    Tocando el olimpo en su genero actualmente. Un shooter frenetico que todos deberian jugar. Me parece un juego sobresaliente.

    Juegazo!! El mejor Doom hasta la fecha!! La campaña dura bastante y está currado hasta el más mínimo detalle...eso si, es un juego exigente pero a la vez gratificante!

    This game has a learning curve that I had to master, but after that, I had a blast with this game.

    I thought this game was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good.

Each enemy type having specific strengths and weaknesses. And I must say: they succeeded. This idea came through beautifully in the finished product! And it wasn't    I thought this game was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good.

    1) Combat

    The developers have stated again and again in interviews that they want this game to elicit similar strategies to a game of chess. Each enemy type having specific strengths and weaknesses. And I must say: they succeeded. This idea came through beautifully in the finished product!

    And it wasn't just the enemies. The Slayer's moveset had some more strategy put in as well! Most notable is the lack of ammo in your reserves. You have very little ammo in this game and you're constantly running out. However, this actually comes off as a plus. Why? Because it gives you the opportunity to unleash your chainsaw on the closest demon fodder! What's more, is that your chainsaw fuel constantly recharges on it's own (and rather quickly too) so you'll never be without ammo if you play your cards right.

    2) Style Change

    There's been a slight, but very noticeable, style shift from the last Doom game. Its surprisingly silly and cartoony, and I'm kinda into it. A lot more Demon punching slapstick. Plus, the ammo/health pickups greatly resemble the original, magical, floating Doom pickups, giving it a more cartoony/fantasy vibe. A bit of an adjustment from Doom (2016), but all in the service of making the game more arcade fun.

    And a bit of a side note: Eternal is a whole lot more colorful, and I totally dig it.

    3) Exploration / Level Pacing

    In Doom (2016), my biggest problem with the game was that the levels were a slog to get through. This was mostly caused by the fact that I was constantly switching between a combat mindset and an exploration mindset. I'd complete a combat encounter, then explore the area for collectables. This slowed the game down to a crawl.

    In Eternal, this isn't a problem. I can safely skip all the collectables in a level and focus on the combat. Why? Because of the simple addition of fast travel; unlocked near the end of each level. Once I reach the end of a level, I can fast travel back to key sections and find everything I need to make my inner collector happy!

    And if you don't care about searching the level for weapon upgrades, you can skip exploration entirely! You're awarded these through combat challenges as well. So don't worry if you're not into playing hide n' seek with collectables.

    4) Story

    Probably the most divisive part of the game are the prominince of the story and cutscenes. Not to worry! If you're not into that, they aren't essential to you're enjoyment, and they're completely skippable. (Except for the opening 30 seconds, but it's not story based or anything like that.)

    Of course, if you're like me, you will be very interested to see where the story goes. There's a whole lotta story beats involving the Slayer's past that I think y'all will like. I certainly did. Anyways, its kept rather vague, so if you want to know everything, better bust out those Codex entries.

    However, if you're not interested at all in the story there are still some Codex entries you might get a kick out of! Take a look at "History of the Sentinals - Part IX" (Last 2 Paragraphs), "History of the Sentinals - Part XIV" (All of It), and "Super Shotgun" (Last Paragraph). All of those are pretty badass.

    5) Summary

    The only thing keeping it from a 10/10 are some minor nitpicks. This game is amazing and I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    DOOM ETERNAL is a very dynamic and interesting game, it keeps you on your toes all the time, the world in which the action takes place is well revealed, a wide range of weapons, from the usual shotgun to the destructive BFG, it is very pleasant to shoot.

Perfectly made demons, pieces of their flesh are scattered on the battlefield and it looks really spectacular. The plot is related to the previous parts, but even without playing them, you can figure out what's what as the game progresses. There are many customization options available: costumes for the main character, victory poses, introductions, coloring books for weapons. The multiplayer component is done well, a lot of interesting mechanics, we are given to play for 5 different demons and it is very interesting. Demons can also be customized. At the same time, the game is not perfect, I encountered a couple of unpleasant bugs that made me go through some levels, and sometimes even the entire game.… Expand

    This game is like a fine double tall cocktail on a friday night. Over the top gameplay that allows good players to be good, and yet remains accessible to newbies is a testament of quality from our boys and girls over at id. I can't wipe the dumb childish grin off my face that this game cultivates, and I dont want to.

