    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Doom Eternal, developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks, is the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed 2016 reboot, Doom. This first-person shooter game takes players on a relentless, adrenaline-fueled adventure, offering an arsenal of weapons, ferocious enemies, and visually stunning environments. In this detailed review, we will explore the key aspects that make Doom Eternal a standout title in the FPS genre.

    Gameplay:
    Doom Eternal boasts a remarkably fast-paced and engaging gameplay experience. From the very beginning, players find themselves immersed in intense combat scenarios with hordes of demons. The game strikes the perfect balance between skill-based shooting and strategic movement, requiring players to constantly be on their toes. You will be flipping, dashing, and vaulting over obstacles while dispatching enemies using an extensive arsenal of weapons.

    The combat mechanics in Doom Eternal are refined and satisfying. Each weapon has a distinct purpose and is upgradeable, allowing players to customize their playstyle. Additionally, the new "Flame Belch" and "Chainsaw" mechanics give combat a strategic edge by encouraging resource management and providing health and ammo rewards.

    Level Design:
    One of the standout features of Doom Eternal is its level design. Each level is meticulously crafted, showcasing a creative blend of architecture, atmospheric lighting, and a diversity of locales. From the fiery depths of Hell to the decaying ruins of Earth, every environment feels unique and offers a sense of wonder. The attention to detail is outstanding, and exploration is generously rewarded with hidden secrets and upgrades.

    Moreover, Doom Eternal introduces new platforming elements that seamlessly integrate into the gameplay. These sections provide a refreshing change of pace, requiring players to solve puzzles and navigate through challenging jumps and obstacles. The platforming, combined with the robust combat and level design, creates a truly immersive and varied experience.

    Story and Atmosphere:
    Doom Eternal packs a surprisingly strong narrative that delves deeper into the lore of the Doom universe. Players assume the role of the Doom Slayer, a legendary warrior in a relentless battle against the forces of Hell. The game unravels an engaging storyline through cutscenes and environmental storytelling, leaving players hungry for more as they progress through the campaign.

    The game's atmosphere is superbly executed, striking a deft balance between horror and action. The dark, foreboding environments are complemented by an intense and dynamic musical score that perfectly enhances the gameplay experience.

    Multiplayer and Replayability:
    Doom Eternal offers a variety of multiplayer options, including Battlemode, a 2v1 asymmetric multiplayer mode that pits one player as the Doom Slayer against two others controlling demons. Battlemode is a fresh and unique take on multiplayer, promoting teamwork, strategy, and skillful execution.

    The game also provides ample replayability, thanks to its challenging difficulty levels and hidden collectibles. Upon completing the campaign, players can replay missions, striving for faster times and higher scores. The inclusion of New Game Plus mode allows players to carry over their unlocked abilities and weapons, adding an extra layer of depth.

    Conclusion:
    Doom Eternal is a tour de force in the FPS genre, delivering a heart-pounding and exhilarating experience. With its refined gameplay mechanics, breathtaking level design, compelling story, and engaging multiplayer options, the game satisfies both the hardcore and casual gamers alike. Whether you are a long-time fan of the series or new to the franchise, Doom Eternal is an absolute must-play for anyone seeking an adrenaline-fueled shooter that pushes the boundaries of action gaming.

    Technically this game is solid as the Hell's gates and on PS5 is really a pleasure to play, with the last patch you can choose now between ray tracing or 4K resolution , frame rate is always stable no matter how many rockets, demon limbs and explosions are shown.

    The campaign has the perfect duration and takes you through levels with a completely different atmosphere, medieval inspired ,alien, hellish, etc. while blowing up the classical doom demons and some few new ones. The difficult level is really well adjusted and every one apart from the easiest is challenging and rewarding.
    The structure of the game is basically the same as with the Doom 2016, traversing an intricate level with arenas full with demons while searching for collectibles/upgrades.
    Eternal has filled up the space between arenas with platforming sections to break the monotony and they are interesting but I personally disliked them because for me they did not fit the ambience well and were just places to potentially lost a live or get your armour/health reduced before the next arena.

    Due to my personal taste this game is a step below 2016 because I liked the tone, music, demon design and atmosphere there more, closer to the horrific Doom3. Eternal has more Doom2/Quake3 vibes with a more vivid colour palette. Also some new demons like the Marauders are interesting to fight the first 3 times you cross them, but the 14th time they are just annoying and break the combat flow.

