I was prayed to god for this game is over after the mission with 3 portals, but it did not so i just uninstalled this **** at the very end.

    Бедная Беседка уже не знает, как изъебнуться и чего бы ещё добавить в простой, по сути, шутер. Слишком пёстро и вырвиглазно. Слишком много свистелок-перделок, отвлекающих от непосредственно игрового процесса. Слишком перегружено различными механиками, из-за чего общий темп игры снижается. DOOM 2016 был намного бодрее и целостнее.Бедная Беседка уже не знает, как изъебнуться и чего бы ещё добавить в простой, по сути, шутер. Слишком пёстро и вырвиглазно.

    Doom Eternal is one of the best FPS games I've ever played. With subtle aim assist and a variety of mobility options that complement each other, it easily takes the top spot. The story takes a backseat for the most part and the gameplay is center stage, providing you an arsenal perfectly suited to slaying demons.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story: The story is kinda of generic but in depth for a Doom game. The lore is very rich and interesting, and you don’t need to read much of the codex unless you really care, there’s just a lot of inferring to go off of from some dialogue. The Doom slayer is just a mortal that was so angry that he somehow broke into the sentinels homeworld and won trails of combat to be indued with the powers of a god, and world his way into running an army against the demons in the unholy crusades to end in a truce where the demons get to feast on Earth so the Kahn Makyrs world survives, but doom guy isn’t having it as he is from earth. This is a very interesting backstory and setup to the events of this game after Dr. Hayden opens a gateway for them to go through, also the “Rip and Tear” dialog in the flashback scene was a nice reference. However, the game starting off with the Slayer just having a fortress, killing hell priests and having Vega was never explained, while the first game had little explanation to how you got there, that was fair as the game had no reason to explain it as there wasn’t much of a story, and as I was hoping this game would explain how you got to the tomb in the beginning of the first game, it doesn’t, which was a little disappointment. Dr. Hayden being reduced to an exposition dump was also a low point. How fires he know so mich? Why was he helping the humans? “How is he made of the same kind of parts or whatever that allows him to contact with the maykr-made fortress? Why didn’t he take over the fortress when Vega and the slayer were gone (which would’ve been cool)? Maybe I’m asking too many questions, but this game set up so much that it didn’t answer. All in all though, the story kept me playing and interested.

    Environment: Absolutely astonishing. The Fortress of Doom alone is a staple of how beautiful this game is. The attention to detail and countless references and easter eggs is breathtaking and shows how much care the developers put in for fans and new players. Being able to walk along a mechs laser sword to parlor inside a demon titans stomach is just as badass as it should be.

    Gameplay: This is the meaty stuff. While 2016 was simple and I very much enjoyed its simplicity, going into this game knowing about all the equipment I was skeptical about if it was all going to be overwhelming. While at the start it took some getting used to, as all things do, I quickly got the hang of it and felt like a literally god taking out the slayer gates at one go. The glory kill, flame blech, chainsaw, bloodpunch mechanices all worked in perfect harmony. The demons having specific weak points were also a welcome change, however by the end your amount of weapons and upgrades sorta make some of those meaningless. The only enemy I have a problem with, and some of you might as well, is marauders. Marauders themselves are not completely painful, I just end up wasting my chainsaw on fodder for ammo on them. The problem I have was the Taras Nabad secret encounter with one. It was so bad I had to cheese it since it’s almost impossible to kill one in 30 seconds. Other than that, the music combined with endless demon shredding with swords and big **** guns and quick movements is what I came here for.

    All in all 9.5/10 and easily the best shooter I’ve ever played

    This is not my Doom. Got this as a gift cause I had shown interest. With all the great reviews I was ready to jump back into gaming for the first time in 10 years. I played for about 30 mins between jumping to find my way, and constantly running out of ammo and fuel I give up. Doom to me was about shooting demons and having fun. This was nothing but frustrating.

    It improves over the first game in almost every way. The only thing from Doom 2016 I would leave are first person cutscenes (they are in Eternal too, but I think there should be only them). Gameplay is great and forces you to actually think and sometimes change your strategy (like in case of Maruder). As for the art style it's really a personal preference, i liked the 2016's a bit more,It improves over the first game in almost every way.

