplayer is different from shooters today in the sense of how it plays. It does not play like Halo, Gears of War, or Call of Duty. It feels more like Quake or UT.

    TL;DR - Campaign is awesome 10/10 but multiplayer is about a 7/10. Buy this game!    … Expand

Doom begins to shine when you get to the parts of gratuitous violence; chainsaw hacking, shotgun blasting, rocket launcher exploding, tusk ripping and throat slitting, Leg snatching, arm slapping, and BFG wielding fun. The Horde mode mentality coupled with the intense atmospheric music never ceases to inspire a feeling of panic intense combat. Small to large-scale variety of enemies forces you to think tactically about the weaknesses of those enemies and makes you adjust with less than a second's notice about the next maneuver you should execute. The protagonist himself is portrayed as an over-the-top badass, who is dead-set on chaos. Weapon variety is huge and Bethesda pulled no punches when it came to additional features such as weapon and suit customization. Now comes the question should you buy it?

    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.

    This game is freaking awesome. One of the best graphics, sound and level design I have seen from a straight up shooter this year. All you need is to shoot demons and the shooting is damn satisfying. No need for cut-scenes, just shoot stuff PERIOD. Best shooter.

    Theme wise this is more mature, obviously, because it does stay true to the Doom Space Marine with demonic technology science fiction painted all over it.

    I really don't think it has much in common with the over produced CoD and Battlefield games. Here's a list of some of the parallels I see with Metroid Prime 3.. there are actually more.. I just don't wanna sit here thinking of them all.

    Unlimited ammo(for the most part just use your chainsaw when needed)
    Weapon & Armor Upgrades hidden within the progress of the game's levels.
    Right click charge style shots.
    Science Fiction Planet Base gone horribly wrong environment.
    Arena style battles guarding key spots during events in the game.
    It even has codex lore hidden within the levels as well... which tells the horrible history the environment went through.

    Runs perfect 90+ FPS at near all times on a ..5820k ..16GB ..GTX970 ..1080p/144hz which is seriously around the sweet spot in PC gaming specs right now.

    It does have collision detection problems ever so often where you get stuck or caught on environmental objects when trying to fly around the levels ever so often. Probably more of a feature of single player than anything, because of the detail they added to the levels.

    I'll be playing Overwatch Multilayer more than this, but this game's single player seriously has a double play through potential! Especially since this game has really good tweaked difficulty.

    The only things that appear somewhat lackluster are music and boss fight. There doesn't seem to be a soundtrack as impressive as in the old doom. The boss fight is not quite necessary. Cyberdemon and mastermind should have been mingled with other monsters. I really want to see (1) cyberdemon ruthlessly **** on a horde of barons of hell or fatso mancubuses and (2) cyberdemon vs mastermind. Besides, cyberdemon is the incarnation of all evils in doom and he should have been the final boss.    … Expand

After years of the same **** military shooters with all the console cancers of regenerating health, weapon wheels, slow gameplay, set loadouts and overall similar guns (of wich you can only carry 2 usually), along comes this game and gives them all the middlefinger.
    F*ck reality, let's empower the player and let them carry everything to engage the enemies in whatever way they want. No regenerating health here, every hit counts and you can't hide like a c*nt behind a corner and get full life.
    The gameplay speed is much faster (although not as fast as Quake 3 unfortunately) than most shooters out the last few years. If you are looking for a revolution, you will not find it here. The only new things this game brings are executions and double jump wich are things already seen in other games. But it does bring fantastic gunplay and action wich let you feel like a badass and keep on going until either you or everything else is dead, without hiding and popping out to take a shot, yet not feel easy or like a cakewalk at the same time.
    As for performance, it held solid 60-65 for me at maxed ultra 1080p on my i7 4770K and 3yo Titan Black. And it looks fantastic. I might even add that this game is probably the best looking "60fps/1080p" title on console aswell. The game is also tailored for the respective platforms. For instance the weapon wheel and other console bullcrap is not present in the pc version, the options menu is fully featured except for mousesmoothing wich you have to turn of with steam launch options, and the game comes prepared for mods. I can't wait what the pc modding community brings to this game.
    My major grievance with this game is the multiplayer. I was expecting something more like Quake 3 but they seem to try and mix typical console shooter mp gameplay with the old school pc shooters and I find it not bad but... bland and wuickly becomes boring. I also suspect console gamers will find this game to fast to be fun for them playing with a controller. The devs tried to please everybody but failed. That might still be fixed with mods if we are lucky. Still with a (for a shooter) lengthy campaign and replayability... overall, imo well worth my money.    … Expand

