Doom 2016 is an homage to the older dooms, focusing on fluid, fast game-play while feeling like the ultimate bad-ass as the doom marine. This iteration has a bunch of customization aspects as well which gave it almost a DeadSpace Downfall feel as you upgraded your suit and modified your weapons. The new rpg and customization elements fit well in the structure of the game, adding just enough depth to be interesting and impact-full but not enough to be an awful mini-game chore in and of itself (cough garrisons cough). I had really high hopes for this game being such an esteemed franchise and such an esteemed development company finally getting a crack at this classic game.… Expand

The alternate fire is fun, and I love the ease of being able to switch in between 'em o the fly. The variety is spot-on, and plays a strategy on how you tackle the field of monsters. The weapon unlocks, coupled with the challenges, keep me cycling through my arsenal in order to try new things--it also encourages you to perceive each battle with a different strategy.

    The real show-stealer, however, is the crafty level design; coupled with the themes and atmosphere. You truly feel you're on Mars/Hell . It's incredible. I find myself in awe of the draw distance, looking at the terrain and action in the far background.

Not Doom3 levels of exposition, but just a little bit more dialogue to pad out your journey would have been nice in my opinion.

    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.

    After playing the single player campaign I have to say that it's been a long time since I had that ''classic FPS'' feel, I wouldn't say it's a pure Doom sequel though, because it borrows elements from other classic shooters as well (you decide which ones those are), with just a few more modern features like upgrades and runes. The graphics look amazing (even if my hardware is below the recommended requirements, I was able to play on high with very few slowdowns), the pace is just right and the gore is simply orgasmic! (I can see that they've been watching Brutal Doom haha).

    This Doom proves to me that you CAN succesfully combine classic and modern elements into a pure FPS, and after the disappointment that was Duke Nukem Forever, I'm VERY happy about that.

    Conclusion: A straightforward, no bull**** and fast-paced arcade shooting experience worth checking out for yourself! (this goes for the single player only, haven't played any multiplayer yet)    … Expand

They don't tend to make half-baked games and when I saw the gloriously gruesome reveal footage for it, I pre-ordered it on Steam almost straight away!

    Let's cut to the bit that you'll be wanting to read: I’m pleased to say that the new DOOM is utterly, utterly outstanding. It plays somewhat like the original game, but it’s been brought bang up to date and feels like it’s been to the gym and pumped up on steroids and it’s refreshing to see that Id Software have eschewed the usual route of using cut-scenes in the new DOOM - it just drops you right in the action without so much as an introduction and the story (what there is of it) unfolds as you play the game.

    All of the demonic foes from the originals are present and correct have been brought up to date and imbued with new abilities. The lowly imps that used to simply be bullet fodder, for example, are now cunning little buggers that constantly leap around and try to flank or get behind you at every opportunity – they also try to get up to high ground so that they can sling fireballs at you from above. Thankfully, you have that classic arsenal of weapons at your disposal, all of which are fun to use and have some superb new abilities – and can I hear a ‘Hell Yeah’ for the return of the double-barrelled super-shotgun from Doom2? Everything from the pistol all the way through to the BFG are upgradable via weapon tokens that can be picked up after killing waves of enemies or completing special challenges, and these upgrades unlock each weapon’s secondary fire mode which are useful when dealing with the bigger and tougher demons later in the game. There are two upgrades per weapon which, once selected, reveal branches of additional upgrades that can be unlocked to increase the weapon’s power and efficiency. It’s not just the weapons that are upgradable either – your suit can be beefed up to make you tougher, stronger and faster and there are options to increase your health, armour and ammo capacity – so the potential to customise your weapons and abilities to your liking should significantly increase the game’s replay value.

    The original DOOM games were famously gruesome, and it should come as no surprise that the new game is breathtakingly, grimace-inducing and absurdly ultraviolent! You can choose the normal route of turning your demonic foes into a red smoosh by blasting them at point-blank range or you can soften them with a couple of blasts and look out for them stumbling around with a blue glow around them, which means that you can use the new ‘glory kill’ ability on them. This is basically a quick close-range execution move which in some cases must be performed to dispose of the tougher enemies, particularly if you’ve ran out of ammo and are shooting at them with the pistol. Rather usefully, performing a glory kill also causes them to drop medipacks and a small amount of ammo, so you’ll find yourself doing them frequently to keep your health topped up. If you run out of ammo however, you’ll find yourself whipping out the good old chainsaw and it’s of course the case that when using this that you’ll see the game’s most gruesome sights as you literally cut them in half! It’s not just violence for violence’s sake however as chainsaw kills cause lots of ammo to be dropped, so you’ll find yourself using it fairly often.

    It would be unfair not to mention DOOM’s visuals as they are absolutely spectacular. I’ve found myself gawping about at the surroundings, particularly in the outdoor areas of Mars and (not really a spoiler) when I’ve been in Hell as they’re absolutely stunning to behold – the lighting, particle and shadow effects are in some cases mind-blowingly cool. It does however help that I’ve got a machine that’s capable of playing the game at ‘Ultra’, so things do really look very nice indeed – but it should look great even if you’ve got a slightly older machine and have to dial the settings down a little.

