    I've finally gotten around to playing doom over 2 years after it's released and.... I'm very underwhelmed. Played the first few hours of the campaign and it feels extremely bland for what it is. A vast majority of people seem to enjoy it, but the gameplay just wasn't satisfying for me. Wouldn't recommend.

It is one of the very rare kind of games, that gets better with age. One advice : set your FOV (field of view) to some higher value, I play it on 120, by default it is 90.… Expand

    The ONLY game, that made me take gaming seriously again since StarCraft 2... This is distilled perfection! This is what old school gamers have missed so much.... This is ID Software showing everyone what a GAME should be.. This is perfection in every sense possible! Now go and BFG Division until your heart explodes with adrenaline.... YES!!! IT'S THAT GOOD !!! Doom is Eternal!

    A pretty good shooter if you wanna relax and just shoot the crap out of countless waves of enemies.But storywise it was boring and the boss fights were pretty meh.The final boss fight was pretty lame and i though that i would get a more epic final fight but i did not.For the price of 20 bucks i say its worth buying it

    Forgot to mention the damn crapy music. It's a kind of hard rock music soundtrack but goodness, it's not even good (hard rock is not my cup of tea but I enjoy some metallica n co.).
    Under scoring the game to balance the fake positive review here, deserves a 6-7.
    Play Shadow Warrior 2 instead : fun, fast but Much more interesting.    … Expand

    A story without importance, basic and without hook that at no time tries to draw attention to the player.

    The gunplay is excellent and the gameplay in general is very funny, but the plataformeo does not work and the game can be quite repetitive.
    Executions ... More animations are needed. They become very repetitive.

    Short version, it's fun to kill demons.

    OK, it's a fast shooter, mainly for action moments and gore, don´t have a strong history but don't need it. It has a very good graphics and good scenarios.

    Some people don't like this type of games, but if u like shooters or action games this is your game

    If you’re familiar with DOOM 3 you’ll have a pretty good idea what to expect from DOOM 2016, although, in truth, it’s actually a little different, if memory serves me. There’s plenty to like here if you enjoy fast-paced arena-style battles with loads of enemies, big guns, and masses of demon gore. That’s basically what the DOOM games do and they do it very well.

There’s plenty to like here if you enjoy fast-paced arena-style battles with loads of enemies, big guns, and masses of demon gore. That’s basically what the DOOM games do and they do it very well. 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

    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.

    Exactly what you'd expect. It plays very fast, has a variety of weapons and the setting is amazing. It runs extremely good as well, I get around 200 FPS (max settings, 1080p) on a 1070.

    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.

    Turn all other game volume / voices down to 50%, then crank up your speakers.

    Doom is pretty dang fun. If you want a fast-paced gore-fest game, Doom is right for you. If you get tired of killing demons then head on over to the multiplayer. Both are great and so is the game itself.

    DOOM is a very good game. Unlike most modern FPS, it is a fast-paced game that focus on gameplay and nothing else. The game is running super smoothly on a good gaming PC, and nearly everyone should be able to hit 60fps without any substantial drop in graphic settigs.

    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
