    Essa sequência é o Doom 2016 melhorado de todas as formas possíveis, multiplayer funciona porém muito simples para um jogo desse calibre

    Doom eternal is a fast paced, doesn’t waste your time, fast paced FPS that doesn’t disappoint. This game is the perfect sequel to doom 2016 and isn’t a copy paste of doom 2016 and is much more harder than the first one and doesn’t mess around. Soundtrack is back a just as exciting and has new demons that will challenge your skill to the max

    So far I've seen several bad reviews here for a game that enjoyed a lot so I thought I'd add some of my commentary on the game. I'm a Doom fan, though not a fanboy to the point I'll suck the game off and ignore it's flaws. It's not a flawless game but it's a pretty damn good one, the best in the series for that matter.

I'm a Doom fan, though not a fanboy to the point I'll suck the game off and ignore it's flaws. It's not a flawless game but it's a pretty damn good one, the best in the series for that matter. It deviates a lot from the Doom 2016, adding a lot more mobility and weapons. Essentially the Doom Slayer is given several new abilities each of them a more than welcome addition. Though I feel like the most welcome addition is the increased usage of the chainsaw. Ammo is something that is a bit more seldom than the previous games. Before you could simply sweep an entire level with the same weapon and call it a day but now you have to switch around and think fast in the middle of battle on which weapons you should use. I never really came across a point in time where I had no ammo, if you're lacking in ammo you simply chainsaw some fodder. You also have some increased mobility so you can be on the move a lot more. Since that's what made the previous games so good it's a welcome addition. Though I feel the biggest hinderance this game has is the platforming. Now in between firefights you'e usually given a platforming section. It's not horrendous but it's a bit out of place to say the least. It does take a lot away from the atmosphere and vibe of the game. But I feel like what makes this game best is the spectacle. Before you were tied to the same planet and space station now you're traveling between dimensions to these massive hellscapes littered with titans and mechs. The game also tries to build up some lore to the Doom world but it's entirely optional while it is sometimes shoved in your face. Overall if you enjoy Doom or FPS' in the slightest you'll love this game.… Expand

    SPOILER ALERT
    I'm on moment where you need to return Crucible Sword, and holy frick this episode is hard af, i'm tired of this **** there are too much enemies that are bosses or just almost impossible to kill if you don't have bfg ammo, which i lost few minutes before Titan moment.
    Like marauder(or how it spells) , he is fuccin impossible in that location,, i can't, i just can't, i tried for half-hour, when i first met him i killed him faster!
    So, if you want to play on "Hurt me plenty" lvl prepare for pain if you're not so pro gamer, mb i'm noob, cuz i always forget to use abilities like fire, or grenades, there are too much things to remember, i'm not talking 'bout enemies weak points, you need to know weak of every enemy, or u are dead.

    So to keep the tl;dr at the start, this is nearly the perfect shooter. Period. My biggest issues are smaller ones but they add up enough to make me not feel good giving it a perfect 10. Highly recommended, absolutely.
    But now for the nitty gritty. This is meets my already high expectations from 2016 and then some.
    Gameplay- lets just get it out of the way. Gameplay is magnificent. And    So to keep the tl;dr at the start, this is nearly the perfect shooter. Period. My biggest issues are smaller ones but they add up enough to make me not feel good giving it a perfect 10. Highly recommended, absolutely.
    But now for the nitty gritty. This is meets my already high expectations from 2016 and then some.