    Nevertheless is an excellent boomer shooter that you should not let pass.

    P.D: It's a pity that due MS consolidation and the buy of Zenimax I will not be able to play future titles of the saga :(    … Expand

    Doom eternal is really good game. Every monster type have different weak points so you are not only pressing the fire button all time. You need to be mobile and alive in every second. Maps are really cool in this game. Some bosses are coming as a normal enemy later of the game. and last boss vas very boring.

    Doom Eternal is very great. This is the first fast paced fps game I've played and this is a very good starting point.

When the game slowed down I was awestruck by the detail on the environments, and it was electrifying was watching the body parts and guts of demons pour out of them. The only problems with it is that I needed to create a Bethesda account without even playing the multiplayer and the couple of audio and visual glitches. Also this might just be a me thing but I played on Ultra Violence and there were some levels that felt unfair but again, that might just be a me thing. Anyway, Doom Eternal is a great game that I completely recommend.… Expand

    In a genre which is degrading as the years go by doom eternal sets new standards of what it means to be a FPS shooter. Every bullet fired needs to be planned and hold meaning. I have no words to explain how fun and unique this game, just f***ing buy play it already.

    Doom Eternal is arguably the best entry in the series. It amps up the speed and difficulty of its 2016 predecessor while adding platforming sections. The game also has an emphasis on backstory in the form of scattered text entries. Ultimately, it's a rift on the Halo tale, but instead of the Covenant taking over planets, its demons.

Ultimately, it's a rift on the Halo tale, but instead of the Covenant taking over planets, its demons. Due to the platforming and exploration aspects, Eternal feels more like an action-adventure than an old-school FPS. While there are plenty of intense run 'n gun encounters, the pace is slowed down by puzzle platforming. You must figure out how to get to a certain section before using your acquired abilities to do so. This element is bound to be quite divisive to Doom purists. Especially since they can become quite annoying. But like the previous game, you'll find all sorts of hidden upgrades. You'll also discover secret areas, timed challenges and horde challenges. Online multiplayer is no longer composed of Team Deathmatches, but is now a 2-vs-1 survival mode: two soldiers battle one demon for match wins. It's worth playing a few times, but the single player mode is the main thing. There's even Live Events that connect with the campaign. Overall, this is a worthy addition to the series. Even if it is too tough at times. I would rate this with a 9 out of 10.… Expand

What it does the best is giving you a plethora of guns and making each and every one of them optimal for one or two uses, meaning to stay alive while dozens of demons are chasing you, quick, clever, decisions have to be made constantly about which gun and attachment to use. Jumping and dashing around the well crafted arenas at high pace and murdering demons feeds into a great sense of power, but the platforming in between fight sections is a bit of a bore. There is a very high skill ceiling for this game, so for those who are good at shooters can stick around and have a lot of fun getting better, and eventually mastering the Nightmare difficulty. My biggest gripe with this game is definitely ammo, of which there is rarely enough of in harder difficulties, and with no auto regeneration, you're going to have to be very good at conserving it.… Expand