The core mechanics—fast-paced combat, an array of kickass weapons, and exploration puzzles—are all reminiscent of their predecessor. There are also a ton of new elements that improve the experience. Each level now shows you which collectibles you still need, which turns hunting them down into a fun side quest instead of a chore. The 3D map is one of the simplest to use that I've ever seen, and the upgrade system focuses on customizing play style, rather than forcing a grind just to keep up with increasingly higher-level baddies. Glory Kills are not only a visual flourish, but it can actually aid your survival, dropping crucial items from enemies when you need it. Best of all, the fan favorite weapons like the chainsaw and the BFG-9000 (oh, yes) are given priority status with special ammo reserves and bonuses associated with using them.The incentive to use these weapons, and to use them strategically, has dramatically improved.

    For those who haven't played the original, it might be a little harder to fall in love, but not impossibly so. While the game excels at combat, the story lacks compared to what we've come to expect from most shooters. Fortunately, the story stays out of your way almost entirely, except for the occasional unskippable scripted in-game scene. In fact, your character often seems as impatient as you are to get back to the combat, regularly ignoring the other characters or choosing violent solutions instead of politely following orders.

    The selection of guns may also feel lackluster to veterans of the modern shooter genre. While this game builds on the core set of Doom weapons, the shooter world at large is used to this same selection (perhaps partly due to Doom's influence) already, and them some. Compared to something like Bioshock or Warframe where you have an array of weapons with superpowers on top of it, Doom feels fairly standard. There's also very little in terms of in-world objects like turrets, vehicles, or any of the other extras that newer games have trained us to expect. You can occasionally find powerups, which are always fun—particularly when Berserk lets you rip open large enemies with your bare hands—but that's about it.

    In some areas, Doom deviates from the modern mainstream in a good way. Many shooters try so hard to make their level design feel natural that they lose an element of adventure. Doom does no such thing. In one particularly incredible level, you have to scale the world's most impractical and pointless tower. Platforms move and rotate with little rhyme or reason that would make sense in reality, but as a level, it's one of the most fun (and occasionally terrifying) areas. Once again, Doom focuses less on being realistic or fitting in with the rest of the genre and more on making a fun world to blow stuff up in.

    I mention none of these differences as deficiencies, but rather for context. Doom focus on two things—combat and exploration—and does them both exceedingly well. There's something to be said about a game that doesn't try to be too many things or cram in a bunch of needless crap just to "Me too!" the rest of the gaming industry. If you're looking for another Halo or Destiny, you're not going to find it here. Instead, Doom is a loving tribute to a simpler time where you didn't need an elaborate story or feigned "realism" to enjoy shooting bad guys.    … Expand

    The new Doom is a fantastic tribute to old school fast-paced FPS Arena Shooters (Doom/Quake/Unreal Tournament) and it does it in the best way possible.

    Game Play: This game was polished for its melee kills, gore-tastic, blood splattering, big gun, explosion laden action in every new room. Hands down the most fun FPS Campaign I've played in a long time because it's old school reinvented. This game is a sub-category (the original in fact) of FPS, as a fast paced Arena Shooter and cannot be compared to Narrative-Driven FPS games such as Battlefield, Call of Duty. It has the fastest game play since original 1990s Dooms.

