The level design is exemplary. Sound effects are okay. There are many different opponents with varied patterns and weaknesses. The game benefits from a long lifespan. The few puzzles there are are challenging and rewarding. The minimap is very useful and intuitive. The coop system is amazing. The graphics are more than decent and contribute to make "The Ultimate Doom" very fun to play despite the years that separate us from its creation. Clearly an 'easy to play - hard to master' type of game. Definitely a must-play !… Expand

    I didn't expect this game to age well, but nearly 3 decades later, I'm still finding this game fun to play in my 30s. It's a solid FPS game for the bargain bin. No story, no cut scenes, no politics or ethics, just mindless killing.

    Doom has revolutionized the FPS genre to a degree that it was imitated countless times. It is also one of the games in history that had the most impact on gaming. I remember the time when it came out. Amiga was -at least in my country- big. Whether it was Amiga, SNES or another console, it was certainly not PC that was the definitive gaming platform.

Whether it was Amiga, SNES or another console, it was certainly not PC that was the definitive gaming platform. Then Doom came and changed everything. By the end of 1995, Windows 95 was the second most installed software on personal computers. Doom was the first…

    It blows my mind how the original Doom plays today. The shooting feels so right. The sound effects and music are top notch and fit the game well. The animations look still good. It is just crazy that Doom, as a game which defined a genre (albeit not the first FPS title) was so perfect, whereas there are still literally dozens of FPSs released every year that fail to deliver simultaneously on all the aspects of a good shooter. There is a good variety of monsters and weapons and nothing feels out of place. It is fast paced, it is non-stop fun. There are game elements way ahead of its time such as when a monster accidentally attacks another one, he will get the aggro to himself. The only criticism I may have is that some levels (especially in Episodes 2 and 4) are not as good as the others.

    Doom is a special game. Unlike many other classics, it is not a product of its time. We don’t need nostalgia goggles to appreciate it. It still plays as perfect as when it came out. Just like Super Mario, it serves as a reminder that gameplay (not story, not graphics) is what makes a masterpiece.

    PS: I would recommend installing the Chocolate Doom mod, as it is the most accurate way to play the game as when it came out.

    Фан от боевки и шутинга присутствует даже сегодня, такой тип игр идеален, когда после тяжёлого дня хочется просто отключить мозг и расслабиться, без заморочек с крафтом, прокачкой и другими подобными механиками, просто беги и стреляй, а уж когда это завёрнуто в шикарный тир с кровавыми и мясными анимациями, динамичнейший геймплей, под темп которого входишь в раж, истребляя сотни и тысячи дерьмодемонов, да ещё и под самую любимую музыку, которая только существует....казалось бы вердикт - 10 из 10, навека, будет играбельно и через 20 лет, но есть одно большое НО, а именно:

    КТО Б***** ДЕЛАЛ ЭТИ КАРТЫ, КАКОЙ ИЗВРАЩЁННЫЙ УМ???

    И самое главное, чем это было обосновано? Не то, чтобы они были плохи сами по себе. Конкретно в этой игре они обрушивают динамичный темп геймплея, полностью ломая фан от игры.

    Типичная ситуация: - Вы зачистили уровень после интенсивных и очень крутых перестрелок, вам хочется ещё. - НО, как бы не так. - Видишь вон ту жёлтую дверь? - Ищи для неё карту...а эта самая карта регулярно спрятана в самых неочевидных местах, часто соседствующих с секретными местами в локациях. - Нашёл? - Молодец! - Теперь ищи синюю карту. - Отыскал? - Просто, красавчик! - Теперь настало время для поиска красной карты...

    И так на каждом уровне. А учитывая, что некоторые уровни спроектированы как лабиринт, в котором игрока как-будто намеренно пытаются запутать, некоторые уровни проходятся по часу, а может даже и больше, это ужасно. Ты приходишь в аренный шутер, а он тут идёт в дополнение к лабиринту-квесту, который ломает всё удовольствие от шикарной стрельбы.

