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 original Doom was not about achievements or DLCs, the game play enough was what made it fun. It was also mostly a closed kind of tunnel'ish game where you didn't know what was going to be around the next corner. This version is more about large often outdoors areas.

    Then there is the multi-player. That is if you can find someone else to play with. Here about a year later from release and the the server(s) are pretty much dead.
    Also in the original Doom there was no concept of level. Here you are everyone's **** until you play up in levels because the level 50 people will stomp you. In the original you could just jump right in on an equal footing and it was your skill that made the difference.

    It's too bad John Ramero and John Carmack have long since left Id where they could have made a proper remake..

    I'm about 9 hours in and this is the most fun I have had with an FPS since the original Quake series came out. Great job id & Bethesda! The music by Mick Gordon is superb and really fits the atmosphere well. The visual effects are just jaw dropping. The level design is very well done and creative. It's easy to get lost in a few levels and takes some skill navigating.

    DOOM is fantastic and immensely satisfying. It sets aside sniping, cover, and all the other FPS conventions of the last decade, and brings back the hardcore DOOM experience at an astonishing level of polish. The single-player campaign is the most fun I've had playing a game in years. I can't recommend the single-player campaign highly enough.

    Note: I played some multiplayer. Here's my thought on that... If you EVER plan on playing the singleplayer, do yourself a favor and play through it BEFORE doing MP. Experience the game, weapons, and levels at the pace the developers intended. It is much more rewarding and fun. MP spoils that a bit by showing you all the areas and guns right away. That being said MP does bring back some classic "Quake Arena" styled mayhem and I do enjoy it. Snapmap creations are coming in, and are pretty cool!

    The save system absolutely sucks with checkpoints instead of quick saves and reloads and hard saves, This can be very exasperating when you are engaged in a difficult part requiring perfect jumps and numerous enemies with distant checkpoints forcing you waaaay back to the previous checkpoint and starting all over. That was the final straw that caused me to joyfully dump this turkey into the trash can.

    I loved Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil and Doom BFG. Very nice combinations of horror and FPS. ID should have stuck to that and improved on it but no, they came up with this borefest. Along with that stupid game, Rage, Doom 2016 will be another game I will never bother to play again. At least I finished Rage.    … Expand

    Fast paced and unashamedly coming from the old school of FPS design, DOOM (single player) is a kinetic bloodbath of guns, gore, and glory!

    The campaign mode is not the longest, but there is a hell of a lot of replayability and screeds of secrets to secure.

    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

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

Obviously, the mass majority of them are either people who have never played the original Doom games, and know nothing of what the original is about, and the other half are the purists, who say the game is too slow and that it's not a carbon copy of the original, so it sucks. Because innovation is bad, right? Now, there is also a small crowd who haven't played the first 2 games, but have played Doom 3, which was totally a deviation from the originals, and was poorly received on a whole. This is also a crowd that has never watched the e3 demo, or any of the videos released prior to launch, they were just like "oh hey I remember that game it was really scary." and was shocked when they found out "hey this isn't scary, 0/10." Another common complaint is that the game is repetitive, which is complete bs. This game has a massive load of replay value, due to the 5 difficulty levels and the numerous upgrades and weapon mods available. I completed my first playthrough on ultra-violence (hard), and my second playthrough on nightmare (very hard), and I'm currently attempting ultra-nightmare (1 death and it's game over.) And this game is STILL extremely fun. I don't get how anybody could not have fun with this amazing piece of artwork. Now, another thing I commonly see (mainly on steam reviews, but on here as well,) are people who have played 10-30 minutes of the game, and then leave a 0/10 score and refund the game. To which I have to say, did you really even play the game? You can't even complete the first mission in 30 minutes, much less actually try the multiplayer, or snapmap. These are people who just want to hate on the game because they think it's cool to do so. Not actual Doom fans, just casuals. Second, this game is MADE for PC. There are so many graphics settings, and the game is so well optimized that I can run it on my laptop, which has a GTX 960m in it, which is a horrible horrible low grade chip, in 720p 60fps. On my main rig I play 1440p, 120 fps. Yeah, it's really, really well optimized, which is amazing considering how AWESOME this game's graphics are. So please, ignore the hate reviews and just try the game for yourself. If you're a fan of the originals, you'll have a blast!… Expand

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

It's got its fair share of game breaking bugs, the autosave option could've used some work, and adding "RPG" elements connected to achievements is kind of counter-productive to the overall gameplay in my opinion.

All in all, good, clean fun in short intervals.… Expand

    I'll never forget the amount of negative attention this was getting prior to release.

    Then it came out. Yea it had a few flaws, but it's going down as a one of the great fast-paced FPS's of the decade. Multiplayer was a failure but the excellent singleplayer made up for it. The game goes on sale for cheap now but was totally worth the full price. Everyone should play through    I'll never forget the amount of negative attention this was getting prior to release.

    It's DOOM done well. There were few bosses, weapon progression was good as always. Game play became repetitive at times, little variation in maps. Story was good enough to hold your attention.

    Worth playing, did most things right. Missed some key points of effort to make the game great.

    Five Word Review: Classic modernized awesomely, runs fantastic!
    Favorite Thing: The combat. It's so frantic and fast paced, none of that slow cover nonsense. And the guns ... ahhh, the guns.
    Least Fav Thing: Firing the BFG is too risky ... it just might crash the game.

    Playtime: 23h (100% SP completion)
    Enjoyment: 9/10
    Recommendation: Hell yeah.

    I actually tried to like this game and I have been following Doom from its first release back in the day. It was a novelty because of the 3D settings that most games back then didn't have.

    At present, I find Doom 2016 very repetitive and gets more boring as it progresses. Altough the monster models are a higher detailed remake of the usual Doom monsters, the over all graphical quality    I actually tried to like this game and I have been following Doom from its first release back in the day.

    At present, I find Doom 2016 very repetitive and gets more boring as it progresses. Altough the monster models are a higher detailed remake of the usual Doom monsters, the over all graphical quality of everything having a red hue makes the game visual sub par.

    Its your basic run and gun with very little story. Its like the devs feel that there is no need for a story because the fan base already knows what to do. Mars has been invaded by demons, go kill them and get the station working again.

    I have reinstalled this game twice and just can't get into it. I didn't finish it the first time and probably won't this time. Sorry devs, I won't be buying the iteration.    … Expand

    So this is probably my favorite game that has been released this year. Sure I've enjoyed Battleborn, Overwatch and Dead By Daylight, but DOOM just feels like a complete game.

    For me when games let us create new content, it's a winner. I wish more games would let us create content for it.    … Expand

    Doom
    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    Doom

    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.
    I give doom an 8.9/10    … Expand

    Meaty multiplayer and a campaign that plays like a sustained electric shock. Eye wateringly fun. [July 2016, p.60]

    If you miss Doom, you miss what I anticipate to be one of two most important first person shooters of 2016. The classic returns in great shape, with all its vital elements intact. Give the campaign some time to pick up speed and it will pump your veins full of adrenaline. [07/2016, p.38]

    A tribute to Doom that leaps to great heights, but fails to fully stick the landing. [Issue#252, p.60]
