    When I played DOOM 2016 I was in a constant rush. Shoot whatever the hell you see! Rip and tear! One of my favorite games of all time. With DOOM Eternal I do not have this feeling at all.

    Firstly, the sound just feels off. Weapons do not have a good punch and the music doesn't mix well. The sound feels muffled and unsatisfying as if something is really going wrong there. For some reason    When I played DOOM 2016 I was in a constant rush. Shoot whatever the hell you see! Rip and tear! One of my favorite games of all time. With DOOM Eternal I do not have this feeling at all.

    Firstly, the sound just feels off. Weapons do not have a good punch and the music doesn't mix well. The sound feels muffled and unsatisfying as if something is really going wrong there. For some reason the music doesn't elevate the experience either and tracks are boring quickly unlike in DOOM 2016.
    The animations of glory kills can sometimes be funny and creative but 70% of them feel familiar and they are far more fluid in their animation than the one's in DOOM 2016. Just not a very satisfying feeling.
    Next, the game looks and feels very arcade-like, and I just can't take this world seriously. The environments are a visual overload of bizarness and although levels differ from each other in visuality, within a level the visuals feel very same-y and corridor like. I feel very restricted in where I can go and am constantly running into walls wondering:"where do i need to go?" until I find that one path I can go past.
    First I was not interested in finding secrets as well. The platforming just makes traversing in levels an unenjoyable experience and I am not interested i doing more of that. I have done a playthrough where I collected all the secrets and you do this by pausing the game every area and you can see on the map where the secrets are. Badly designed in my opinion.
    I do feel they advanced the complexity of the combat a lot and you really need to juggle constantly between weapons and other gadgets to survive. They teach you all this by pausing the game and jarringly telling you what you need to do in text. Still I needed to replay the game after a few hours as you need to learn so much at the start. If you feel you are failing in juggling these things at the start I advice you to do the same. The complexity doesn't make the game more fun btw, because the shooting itself is still unsatisfying.
    More importantly, juggling the combat on a ps4 controller rough. I'd advice replacing the dash to R3 so you keep your finger on the right stick for aiming. Still throwing and switching grenades and using the flame belch requires you to get your finger off of the analog sticks which makes using these tools harder. Switching to a specific weapon can not be done quickly by design as you need to hold it for a bit for the weapon wheel to show up. Using the quickswitch R1 between shotgun and sentinel works wonders though.
    Now the graphics on ps4 are actually a downgrade from DOOM 2016. I think the complexity of the far backgrounds takes a lot out of the computing power, because the lighting is worse now. I believe people if they say it is an upgrade on pc, but not on ps4. I did not notice any frame rate dips though, so that's great.
    The last aspect are the new cinematics. The opening cutscene is nice, but the rest is just okay. They are nor boring nor very enjoyable, but they do take your time of from the shooting, so I'll skip them next time. Honestly, they shouldn't have bothered on most of them as the story is also explained badly and I have no idea what everybody is talking about 80% of the time. If you read the lore it will likely make total sense, but I bought a game, not a book. I want to be able to get the gist of it without having to read anything, as DOOM 2016 did so well.
    To conclude, I think this game just misses a lot of focus on making a campaign that is concise and enjoyable to go through multiple times without annoying platforming. The feel of the combat is now worse in terms of giving you a brutal feel in terms of animations and sound, which makes it hard for the more advanced mechanics to shine. I am surprised how this game turned out to be.    … Expand

    If I were to describe this game in one sentence, it would be that it feels like a boiled down arcade mode of the 2016 version.

    - I was always skeptical of the glory kills in the original, as I was afraid they would be a forced and repetitive mechanic that would constantly take you out of the action. This turned out not to be the case in 2016, but it absolutely is in eternal. - Enemies    If I were to describe this game in one sentence, it would be that it feels like a boiled down arcade mode of the 2016 version.

    - Enemies now have weaknesses that needs to be exploited as ammo is very sparse. This quickly becomes repetitive as best illustrated with the caca demon (The flying ball with a mouth and an eye), where you have to throw a grenade into its mouth and perform a glory kill. Every time.
    - Graphics are much improved but the overall setting feels much more cartoony with the way pickups stand out in the landscape.
    - There are now monkey bars and wall climbing.
    - Combat is constantly interrupted by cut-scenes. E.g. when you kill a set of enemies you would see a cutscene of a door unlock. I was surprised on how much this actually breaks the flow of the game.
    - It feels far less polished than the prior entry.

