    Game is incredible. Graphics are great. I like the level design, enemies, and weapons way better than Doom 2016. The game really takes you to some incredible locations. The gameplay is the best in any game I’ve ever played. You will see in other reviews that the dash,double jump, and poles ruin the game. This is not true in the slightest. They make the game better and enhance gameplay. TheGame is incredible. Graphics are great. I like the level design, enemies, and weapons way better than Doom 2016.

This is not true in the slightest. They make the game better and enhance gameplay. The Archvile and Pain Elementals make a return along with some new enemies like the Whiplash. It is unlike any game I have ever played. It is a call back to the old games in every way. The super shotgun is just too good!!! The Easter Eggs in this game are really cool. The story is pretty good too. If your not into story then you can skip the cut scenes and just slaughter demons. If story is super important to you, then great. Also why are so many reviewers complaining about jumping. It is not rocket science. THIS game is better than Doom 2016 in every way. It is my favorite game of all time. The Doom Slayer is possibly the most bad ass protagonist in video game history. Honestly the game is all about gameplay, exterminating demons, and looking cool while doing it. This is a must buy.… Expand

    Love the game, but there is one thing that gets me. Where DOOM 2016 was all about rampaging through hordes of demons this game has a lot more platforming and story based cut-scenes. That was not what I expected from the game, but it isn't a bad thing at all. DOOM Eternal is bigger, badder and different.

    Doom Eternal is one of the best FPS games I've ever played. With subtle aim assist and a variety of mobility options that complement each other, it easily takes the top spot.

The multiplayer was also a welcome addition to the game while somehow managing to have both the Slayer and the demons on equal footing. I highly recommend getting this game!… Expand

    Good direction of the DOOM series.
    The start was fast, though the rune upgrades came a bit late - it felt like a slow grind until I got the movement speed upgrades.
    But from there on it was a blessing to finally play an actual video game after many years, and it was like that for the most part.

    Have played Doom games since the 90's. Loved all of them, excepting Doom 3 - what were they thinking! Then came this. I am a casual gamer I admit but have, over the years, put in many hours with previous Doom FPS. Found this one too difficult even on the easiest setting. Not enough ammo or health to survive for more than a couple of minutes.

After a bit of hesitation I picked Doom Eternal and tried my luck. The game is very solid, looks incredibly good and the soundtrack is awesome as ever. I like the try on creating a more dense and indepth game world around the doom slayer.

    Execution-wise D.E. feels like a mix of Doom 2016 and Q3A. They finally incoporated all the fast paced mechanics and induced it with the Doom world. The beginning feels very harsh and can be bothering for newcomers. After you geared up a bit and know the mechanics and the gameplay cycles its getting way better but stay intense. I only played it on Hurt me plenty, but it felt the appropriate mix of challenge and fun.

    Some of the mechanics feel a bit overused and unnecessary. I m no fan of the huge section where you have to jump, grab, transfer and crawl around. Some are really frustrating for me and I feel it could be very painful for beginners. Weapon masteries are okay-ish same goes to challenges. With a bit of exploration and patience you will be maxed out around level 10/13 which feels good. The game feels hard to handle on console because you enemies are rock, paper, scissors-like on the equivalent weapons. So you have to switch around a lot and in between kill fodder for replenish of armor and ammo. This could ve been reduced a little bit I feel in general.

    The weapons are fun, levels are huge, intense and also interesting in design. I liked them a lot. Playtime is pretty long for campaign only with around 15hrs. Performance on my PS4 Pro with SSD was outstanding. I had one bluescreen, the rest was fine, no bugs at all. Graphics are really good and loading times were quick.

    I want to give this game a 9 but it only deserves 8 points because of said shortcomings. Some enemies and game loops are obviously not optimized for consoles which is a bit sad. Maybe they can enhance this a bit in a successor and lower the grind-gunplay. Then this game would be a 9-10 for me.    … Expand

    Simply better than Doom 2016. I like games where I have to closely manage myself and use everything at my disposal to overcome situations. Doom Eternal does exactly that, sort of like a survival-action game if that makes sense. The game is just an absolute power fantasy you feel like the most bad ass guy around. People bash the game for lots of things but none of them feels justified. MostSimply better than Doom 2016.

The game is just an absolute power fantasy you feel like the most bad ass guy around. People bash the game for lots of things but none of them feels justified. Most of them just hate it for being different from 2016. You see in 2016 about the only challenge in the game was the damage the enemies dished out, you basically never ran out of ammo so you could just pick a weapon and blow through the game with it. You had the chainsaw to replenish your ammo if need be but you never had to because the levels were littered with ammo health and armor. That's not to say that I didn't like it, it's just that eternal just flat out better in every regard, the levels have way less resources so you absolutely need to use everything you have to win and the game throws twice the amount of enemies at you to deal with . It's also much more video-gamey in a sense that there are lots of retro elements in it. Like all sorts of hazards that you have to navigate, platforming sections and extra lives to collect. It's much more colourful, and the overall aspect of the game is more like a cool 90s action cartoon, just with gallons of blood. It's much more story heavy it expands upon the lore that was in 2016 but not in a way that would come in expense of gameplay its really well balanced. It seems that the people at id software sat down and said "you know what let's make f*cking videogame, not a cinematic experience, no, an awesome videogame." And that is what it feels like to play Eternal, a really cool and very challenging game. Some players are complaining about a certain enemy that ruins the flow of the game... I have no idea why they feel this way. Every enemy presents a unique challenge that you constantly need to be aware of and deal with them accordingly. It feels very polished and everything serves a purpose. I absolutely understand what Id software tried to accomplish with this game, and they nailed it. If you thought that doom 2016 was good but something was just amiss, then Eternal will be right up your alley. I will not give it a perfect score because there are some minor gripes I had with the game, like some glory kills would not register correctly so I had to replay a level so I can complete the level challenge and one or two weapons or weapon mods are just not that interesting to play around with but that could be a personal issue. All in all Doom Eternal is just a flat out good time. 9/10… Expand

    Doom Eternal is the best shooter ever made, do not believe the 0's. Brutal, fun, perfect gameplay, stunning level and art design and it also helps that it's by far the best looking game created to date. The smoothness will make you think you're already on the next generation of consoles.

    It took everything that doom 2016 introduced, made it bigger and better and introduced superb movement mechanics. Not only that, but it feels like a proper sequel, that doesn't pamper newbies like 2016 had to. This is what Quake was meant to be back in the 90s, a supreme followup to Doom.

    Un juego frenético donde tienes que tener una buena estrategia de ataque,un sistema de combate que es dinámico y que a pesar de que tenga la esencia de doom original este es brutal y mejor que la mayoría de shooters actuales y que los que vienen para la próxima generación, una gran versión del juego que a pesar que no se ve como la versión de PC esta a mas 30 fps.
    RECOMENDADO.