    Special mention also needs to go to the sound and particularly the music in DOOM as if you’re a lover of Metal, you’re going to find the soundtrack very enjoyable indeed. It’s very broody and almost sounds like Nine Inch Nails in the quieter bits, but when you’re getting attacked from all sides by demons, it whips up into a full on industrial metal riff-fest and I’ve seriously found myself gently moshing while playing! It’s seriously good and adds another level of brilliance to the game.

    Summing up, I think that Id Software have seriously outdone themselves here and have delivered a game the exceeded my expectations by some degree. It’s fun, loud, brutal and brash and deserves your attention!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think its absolutely amazing so far, probably the most fun i've had playing a single player campaign game since Doom3 which i recently completed and FC3... Game play wise its really fast paced, in saying that you can slow the action down by being selective as to your movements, e.g. taking things out from a far - which is a little difficult with the initial pistol and laterly the shotty. There's a lot of action, even with the medium difficulty setting 'hurt me plenty'. The game Its linear, as you'd expect but there's more hidden stuff and mini missions within the main missions. Theres a whole host of power ups for the suit and now for the guns - just received a explosive shell upgrade to my shotgun. The pistol is pretty much ineffective - good for getting the possessed to a stunned state so you can use the melee and the trusty shotty is quick loading and carrys 20 shells max meaning you're often on the look out for more ammo. The melee strikes have little cut scenes ani's as you've probably seen in the videos leading up to teh release - you get more power ups for doing such melee attacks and the variation of how they're pulled of hasnt gotten old, yet.. So far i've come across two new types of enemy character - the possessed -which are as you'd expect the staff from UAC wondering around like zombies from dayz and these engineer type people who've got welding bottles stuck in them, which blow up nicely.... Its graphically stunning, i knew id was great at optimizing games, in fact it's the primary reason Doom was so successful and able to played by so many people, so it's in their blood. Good to see that part is still around. I never expected to play this game so well though on my hardware. With everything cranked up @ 2560x1440 @ ultra and full AA im getting about 50-62 fps on my 980ti, so its coping... I'm finding it quite hard going on the eyes at the moment, the amount of different light sources and brightness in the game generally is in stark contrast to D3, but this is a differently themed animal so far...… Expand

    Playing it is a good way to decompress after a long day of work.
    Doom comes with a refreshing "old like FPS" style. It Simple, brutal and rewarding. Like a lot of people I wasn't enthusiastt about a new gen Doom. Finally it's here and it's really better than expected.

    A pitiful excuse for a DOOM game and a game in general. First off let's talk about the gameplay, your character moves so slow compared to the original even when you "sprint" as they like to call it you move at a maximum of one mile per hour. This is especially bad on the PS4 and Xbone versions since they run at a max of 15fps.

    DOOM is know for it's fast paced and challenging gameplay which are 2 things this game lacks in a major way. You can beat the campaign in less than an hour if you're even halfway competent thanks to the incredibly OP chainsaw and its weapon drops. I'm on the edge of my seat just thinking about the tensionless "gameplay" in this "game". Did I mention the slapped together multiplayer mode yet? The less said about that the better yowzers. So due to all of that and the fact that when I returned this to gamestop I saw a line of people doing the same this is probably the end of DOOM and hopefully id Software aswell. I can't in good conscience give this more than a 0.    … Expand

    First off - this game isn't actually a 10/10, but so many idiots are giving it a 0, it's my duty to try and offset it.

    The single player campaign, which I bought the game for, is superb, and in top form. It's everything you could possibly want from a proper reboot of a beloved classic franchise.

    The multiplayer sucks but who cares.    … Expand

    This would be an ok game but for the POS checkpoint save, what dumbass thought that would be a good idea for pc game. It woudn't be so bad but there are so few of them and at stupid points in the game.

    Pre-bought this a while back and was worried when the negative feedback came out during beta. I have only played single player. AWESOME. A return to the spirit of the original Doom. Twitchy, adrenaline pumping game play in beautiful environments. The game is linear, just like the original, but what a ride. I have not had this much fun in a single player PC game for a long time.

    perfect

    I like that it is so fast paced and smooth. I am huge fun of Alien: Isolation, Dead Space and Doom, I have been loving them for many years but they are so slow. I love the jumping. I love all music, weapons, enemies, places and robot. I like that enemies comes very close. Easy to shoot and more scarier. I don't like shooting enemies that are very far. It feels like I am    perfect

    I like that enemies comes very close. Easy to shoot and more scarier. I don't like shooting enemies that are very far. It feels like I am shooting ants. I hate it. I love shotguns. I don't like machine guns, I don't like the flash.

    This is the only game I like. Why can't they make games like this more.
    What I love about this type of video games is I can control the character. I can go many horror places.I can make my own story. This is something that can't be done in movies. Something that can't enjoy in movies.

    One concern though. This game might make some people very violent.
    Makes some people want to or like violence.

    No one wants PS4 or xbox one. They wanted it after they found a game they really like.    … 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]
