    Doom eternal is the most enjoyable fps game this year by far but there are somethings that kinda felt off let me explain why

    story: the story is very vague in this game this time but in short the slayer has a ship and can teleport anywhere to reap and tear demons while learning some things about his past pros: the amount of details from the minor things like demon face expression    Doom eternal is the most enjoyable fps game this year by far but there are somethings that kinda felt off let me explain why

    story: the story is very vague in this game this time but in short the slayer has a ship and can teleport anywhere to reap and tear demons while learning some things about his past

    pros:
    the amount of details from the minor things like demon face expression to their skin and bones breaking and tearing after you shoot them is just astonishing and don't let me get started on the things that are going on in the back round of the map that's just a new level of detail

    game play is flawless and so enjoyable i cant get enough of chainsawing demons shooting missiles at them and tearing their heads off

    most of the glory kills are just amazing and grotesque

    the map is super easy to understand and really easy to use

    every map looks really unique and has a ton of secrets for you to find

    every demon design is superb and amazing

    the game runs smooth even on console which is really hard to manage

    THE MUSIC IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL mick gordon made such an excellent job with the music i can easily say best video game music of 2020

    cons:
    i really didn't like the new approach they did with the game by basically making it more arcadeish unlike the 2016 version it kinda bugged me because it felt like i'm playing unreal tournament sometimes

    the whole interface design and color they did looks really ugly

    the gun design in my opinion isn't that good compared to the 2016 version even the unmakyer the new ultra gun they added looks really boring compared to how it looked in the original doom game

    and about the glory kills yes i said that most of them are amazing but that's most of them the other bigger half is you cutting them up with a blade which is kinda lazy in my opinion because i would prefer the slayer just killing them with his hands and by doing that the glory kills become unique to each demon and not just cutting them in half and that's it

    in conclusion the game is such a blast to play with new demons and crazy metal music even if there are some cons here and there this game does deserve high praise because even now after i finished it i cant stop playing because of the enjoyable gun play which leads me to my final score my score to doom eternal is a 8.5 out of 10 i really think that you as a player should buy this awesome game    … Expand

    SHOOTER OF THE DECADE: Sublime, gore, fantastic, frenetic.

    Must play!! Some users are giving low ratings because they just can' handle all the madness this great game delivers. To enjoy it and get the most of it you need to have some skills.

    The epitome of the FPS genre. I preordered the collectors edition of this game the first day it was available!

I preordered the collectors edition of this game the first day it was available! I was a huge fan of DOOM 2016 and I played it so much I am still within the top 100 on arcade mode in the world for almost all the missions! (I know shameless lol) I am also a huge metal fan and this game just speaks to me. DOOM 2016 was already a buttery smooth masterpiece of death and carnage...but DOOM ETERNAL. I mean I can't tell you how many times I exclaimed "Holy Sh%t!!" to myself as I found myself in awe at what I was experiencing. It is hands down the most intense, satisfying and CHALLENGING FPS experience. You are going 100 mph the whole time and the later fights of multiple waves of different enemy combinations will have you sweating as you rip and tear through the huge number of demons thrown at you. One complaint I had about 2016 was that the arenas were over too quickly but holy hell did they fix that! I made a promise to myself I would take my time on Nightmare for my first play-through to challenge myself and force myself to adapt and it absolutely did. The game play is more focused on the resource management and even though some players found it tedious, I honestly started the habit of flame belching and chainsawing every fodder, every time it was charged, so I was always stocked up for all weapons I barely felt the ammo shortage later in the game. They want you to pay attention and get the flow of combat. Unfortunately a lot of people walked through doom 2016 with a ton of ammo and just the super shotgun, while the best way to play it was to deal massive damage by switching weapons rapidly and using all your tools and Eternal really drives this point home.

    OH and the marauder! Everyone is complaining about how difficult he is to face? YEAH, THAT'S THE POINT. He's the test of your skills! It feels like a brutal show down every time one of those guys spawns in, some fights with Marauders can last several minutes! I am really not trying to brag but the first encounter I beat him on the first try on Nightmare! I just stayed calm and dashed around him like mad just waiting for his green flash and subsequent axe attack! Plus use the fodder that spawn in! Run from him and go burn and chainsaw a few dudes, then face him with a full armory and health! I really love and hate the enemy, for how difficult he is because I definitely died a ton on the later encounters with him, but man people need to calm down and appreciate why he's there. Put the time in and GIT GUD. They want you you try and try again, learn the enemies, the marauder is no different! So please ID don't nerf him! I love it how it is!

    Lastly I should mention some smaller things that are just great , the art style and environments are a huge step up from 2016, the places you fight in and platform through are just dripping with atmosphere, each mission has a distinct feel and vibe and makes each part of the game very memorable! Plus the abundance of secrets and various point pick ups for your suit are scattered everywhere in cool places that take some thinking and awareness. Plus they show you just enough to figure it out for yourself too, so it's not so bad.

    Finally the freaking god tier music!!! Mick Gordon needs his own shrine or something after this, his soundtrack complements the various environments perfectly so much so that you associate the music with the location! The tracks that blast while you are in combat get you pumped and drive the pace of combat, you will feel like a complete bad ass. I love the little detail how when you die the music will lose it's bass and then slowly return to full volume and chunkiness as you load back into the fight! It's just gaming bliss when you are blasting through demons dashing around the room swinging from poles, glory killing and chainsawing, all the while this heavy metal song is pounding along while you do your thing. Ugh, I cannot stress how good this is. It's a freaking spiritual experience!