    By all means it's a decent game, but if you came here expecting a followup to Doom 2016, you will be disappointed. I would recommend picking this up once it goes on sale.    … Expand

It's more for hard core first person shooters I guess than the once-in-a-while casual player or the "revisit Doom" player. This just doesn't float my boat for $64. I certainly won't be streaming through SONY anymore. Hardcore CD or bust. So I learned something for the money. For 8k, too, it could have had better vista's. A lot of CPU power sucked up into what seems like 3 colors: Red, Black, Yellow. Booooring visuals. Gore is the same cut scenes. zzzzzz.

    I really like previous Doom. But this game is not Doom. It is Super Mario. All what is good here is spoiled by jumping sequences which don't bring anything good to gameplay. This is the biggest disappointment in years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yep, I knew they would mess it up.
    Doom Eternal is a game that struggles between genres. The simple concept of "point cross-hair at enemy and press the button" had to be altered until it became malformed. Why the hell do developers always stray away from the original design? Why do they always have to add more unnecessary stuff? In short, levels have become more linear, and riddled with platform sections, but weapons and enemies are now more varied, to the point that you cannot simply just blow **** up. you must either wait for them to attack, blow their shield down with a specific weapon, punch their armor, etc. And thanks to all the wonderful gamers out there, Doom now has a story. Who in their right mind would want story and lore in Doom? All in all, this game just doesn't feel fun. It's a modern day AAA game with all the trappings of its dumb competitors, masquerading as an "old school back to the roots" FPS. There would be more i would want to talk about, like on the higher difficulty where all the enemies gang rape you, cause you always dash in walls and get stuck in some weird geometry, or how most enemies have a special attack that if you get close to them they bash your head instantly making armor collecting from them almost impossible during harder fights. Or the repetitive level design (narrow corridor that leads to a crappy arena then jumping on platforms then back to narrow corridors), in which the only themes are "apocalyptic city" and "ancient castle", and a few laboratory areas like in Doom 2016. That's it. No variety whatsoever. In short, ONLY buy this game on a sale.    … Expand

    Weapons are useless because of low ammo, and always glory killing is boring to me...

It's basically you climb and jump until you activate an encounter, then you're locked in there and kill everything then move onto the next platforming section, rinse and repeat. I also don't feel like the gun sounds are as satisfying in the sequel and the music isn't as immersive. I also wish more of the story and lore was explained rather than being hidden in collectibles.
    But once you get into the groove of the game it is the fast paced action only doom can deliver. The thing that sticks out the most for me are the boss encounters and slayer gates. All challenging but extremely fun. By far the best parts of the game.

    This game features a 2v1 multiplayer battle mode where you play as one of the two demons or doom slayer. It is a very fun and well-balanced game mode. However, I am disappointed by the lack of multiplayer modes this game has compared to Doom 2016. There is no Team Deathmatch, Clan Arena, Freeze Tag, Domination anywhere to be found. I'll get bored of 2v1 eventually and I need more game modes to change things up. Hopefully the developers include new game modes in future updates.

Doom eternal tries to keep it fresh by introducing mechanics for refilling your ammo, armor and health by doing various different types of kills. To me, that mostly hurts the game. I dont know how many times I ran up to a monster to try to chainsaw him just to be out of chainsaw fuel. Or to punch an enemy that stopped blinking the second I got there. It hurts the flow of the game.

    The game also heavily relies on platforming, its not some small optional thing. You will need to platform all the time. Platforming works very poorly in first person games, which is why it is usually very rare and only used as a spice in some games successfully. Here, it is everywhere.

    The game also very quickly gets repetitive, which would be fine if the game mechanics were excellent but the constant confusion of juggling different styles of killing an enemy to get what you need is just annoying. It ends up feeling like a chore instead of awesome.

