    One of the most engaging gameplay ever, Fast Phased Action, and lots of fun.

    This is the best first person shooter I have ever played and possibly the most fun I have had playing a singleplayer in a videogame.

    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.

    If you can't solve a problem with violence, then It's because you're not using enough.

    This is best single player fps that I ever played, and I played a lot.
    Combat mechanics, lore, music, performance, visuals, level design, its masterpiece 10/10

    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.    … Expand

    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. Sucks.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    Great game, checks all the boxes. Graphics, control, story, level design, all spot on and wrapped up nicely in a technically sound package that runs perfectly.

    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.

    Everything about this game has been not only a learning curve for me but also reminded me of why I love video games as I have felt that the industry has been dying for the past 10+ years with all honesty.

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.… Expand

    This is my favourite fps shooter. The soundtracks puts me in a blood-lust state. Learning to quick swap weapons and use all of my weapons in battle is so satisfying, no game has made me feel this powerful.

    I’m playing a year after the game has been released. I know a lot of the issues have been fixed. I purchased the deluxe game in April 2020 while on sale but never got around to playing it till April ‘21. I have to say this game is absolutely great.

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

    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.