    This is a great FPS experience that I recommend to anybody who wants to challenge themselves. Graphics are incredible. The game runs so well I never encountered frame drops on my PC playthrough. Parkour is okay but not great. Combat is better than ever.

    Shooting is very satisfying. The platforming was a nice touch. There was no point where I felt like I was stuck or tired of platforming. The environments are also really good. Fantastic game overall, played on ps4

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally, I really love this game. Enemies look like the old design from older doom titles are very good and I like the cartoonist but very gore. The game is a little easy but fair. Now the map in the campaign is very cool. I love the environment from hell on earth to Urdak, look very heavy metal. getting collectibles is very cool and upgrading predator suit can be very rewarding stuff like if you collect 14 cheat code and upgrade suit you get to play doom 1993.

    but anyway the gameplay is fantastic. I love the dash mechanic in this game. you can dash your way to dodge any demon attack and the weapons are very good. getting ammo and armor is pretty easy when you find them on the ground in the map or you can use the chainsaw to slash enemies like Zombies, Possessed soldier, Imps, etc. I love the wall climbing parts, very easy. I also love the new enemies like Marauder, Doom hunter, Gladiator, and Whiplash. their interesting and make it challenging in a fun way. Not much about Carcass, he's very easy to kill by getting around his shields. he more like an Overwatch character that was supposed to be in the game but cut because the developer didn't put time or didn't they put effort. Anyway But the Final boss I the most like is the Icon of sin. I really love that now it is finally real and not in texture like doom 2. I can finally beat him. As I said, he looks very real. I like secret encounters. also about the Marauder, I like him. he follows the rules other enemies do and goes on an offensive hard. he uses his shield when you attack him too early and he attacks you in a long-range of you try to use any long-range. I forgot one thing he summons dog if you attack other enemies. so attack when he is close and when he attacks.
    Also, love the Soundtrack. Doom series is also famous for its music with heavy metal. the Chrous is, let's say very heavy metal. I'm not being sarcastic.

    Now Battlemode, which is basically 1v2 battle. slayer vs 2 monsters. it was alright. but I miss snap maps from Doom 2016. if you don't know Snap maps, its a feature from doom 2016 where you can create a map or visit other player maps.

    I know battle mode is short, but that's all I got. but another thing I like is that you can custom doomguy with skins, and gestures and taunts. and you can also custom skin from weapons.
    Overall that Game is Perfect like Doom 2016 and a very great sequel.    … Expand

    Imaginative, creative, gorgeous. Combat has been expanded vertically in comparison to DOOM 2016 and is more arcade type.

    Este juego lo tiene todo, encima sin perder la esencia de los antiguos DOOM, su ambientación, su movilidad, su historia, su excelente música, la complejidad de algunos de los enemigos. Sin duda un grandioso candidato a juego del año 2020. Enhorabuena a Bethesda por este increible juego. Me agrada saber que uno de los padres de los shooters este en tan buenas manos.

    killing demons feels more satisfying then ever, glory kills got better, demons got bigger, amazing. some people might not like the jumping part but i think it's a nice filler instead of just walking around. 10/10

    Игра замечательная, но из-за того что комп слабый, на минимальных настройках графики иногда были фризы. Но если не считать недостатков моего ПК, убивать врагов, продумывая свой следующий шаг, чтобы сделать это более эффективней, очень интересно и и просто круто.Игра замечательная, но из-за того что комп слабый, на минимальных настройках графики иногда были фризы.

    Doom Eternal (aka Doom 2 aka Doom 5) is the sequel to Doom 4 (2016) and it brings everything you like about the 2016 game and does it even better in every way possible. I normally don’t pay attention to the story in a doom game, but the story this time around really interested me (even tho the gameplay was better). But to me, I felt that the 2016 game felt a little more badass imo.