    I miss the times of games like Doom 3, which was more horror-oriented and used pacing to tell a story mixed with some great shoot outs. I sure wish the ID team could go back to making one like that instead. This is just not that great, in my opinion.    … Expand

They improved the production values, increased the scope of the game, inserted more of a plot/characters, and kept the same intense gameplay. For me, I enjoyed the puzzley platforming and finding the secrets; they were challenging. What I just cant stand though is the relentless combat which to me is a chore to play through since you are constantly fighting the same enemies over and over again. This is especially tiring given that the levels this time around are humongous and take around 2 hrs to beat sometimes. Its just too much repetitive fighting for me that ultimately killed the enjoyment of this game for me. I got to level 6 before I just could not take it anymore. I enjoyed the original Doom games because the levels weren't that long and there was a better balance of exploration, enviromental puzzle solving/platforming, and combat in those games. The combat wasn't the main focus. So, if you love combat in games and are a fan of God of War or Halo, you'll probably love this game since it seems like an infusion of both. Wasn't for me though since I'm more into the less frequent combat, exploration, environmental puzzles, and secrets of the classic games.… Expand

    -New lore and details on where Doomguy came from. I personally preferred the mystery and didn't need this though.

    Cons:
    -You will be jumping, dashing everywhere. The entire game is a laborious jump puzzle. The previous game had touches of it here and there but oh boy, get ready for Prince of Persia, Sands of Hell.
    -The story only makes sense if you read everything you pick up. I had no idea where I was or why half the time until... Ohhh that's why I was here. Very little voice acting prompting you with the story too.
    -The demons have a rock/paper/scissors mechanic to them, one gun kills one of them good now but, oh now you've found another one, need a different gun for him. This might work well on the PC but it ruins the high speed immersion on the PS4 bringing up the weapon wheel every time you turn a corner.
    -Your basic punching does nothing.
    -You will permanently be out of ammo at the beginning of the game.
    -On normal difficulty they Hurt! I destroyed unreal tournament when I was younger so I'm no noob when it comes to high speed games but I'm really glad I didn't put this on hard to begin with.
    -You MUST make/sign into a Bethesda.net account. I have no interest in a Bethesda account, I just came here to shoot things in the face. Why you do this. Was the price I paid for it at the store not enough?

    Despite alllll of these cons, the gunplay and level design (in combat) makes up for all of these things and I would recommend it for fans to buy. I remember finishing my first little intense challenge arena and shouting, Yes! That is what I came here for!
    It's still a great fun game but don't come here expecting more of the same as Doom 2016 because you'll be disappointed like I was. Unless you like jumping over lots of lava of course. Me, when I play Doom, it's to shoot things. Call me a simple man but when I play Assassins Creed it's to sneak around and assassinate people, when I play Mario it's to jump around and boop things. When I play Doom it's to run around and shoot demons in the face with a shotgun. That's it.
    I would rate this lower but a 6 is too low... but a 7 is just a tiny bit too high. 6.8 / 6.9

    In a weird way, it's more like classic Doom in this regard.

    However, so far, for every step forward, it takes a step back, but the steps back are smaller.

    For starters, it's far more colorful and saturated. The environments are extremely detailed and interesting. There are some very cool visuals.

    There are also a lot more invisible walls. In an area that looked like a destroyed shopping center, I couldn't jump behind a counter because of an invisible wall. I also fell a few times looking for secrets by trying to jump to a ledge where it looked like I could land, only to hit an invisible wall and fall.

    Falling into pits doesn't kill you instantly anymore. You just spawn back on the ground minus some health.

    The soundtrack isn't as good this time so far. It's not bad though. It's industrial metal again, but I'm finding it less interesting. It just doesn't have the same kick to it as the last game and seems more subdued.

    It's also a lot more cartoonish than Doom 2016. Enemies look less "real". They seem to have a little of that "rubbery" effect animation has sometimes.

    The environments are really nice, but also seem less grounded somehow.

    The enemies animate really well, the kills are inventive so far, and it's definitely entertaining.

    Ammo, armor, health, and powerups pickups are also a lot more cartoonish. They glow neon colors, more so than in Doom 2016. They are larger and look a bit out of place to be honest. They are easy to see though, which isn't a bad thing.

    There are also secrets, but rather than being objects placed in the world like the little Funpop Doom guys from Doom 2016, they are large question marks.