Here, the gameplay is elevated to near insanity with constant movement and strategic foresight becoming a necessity in nearly every demonic engagement. My most memorable moment is battling a demonic titan with scores of demons hounding my every move. The demons in Doom have one mission, killing the Doom Slayer. The A.I. is relentless and the action feels hectic and blood pounding. One must use every tool at their disposal to survive and doing so feels rewarding. The gunplay combo system developed for Doom Eternal is excellent. Every weapon has a place, and some are more effective in taking out certain demons. Most demons have specific weaknesses that can be exploited to gain the upper hand in chaotic battles. The dash and climbing/swinging vertical movement abilities are also great and feel necessary. The Doom Slayer can hook shot into a dangerous demon, shoot, double dash out, and double jump up to avoid an otherwise devastating counterattack. The game's levels are massive and gorgeous. Each level contains cinematic set pieces like corpses of massive demons or otherworldly castles and vistas. Further, each level contains challenges like superb slayer gates (a subzone full of demons to slaughter), or purple combat zones (timed kill demon challenges), or hidden secrets, and upgrades. These make the levels even more fun by adding depth in level exploration. Secret hunting is aided by a fantastic map layout that is readable and easy to use. Another great addition is the ability to teleport to any level subzone once one has neared the end of a level. I often cleared an entire level and would teleport around picking up any secrets I missed or fighting any demons I accidently spared. Doom Eternal is riddled with multiple systems that are not overly complex but a bit overwhelming initially. The Doom Slayer can burn enemies to gain armor, chainsaw them to gain ammo, and glory kill (activate a cinematic kill when a demon is close to death) to gain health. The Doom Slayer is allowed one of two mods per weapon unlocking unique firing modes. These mods are found off little robots in the game’s levels. Each mod can be upgraded through arsenal points obtained through clearing demons in levels. The Slayer’s armor can be upgraded with tokens found throughout levels. The Slayer’s health, ammo count, and armor can be upgraded by finding crystals hidden in different levels. The Doom Slayer can equip three runes that provide different perks such as faster glory kills or more control while airborne. The Doom Slayer is also equipped with ice, explosive grenades, and later a crucible blade that can slice through demons. The Doom Slayer also has a massive ship called the Citadel of Doom. Power nodes collected in levels can power up the ship allowing the Doom Slayer access to mod upgrades, armor tokens, and crystals. Initially, I thought these systems felt unnecessary and detracted from the fun gameplay, but in the end every system provides a helpful benefit that was not overly complicated to employ. The game's narrative is not the most interesting thing in the world but honestly it does not matter when the gameplay is so engrossing. Doom Eternal is chaos, blood, and awesome rolled into a first-person shooter.… Expand

    The gameplay is where DOOM Eternal truly shines; it's extremely smooth, running at 60 fps even on consoles, it's fast-paced and very diverse, from the wide variety of weapons to the resource management. It gets a bit frustrating at times but once you understand how everything works, it plays like a dream and it's undoubtedly one of the highlights of the game.
    Another highlight of the game is the music; it feels like it's part of the gameplay, and it's awesome!
    Also, the graphics and the audio design are amazing too.
    Despite being a solid FPS game though, DOOM Eternal features platforming elements, however, they're not executed well; there's too much unnecessary platforming.

    Pros:
    + Exciting, fluid & challenging gameplay
    + Fantastic music
    + Beautiful visuals

    Cons:
    - Very weak narrative
    - Excessive amount of platforming

    Narrative: 1/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Content: ?/10
    Music: 9/10
    Graphics/Audio: 9/10

    Final Rating: 8/10
    - Great -
    DOOM Eternal might look like a typical FPS game but the fast flow of the combat and the resource management make it a one-of-a-kind FPS experience.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Yes, unless you don't enjoy playing FPS games.    … Expand

Every demon has a weakpoint , that one weapon or weapon mod is extremely good against. This not only makes the gameplay smooth , it brings a whole new layer on the simple run and gun stuff like we already know.
    + The art style is incredible
    + The music is incredible
    + Literally no bugs in my entire playthrough
    + So many levels, each bringing new demons and mechanics in such a nice paced way.
    + The multiplayer mode is fun and while it's not deep it brings enough originality to stand on it's own.
    + Have i already said how smooth the speed of this game is?
    + challenging difficulty that feels rewarding
    negatives
    - Not enough boss battles

    One of the best fps games of all time, and possibly the smoothest gameplay in a game to date. No game has nailed their combat so well like this game does.

That’s all the story is really without spoilers this is a masterpiece of a game and it’s so fast than the predecessor. You have a dash and if you don’t utilize that dash and chainsaw then your dead because you run out of ammo so fast that it’s not funny because unlike 2016 there are so many enemies on one screen at a time there can be a Baron of Hell, a Mancubus, and like 5 other strong demons at one time. Then I was so close to rage quitting so many times because of one demon there Marauder when you first fight this guy you are still starting out and he so much different then the others because you can’t be too close to him or you get shot by his shotgun but you can’t be too far away or he throws a axe projectile you have to stay in the sweet spot of him and wait until his eyes glow to shoot him yeah you can’t shoot him regular he blocks your bullets. But other than that it’s just bullet dancing and that helps with the music oh my god the music I stoped after I died sometimes just to listen to the music it brings so much energy just to a regular fight and I love it. Overall DOOM Eternal is a amazing follow up to the 2016 reboot it’s definitely worth getting a full price buy this game now or watch the play through on the YouTube channel.… Expand