    Story: Who gives a **** it's Doom. You're a space marine on mars killing demons from hell-nuff said. That's the story, get over it. If you want a narrative-FPS, then play one of the 7 sequels to Call of Duty, because that's not beating a dead horse. Everyone knows the story and it just assumes you do, so it throws you in the middle of it and you kill your way through it while learning what happened... but it's not meant to be insightful because the whole 'space marine' trope is already 37 years old, created by the original Alien film. It doesn't need to be reinvented, just appreciated and the game does by doing what it does best, not focus on it.

    Sound: Great ambient sound, and detailed SFX mixed well with Wwise. Music sound track is another great tribute to the original Doom and Quake games with a metal-heavy Nine Inch Nails inspired motif. It swells and adapts seamlessly to how bloody your screen gets and how many demon gibs are flying around the corridors while you blast your way through.

    Graphics: Running it at a capped 60 FPS on Ultra settings with my a GTX 980 ti and ROG G-Sync monitor. I couldn't be happier. Don't give into the GTX 1080 hype, it runs super fast with current Maxwell Nvidia cards.

    Multiplayer: Huge improvement to Doom 3... it's added players turning into demons, and a new SnapMap mode in which you can create your own maps that is great to build a future community of modders and new way to play. Will have a lot of fun to see how it develops.

    Conclusion: So far this has been a delightful surprise to an old-school FPS guy like myself. For those of you who grew up with the Battlefield and CoD FPS as the only ones you know. You will find it 'outdated' but it's simply a different genre and cannot be compared. It's much faster paced and more akin to Overwatch and Unreal Tournament. I couldn't be happier with Doom being carefully redone for a new generation while still retaining what made the original FPS genre great. Lightning quick gore-ridden game play and extreme fun.    … Expand

The variety of game modes also keep the game from getting stale. The campaign is also great. The story is there if you want it, but it is pushed off to the side. While this is a negative for some, it really puts the focus on the game play, which is great. Each new area is inspired and all of the weapons have their own unique purpose. I never found myself sticking to one the whole time. The reason I am not giving this game a perfect 10 is that I had some problems running it at first. I don't know if it was my drivers, which I reverted from the newest version in an attempt to fix it, or if it was just a day 1 issue, but the game crashed quite often while I was playing it, especially during the campaign, although that issue seems to be resolved now. Another strange thing is that to switch between multiplayer, campaign, and snapmap, you have to restart the entire game, as if it is actually 3 separate games. Other than that slight annoyance, I really have no problem with this game. If you are looking for a high action, intense FPS, Doom is the game for you.… Expand

    Doom is a very fine shooter. It's game-play is in some places a hark to the past, but freshened up. There is no cover mechanics and no reload. It's twitch, select weapon move, shoot and select finishers (to keep up health and ammo). The whole things is lazed with not-so-subtle aggression and stomping pissed of music, so you end up as a furious one-man demon genocide. There's a story, but you can show it the middle-finger if you want.

    I suspect for Doom-fans this game is near perfect, and for me it is certainly an excellent leap away from silly cover-based action and the slowness of the typical modern shooter.

    You also get fairly big maps and key cards. Yep, this is no corridor shooter like the (otherwise) excellent Shadow Warrior remake. This is big hurrah to the old days, when you had to do a little thinking between the bouts.

    If you played through the older games in the Doom series and loved it, then you definitely have to play through this one as well. My expectations were low, but the developers stayed true to the core features of the game while delivering an amazing graphics engine. Well done to ID software and Bethesda!

The multi-player is forgettable but fun enough as a distraction. Multi-player has never been the focus of DOOM for me, though. I have not used much of Snapmap, yet. But the depth and power of this tool should offer great replay value for this game in the future.
    This will focus on my likes and dislikes of the single-player (as I can't speak for Snapmap and MP is just "meh"):
    Pros:
    -Solid, fast-paced gameplay; an obvious throwback to the frenetic action of DOOM 1&2; It is a twitch-based shooter
    -Some of the best animation I have seen for enemy NPCs in gaming. Every character moves distinctly different and animation ques can be seen, learnt and offer warnings of incoming attacks.
    -Perfect soundtrack to set the atmosphere of the game
    -The in-game HUD is incredibly customizable.
    -The Advanced Graphics options ensures that this game will run on any gaming machine built in the last 3-4 years (and still looks decent on Low Settings).
    -Good (mostly) level design: Large open areas, narrow corridors, hellish mazes, and secret areas galore!
    -Weapons feel good to fire, and are upgrade-able, if you choose; or leave the weapons the way they are for a real challenge in later levels.
    -Fun, classic gameplay-loop: Enter a room, kill everything mercilessly, collect pickups, search for secrets, repeat step one.