    The first keycard I found was just floating in the air in an empty room. The same goes for weapons when you find them. In Doom 2016 you found them on bodies and they were naturally placed in the environment. They seem to care less about that this time.

    There's also a 1-up powerup that kicks in when you die. It resurrects you and slows down time for a brief period. It's a large green Doom Guy helmet that says 1-up.

    Gameplay is fast, and you're dropped right into things. I have no idea what is going on aside from "Hell on Earth". It does not pick up where Doom 2016 left off, unless there's some backtracking in the story later.

    I'm thinking there may be some explanation for it, but I'm not sure if it's going to be in codex entries or be a plot point in the actual game. The story so far is dumb and convoluted. There's more than there needs to be by a lot.

    Honestly, the most irritating thing about the game is the story. Half the fun of Doom 2016 was that Doom Guy couldn't give less of a **** about anything but killing demons and wrecking anything related to Hell.

    He didn't care who caused it, he was just there to clean up the mess and break enough to ensure it didn't happen again.

    It seems like they're trying to turn it into some grand sci-fi space opera with deep lore with interdimensional politics, and that goes against what Doom really is. A story like the one they seem to be trying to tell just gets in the way.

    The game seems harder than Doom 2016.

    You have a lot less ammo, need to be more accurate, and can't just glory kill unarmed zombies anymore. They aren't just walking health and armor packs anymore. They take a lot more damage and need to be shot first.

    You need to be accurate with your shots, at least in the first area. I'm thinking the game will allow you to upgrade your ammo at some point, but you start out with only 16 shotgun shells. They seem to want you to use the chainsaw a lot more, but there are a lot of ammo pickups as well.

    I've encountered fairly large groups of enemies in the first area, a lot more than in Doom 2016's early areas, but not as many as in some of the later areas.

    You'll encounter some fairly bullet spongey enemies early on as well.

    Traversal seems to be a bigger focus this time, with bars that swing you around, and I've encountered a fair number of jump pads. Stuff seems less naturally placed though. It's still a blast to play, but may not be what people are expecting it to be. A lot of people are going to hate this game, but I've enjoyed it so far. I'm unsure if I'll come out of it thinking it is as good as Doom 2016 though. I'll definitely be finishing it at least. It's fun and new Doom. Though, again, it seems to be more of a throwback to classic Doom in some ways, and not always in ways that improve on Doom 2016.    … Expand

    There is obviously a ton of action going on in this game constantly, from start to finish. But action isn't the same as visceral impact on the player resulting from that constant activity....

    Doom 2016 had the same issue for me.....Even as you jump around snapping necks or cutting demon's in half it just doesn't feel like that's really what you're doing. The entire experience is just too simplified.

    Bioshock is the best example I can think of of a shooter which achieved that kind of visceral impact I was hoping a Doom reboot would deliver. When you fired a gun in Bioshock, it felt real. There was massive kickback. You could see the shrapnel bouncing off of the environment. The sound from firing a gun was shocking to the senses. The target absorbed the impact like a real person (at least more than other games).

    That is what a Doom remake should've been too. That kind of brutality is what Doom is supposed to be all about. I'm very disappointed that it has not turned out that way. I hoped they would fix this massive problem from the 2016 reboot in this version, but unfortunately they clearly didn't. It is a fatal error.

    And the platforming is just obnoxious, not fun. Nobody asked for a Doom platformer.    … Expand

    I tend to side with story games a lot with immersion and attachment to the characters, but doom eternal is a fun game. It’s game mechanics create fast movement and quick reaction times which resemble an arcade shooter. These mechanics distinguish what a good game and a fun game is. A good game for sure, but one of the funnest games you’ll play today.

    Also, there is a big problem on core gameplay in this game, they somehow manage to ruin what feels so good on Doom 2016. The pace is awful, it's like they want you to be technical, making every demon require specific weapon-mod-weakpoint combination, but also throws at you a horde of 20 demons on a close space with infinite respawn... And that doesn't combine well with the ammo mechanic of this game. Doom 2016 manage these a lot simpler, better IMO.

    Roll on Doom Eternal, recapturing a lot of what made Doom 2016 good, expanding on it by adding some new monsters, a lot of unique boss battles, and an actual story.