    This game is absolutely brilliant as a new doom fan myself only getting into the franchise in 2016 this game is an improvement to a masterpiece improving in music design, level design and replay ability. After going back and playing the main doom releases (we don't talk about doom 3) This game is a love letter to all doom fans no matter when you joined the fandom. Not interested in the story? You can skip almost every cut scene want more read the codex still not satisfied purchase the DLC's game to easy? Play ancient gods part 1 ultra-nightmare is stupidly difficult but good fun and amazing challenge finding the game too difficult? Ancient gods part 2 or play on an easy difficulty then move up per play through it sounds annoying but it is rewarding and great fun. This game is an action paced love letter and masterpiece one of my favourite games of all time fun i could keep going all day. Great purchase i would snatch this game up whenever possible it is on sale a lot if you are a bit strapped for cash but the replay ability you will get all of the money you spent back and more in entertainment. A personal flaw i have with the game is the sludge in any mission it shows up in as it just slows the game down and another flaw i have is that the game never leaves my mind i am always thinking about ways to improve and if you die 99% of the time it is your fault and you can learn something from each death and it is a great laugh to watch my friends who recently picked up the game fail and get frustrated.    … Expand

    Doom Eternal has improved on so much that made Doom (2016) special but is starkly different as well. I've heard it said that once you play through Eternal, you can't go back to its predecessor. And after two play-throughs, the DLC, receiving the platinum trophy, and with as much adoration I have for Doom (2016), I hate to say I agree, to a degree.

    Doom Eternal is faster by every measure    Doom Eternal has improved on so much that made Doom (2016) special but is starkly different as well. I've heard it said that once you play through Eternal, you can't go back to its predecessor. And after two play-throughs, the DLC, receiving the platinum trophy, and with as much adoration I have for Doom (2016), I hate to say I agree, to a degree.

    Doom Eternal is faster by every measure of the word. More demons necessitate more mechanics to move around each arena. The additions of dashing and the meat hook are two new ways to escape, or pursue, your enemies. Dashing allows you to escape a tight spot or bash opponents while the meat hook can be used to quickly reel into a fleeing enemy or swing yourself into the air like a pernicious pendulum. These tools, once mastered with the rest of the mostly-familiar weapon wheel, allow you to become a greater and more effective deliverer of destruction than in Doom (2016).

    However, with an enhanced arsenal, Doom Eternal meets your power with greater demons and more difficult scenarios. New additions like the pain elemental, prowler, carcass, and more offer new challenges in discovering their weaknesses and exploiting them when faced with near-overwhelming forces. One of the various skills needed to excel in Eternal is learning which enemies are a priority to kill because if left alive they will make managing the forces of hell even more of a nightmare.

    It's this core mechanic of receiving a new tool, meeting a new challenge, and learning how to use it to your advantage, that makes Doom Eternal so much fun. Towards the latter half of the campaign, this cycle tapers off and culminates by letting you loose on the forces of hell to test how well you can play.

    For all the game excels at, it seems the developers focused so heavily on how it plays, not in vain by any stretch, but they neglected some other aspects which, in my opinion, made Doom (2016) so special. I love lore: anything to get me immersed in a game. Doom Eternal very much so expands on that, but almost to a fault. If you read my Doom (2016) review, the Doom Slayer's penchant to ignore the "would you kindly" archetypal voice is such a fun and freeing experience. It's a type of immersive humor that fits with the unknown that is the Doom Slayer. In Eternal, however, the slayer's character comes off nearly neutered. He follows orders, is more sparing, and not enough computers are smashed for hampering his wrath. His visor, to say the least, has been internally illuminated in cut scenes to reveal the face of a man behind the praetor suit that once felt immortal and mysterious. What seems like small changes serves to diminish the power felt when driving the main character. In addition, the environments and demon models in Doom (2016) felt more grounded in a dark reality than the more cartoonish ghouls of Eternal. I preferred the grotesque post-humanoid appearance of the mancubus in its predecessor to the more toned-down, less revolting model in this installment. The role that Dr. Samuel Hayden played in the first of the reboot dilogy is also severely less impactful in the second.

    For the immersive lackings that the game holds, the gameplay more than makes up for it. There isn't much time in between fights to think on much else than how to survive. Doom Eternal is a frenzied orchestra of weapons, enemies, and gore with a core gameplay mechanic that encourages quick-thinking, tactics, and skill.    … Expand

You’ll unconsciously start mastering the movement and the rotation between all of your weapons so that you feel more powerful as the game goes on.