    Gameplay- lets just get it out of the way. Gameplay is magnificent. And it’s the main thing you’re here for. If you played 2016 you’ve got the basic building blocks for here. Now on top of the existing glory kills for health, we have the flame belcher for armor, and the chainsaw is still for ammo, except now it recharges and as such is more vital for the gameplay loop, which throws a lot of people off early game, the ammo caps are lower across the board and when you aren’t used to the new chainsaw, it’s hard to get used to. Simply, you have to git gud. That’s about it. Enemies are FAR more aggressive, you can’t just kinda run a big circle around the arenas and kill enemies as they come, big guys will hunker down and wait for you to come to them, and a certain late game mirror match enemy is built to pull you into his pacing rather then your own. That’s a controversial choice but I like it. My main issue is that some weapon mods come across pointless. The full auto shotgun seems great but with the new lower ammo cap it’s hard to feel safe using it, but maybe I’ll feel better with more time in it. Funnily enough the heavy machine gun’s mods flipped for me. I use the scope way more now than the micro missiles, due to a new mechanic I’ll detail in a moment. There’s also the new super weapon I won’t name, but it’s nice, it uses partial charges of the BFG shots and is more of a machine gun. It’s very interesting. On top of that is the crucible. That’s less of a spoiler, it’s all over the marketing. It’s three charges to instantly kill any enemy that isn’t resistant to super weapons. So specific mini boss enemies and bosses. It’s fun, though you get it just a bit too late for my taste. Also since the ammo is based on placed pickups it’s hard to justify using it in a map without them. Same with the bfg. But that’s a relatively minor issue I suppose. And for the new mechanic, any enemy classed as heavy and above has a specific weak point, that can be destroyed to seal off some of it’s attacks. For example, you can destroy the returning Revenant’s shoulder cannons to seal off his ability to fire missiles, making him use his melee attacks I genuinely think you would never see otherwise. (For good reason)
    Graphics/performance- the game looks nice, idTech 7 is doing great, it runs like a dream where 2016 on idTech 6 struggles to maintain a consistent frame rate. Aside from some weird graphical artifacts tied to mist effects in one level, I didn’t see graphics mess up any, and I had exactly one crash the entire game and I couldn’t recreate it so it much have just been a fluke.
    Story- As John Carmack, co-creator of Doom himself said “story in a game is like story in porn. You expect it to be there, but it’s not that important” and the writers clearly understand that, but left a story here that, if you want to see it, is enjoyable and leaves you wanting more for the confirmed dlc or a sequel that will no doubt come.
    But wait there’s more. This game also includes a new pvp mode called Battlemode. It’s one slayer with 90% of his arsenal (no super weapons without special circumstances) vs two demons, picked from the super heavy class, I believe. The Marauder, Pain Elemental, Mancubus, Revenant, and Archvile. Bit of a limited roster, but I think it’s just right, and leaves room for the mode to expand it. Demons play more or less like the 2016 MP demon summons did, except now they have four skills to use, either buffs/debuffs or summoning smaller demons, such as hell knights, prowlers etc. One side wins by killing the other, and the demon players respawn so slayer has to kill two demons at once. Winner is first to 3 wins, if it gets to the last two of five rounds the game opens up a second tier of upgrades to choose one of, things like summoning a baron of hell for the demons or giving the slayer the BFG. It’s loads of fun if you get a genuinely balanced matchup of similar skill levels, but is just a slog if you end up totally outmatched, like any pvp game. Overall, it’s a nice side mode, but I hope that unlike 2016 it’s not the focus, the single player should be. But don’t ignore battlemode, it’s fun and deserves new content as well.
    Ultimately, this is a strong candidate for the arbitrary game of the year award, and I hope it grows even more over the rest of the year with the promised dlc    … Expand

There is fair amount of platforming areas which stops the game from being a perfect 10/10 but the overall game is amazing. Doom eternal is been a difficult game to learn but rewarding to master.

The combat is fast and frantic but even more punishing then Doom 2016 which might be a turn off for some people you really have to use every weapon and use them smartly this time around. Another thing is the platforming now their is a bit but I wouldn't call it a Mario game as some people were saying or that hard at least for me. For the story their are cutscenes but their skippable and theirs not that many of them so don't listen to anyone telling you otherwise. The story itself is confusing if you're just looking at the cutscenes however all of the full story is inside the codex entries which is going to effect your enjoyment if you like reading through lore thankfully I do but for other people that is to keep in mind. The only real negatives I have is that the MP gets boring after a few matches for me and for people looking for a classic deathmatch experience sadly is not hear but other then that Doom Eternal is the best FPS game I played this year for me.… Expand

    I thought this game was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good.

    1) Combat The developers have stated again and again in interviews that they want this game to elicit similar strategies to a game of chess. Each enemy type having specific strengths and weaknesses. And I must say: they succeeded. This idea came through beautifully in the finished product! And it wasn't    I thought this game was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good.

    1) Combat

    The developers have stated again and again in interviews that they want this game to elicit similar strategies to a game of chess. Each enemy type having specific strengths and weaknesses. And I must say: they succeeded. This idea came through beautifully in the finished product!

    And it wasn't just the enemies. The Slayer's moveset had some more strategy put in as well! Most notable is the lack of ammo in your reserves. You have very little ammo in this game and you're constantly running out. However, this actually comes off as a plus. Why? Because it gives you the opportunity to unleash your chainsaw on the closest demon fodder! What's more, is that your chainsaw fuel constantly recharges on it's own (and rather quickly too) so you'll never be without ammo if you play your cards right.