    There's a lot that Doom Eternal got right, and a fair bit it didn't.
    I for one like the puzzle areas and the exploring to find all the secrets. I know a few people find the puzzles weak, but I made my peace with them, they're not particularly challenging and break up the combat. I also like a lot of the new enemies, however the Marauders are just painfull, you can only attack at one point in time, and only once or twice if you're fast enough. As a boss they'd be challenging enough, but chucked in with dozens of other enemies is just unfair. I like the grappling hook, the vertical climbing, flamethrower, the new and improved plasma rifle.
    Also this iteration of Doom has added inventory management, which to a degree is fine, but even with cycling through all weapons and being resourceful, there are a number of times I ran out of ammo entirely, and was stuck right at the end of massive combat encounters.
    Some of the boss fights are just masochistic, I'm not sure why they're so much harder than the game itself but fortunately they do give you an option to replay with "Sentinel Armor" which buffs you up a lot, but the bosses are still challenging.

    I really hope for the next Doom, they tone down the inventory management, running out of ammo so often in a Doom game seems wrong.    … Expand

You do keep your upgrades from previous playthroughs and continue to upgrade them but, the single player gameplay doesnt change so all thats remains is to hunt for collectibles and complete mini challenges.

    Doom is all about the action, and it feels great here. It's fast paced, frantic, but always manageable thanks to the many tools at your disposal. There's some strategy required too, as exploiting the different demons weaknesses gives you an edge in combat. You've also got to manage your health, armour and ammo, and you've got ways to replenish all three. For example, if you're low on health, you glory kill a demon, which provides health drops. If you're low on ammo, you use the chainsaw, which provides ammo drops. This all helps to keep the combat engaging throughout the campaign.

    Although it plays quite similarly to Doom 2016, I think I enjoyed this sequel a bit more thanks to a couple of factors. I like the added mobility found in Doom Eternal through the new dash ability and the grapple hook on the super shotgun, both of which serve to make the movement both in combat and in general even more fun. I also felt there was more visual variety in the missions compared to Doom 2016, as you travel to a greater variety of destinations in this campaign which made for more memorable levels.

    Another way Doom Eternal differs is in its platforming sections which I personally enjoyed. They're a nice breather in between combat sections. Eternal also tries to develop the lore of the Doom Slayer but this is one aspect of the game I wasn't amazed by. It feels almost out of place in a game all about the action, and a lot of it is explained through codex entries. This is a Doom game, so stopping every time you find a page just to read some overwritten lore doesn't fit, at least in my opinion. More dedicated fans of the franchise might appreciate this but I wasn't all that interested.

    Although I enjoyed most of the game, some enemy encounters were quite frustrating. Marauders, despite having a very cool design, can be annoying to fight as they require you to slow down and divert all your attention to them, waiting for a cue that tells you you can damage them. You have to fight them a few too many times. It can also be a bit too easy to get stuck sandwiched between enemies and/or terrain in some fights which can lead to some frustrating deaths if you fail to escape.

    That said, I really enjoyed the final boss fight. It was tense, epic and provided just the right amount of challenge.

    Doom Eternal also has an asymmetrical multiplayer mode where one person plays as the
    Slayer fighting two player controlled demons. It's decent fun and its something different. There's not a whole lot of depth to it but it's worth playing a few matches.

    Overall, I really liked this game. It's got excellent combat, a great metal soundtrack, and some cool collectibles. It's not perfect though - some fights can be frustrating, the storyline/lore feels unnecessary, and during my playthrough I encountered a few bugs including a crash. The multiplayer mode isn't as compelling as the single player campaign either. Given all that though, this is still a damn cool shooter that consistently delivers high-octane thrills.    … Expand

If i had to rate Doom (2016), I'd give it an 8/10. It was an excellent game.

    The gameplay is frantic, fast and gives you a small heart attack from time to time. To my frustration, this entry uses much more 'environmental' obstacles. The very annoying tentacle monsters that are causing me to jump up, electrified floors and fire spitting buttholes in walls that damage the Doom marine, but not demons -_- great. Next to that, unless you commit to using a different weapon or ability every 5 seconds, you'll die very easily. Which frustrated me considering it undercuts the doom guy! Isn't this dude supposed to scare the **** out of all the demons? Instead he dies like a little **** way to easy.

