    It's an improvement of Doom 2016 there are some things that are a bit weird like how when you run out of ammo you have to use your chainsaw but this is easily bypassed by aiming properly.

    I also literally made an account purely for this reason.

    -Ammo issues?
    People keep claiming that they constantly have ammo issues.
    While it LOOKS like it initially, when you actually play the game, you will notice that in Eternal, the Chainsaw refills automatically in a short amount of time.
    This allows you to constantly use the chainsaw to refill ammo. Once you get in the rythm, the chainsaw becomes a great tool with actual purpose, that you use during battle to keep yourself stocked on ammo.
    This also eliminates slow pacing when looking around the map for more ammo. Making the game FASTER PACED. They solved an issue that was present even in the classic Doom games.

    With that out of the way,
    I can easily say that this is one of the best games to have come out in a super long time. Like literally the last 10 or so years.
    And I dare to say that this is the best first person shooter ever made at this point.

    This game simply makes 2016 look like a concept demo.
    It takes everything that was already amazing about 2016, and perfects it with more faithful enemy models, better music, better level design with a lot more things to find, and more fun and thoughtful gameplay.

    Level design:
    Huge and super oldschool. A lot less linear than 2016, which is GREAT. more sections are revisited, but you never feel that you're going the wrong way, because the player is being led in the right direction with ease.
    Enemies are placed more around the level, and not every encounter feels like a room full of spawning enemies.
    Although there are still big arena fights, there is now a way better ratio of traditional enemy placements and encounters placed in the map.
    Furthermore the amount of exploration that the player is allowed is even better than before. And it rewards you with a ton of goodies to find in the maps. Even optional extra fights, like fun and challenging "slayer gates" that take you to a seperate challenge arena. Rewarding you with one of the best weapons in the game if you finish all 6 of them.

    Gameplay loop:
    A lot of people will probably complain about the difficulty.
    Eternal is a harder game than 2016, and requires the player to put more thought into his actions.
    This is exactly what made classic Doom so great, the amount of thought you have to put in fighting.
    Target prioritization as always, but now you are also managing your resources.
    Chainsaw for ammo
    Glory kill for health
    Burn for armor
    These tactics become essential on harder difficulties, and keeps the player on a constant thinking process on how to deal with the next enemy.
    Combine this with the target prioritizing, quick reflexes, double jumps, new dashing maneuvers, a hotkey for shooting a frag or freeze grenade, and the "meat hook" chain on the super shotgun, and you have a lot more maneuverability and tools at your disposal to deal with these new tough enemy encounters.

    Weapons:
    Doom Eternal features a good collection of weapons that you would expect in a Doom game.
    Along with the upgrade system that 2016 had.
    Most upgrades are similar to the ones in 2016, some are even better and massively improved.
    They all feel great, and there is plenty of reason to use every single one of them for different situations.

    Enemies:
    As mentioned before, the enemy designs are very faithful to the classics.
    A lot of them even have added weakpoints that you can shoot at to disable a certain gun. Like the Revenant rocket launchers or the Mancubus flame cannons.
    Some enemies also have a certain weakness to certain weapons, but it isn't too crucial to use that to your advantage.
    There are more enemies than ever, they made some annoying ones more fun to fight, like the shield enemies. But have also added some other challenging ones that can give the player some real trouble in combat. Lots of variety to rip & tear.
    As for the bosses, I will not spoil what they are, but I can safely say that they give the player a real challenge, make the player strategize on dodging attack patterns and striking the boss at specific moments when they are vulnerable.

    Other:
    Graphics are great, but not too important. But the game looks gorgeous over all, just like 2016 did.
    A bit brighter and a lot less red everywhere. Lots of cool things to see in the distance.

    Everything sounds great, from enemies, to guns, to the hillarious headshot pops that sound like a bottle being opened. Music is even better than in 2016. For me, 2016 had good music, but could feel a bit repetetive at times. I feel like there is a lot more variety in themes here, making the songs more recognizable and fitting in the areas that you hear them. This game is the perfect sequel that will go down in history, and sets a new standard for FPS. If this game bores you, turn up the difficulty.    … Expand

    И в принципе в этому всему я оказался готов, игра не совсем похожа на Doom 2016, это действительно возвращение к классике Doom & Doom 2.

    Проходил первую часть на PC на максимальной сложности, с Doom Eternal на PS4 возникли проблемы уже на второй сложности. Некоторые противники умеют стрейфится и это очень напрягает. Тот же паук, появляющийся в самом начале припекает пятую точку на отлично.

    Платформинг иногда напрягает тем что ты не видишь изначально свой путь, прыжки надо делать буквально с края, а время у тебя ограничено. Вероятно это задел на препрохождение и спидранеров.

    Ближе к концу игры механики становятся более менее понятны, я привык к контроллеру и игра начинает раскрываться, пауки уже не так напрягают, напрягают эти долбанные зеленые глаза.

    В целом сиквел понравился, больше всего, все это лучше. Rip and tear, как говорится.

    The platforming sections are SHORT - rarely more than 3 platforms long - hardly anything to complain about. The tutorials are all in the first 90 min of the game - they throw a lot at you and get them out of the way early. The cinematic are rarely more than 1 min long and there’s not that many of them.

    Keep playing the game and you’ll quickly find yourself in the same action bliss that doom 2016 provided. The best escape I’ve found yet from the crazy times afoot! Amazing game, I have minor complaints with UI and sounds, but they pale in comparison with how much fun I’m having!    … Expand

    But the only negative thing in my opnion is the ammo. It just is pretty boring chainsawing demons every 30 seconds. But otherwise DOOM Eternal is in my honest opinion a masterpiece if DOOM 2016 was good, this is f*cking amazing.

    I highly recommend playing through it!    … Expand

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

Time to bust out the super shotgun, meat hook to something and blast its face, dash away before they retaliate, run off to glory kill something and dash across the map to create some distance to take out that mancubus. All the while the music is pounding the beat of the action into you. Our one true lord and savior, Mick Gordon, has done it again. Platforming and exploration sections give a much needed breather between arenas that will have you sweating and jaw clenching. Cut scenes provide a sense of just how badass the Doom Slayer is, oh and a little bit of story. DOOM Eternal takes the combat system from DOOM 2016 and injects pure adrenaline into it. This game punishes mistakes, and rewards smart choices. I have never had this much fun playing a shooter. This is the best single-player shooter I've ever played. As far as multiplayer goes, i haven't had a chance to delve into it myself, but it seems interesting, but lets not lie to ourselves - we're here for one thing, committing genocide on the mortally challenged while head banging to some sick tunes.… Expand

    The only complaint I have for this game is that guns are pickups, unlike Doom 2016 and that there's some 3 second cutscenes here and there that kind of interrupt the flow but it really doesn't matter.

    I see a lot of people here that haven't played the whole game, yet still leave a review which if I find really **** retartded.