    I would've given this game 10/10, but... the punch! In the DOOM 2016 you was able to punch an enemy to death, and now your normal punch is not even able to stagger an average zombie! I understand, balancing issues and whatever, but doom slayer now feel like he is an anorexic that wouldn't be able to beat a baby. 9/10, punch is not going to be fixed...

I played on my FAT PS4, and I was very afraid of the game melt my console with it's graphics, but then I got a very well optimized game. The only thing that broke a little the pace for me was the fact that they always take off the controls to show where a door is open and where to go, and the fact that in some elevators you can't move nor change weapons, just look around; that is not a thing to put in a Doom game, but nothing that breaks the fabulous game id software gave to us. The multiplayer may looks a let let down, but is a great and fun experience too. I don't miss a deathmatch, sice I got Quake champions for my PC, but I really want QC for consoles, this way they can give a complete multiplayer experience for the fans. Finally I would like to thank id Software to give me this beast. Play it dudes, every way you want you to play. Expand

    The game is a downgrade from Doom 1 in so many regards. Most egregious? When the game crashes (and it crashes a lot) it starts you back at the START OF THE LEVEL. Because nothing says "fun" like fighting all the way through a level TWICE. You know whats better? When it crashes again and you have to replay it a third time. **** that. Uninstalled immediately. Garbage. "Bethesda: it just works"

    It took everything that doom 2016 introduced, made it bigger and better and introduced superb movement mechanics. Not only that, but it feels like a proper sequel, that doesn't pamper newbies like 2016 had to. This is what Quake was meant to be back in the 90s, a supreme followup to Doom.

    Doom Eternal (aka Doom 2 aka Doom 5) is the sequel to Doom 4 (2016) and it brings everything you like about the 2016 game and does it even better in every way possible.

    This game is a master piece . The moment you start the game you get filling of being a god. The glory kills are amazing ,the game play is fun and captivating , the weapons are massive and the sound track is as metal as it could be. I have played it for 141 hours and i am going to keep on playing it. Game of the year candidate

    Doom Eternal expands the formula to its climax and is today on the throne of the best fps of this generation.

    ++++

    - weapons are punchy
    - The fights are nervous, fast, impressive. We dance in rhythm in the midst of demons...
    - on the magnificent ost of Mike Gordon.
    - Good Level design (collectibles are cool, exploration is good, and the arenas are well designed)
    - Gameplay is incredible...
    - and the progression is very cool too. We feel more and more becoming a god of war.
    - The environments are sublime
    - the rhythm is cool with moments of intense fights and moments of platform to be able to breathe
    - Very correct lifetime for a game of this type
    - The challenge is well balanced
    - The bestiary is incredible more than 30 different demons: the bestiary has evolved since the last opus and it's excellent on that side
    ------

    - the tips on the middle on our screen that break the rythm (We wonder who reached the music...)
    - the last chapters can be a little less worked.
    - An unbalanced multiplayer

    Id Software gives new hope to the genre of fps that is choking and that is struggling to renew itself. This studio brings up to date the sub genre of fast fps which was the very origin of fps at the base: just one last word to say: Id proved to us that DOOM is ETERNAL

    Runs at 60 fps on ps4 so that is always worth high praise. Only downside is can be a bit tough on to play on the controller , as it feels like it has been designed with a keyboard and mouse in mind.

    Plus you get the option of hdr no matter what version of ps4 you have (base or pro). Multiplayer is lacking overall , dont see that mode having a long lifespan. There are Single player Dlc's Planned so that is always welcome

If you fall too much and die, the game needs to reload the same part it just reloaded 7 times, but now it takes 12 seconds to load. 2 v 1 online multiplayer that resets your progress arbitrarily is not worth trying. Hugo said you feel like a badass as the demon slayer. Not true, just a basic character who needs to collect crap to become awesome.

    - 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.