    Читающие эту рецензию могут возразить, что в то время так было везде. Но, во-первых, это не так, тот же дюк нюкем 96 года не страдал настолько запутанным и тормозящим темп игры гейм-дизайном, во-вторых, если решение было обосновано увеличением времяпрепровождения игрока в игре, дабы они не пробегали все уровни за пару часов, то моё мнение неизменно: лучше один-два часа интенсивного и крутого экшна, чем растягивание геймплея посредством запутанных локаций и поиска карт, что нивелирует удовольствие от игры (Представьте себе такой гейм-дизайн в другой динамичной игре, например, в devil may cry, и как в итоге мог бы пострадать тамошний геймплей от таких решений). Плюс ко всему разработчки открыли инструментарий движка, позволяя фанатам клепать модификации и карты, из-за чего вдвойне непонятно какого чёрта следовало так растягивать геймплей, ведь его малая продолжительность с лихвой бы компенсировалась новыми картами и уровнями от фанатов.

    Графику по понятным причинам оценивать не буду, сюжет тоже, в данном случае с него нет никакого спроса, игра вышла в мире, где ещё не было первой Half-life и Unreal.

Without a doubt, an improvement on everything to previous games like Wolfenstein 3d, Doom is a very adrenaline-pumping FPS, with a great emphasis on combat and your ability to dodge attacks. As you explore areas you get many types of items that give you different things, be it ammunition, some power up, more life, etc. Each weapon must be used with each type of enemy, and speaking of enemies, they give off charisma and are very unique! There is no enemy equal to the other and the level design is very good. It is a very balanced game and without a doubt it has stood the test of time, but we have to talk about certain flaws. Doom being such an old game, it is obviously not perfect and in fact, while it aged well, it dont aged well at all:

    -Doom is not a 3d game, in fact, it uses a 2d engine, so this causes certain negative things in the gameplay, the most serious is that the fact of going over an enemy stops the character in his tracks as If there was an invisible wall (this is more noticeable in Doom 2 with levels with buildings, for example, where an enemy that is on the previous floor blocks you even if you do not see anyone, they can even attack you!)
    -Auto aiming can also cause you to fire the rocket launcher into the ground, dealing serious damage to you (this would have been fixed by simply removing the blast damage for the player)
    -Not being able to look up and down would not consider it as a bad thing in itself, since it is a gameplay that is partly fresh and in fact, it does not hinder the gameplay so much, but there are times that flying enemies are positioned far above you and They attack you without your shots reaching them.
    -Enemies that are extremely far away may not get the shots, but they do.
    -While I said that the level design is very good at a general level, some levels fall short of certain things, such as the fact that the final boss can be killed in 2 seconds with the BFG 9000 or that in some levels there are invincibility items in excess to kill them, making these critters even weaker than the normal enemies of the game, which is a shame, because their design and ways of attacking are interesting.
    -It can become somewhat repetitive over time and the puzzles in which you have to get keys can irritate a bit but ... good.
    Doom is a game that in all, makes it great, even today. It is incredible that even the FPS today do not manage to offer an experience as addictive as Doom is, who would say? Kill hundreds and hundreds of enemies on well-designed maps at full speed .... Very fun and recommended, especially in Zdoom and Gzdoom that solve certain problems and improve the gameplay. Although personally, I like the PS1 version of the game more, since it solves certain bugs, improves graphics, the inclusion of Doom 2, new levels, a new enemy and a setting and soundtrack that agrees more with the game itself. (Since the music that sounds in Doom does not make much sense, since we remember that the protagonist is in hell).

    А сюжет, как говорил Джон Кармак, дело обязательное, но не такое уж важное. И в DOOM он есть, но описать его можно одним предложением: морской пехотинец отправился в Ад сразиться с полководцем демонов, которые попали на космическую станцию из-за сорвавшегося эксперимента.

    Игровой процесс прост, но интересен. Нам доступен небольшой арсенал, в котором есть всё необходимое. И надо пилить, взрывать, расстреливать демонов, дабы успешно добраться до выхода с уровня. Помочь нам могут разбросанные по секретным комнатам бонусы и усилители. Согласитесь, гораздо приятнее расстреливать огромного барона Ада, предварительно поглотив сферу души, которая полностью восстанавливает здоровье? Местный "зоопарк" полон не только бугаями вроде вышеназванного барона или какодемона. Есть и бедняги с Земли, которым не повезло стать зомби. А основным пушечным мясом адской армии являются импы - гуманоиды с острыми шипами, способные стрелять в вас огненным шаром.

    Это настоящая классика, в которую можно комфортно и интересно играть в 2020 году при помощи source-портов. Если вы дикий фанат современных игр DOOM, то прохождение оригинала строго обязательно.    … Expand