    And that's what i don't understand. Doom 2016 gave you freedom to play as you wanted with any of the deadly guns you owned. Doom Eternal forces you to do this strange mixing of weapons, and if you don't want it... Screw you.

    Levels in Doom Eternal are more lineair than in Doom 2016, and i like it! For people who don't care about exploring in a fast paced FPS it is much more straightforward. This is definitely an improvement to me.

    The graphics of Eternal are great. It has a good soundtrack, and the enemy designs look good. However, the ones from the previous game looked much scarier. Eternal's enemies from time to time look more cartoonish. Apparently that is to match the first Doom game, although i don't understand why that is something good.

    The UI is overstuffed and too small in certain places. The Health and Armor gauges are clearly visible, but all the extra prompts for abilities are so small it is hard to see what's on them in the middle of a frantic fight. Id software gave a surprisingly large amount of options to customize the experience, but guess what they didn't add... A way to make the UI bigger!

    At first i considered the secrets you collect fun little ornaments. But once i collected a secret that was basically a Doom LP, i realized it was self-indulgent crap. Even the developers weren't shy about the fact that they are just ripping of a way older game. Is this supposed to subconsciously make me want to buy the Soundtrack?? So dumb.

    Doom Eternal is definitely not a bad game. It functions properly, and there is true entertainment in it once you get the hang of it. But i feel like Doom 2016 worked better with the choice of how you want to play, and with a story that doesn't try to build too much lore. More is not necessarily better! Doom Eternal is like an overstuffed goody back, and Id software forgot what they went to the store for. I give it a 7/10. It is a good game.    … Expand

    Didn't like doom 2016, returned it. Tried doom eternal and it was ok but its a waste of my time. Ill never buy anymore doom games. The original doom on PC back in the day was best

    Just finished the game and tried multiplayer a couple of times.

    The good: - Plenty of SP gameplay. - Straight up shooter. It's just what it wants to be. - Cool comm speaker announcements and cinematics. - Boss fights. - Difficulties. It is devastating on harder levels. - New mechanics that were brought in to play to change gameplay. Flame belch for armour, chainshaw for ammo +    Just finished the game and tried multiplayer a couple of times.

    - Difficulties. It is devastating on harder levels.
    - New mechanics that were brought in to play to change gameplay. Flame belch for armour, chainshaw for ammo + glory kill for health-

    Did not bother THAT much but... why..
    - Platforming is kind of stupid here and there.
    - Soundtrack is lame and takes away the atmosphere of rip and tear. All the good songs are collectibles that you can listen to mid missions in your base.
    - Where are some new weapons...?
    - Graphics update would have been nice.
    - Too little boss fights.
    - Too few glory kill animations and almost all of them by stabbing the demon with the hand blade. It loses its touch after a few hours.

    Bad:
    - Multiplayer is just boring. I mean there is none... Why abandon the doom 2016 deathmatch gameplay and put a 2 demon vs 1 slayer instead? It would have been a ok mod but come on... It can't be the only one.
    - Cycling through Map and finding secrets feels like a chore.
    - Getting the Unmaykr after all the slayer gates was a dissapointment.... what the hell. BFG FTW.
    - Arcade style gameplay feels repetitive. There are multiple arenas in each map that you have to go through. All has the same formula. Demons spawn for about 2-5 minutes from low to high level and then you can proceed. There are some platforming and collectibles between arenas. All that you can see in the map when close.

    All in all I managed the game all the way through and did not want to rip and tear myself to pieces. So it's an ok game? Not as good as the previous Doom but what can you do. Multiplayer is pointless btw.    … Expand

    This game is entertaining but it’s not even close to doom 2016. The mix of quake and doom elements doesn’t work. The stupid jumping and Mario bros fire balls doesn’t really work.. The game playing is not flying - they have added too many monsters and there are too many deaths. Too often you are stuck in a wall etc when the room is filled with demons.