Maybe but not this much. 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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally, I really love this game. Enemies look like the old design from older doom titles are very good and I like the cartoonist but very gore. The game is a little easy but fair. Now the map in the campaign is very cool. I love the environment from hell on earth to Urdak, look very heavy metal. getting collectibles is very cool and upgrading predator suit can be very rewarding stuff like if you collect 14 cheat code and upgrade suit you get to play doom 1993.

    but anyway the gameplay is fantastic. I love the dash mechanic in this game. you can dash your way to dodge any demon attack and the weapons are very good. getting ammo and armor is pretty easy when you find them on the ground in the map or you can use the chainsaw to slash enemies like Zombies, Possessed soldier, Imps, etc. I love the wall climbing parts, very easy. I also love the new enemies like Marauder, Doom hunter, Gladiator, and Whiplash. their interesting and make it challenging in a fun way. Not much about Carcass, he's very easy to kill by getting around his shields. he more like an Overwatch character that was supposed to be in the game but cut because the developer didn't put time or didn't they put effort. Anyway But the Final boss I the most like is the Icon of sin. I really love that now it is finally real and not in texture like doom 2. I can finally beat him. As I said, he looks very real. I like secret encounters. also about the Marauder, I like him. he follows the rules other enemies do and goes on an offensive hard. he uses his shield when you attack him too early and he attacks you in a long-range of you try to use any long-range. I forgot one thing he summons dog if you attack other enemies. so attack when he is close and when he attacks.
    Also, love the Soundtrack. Doom series is also famous for its music with heavy metal. the Chrous is, let's say very heavy metal. I'm not being sarcastic.

    Now Battlemode, which is basically 1v2 battle. slayer vs 2 monsters. it was alright. but I miss snap maps from Doom 2016. if you don't know Snap maps, its a feature from doom 2016 where you can create a map or visit other player maps.

    I know battle mode is short, but that's all I got. but another thing I like is that you can custom doomguy with skins, and gestures and taunts. and you can also custom skin from weapons.
    Overall that Game is Perfect like Doom 2016 and a very great sequel.

    This is a great single-player FPS experience. I honestly can't rationalize giving this game anything lower than a 9. I only reserve 10's for games that are groundbreaking and set a new bar for gaming. This is not quite there, but it's done very well.

    Gameplay is extremely fast paced, brutal, and challenging. You will find yourself starved for ammunition, so you do have to make sure your hits count, and often keep track of where ammunition is around the areas you're fighting in so that you can reach for it when you need it. To make up for low ammo, you can use blood punches or the chainsaw. This gives you very strong incentive to be precise with your hits. Also, dashing is introduced into this iteration, which is not just for platforming, but to give you tactical advantages in combat. Using the Flame Belcher and grenades/bombs is also another feature that adds more tactical elements to the game, making the combat more dynamic than ever before.

    Make no mistake, this game WILL kick your ass. I'm no noob at FPS games, played everything from the original Doom/Doom 2, Doom 2016, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty series, and having completed most of these at the highest difficulty level. My first time playthrough was on Hurt Me Plenty and I died quite often. I even felt slightly hopeless at certain times, like I literally felt that I wasn't gonna be able to beat certain encounters, which is extremely rare for me. The controls take some time to get used to, and ammunition is hard to come by, but once you tough through it and reach a certain skill level, you will find that the game becomes quite rewarding. The game does give you lots of tips for fighting monsters, but do not expect this game to hold your hand. It will beat you to a bloody pulp and it will not pull any punches. You will not survive with pure aggression like Doom 2016 - aggression is still rewarded, but you have to be more tactical. The game does reward skill and the challenge is satisfying to overcome.

    As for the negatives, the platforming is slightly annoying and I feel the game could have done without it, but in the end it didn't detract from my overall experience. The weapons do feel a bit underpowered overall. The story seems like it bounces between taking itself too seriously, but also often self-deprecating with "mortally challenged" jokes. But story is not something I care too much about in a Doom game.

    Overall, I feel that this is a very good FPS, one of the best I've ever played, and overall I felt it was an improvement over Doom 2016, which was also a great game. But if you expect a game to reward you for all-out aggression with guns blazing like 2016, this isn't it. If you're okay with that, then I fully recommend this game.