    2) Style Change

    There's been a slight, but very noticeable, style shift from the last Doom game. Its surprisingly silly and cartoony, and I'm kinda into it. A lot more Demon punching slapstick. Plus, the ammo/health pickups greatly resemble the original, magical, floating Doom pickups, giving it a more cartoony/fantasy vibe. A bit of an adjustment from Doom (2016), but all in the service of making the game more arcade fun.

    And a bit of a side note: Eternal is a whole lot more colorful, and I totally dig it.

    3) Exploration / Level Pacing

    In Doom (2016), my biggest problem with the game was that the levels were a slog to get through. This was mostly caused by the fact that I was constantly switching between a combat mindset and an exploration mindset. I'd complete a combat encounter, then explore the area for collectables. This slowed the game down to a crawl.

    In Eternal, this isn't a problem. I can safely skip all the collectables in a level and focus on the combat. Why? Because of the simple addition of fast travel; unlocked near the end of each level. Once I reach the end of a level, I can fast travel back to key sections and find everything I need to make my inner collector happy!

    And if you don't care about searching the level for weapon upgrades, you can skip exploration entirely! You're awarded these through combat challenges as well. So don't worry if you're not into playing hide n' seek with collectables.

    4) Story

    Probably the most divisive part of the game are the prominince of the story and cutscenes. Not to worry! If you're not into that, they aren't essential to you're enjoyment, and they're completely skippable. (Except for the opening 30 seconds, but it's not story based or anything like that.)

    Of course, if you're like me, you will be very interested to see where the story goes. There's a whole lotta story beats involving the Slayer's past that I think y'all will like. I certainly did. Anyways, its kept rather vague, so if you want to know everything, better bust out those Codex entries.

    However, if you're not interested at all in the story there are still some Codex entries you might get a kick out of! Take a look at "History of the Sentinals - Part IX" (Last 2 Paragraphs), "History of the Sentinals - Part XIV" (All of It), and "Super Shotgun" (Last Paragraph). All of those are pretty badass.

    5) Summary

I wanted to give it a 8/10 but the campaign just makes you feel like such a power house it’s like doom guy is constantly saying **** you” to everyone in his way and it is amazing, the final boss & graphical representation lifts it up to a 9/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (Keep in mind, I can't review the multiplayer part cause I don't have PS+ k thx)
    So, I guess I'll just parrot what a lot of people are saying. DOOM Eternal is a fantastic game from start to finish. I'll keep it *mostly* spoiler-free for those who have somehow not played it yet. However, there will be some ahead, so you've been warned. Okay, I'll start with pros.

    Pros:
    - Great campaign with a solid approach to its simple story, being heavily supported by surprisingly-detailed lore.
    - Some of the best FPS gameplay I've ever had the pleasure of taking part in. Combat is extremely satisfying and intense, the controls are just right, movement is very fluid and fast-paced, enemy variety is high enough to keep things fresh, the weapons are a blast to use, the shortened amount of ammo means you'll have to actually use your chainsaw for more than just saving fuel to kill bigger demons, like before, and glory kills are better than they were in Doom 2016 (or DoomK16, which is what I affectionately call it). This is a brutal arena-oriented shooter that will require focus and strategy. It's far more involving than before, and I love it for that. Get used to the mechanics, and you'll Rip and Tear in no time.
    - The collectibles make it worth searching every nook and cranny for them, especially if you wanna go for all of them, as you may get nice rewards out of doing so, such as being able to play the original DOOM, once you unlock all the cheat codes. You can also get DOOM 2, but I'll let you Google how with that one, should you choose.
    - The platforming, while a bit less naturally-flowing with the levels than it was in DoomK16, can be good fun to nail.
    - The soundtrack. That is all I need to say about it. Major kudos to everyone involved in it.
    - There's some spoiler-heavy moments that I think would be quite a treat for those who have previously played Doom.
    - The boss fights are oftentimes more engaging and fun than before, especially the final boss.

    A couple neutral points that I think would be crucial information:
    -There's a particular enemy type that *will* throw things on its head and make it far more difficult for those unable to keep up with its unique combat style, that being the Marauder. While it can be slaughtered easily, provided you know what you're doing, it may be a negative, due to some of its mechanics being particularly bothersome, especially that daggum dog.
    - This game can feel a bit more arcadey than the previous game, especially with the extra lives and cheat codes. While I don't see this as a bad thing at all; in my view, it's more fun. However, it can be something worth pointing out.

