    Probably the most fun single player fps campaign out there right now.
    Quick switching and mastering weapon combos and tactics makes the game immensely replayable and in-depth.

    Hard to aim at times between all the gore and headbanging to the soundtracks.
    Solved by bringing a bigger gun!

    If you like fast paced shooters that give you incredible feelings of flow, then look no further than Doom Eternal!
    If you're not used to shooters, it can seem a little crazy at times but it is so worth getting used too! Def one of my top games of the last year!

    Even if you've finished Doom 2016, Doom Eternal forces you to learn everything again, and make use of every tool in your disposal.

    You have to make use of your chainsaw, glory kill, and flame belch; DO NOT stay still, and switch weapons effectively. It might be a bit of hardcore at the beginning, but once you get the flow of the game, it's all become seamless.

    If you like feeling like a complete and udder badass making demons cry at the mere mention of your name, then get this game. However, one thing i must add is even though the game offers a very good challenge on its hardest difficulty, once you beat it you are basically done with the game. Its a one and done type of game however offers a very good experience.

    Ripping and tearing through demons in DOOM Eternal is a great time! The mix of platforming and combat is extremely well done, and I enjoy it a lot! The soundtrack gets you perfectly into the mood for wrenching off the heads of demons and punching through walls, and the overall sound design does a great job overall.

    Contrary to initial impressions, DOOM Eternal is not an action game; it is a puzzle game. Where a casual observer might watch high-level gameplay and only see the flurry of bullets and cacaphony of targets whizzing by the screen, the player sees a totally different picture.

Instead of just dodging, they're thinking about the order of    Contrary to initial impressions, DOOM Eternal is not an action game; it is a puzzle game. Where a casual observer might watch high-level gameplay and only see the flurry of bullets and cacaphony of targets whizzing by the screen, the player sees a totally different picture.

    Instead of just seeing targets, they see priorities. Instead of just dodging, they're thinking about the order of their actions, which resources to manage, how to most effectively keep them up, when to engage, when to run, and who to kill first. Every encounter is like a new puzzle to solve.

    Every arena consists of two categories of enemies; fodder, and heavies. Fodder enemies, typically imps, soldiers, and gargyoles, are hardly threats. They have small health pools, make little effort to dodge your attacks, and generally go down in a few small-arms shots. However, they serve a different purpose; they are easy prey to use your various resource-management abilities on. Use a glory kill on one to get health back, use a chainsaw to get ammo, or use the flame belch to get armor. Because these enemies are quick to kill, respawn indefinitely, and pose little threat, they exist not as targets, but as resource nodes to fall back on after running your guns dry, or getting low on health and armor. No; in a given arena, the real threat are the heavies.

    The heavies and super heavies are the real center of an arena. Unlike fodder, they have much larger health pools, more mobility, and generally much more dangerous attacks. The doomslayer's priority on entering any arena is killing the heavies as fast as possible. Doing so is not always so cut and dry; each heavy usually has a unique weakness or strategy to exploit, with which the doomslayer must respond to accordingly: cacodemons can be made to swallow a sticky bomb with precise timing, staggering them instantly; the hell knight has a particular weakness to the chaingun, making him falter more than any other weapon; and the most contentious enemy of all, the marauder, must be fought one-on-one in a very particular manner, countering his attacks and staying at a specific range. Taking all of this into account while fighting the heavies, as well as considering your ammo, health, and armor, and where the nearest fodder enemies are should you need to temporarily retreat and restock, makes up the bulk of the game's combat loop. Mess up once on nightmare, and you're a dead doomslayer.

    That's not to say you don't need a good base in FPS skill to play this game well; actually hitting your targets is just as important as knowing which targets to shoot. That skill floor might put off some less experienced fps players. But if you think you can handle it, the challenge DOOM Eternal presents is well worth it.    … Expand

    Like DOOM 2016, but way better with more depth. It is also self-aware that it's a videogame and has graphic style more similar to original games. If you like FPS games, this is a must-have.

    First DOOM I've played, the gunplay in this game is nuts. To be expected, but still quite the experience.

    Mick Gordon did a stellar job as well with the music.
