    Pros:
    - The soundtrack is phenomenal
    - The movement and combat is fluid, more so than any other recent game that I can think of
    - The art design is just spot on
    Cons:
    - The story isn't the best, it's not bad, but it doesn't achieve the same level of quality as the other parts that make up the game

    I am a terrible shooter player, and even besides that, this gave me the full experience of smashing and shooting. Very gory. Very stressful. Believe whatever you read about this game :) especially about the soundtrack and combat being good.

    Great campaign, great graphics and great combat system. Campaign is too short though.

    This game possibly has the smoothest action gameplay ever. The story really fun and offers a lot of extra lore to read through, if you like that kind of stuff.

    Likes : Simply AMAZING graphics - best ever for a Doom game. The shooter experience too is fast & great.

    Dislikes: Would have liked the demons to look a bit larger in size on the screen.

    This game is hard even on easy setting. The developers were having a good time creating a game that can stress people up deliberately. They know its hard that's why they give u a sentinel armor option if u die more than 3x in a fight.. pretty insulting. Not all players play to become a mass murderer. Some just play for fun and to appreciate lovely graphic art in a game.

    I've been playing this game on and off since release, starting over whenever i did. However i finally finished the game. Doom eternal is a fun game that causes the player to actually get involved and think on their feet on higher difficulties. It is a good game and a good way to get you thinking. I wish there was a lower states mode i could play with friends like horde mode coop orI've been playing this game on and off since release, starting over whenever i did.

    Fun game, recommended to players with prior fast paced FPS experience. Average around 15 hours.

    Good game, great graphics, very fun! sometimes it can be hard to find where you need to go, but that is only 1 bad thing, and the rest is good.

    A badass soundtrack that comes with a dank ass game with a little bit of spice from hell.

    Great game - good gameplay with puzzles and challenges along the way. Some of the "platform" type stuff can appear daunting, but I usually got there after a few attempts.

    VERY GOOD GAME! one of my favorites it has a lot of unique mechanics that take a bit to get used to but that adds a good challenge doom is so fun the demon models look sick and the combat is very fun and rewarding.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic! This game really amplified itself. You utilize all the weapons in your inventory making everything feel somewhat important. Every enemy has a weakness and the supershotgun with grapple added massive amount to the game with just this simple mechanic. It runs great on almost every pc and with still visually stunning. Even on the Nintendo switch. I was expecting just a fast paced shooter like Doom 2016. But this game delivered in graphics, atmosphere, and gameplay, and the music is the best and makes me want to beat the hell out of demons. The story is awesome connecting the original fps Doom, Doom 2, Doom 64 to this main title a fan boys dream. They make you feel like the boss in the game like your the one to be feared. I do wish they added snap map mode. Just a fantastic game it should have been Game of the Year it delivered on every aspect and went above and beyond what I thought it was going to be. I grew up with Doom 2 playing at 5 years old and it hit my nostalgia bone like a freak train. I pre ordered it and never regretted my purchase please add in snap map mode! Expand

    This game is pretty good. Doom (2016) may be good but this game is even better.

    Very good story, controls, graphics, and leveling. No complaints whatsoever.

    ID Software understands their audience. What more can you ask for over killing hordes of demons to an epic metal soundtrack. The fluidity of combat, the frenetic movement and speed, it's all years and years of a wonderful formula literally perfected. It's a great, stupid time!

    Ich empfehle dringend, dieses Spiel zu kaufen, es ist alles, was ich von einem FPS-Spiel wollte und noch mehr. es kann manchmal etwas schwierig sein, aber es wäre langweilig, wenn es kein hartes Spiel wäre, da alle DOOM-Spiele ziemlich hart sind.

    Pretty great game to be honest. The puzzles and combat are hard but very fun.

    Just buy it. It's like nothing else out there right now, and heart-poundingly challenging at times. Lots of good bonuses and easter eggs as usual, blah blah blah. From what I can tell it's very well optimized as well, I never experienced and chugging at all. Couple freezes and one or two bugs which forced me to reset the level (which was frustrating), but overall a complete gem.

    Even on the easiest setting difficult and tough but really fun. Would recommend.

    Fun shooter. Improves upon a lot of the previous doom game and adds more depth. The levels are a lot more varied and are much more enjoyable to explore. The improved movement is a joy.

    Doom Eternal tops its predecessor by adding much need depth to the combat, enhancing the slayers maneuverability, more interesting levels/locations, better more aggressive AI, rock solid id tech 7 and once again killer soundtrack by Mick Gordon.

    It's like the fun level from other FPS games except it's for the whole game.

    Great game, shout out to the devs for making a hard but fun game. Id tech 7 is also godly engine.

    Oh my god.... So this game is great. its fun and just enjoyable really working upon what DOOM (2016) laid down. But god, oh holy great one this game can get hard. im trying out a %100 Nightmare run and im losing my mind. and im gonna try Ultra Nightmare that is nightmare but one life the whole time. i dont know why im commiting so much but i must.

    Fast paced, demon-killing action, whats not to love. Game looks good and runs smooth as butter on any PS4.

    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.