    Cons:
    - Level design: Although I like most things about the levels, it falls short in one area: Levels are not distinct from one-another. Especially the Mars Base levels, it is hard to tell them apart. Comparing this to DOOM 1&2, you would know what level you are on after opening the first door (if not sooner), I don't feel that in this game.
    -The campaign could have been longer, but I guess they have to have something for DLC...

    Minor complaints that do not detract much from gameplay, aside: If you like old-school DOOM or if you are just sick of sub-par military shooters holding your hand through corridor, after corridor, after boring canned set-pieces, then pick up DOOM NOW!    … Expand

    Best FPS shooter i've played in a while, Reminds me of the original kinda feels like what they wanted doom to be in the begging. Multi player i only played in beta and didn't really like, but the single player TOTALLY Worth the price. If you love doom or want a good FPS or Hectic Battle Music, this game was made for you. Tong in cheek silly fun kill kill kill.

    Snapmap is excellent, you will put hours and hours into it because is fun just to solve the logic problems, but it have some stupid limits that you have to know before hand, or you will knock yourself into a wall after creating a map and your whole idea doesn't work because one of those limits.

    I'll be honest. I was scared for Doom at first. I had a formulaic and hilariously terrible gameplay experience in the closed and open multiplayer betas, and I continued to have that same **** experience in the multiplayer after release. You've heard the story about how that component was farmed out to the dipsticks that make the halo multiplayer, and it shows: it's halo with doom-flavoredI'll be honest.

You've heard the story about how that component was farmed out to the dipsticks that make the halo multiplayer, and it shows: it's halo with doom-flavored window dressing. But the moment the game launched, I heard nothing but good things about the campaign. I watched the Game Grumps play it, tried the demo, and got the game for myself in the recent Steam summer sale.

    The glowing reviews don't even do this game justice. Doom 4 is the perfect unholy marriage of everything that was once good in 90s FPS with what little is nice about modern ones, and its success is both a testament to the quality of that subgenre and a slap in the face to the military shooter I hope it will feel for some years to come. Channeling the first two Dooms with a vengeance, Doom 4 hurls you headlong into the action immediately, with brisk movement speed, no cover, no regenerating health, double jumping (eventually), no reloading, armor pickups, secret areas, powerups, the ability to carry every weapon at once and, if you're a stickler about that kind of thing, no cutscenes. It blends these with the amazing visuals you'd expect from ID's in-house engines and the modern mercy of the objective waypoint, sparing me from those long, agonizing hours of my youth spent blundering about Doom 2's infuriating mazes. New to the series also are alternate fire modes for your weapons, which replace the bland and boring iron-sight gameplay of modern FPS with Unreal Tournament-style combat options, with upgrades for these alt fire modes and "demon rune" perks that both are earned by and help you do more of the Doomy things you'd already be doing- shooting, rip and/or tearing, and finding secrets. I have heard absolute Doom purists complain about these upgrades, but I find them an enriching addition.

    On that note, I must speak to the signature mechanic of the game: the glory kills. It was originally feared that these too fundamentally altered and broke up the signature gameplay of Doom, but I view it from a different angle. They are the icing on a new kind of murder cake that this game has created, and I hope other games will follow its example. This Doom is not just a sequel to Doom 1 and 2, spiritually if not directly. It is the culmination and acknowledgement of the memetic evolution of Doom and it's nameless protagonist, including the infamous Brutal Doom mod. The achievements reference everything from classic cheat codes to the doom comic to the "shoot it until it dies" protip, and the phrase "rip and tear" is even used in-game. This is the story of Doomguy as the legend he has become, a berserker-packing man-and-a-half who can literally rip demons in twain with his bare hands and just happens to like power armor, guns and chainsaws because they make his job easier. There is just enough plot and lore entries to reinforce this idea, telling a story of a lone champion's eternal vengeance.

