    Probably the most fun single player fps campaign out there right now.
    Quick switching and mastering weapon combos and tactics makes the game immensely replayable and in-depth.

    One of if not my favourite game of all time, the replayable value is amazing and for a single player game within a week I gathered a hundred hours on it trying to complete it in ultra nightmare no criticism of it other than the multiplayer which is quiet bland but other than that it is worth buying.

    Full Thoughts:
    Doom Eternal is the best feeling and designed first person shooter that I have probably ever played. The combat has immense depth to it while maintaining the simplicity of move and shoot. The combat of the game has taken everything about what made Doom 2016 a fantastic game and ramped it up to 11. No longer do you simply sprint around the battlefield and arbitrarily shoot demons until they die but not each weapon has a unique purpose in efficiently dealing with a specific demon. Id has turned the fast paced action and turned it into a unique puzzle that you most likely wont find in another game. The game has so much depth and fantastic replayability. The multiplayer isnt fantastic but is a fun unique arena shooter experience in its own right. I have completed the base game with defeating all 6 slayer gates and completed both DLC's. I have gotten nothing but euphoria from this game and each challenge is difficult and thrilling.

    What Holds the Game Back:
    This is not a casual game at all. If you are looking for something that you can sit back and not really pay attention to this game is not for you. Additionally, the game is very unforgiving on its difficulty you will not complete this game without putting a good amount of focus and effort into. You have to learn the combat systems and learn how to move, shoot, and glorykill very efficiently.

    Closing Remarks:
    A perfect score does not mean a perfect game. My scoring of a 10/10 reflects that this game is the shining gold standard of its genre. In the future I will compare almost every shooter I play to Doom Eternal. This game sets the bar high for what can be achieved in first person shooters in our day and age and I'm very excited for what Id will cook up now that they are finished with the story of the slayer.    … Expand

    I hear a lot of people call Doom Eternal inflexible, and I don't think that's very fair or accurate, how flexible it is really depends on your pride and your ability to utilize the options that are laid out before you.

    The first time I played through Doom Eternal, I picked Ultra Violence because I thought "yeah I've played Doom before and that's the best Doom difficulty". I also turned    I hear a lot of people call Doom Eternal inflexible, and I don't think that's very fair or accurate, how flexible it is really depends on your pride and your ability to utilize the options that are laid out before you.

    The first time I played through Doom Eternal, I picked Ultra Violence because I thought "yeah I've played Doom before and that's the best Doom difficulty". I also turned off tutorials because from a YouTube review I heard they were frequent and annoying, and I had played so many id software games in the past I was confident in my ability to just pick it up and play it.

    I eventually turned the tutorials back on when I got my ass kicked by the Arachnotron for the 5th time without realizing the turret was a weak point. I didn't wanna miss out on any info like that again, and while I'd say my experience with the game was decently fun after that, I still felt like I was missing something, and like the game wasn't clicking with me.

    I liked the over the top story and bombastic level design that was much more dynamic and varied than Doom 2016, but in terms of combat I always felt like I was a few steps out of pace with Doom Eternal on my first playthrough.

    I think this is mostly due to the fact that the Ultra Violence difficulty is rather unforgiving, and that's not a bad thing, it's just rather demoralizing for beginners at the game who need to learn the mechanics. It's hard to learn those mechanics when you're constantly on edge and constantly at risk of dying due to the fact one wrong move can entirely throw you off, and considering Ultra Violence is most people's go to Doom difficulty I can see how so many people tried it and were instantly turned off, thinking there was something wrong with the game.

    Personally, my biggest problem was I found myself using a lot of the same abilities and weapons to do everything. Everytime I saw a weak point I'd use the heavy cannon scope and only the heavy cannon scope to take it out, never using the sticky bombs, heat blast, ballista, etc.

    I wouldn't use a lot of the new abilities like the blood punch, ice bombs, grenades, etc. It was too overwhelming to think about in the middle of the incredibly heated battles. The things is Doom Eternal is flexible enough to let you play it this way, you can beat it but it's not very fun to do so. But still, I managed to struggle through the game on my first playthrough, constantly on edge and never learning anything, by the time I beat it, I was glad I had but I didn't feel very accomplished. In fact I felt kind of demoralized.