    Now for the cons:
    - The purple goo and swimming is a major hindrance to the fun factor of the game. *HOWEVER*, it is brief, thankfully, so it's not too big of a problem. Still an unnecessary roadblock, though.
    - I've run into a couple technical issues that were immersion breakers, or just plain annoying. Rarely, it seems that the textures haven't loaded in. However, walking into it seems to fix the problem. I've also crashed a few times, but it wasn't the biggest deal for me.
    - Although I like the boss fights, that they have fodder demons to back them up kinda takes the immersion of engaging in a 1-on-1 fight away some. It makes more sense with the final boss, and *maybe* the penultimate one as well, but otherwise, I wish they could just provide ammo drops upon exploiting weak points or surpassing a damage threshold, like it was with DoomK16.

    So yeah, fantastic game overall. id Software absolutely hit it out of the park compared to DoomK16, which I think would probably look worse for me on repeat playthroughs. Not that it isn't a game worth playing anymore, but it's jarring the night-and-day difference both games have. Where Doom Eternal takes a step back, it seems to take three-five steps forward. A fantastic game that is well worth your money. This is how you make a sequel.

    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.    … Expand

Apart that we are in 2020 and we finally have a game that offers a good artificial intelligence, deceitful and aggressive. The gameplay during the fights is frankly fun however we would have done without phases of funny platforms for five minutes but which become very heavy in the long run. Otherwise the sensations are almost the same as in 2016 and that's what makes it hard for me to do better than Doom 2016. There aren't really big differences between the two games and it's that's what disappoints me a lot, apart from the new sublime music and the new weapons I haven't really seen much difference except I expected much more ...

    - 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

The gameplay has been revised since Doom 2016, with a bigger focus on resource management. Weapons have less ammo and you have to use various equipment to make enemies drop health, armour and ammo. Initially this could make you feel like it's imbalanced if you don't take the time to understand the mechanics. But once you get into the habit of using the chainsaw for ammo, flame belch to make enemies drop armour and cryo grenades to make them drop health, it creates a satisfying frantic loop of maintaining your resources while staying in the fight. The reduced max ammo does mean you can't just spam your fav weapon now, so you're encouraged to switch it up. Especially since they've given each weapon specific advantages over certain demons. For example: a shotgun grenade will instantly put a cacodemon into the glory kill state. The weapons and demon designs have been revised to more accurately resemble the doom 2 variants. This is a welcome change! It's great seeing the original cyber demon design (now called tyrants)
    There is now a bigger focus on platforming to keep players engaged between fights. This can be hit or miss for me. Sometimes it's a fun diversion, other times an annoying time waster. It has a much more arcade feel, between the super mario platforming and weapon/secrets appearing as big floating brightly lit icons. Also it's a confetti explosion when enemies drop supplies. It does take away from the grit that was in the previous game, although Eternal still has the brutal levels of violence you'd expect.
    The story is not very interesting tbh, it's icing on the cake at best and a series of wasted potential at worst. The lore entries you find scattered about sound more interesting than what we play through. We get to read about this huge defence made by earth's forces against the demons, but when the game begins the defence has already fallen. This means we play through barren areas with no survivors or huge battles. Instead we get to see the leftover remains of the battles that happened. You'll see things like dead bodies and destroyed giant mechs in the distance. But it feels like we missed the most exciting part of the story.
    Overall it's a super fun game, with an average story but much improved gameplay. Although the platforming is hit or miss, the combat is better than ever. Also the soundtrack is amazing and Mick Gordon outdid himself here.    … Expand

The crappy reviews are all just an excuse to make their favorite games get a higher score honestly, the game is almost perfect, the multiplayer for some is not the best but still really fun to play, Doom isn't garbage because you "run outta ammo" or "too much jumping", none of those got in the way or even bothered me, you don't reload and constantly keep shooting for days, of course you'd run outta ammo without noticing if you keep holding the shoot button and do nothing but miss, even if you run out of ammo and juice for the chainsaw too you still have your grenades, flamethrower, glory kills, bloodpunch, and you can even charge into the enemies too. The only issue with this game I can think of right now is just... the story really. Even then, Doom does what it does best, and that's gameplay, the story is just a reason for Doom to play out the way it does, I haven't played any other Doom but I know for a fact that it never was about the story, I don't know about Doom 3 though but in case you didn't know, now you do (I highly doubt the low rating reviews know what they're talking about as they are probably still stuck on the Super Gore Nest for all I know) This is also my first time making a review ever so sorry if I make any mistakes, I really liked Doom Eternal and was honestly surprised by its low rating. But then again, these are probably the same people who think Last Of Us 2 is a masterpiece sooooo I'd rather listen to a brick wall than guys who think the Marauder is "unfair".… Expand