    The fact that glory kills reward you with health does indeed make the game easier, but that's because the game would be a lot harder if you didn't get health that way. You need to move fast because the demons are numerous and aggressive, and you need to carry all the guns because you actually need that much firepower to tackle everything hell throws your way. You need that armor to survive a few seconds longer, you need those upgrades and runes to give you an edge to offset the demons' numerical advantage... it all creates this gameplay loop that works incredibly smoothly. I enjoyed every moment of the campaign from beginning to end: the fights, the jumps, the secrets, and the plot, which through limited character interaction is very effective at what it does. I only hope that there are campaign add-ons in the future.

    With the multiplayer as disappointing as it is, with it's stupidly low time-to-kill ratio and various trappings of the CoD/Nexon/Overwatch genre of shooter, such as instant kills, weird hitboxes and total lack of rocket jumping, I thought my experience with Doom ended when the credits rolled after the campaign. The true surprise then, was the Snapmap mode: A built-in editor that allows you to create your own maps for deathmatches as well as solo or cooperative play, using pre-made room segments to create your own maps, and items, weapons, enemies, AI directors, environmental triggers and other bits that allow you to develop your own gameplay within the confines of the game's assets. It's no true set of mod tools and obviously pales in comparison to what is possible and has been done with classic Doom and Quake, but there is some surprising depth in Snapmap and is worth a look. Importantly, it means there is a form of coop in a game that would otherwise have none.    … Expand

Не знаю, что бы я говорил, поиграв я в Uncharted 4, но учитывая, что этого я не делал, игрой года для меня станет именно DOOM! Здесь вам и толпы врагов, и море безумия, и много забаввных шуточек на протяжении сюжета, и собирательство, и хороший мультиплеер, и куча экшена, и литры крови, и еще много всего, всего, всего, чего сейчас не хватает ни одному шутеру. Даже при учете, что игра, по большей степени, является "коридорной", это не мешает ей затянуть вас на еще парочку часов геймплея. Разработчики, вы просто молодцы! Я получил от игры столько, сколько и хотел получить и даже больше!
    Отличная графика и музыкальное сопровождение будут вас сопровождать на протяжении всего геймплея и это действительно круто! Отдельное спасибо разработчикам за полную локализацию игры в России, и что вы не просто отделались субтитрами, а добавили полноценную озвучку, что позволило мне не чувствовать себя в роли гражданина страны третьего мира. Что удивительно, сюжет в игре тоже есть (почему-то у меня DOOM никак не ассоциируется с сюжетом) и он вполне неплохо заходит. Собирательство тоже на неплохом уровне, порадовали куклы, которые очень напомнили пипбоев из FallOut, мне даже кажется, что это как-то связано! Финальные боссы просто шикарны, все трое! В общем, DOOM зарядил меня нереальной энергией и подарил мне очень много эмоций и впечатлений. Как по мне, так это лучший шутер последнего десятилетия, очень удачный, очень красивый и очень очень! Обязательно буду продолжать в него играть и рекомендую это сделать всем любителям шутеров, вы ни коим образом не пожалеете!

    Моя оценка игре: 9,5/10, дополнительные пол балла приберегу на вторую часть игры! Наслаждайтесь, господа! Кстати, не удивлюсь, если DOOM станет шутером года, рядом с ним, по личным ощущениям, только Gears of War 4.    … Expand

    My experience was mostly bug-free and the game looks amazing on my i5-3570k and GTX 780 SC. They keep the campaign fun by allowing a little bit of customization with gun mods and specialization points that you can use, to compliment your play style.

    What caught me by surprise was that my girlfriend actually got pretty heavy into the game. 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.

    My only criticism of the game is simply that the campaign didn't feel super long, and there isn't a whole lot of replay value for me.    … Expand
