    Amp up the difficulty to get the most out of this game. Story is alright, lore is better, gameplay top-notch. Recommend getting the DLC on sale, but they are a must. At their worst, it feels like more DOOM; at their best, the base game feels like a tutorial and this is where the real game starts.

    I have already beaten the PS4 edition on my PS5 and both dlcs, But I love this game so freaking much and to be honest the PC version is better the controls are easy to adapt to and I am running a solid 250 fps.

    Best single player FPS I've ever played. This game is incredibly involved, and that will likely be a huge obstacle for first time Doom Eternal players, and it might even enrage them; it did for me. I highly recommend at least keeping visual tutorials on. I personally turned off the tutorials that pull you to the demo room, but many of you might be tempted to turn off all tutorials.

Turning off all of the tutorials will likely make every one of your big arena battles absolutely miserable because they throw every enemy, that you're supposed to understand how to fight at that point, at you in a single fight. It is really fun and exciting when you know the enemies weaknesses, because you are firing on all cylinders and using all your tools in the right way. All in all, great visuals, great gameplay, interesting story, 10/10 game in my book. Expand

    Maybe he is a God. Maybe he represents human kind's rage - their will to persevere, to overcome that which would threaten our survival. He is uncompromising, a relentless being of violence that knows no mention of the hesitation shown by our many leaders and politicians during our time of judgement. Can he overcome them? Alone? If he can't - we, as a species, ALL species, will not survive.Maybe he is a God. Maybe he represents human kind's rage - their will to persevere, to overcome that which would threaten our survival.

If he can't - we, as a species, ALL species, will not survive.

    The only thing they fear - is him. We watched as the horde overwhelmed the very best and most advanced machinery and weapons technology that we could muster against the opposition. It was useless, they moved too quickly, they cared not for themselves, only sought out the blood of humanity. They were willing to sacrifice their own to get to the heart of our world. We slaughtered thousands and millions more followed, but then he came - he cut through them like a sickle through a field - his fury surpassing their own. He is faster - more relentless. I believe him now to be more than just a man - he is...DOOM.

    Nice game to relax to, you won't understand the story without watching like 2h of videos, but the game is not about the story, it's about slashing and shines in that aspect.

    This. Game. Sucks.
    Remember how much fun it was in the 2016 Doom game to run head-first into a crowd of demons and blow them all back to hell? Remember how bad ass you felt? Remember what it felt like, not to be playing the player-character in a shooting game, but to feel like you were playing the boss? Well say goodbye to that. This game is all about running around scared like Shaggy in

This game is all about running around scared like Shaggy in Scooby Doo. The battle mechanics have been totally reworked so that only hiding and running will keep you alive. Oh, and the pointless platforming sections. Just a terrible, terrible direction for an otherwise great and institutional game franchise. Do not buy this game if you like having fun.

    The gameplay is incredible, the feeling of power and mastery that comes with time is exactly what you could expect from a DOOM game. It adds a few welcome changes to DOOM 2016, a game that already felt so good to play. Every fight is superbly designed. Movement feels awesome. The game's length is perfect to keep its diversity all along.

The sound design is just beyond words every weapon, enemy sounds to the insane soundtrack written by Mick Gordon just sounds so sharp and crisp. The weight of the game is really brought forward through the heaviness in the music and the carnage coinciding with the fast paced gameplay. The mechanics are perfected all around for every situation you can think of, there's always room for the player to adapt, improve and mentally think through every part of the combat. Doom 2016 felt as though it relied a little too heavily on nostalgia while not providing much new innovation, while Doom Eternal here does have some nostalgia it really elevates the genre forward with it's complete overhaul of new additions and changes to the mechanics where the difficulty is really rewarding.

It totally takes you out of a typical FPS mode of cover & shoot. You have to move move move to stay alive here. Weapon swapping, ammo management, threat management & of course health. There’s so many way to play & don’t listen to anyone complaining about the Marauder. I give this game 9/10. I thought Doom (2016) was a 9/10 also but it’s a relative 7/10 compared to Doom Eternal. I didn’t realize what I wanted until I got it so that’s why it’s 9/10. But in all seriousness the game is beautiful & the developers really caught lightning in a bottle. I always start games in the hardest level available. I had to drop it down a level & swallow my pride until I learned how to play differently. It sounds dumb but it’s true this game is not like anything I played before. Once you understand how to be mobile & on the hunt then you can RIP & TEAR. Expand

    Quite simply one of the best FPS games ever made. Not an easy task, given how much history the genre has and how much Doom Eternal has to match up to in its own series alone, but this game pushes the bar in pretty much every direction. Building on the solid but occasionally humdrum foundation of Doom 2016, Eternal refines and balances the gameplay to raise the skill ceiling and engage the player.

    This game is amazing.

    Instead of in most FPS games, where you play as... a army man, in doom, you play as this badass green guy who goes to hell and slices demons in half with a gun that is also a chainsaw. It’s just way more unique than other FPS games. This also is reflected in the gameplay. In games like call of duty, what you do is find some cover, shoot some guys, find more cover

It’s just way more unique than other FPS games. This also is reflected in the gameplay. In games like call of duty, what you do is find some cover, shoot some guys, find more cover ahead, and repeat. In doom, you are jumping all over the map, getting in demon’s faces, and just absolutely demolishing them. It does a service to the classic doom games that pioneered the first person shooter genre while not dwelling on the past. It’s just a super fun game. I’d recommend anyone to get this game, but I personally think the best way to play it is on the PC version, with a controller, with gyro aiming. (Not as much the switch version though. That one has gyro aiming built in, but it probably runs like crap, because it’s the switch version)

    Very surprised about this game. More wacky, more crazy and more mechanically deep compared to its predecessor. I think its the better game for it.

    Pretty massive improvement over Doom 2016 from combat, traversal, levels and overall more fun/crazy game. I like how graphics are more like original games style. I did not like 2016 but I loved this one.

    There aren't playstyles in modern Doom so much as players who use absolutely everything, and players who die. [Issue#346, p.84]

    A love letter to the classic series written in blood, Doom Eternal is a fast-paced and utterly thrilling way to paint the town (and Mars, and ethereal realms) red. [Issue#174, p.89]

    I enjoyed the ending, but it was so long. I had to wipe the sweat off my forehead. But it felt so good to be done.