    All in all, you are seriously missing out if you don't play this game. This is a next gen milestone, and will be remembered for decades to come. RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE!    … Expand

    Great sequel to awesome Doom (2016) that pays respect to the OGs. Great pacing, excellent combat mechanics, variety of cool looking demons and amazing music score. It's all a fan can hope for, and I suspect, a favourite to play in the coming years. Bad ass.

    If you like fps games or just mindless gore while ripping demons apart look no further. This game is probably one of the best fps games ever made, the combat feels so good, mastering every weapon and enemy type is essential for harder difficulties and the payoff is murdering demons with ungodly precision and speed while looking/feeling like a badass

    Doom Eternal is the best Doom game since 64, the best game bethesda has made in years and probably the best doom game ever made.

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 games combat sets an impossibly high bar to top, it being smooth, satisfying and metal af! I've heard people complain about the story leaving them lost as some things arent directly explained such as the Hell Priests and the Night Sentinels, this explanation isnt needed if you arent playing for an in depth story all you must know is the overarching goal of the Khan Maykr. But even if you arent there for deep lore, I HIGHLY recommend you read some of the codexes it is very interesting and makes the Doomslayer all the more badass. As for cutscenes, they are amazing, they make you and the Doomslayer feel like an absolute heavy metal god, this definetly brings forth flaws in 2016 in my opinion due to the fact that in these cutscenes you are able to compare your self to the puny humans you meet and you are actually recognised as a strong rage filled warrior. This point lacks in th 2016 game, you feel much more badass with people to interact with and a story to explain why your ruining the devilish day of these demons. My final point will be around platforming, I dont have a problem with the platforming, though at times feels buggy and frustrating, its fine for me as it makes each level less flat (Of which 2016 felt a lot like) and expands the level design to make it more interactive for traversal and combat elements. The only complaint i have with the platforming is that it seems less natural. To conclude, i loved Doom 2016 and thought it was a great game but Doom Eternal exceeded my expectations (which were already extremely high) and is by far the best game of 2020 and could well be the best game for the rest of the year.… Expand

So let me get on to it Doom Eternal which I didint think would top Doom, it did it’s such an amazing work of art the gameplay is just amazing and has much more thought to it than the first game it felt so amazing swinging around pulling off glory kills right when I thought I would die. This game has some great boss battles as well such great spectacle and vistas to see in the backgrounds the soundtrack is killer, the enemy designs are great and even the story is a little better than the first I gues I only have about two complaints about the game and one of them most people are complaining about of course it’s the Marauder he is such a pain in the ass to kill while trying to deal with other enemies this guy will make you rage quit but at the same time I kinda liked that he was in it, it pissed me off but he was such a cool design for an enemy. The other complaint is that the game can be really freaking hard sometimes this game will punish you so much it’ll make you not want to play for a while but hats of to ID for making this gorgeous masterpiece of gameplay I gotta say it’s gonna be hard going back to other FPS games without the gameplay of Doom Eternal… Expand

I came to re-write my review (basically due to reading a BUNCH of n-e-g-i-t-v-e reviews!

    Doom Eternal N O T a Doom game? What?

    The OG Doom and Doom 2 hell on earth are DIFFICULT classic FPS that primarily focus on fast - snappy skill - and exploration of the map (whilst killing hordes of Demons in tight arena-based combat rooms)

    Doom eternal takes T H A T general gameplay element (adds more heavy metal cartoonish aesthetic) and ramps it up to create a more fluid (probably more accessible honestly) direction. They use the OLD models (for the most part) of the enemies....like...its more DOOM then DOOM 3 and DOOM 2016 (Doom 3 is a piece of **** bad...the gameplay is clunky, it's not spooky scary - - it's frustrating and cheap)

    I do believe that maybe the way Ammo and Health pickups work is potentially a bit irritating (also ammo size for the guns probably NEEDS to be upped in a patch, also potentially add more chances to find ammo and health kits around the mappps) But the general idea behind it is kinda cool. YOU as the Doom Slayer need to maintain and work on your direction of fire and take advantage of your arsenal throughout the environmental **** even use the terrain to your advantage...

    It's still RIP AND TEAR...But now its more RIP AND TEAR strategically.

    I like DOOM 2016 but it feels a lot easier and less challenging compared to how they balanced all the new mechanics within Eternal. Also the Narrative this time round is more compelling from a DOOM nerd-lore perspective. It is more arcady then all the other doom games too...but I'm kinda okay with it... all the doom games have really silly (Legit DOOM 2 is about the doom guy getting revenge for the death of his rabbit) situation based carnage.

    The game makes YOU the player need to seriously BRING it to these Demons. After about 3 or 4 hours I've finally gotten the hang of the environment and the terrian. Im finding it MUCH more satisfying killing these demon ****

    Platforming is also a SERIOUS LEGIT issue the game has...this cannot reaaallly be fixed....It just kinda...idk...takes away from the KILL IT carnage....that would be my ABSOLUTE biggest grip.

    Overall. I kinda love this game. It's fun. It's absolutely intense and violent.
    Guns do need a bit of a buff tho. Although, I reckon this is something that can (and most likely well) be fixed by the id Software lads.    … Expand