    I leaned later that my greatest mistake was never lowering the difficulty and giving myself more room to breathe. When I finally played the game again a year later, I finally chose Hurt Me Plenty on the difficulty settings because my pride in playing that difficulty had definitely been shattered by that point and I just didn't give a ♥♥♥♥ anymore, wasn't like anyone could see me.

    The thing is Hurt Me Plenty in classic Doom was pitiful, there were way less enemies making levels feel rather empty which leads to it generally being shunned across all Doom game's by the community, but what a lot of people don't know is Hurt Me Plenty in Doom Eternal is just a normal difficulty in any other game, it's the exact same enemy count and placements, just with less damage output and a little bit less punishment for not reacting fast enough.

    When I finally chose HMP, I finally had that room to breathe and it allowed me to get more creative with my playstyle, and just like that the game finally clicked with me. I started using Doomguy's entire arsenal, and learned how to utilize Doom Eternal's mechanics in satisfying ways that made me feel smart for figuring them out, it fully immersed me in it's combat puzzle.

    When I came back to the Ultra Violence difficulty, despite playing on an easier difficulty earlier, I had learned enough from that more easygoing mode that I was finally good at the game, and I managed to beat it in one go in Extra Lives mode, and while it was no Ultra Nightmare playthrough, it's one of the most satisfying experiences I've had in a video game.

    So my recommendation to new players is turn that difficulty down, use those cheat codes, do anything that makes the experience more fun and easygoing and your playstyle will begin to show itself naturally, don't force yourself to go in hard due to pride, this is a very different game than any FPS out there and you just gotta have fun with it. When you do that and fully utilize the options it gives you to tweak the game to your experience, it's not only not inflexible, it's one of the most flexible and fun experiences you can have with an FPS game. id Software knocked it out of the park. As I type this I am currently playing through my first Nightmare playthrough and I can officially say I'm addicted now.    … Expand

    Doom is a fast FPS shooter where you can enjoy the feeling of killing demons. It will make your hart pump. Most of the time you are running from a hord of demons while shooting at others simultaneously. You have to learn all the weak points of the demons if you want to beat the levels on higher difficulty.

Weak points, flame belch, ice bomb, grenades, blood punch, all the weapons and mods; it all combines into a chaotic whirlwind of enjoyment, especially when you actually get good at the game. That's not to mention the wide variety of demons, each with their own quirks that spice up the gameplay in their own way, and each having specific things to target in order to take them out faster, which further encourages getting even more in-depth with the game's systems. Even the platforming adds to the experience: teaching you how to better use movement during combat while at the same time giving you a nice break between arenas. This is a big change from 2016, where you simply walked between areas, taking an elevator here and there, and it's a change I greatly welcome.… Expand

    Doom Eternal is an actively fun game, that allows for lots of enjoyment, and lots of Demon slaying.

    Absolutely love this game, very much up my alley.
    Currently playing through the DLC and getting my butt kicked.

    The full experience is worth playing, and multiple game modes encourage replaying the campaign in different ways.

    You know how people tell you to "GIT GUD" when you're struggling with games? This game teaches to you GIT GUD rather quickly. A violent, gore-filled love letter to FPS gamers everywhere, DOOM Eternal will have you reinstalling it months later to relive the glory kills, chainsaw more Imps, and BFG your way to hell (and heaven) and back.

    This is the best dang DOOM you are going to find. The combat whips ass, and so does everything else. The lore is enormously stupid but in the way that the liner notes to a prog metal album are enormously stupid, which is to say it fun and rules. If this game were a person I would marry them immediately.

    Worthy sequel to Doom 2016. Improves on just about everything that made the first game great, but the added complexity causes some issues.

    There is a bit of a disconnect between the speed of the game and how many options you have at any given point, especially as the game progresses. You have so many tools at your disposal, and so many resources to manage that it can slow you down. This    Worthy sequel to Doom 2016.