Give me doom 4 or a new quake - and please rehire the old heroes. What is good: when it does work all the killing is pretty fun. They added a lost souls kind of monster which is difficult to beat at first - and require some planning and practice. The balance between the flame thrower, chain saw and glory kills works. What made lost souls a good game is not just that it was difficult... and please .. this jumping stuff is just annoying- the Mario Safire balls are oxy moron… Expand

    A good shooter, but worse than the first part of 2016. It is sad that when playing a shooter you can’t play enough, a generally dubious solution to the restriction of ammunition. But it's still worth playing.

    Я как то писал про игру Doom 2016 и поражался как разработчики смогли создать такую увлекательную игру основанную буквально на одном геймплее, в которой практически отсутствовал сюжет. При том это было сделано без Кармака. Тогда я ещё сказал, что бы Doom Eternal стал лучше, разработчикам надо сотворить чудо. И........... На мой взгляд это им не удалось!

    Первую часть я буквально пролетел за пару заходов. А Doom Eternal проходил....6 месяцев. И даже не знаю в чем дело. Наверное в том, что игра на 99% вторична. Играть в неё сейчас просто скучно.
    Но всё по порядку. Начну с того, что игра выглядит, ощущается как оригинал четырехлетней давности. Да добавили пушку на плечо и кошку к супер обрезу, но пушка полное говно (я думал, что будет как у хищника, но нет), стреляет чёрти как, пока сдетонируют гранаты монстры разбегутся, эффективна может быть против тихоходных тварей, есть ещё огонь, но он нужен только для выбивания брони. При том она перезаряжается секунд 60. А крюк-кошка нужна только в определенных местах, подтягиваться к врагам смысла нет так как через 0.1 секунды враг сам прибежит к тебе.
    Ещё разработчики усложнили геймплей. Монстры стали сильней и жирней, и даже на лёгком уровне они более упругие чем в Doom 2016 на среднем.
    Тем более к концу игры авторы практически перестали выдавать боеприпасы на аренах, а взрывные бочки из которых можно их выбить исчезают где то после 8ой миссии. Так что пополнить боезапас можно только бензопилой, а её ещё зарядить надо. Поэтому после той же восьмой миссии иногда просто приходилось самоубиваться об какого нибуть импа, так как остаётся только удар рукой, а он в этой игре бесполезен опять таки если не заряжен.
    Да, появиляется супер меч, но заряды для него тоже очень ограничины и вместо кровавого экстаза на экране получается тоска. Зарядов то нет!
    Может кому-то мазохизм на экране нравится, мне нет. Я хочу веселиться, а меня заставляют страдать. В Doom я чувствовал себя суперменом, а в Doom Eternal Фродо Бэггинсом который должен всю игру бегать от врагов. Может игра рассчитана на кооп? Тогда можно было бы объяснть сложность, но это не так. Авторы просто сделали врагов более жирными и сильными.
    Как по мне чуда из игры не вышло.
    Нам обещали сногсшибающую графику, переработанный геймплей, крепкий сюжет. На PS4 графика точно та же, что и в 2016м, как я говорил геймплей почти не изменился, по мне так стал даже хуже, сюжет.....м даа.
    Поиграв в игру час я просто не хотел в неё возвращаться. И так в течение полугода. Да игру прошел, так как купил цифровую версию иначе продал бы, но это не доставило мне удовольствия. Жаль!    … Expand

    My biggest complaint at the moment (while I'm still slogging my way through the campaign with occasional frustration) is that there are very clearly platforms I should be able to land on to reach hidden areas that the developers just block off with invisible walls. Like... I get you intended for me to go a different way, but you could've just planned your levels so that it doesn't have so many misleading jumps; I shouldn't be pretty sure I figured something out, only for an invisible wall to reject me into a pit... more than once in a level, I might add. I could stand on a moving platform that I would assume sends me to a secret when I cause it to change direction... Instead I get reloaded on the ground floor. I could try jumping towards some very clear horizontal swing jumps... It counts me as out-of-bounds mid-jump and damages me. For a game that's part platformer, I don't think that aspect really holds up on it's own.