    Este juego es simplemente genial, su historia es mejor y te llegas a interesar, su jugabilidad le da mil vueltas a todos los Doom en cuanto a ese. Pero el gran problema serian las peleas contra los Jefes la pelea final es buena (no voy a decir contra quien es) solo que prácticamente te hace mas daño los enemigos que el Jefe. Pero súper recomendado

    El juego en general es muy bueno, mucha acción, mucho entretenimiento y sobre todo es un juego largo que te va a tener muchas horas pegado a la tv.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been playing Doom Eternal for about a year now, and I can say it has been on of my favourite First Person Shooter games of all time. The music is quite amazing, and the combat is a blast. The game takes the combat from Doom 2016, and fixes a lot of the problems, like how in 2016 you could just rely on the SSG, and you barely needed to use the chainsaw because you had so much ammunition. Doom Eternal makes some weapons needed to make killing certain enemy types easier, and weapons that didn't get a lot of attention (like the plasma rifle) were made better for the player to use. The meathook is a welcome addition to the SSG, and makes getting to places a breeze. My only gripe with the game that stops me from giving it a 100% score is the Unmaykr. There are multiple Slayer gates that you must complete to get the weapon, but the unmaykr isn't very useful, and you're better off using the BFG instead. It is a bit more useful in the DLC though… Expand

    Fun game. Story is decent, combat is amazing and the soundtrack is bomb. The game has bugs here and there, and the multiplayer lacks players. Overall good game.

    Doom Eternal improves the combat system that was setup in Doom 2016 to a new level. Additions like Flame Belch, SSG Meathook, the Dash, Ice Bomb and other additions make this game a step up from Doom 2016. However the game itself is more challenging because it requires more skill from the player, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the player.

However the game itself is more challenging because it requires more skill from the player, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the player. Doom Eternal forces you to consider managing your resources for things like ammo, because weapon ammo capacity has been reduced from 2016. I personally think this is a good thing and I welcome the changes and the increase of difficulty. It requires me and other players to think about how they play the game. It helps keep the player engaged with the combat loop. I find the gameplay addicting and fun. I recommend old Doom players alike to try out this newest game in the franchise and new players to try out Doom 2016 first and then play Eternal.… Expand

    There was something about the aesthetic of DOOM 2016 that I makes me like it more. But otherwise, this game is objectively more mechanically sound. Its more Doom what's not to love?

    It is a great game, I have not beaten it. I recommend playing on easy even if you are really good at FPS games, because it is very very difficult. Despite the fact it is difficult it is very fun and has a lot of story and things to do. I highly recommend it.

    Juego muy sólido. La música es para matar (y lo harás en abundancia). Si es nuevo, al principio se sentirá un poco abrumador, pero lo dominará rápidamente. Es un juego que sin disculpas te hace dominado. Es refrescante sentirse así si juegas juegos competitivos la mayor parte del tiempo. No puedo pensar en muchos protagonistas que sean tan rudos como Doom Slayer.

    Get the BASE GAME ONLY. Unless you want to slog through mediocre DLC. Like everyone said gameplay loop is really good and unlike some dumbasses say theres actually many creative ways to kill mobs. The combat tips aren't even the best ways to kill enemies just ignore it.

    The campaign it comes with is good in its own right, however, i would not suggest you buy full price if your going to only do campaign, as i did. i personally got it in a really good deal with both skyrim and subnautica all for 50 bucks. but aside from that, very good game.

    Pros - great graphics, game play and story.
    Cons - some battle sequences are long resulting in lack of sleep.

    This game is fantastic. The only problem is that every other first person shooter now is underwhelming because they're not doom eternal.

    I really do recommend this game to anyone who hasn't bought it yet, very fun game that can be played many ways, only problem is there isn't much to do after you do the campaign, besides pvp or modded levels. I love this game but it is hard to replay for me since it requires so much time skill, its not very good at being a game you can play every once and awhile, it requires constant attention.
