    This is about a 7/8 score, good single player game old school style. I have given a 10 to counter act the absolute idiots who give it a 0. Nothing is worth a 0.

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

    I'd been waiting a long time for the next chapter in the DOOM series of games since the excellent and pant-pooingly scary Doom3, so I was initially a little dismayed when I read that the new one was a 'reboot' of the series as I didn't want my memories of the original games to be sullied - but this is Id Software.

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

Doom brings a smile to my face each time I load it up. The run and gun shoot em up theme style is alive and kickin in this new version, the graphics are awesome, the demon kills are great and the endless amount of ammo and gunfire just keeps me saying "Hell yea, that was awesome"
    The single player aspect of the game is fantastic, you have the core level experience with the rock and roll style kill em all action packed areas of each map, If you have played the older dooms you know exactly what im talking about, in many aspects I feel as if i'm playing Quake instead of Doom. Hands down the single player lives up to what I was expecting out of this game

    HOWEVER
    The multiplayer is a puke pile waiting to be set on fire and never touched again
    Simply put they shouldn't have even released the multiplayer
    Its extremely fast paced with a lot of bunny jumping and running around like old school Unreal Tournament but half the fun. Multiplayer is a sad excuse for trying to merge Call of Duty style fast paced run and gun with Unreal Tournament style maps and weaponry #megafail on the multiplayer aspect
    #winning on the single player

    -There's whining about lack of story. > Doom isnt about winning the Pulitzer Prize. Its DOOM.
    -There's whining about it being repetitive. > Ever play the classic? Obviously not.
    It goes without saying, one should take these kinds of heavily biased neg reviews with a grain of salt.

    No matter what the devs did with this Doom the people/kids are always going to complain and complain and complain. They seem to completely forget (or have never played) what the classic doom was all about. A gritty fast action shooter.

    IMO this is a great version of a classic. We'll never again achieve the greatness of the original in a remake, because it was the original; just like we'll never see another CoD as great as MW. You want to chase the feeling of the old classic? Then play the old classic....it's old and horrible to look at but the appeal lies in the nostalgia of 20+ years ago. Doom has never been about deep story. Its a hardcore shooter. Period. THIS IS DOOM for our modern age. Do yourself a big favour and try it out. Heck even wait for a sale if you're unsure as either way its a great revamped classic and killer shooter that's definitely worth playing. I loved Doom 3 and this new Doom is no exception. Loving it.

    DOOM's fantastic environments all look and play beautifully smooth even on my aging system.

It's tough to navigate around some of the faster moving demons and the stupid small sections they throw you in to fight them. They should have added sprint and some open area levels to make full use of the weapons because most enemies just rush you all the time.

    Visually it's superb like some of the UAC facility levels, weapons, few enemy designs (revenant, the undead and cacodemon being the only ones that stood out), and slick menu presentation. Loading times are ridiculous. Audio is hit and miss. Sound effects are good but some of the gun sounds and explosions are weak. Had to crank my volume a little bit. They nailed the music which is constantly there sometimes subtlety or full force.

    A sequel or DLC needs to add more variety (Phobos and Deimos?) because it was overall missing something I can't quite put my finger on? It badly needed something fresh because it all felt too mundane. It needs a story that isn't a rehash. It basically is a remake of Doom 3. That's not to say it sucks. It was a blast to play but too arcade-ish and similar for me. Worth a rental or pick it up when it drops to $20.    … Expand

DOOM has kept its chaotic run and gun touch in a modern world with classic kill chamber rooms, platform puzzles secret hunting, and classic arcade styled boss gun fights all thrown into a BEAUTIFULLY textured world. this game stands-alone in a world off rip of realism shooters people seem to want yet moan about.

    MP mode is fun and again kept to its roots old school PC players would know and love. Freeze Tag being a completely new type of FPS game mode I've seen on console and so much fun! although a want for more maps in the base pack would of been nice. DLC inbound.

    SnapMap: Is whats going to keep the game alive between content map creation allows community to create and upload fast and easily some great things already there, remakes of the classic game, a horde style mode for 4 players.

    all in all DOOM is the FPS that can do it all and does what it always has done to a great level. much like the reboot of Wolfenstien you can see they have put there heart into creating this game not just garbled out a classic franchise for monetary value

    This DOOM is excelent, the guns, the demons, the level design, the movement, and the guns power are the combination of good FPS. The difficulty is excelent, is very hard and most exciting to play. The ejecution of knocks to finish the demon are good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game tastes like a cocktail of the original doom, quake, unreal tournament and shadow warrior. The hidden classic levels are so reminiscent of my childhood. Graphics, AI, movement, badass weapon all deserve a great deal of admiration.
    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

    The most boring FPS in a long while. The action is too far between all the puzzles and platform jumping. When I do encounter monsters they are indistinguishable with each other and ridiculously easy to kill. Weapons feel too weak.

    I vividly remember the first version of DOOM back in 1994, mainly because that one managed to put a smile (or evil grin, more precisely) onto a gun hater’s face.
    I actually didn’t expect much of this new installation, I mainly bought it for the sake of old times.
    How wrong I was!
    I can’t remember last time I enjoyed a game that much.
    It’s (almost) brainless, brutal butchery, for the most part, but hell, isn’t that one of the things that computer gaming is all about?

    Thanks Bethesda, for restoring my faith into ‘reboots’ of legendary titles.
    Rock’n’Roll, that one is!!    … 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]