    As someone highly invested in level design, it seems kind of lazy to keep blocking off areas I should otherwise be able to reach if the platforms were just rendered to match their physical appearance. There is such a thing as a natural flow to a level, and the developers seem to rely way too heavily on just putting up walls and boundaries in places to keep forcing level designs to work. The Doom game from 2016 had impressive maps where I really had to think out my route in order to come across secrets; Applying that level of care to this game often makes me feel like I'm overthinking and wasting time. It kind of feels like they're just putting me in a playground with a coat of hellish paint over it. I mean, it works to an extent; It's just not the most immersive Doom game I've played.

    While the level design isn't awful as a whole, it can be a bit disappointing that a lot of the most visually pleasing aspects of levels are areas you probably won't ever reach or interact with, whereas the maps consist of a lot of deathmatch-type areas connected by platforming that comes off as somewhat rigid due to the detection of the environment. Overall, this contrast of gameplay dynamics seems a bit less fluent than in the last game, with the closed off rooms getting repetitive kind of early.

    Overall, Doom (2016) was slightly better. This is still worth getting if you played that game and want another, though. Not particularly disappointing, but not really groundbreaking, either. Kind of just more of the same, but at least they didn't mess up a working formula.    … Expand

    Was great, but felt way too short. There was a deeper sense of exploration in the first one that was great. I don't know, maybe the pacing was off. Something didn't feel as good as the first. Maybe in my old age I'm getting tired of games trying to enchant by throwing everything at you. It just gets boring after awhile, but you do end up wanting to come back.

    One thing that Doom 2016 absolutely nailed was that you are Doom Guy, you’re there to kill, and nothing else matters. All other details, including atmosphere, lighting and music, came together in harmony to truly bring Doom back, and establish it as a modern day masterpiece.

    Unfortunately for Doom Eternal, nearly every aspect of this has been scaled back in quality. Immediately we are immersed into a story driven narrative that nobody asked for or wanted. Weapons have been balanced dramatically altering their effectiveness, and ammo is now much more scarce in an effort to make the game feel more strategic. Pacing is out the window, as most of your abilities and upgrades are provided immediately. The music is a huge letdown, due to the failed attempts of Mick Gordon to execute his deadlines on time. The whole game is now very platform based and arcade like.

    While still a respectable shooter with lots of good things going for it, this is not the Doom series that re-emerged this generation.    … Expand

    I sadly despise this game's approach to art direction and music. I know this is just really something that comes down to personal preference but this game just has this really edgelord/listening to dad rock/ iron maiden cover vibe. It just really irritates me and feels like you are moving around in a world of heavy metal kitsch. Since the story is non-existent that is also not really a reason to move forward.
    The shooting mechanics are good but there is a over reliance on switching weapons for a specific enemy that just feels really clunky. There is nothing fun about just looking at the weapon weel and deciding what you should do next when you are already so disinterested. The game's difficulty is relying on the fact that some enemies are weaker to certain ammo types and whenever you switch your weapon the momentum of the action just stops.

    Whoever thought it was a good idea to have platforming sections in a first person shooter should seek medical attention by the way.

    I know that those reasons for me to dislike it are the same reasons why a lot of people love it. All I can say is watch a trailer and listen to some of the soundtrack and see if it clicks for you. I am now playing Returnal and that game is basically the game I wanted this to be.

    My gut told me to not buy this game but it is hold in such high regard I gave it a chance. Sadly I did not really enjoy this at all. It's gunplay still feels solid though and movement feels pretty fluent (although I really think that a game that is so reliant on movement should be third person, definitely not first person)    … Expand

This game is not really about thinking as much as reacting. Just get your adrenaline pumping and get ready for shooty gory goodness.

    Personally, I preferred the other modern Doom title over this one, as the flaws I perceive here weren't flaws in the other game. The closed off gauntlet-style portions are both good and bad; Being locked into an area that randomly feels like a deathmatch map sectioned off can make the intensity more personal, but it also makes the level lay-outs seem either formulaic or simplistic. Kind of comes off like being in a hellish playground. If that's what you want, then this game is absolutely for you.    … Expand

    This feels like a childs game in comparison to Doom 2016.
    It feels rushed, arcadey, and buggy. its missing the dark tone of the previous game
    In favor of dude bro culture. it stinks, and the devs cannot smell it.

    Great gunplay, controls, and combat. but terrible parkour and multiplayer
    The snap map from 2016 was more interesting.
