    A good shooter, but worse than the first part of 2016. It is sad that when playing a shooter you can’t play enough, a generally dubious solution to the restriction of ammunition. But it's still worth playing.

    Я как то писал про игру Doom 2016 и поражался как разработчики смогли создать такую увлекательную игру основанную буквально на одном геймплее, в которой практически отсутствовал сюжет. При том это было сделано без Кармака. Тогда я ещё сказал, что бы Doom Eternal стал лучше, разработчикам надо сотворить чудо. И........... На мой взгляд это им не удалось!

    Я как то писал про игру Doom 2016 и поражался как разработчики смогли создать такую увлекательную игру основанную буквально на одном геймплее, в которой практически отсутствовал сюжет. При том это было сделано без Кармака. Тогда я ещё сказал, что бы Doom Eternal стал лучше, разработчикам надо сотворить чудо. И........... На мой взгляд это им не удалось!
    Первую часть я буквально пролетел за пару заходов. А Doom Eternal проходил....6 месяцев. И даже не знаю в чем дело. Наверное в том, что игра на 99% вторична. Играть в неё сейчас просто скучно.
    Но всё по порядку. Начну с того, что игра выглядит, ощущается как оригинал четырехлетней давности. Да добавили пушку на плечо и кошку к супер обрезу, но пушка полное говно (я думал, что будет как у хищника, но нет), стреляет чёрти как, пока сдетонируют гранаты монстры разбегутся, эффективна может быть против тихоходных тварей, есть ещё огонь, но он нужен только для выбивания брони. При том она перезаряжается секунд 60. А крюк-кошка нужна только в определенных местах, подтягиваться к врагам смысла нет так как через 0.1 секунды враг сам прибежит к тебе.
    Ещё разработчики усложнили геймплей. Монстры стали сильней и жирней, и даже на лёгком уровне они более упругие чем в Doom 2016 на среднем.
    Тем более к концу игры авторы практически перестали выдавать боеприпасы на аренах, а взрывные бочки из которых можно их выбить исчезают где то после 8ой миссии. Так что пополнить боезапас можно только бензопилой, а её ещё зарядить надо. Поэтому после той же восьмой миссии иногда просто приходилось самоубиваться об какого нибуть импа, так как остаётся только удар рукой, а он в этой игре бесполезен опять таки если не заряжен.
    Да, появиляется супер меч, но заряды для него тоже очень ограничины и вместо кровавого экстаза на экране получается тоска. Зарядов то нет!
    Может кому-то мазохизм на экране нравится, мне нет. Я хочу веселиться, а меня заставляют страдать. В Doom я чувствовал себя суперменом, а в Doom Eternal Фродо Бэггинсом который должен всю игру бегать от врагов. Может игра рассчитана на кооп? Тогда можно было бы объяснть сложность, но это не так. Авторы просто сделали врагов более жирными и сильными.
    Как по мне чуда из игры не вышло.
    Нам обещали сногсшибающую графику, переработанный геймплей, крепкий сюжет. На PS4 графика точно та же, что и в 2016м, как я говорил геймплей почти не изменился, по мне так стал даже хуже, сюжет.....м даа.
    Поиграв в игру час я просто не хотел в неё возвращаться. И так в течение полугода. Да игру прошел, так как купил цифровую версию иначе продал бы, но это не доставило мне удовольствия. Жаль!

    O melhor FPS da geração. Jogo extremamente frenético, com uma variedade muito boa de armas e inimigos para se matar. Muito mais ágil que seu antecessor, mundos maiores para se explorar e trilha sonora andando com a gameplay, recomendo fortemente para qualquer pessoa que curta jogo de tiro em primeira pessoa.

    Dommage par contre que le portage sur console ne soit pas au top, le jeu est trop lent comparé à la version PC et ça le rend encore plus dur qu'il n'est. Dommage aussi que le ton du jeu ne soit pas à la hauteur du Doom 2016 qui ne se prenait délicieusement pas au sérieux.

    Le coté plateformer m'a vraiment désarçonné au début mais au final, j'ai adoré ces phases qui permettent de calmer et de rythmer parfaitement le jeu.

    Overall, pretty fun! Engaging graphics. The controls and gameplay are simple yet nuanced. Soundtrack is fitting.

    My biggest complaint at the moment (while I'm still slogging my way through the campaign with occasional frustration) is that there are very clearly platforms I should be able to land on to reach hidden areas that the developers just block off with invisible walls. Like... I get you intended for me to go a different way, but you could've just planned your levels so that it doesn't have so many misleading jumps; I shouldn't be pretty sure I figured something out, only for an invisible wall to reject me into a pit... more than once in a level, I might add. I could stand on a moving platform that I would assume sends me to a secret when I cause it to change direction... Instead I get reloaded on the ground floor. I could try jumping towards some very clear horizontal swing jumps... It counts me as out-of-bounds mid-jump and damages me. For a game that's part platformer, I don't think that aspect really holds up on it's own.

    As someone highly invested in level design, it seems kind of lazy to keep blocking off areas I should otherwise be able to reach if the platforms were just rendered to match their physical appearance. There is such a thing as a natural flow to a level, and the developers seem to rely way too heavily on just putting up walls and boundaries in places to keep forcing level designs to work. The Doom game from 2016 had impressive maps where I really had to think out my route in order to come across secrets; Applying that level of care to this game often makes me feel like I'm overthinking and wasting time. It kind of feels like they're just putting me in a playground with a coat of hellish paint over it. I mean, it works to an extent; It's just not the most immersive Doom game I've played.

    While the level design isn't awful as a whole, it can be a bit disappointing that a lot of the most visually pleasing aspects of levels are areas you probably won't ever reach or interact with, whereas the maps consist of a lot of deathmatch-type areas connected by platforming that comes off as somewhat rigid due to the detection of the environment. Overall, this contrast of gameplay dynamics seems a bit less fluent than in the last game, with the closed off rooms getting repetitive kind of early.

    Overall, Doom (2016) was slightly better. This is still worth getting if you played that game and want another, though. Not particularly disappointing, but not really groundbreaking, either. Kind of just more of the same, but at least they didn't mess up a working formula.

In Doom Eternal he has green hair too, Cacodemon has blue blood and other refs to original Doom.

    DOOM will always be DOOM don't need to change anything about the game loved the increased speed, gameplay is great as always it's a great game to release all your anger into it with smashing and blowing up demons but one thing I hope they add in the future is that I would love to see a DOOM coop campaign mode or just a survival mode but overall the game is awesome

    Was great, but felt way too short. There was a deeper sense of exploration in the first one that was great. I don't know, maybe the pacing was off. Something didn't feel as good as the first. Maybe in my old age I'm getting tired of games trying to enchant by throwing everything at you. It just gets boring after awhile, but you do end up wanting to come back.

    One thing that Doom 2016 absolutely nailed was that you are Doom Guy, you’re there to kill, and nothing else matters. All other details, including atmosphere, lighting and music, came together in harmony to truly bring Doom back, and establish it as a modern day masterpiece.

    One thing that Doom 2016 absolutely nailed was that you are Doom Guy, you’re there to kill, and nothing else matters. All other details, including atmosphere, lighting and music, came together in harmony to truly bring Doom back, and establish it as a modern day masterpiece.

    Unfortunately for Doom Eternal, nearly every aspect of this has been scaled back in quality. Immediately we are immersed into a story driven narrative that nobody asked for or wanted. Weapons have been balanced dramatically altering their effectiveness, and ammo is now much more scarce in an effort to make the game feel more strategic. Pacing is out the window, as most of your abilities and upgrades are provided immediately. The music is a huge letdown, due to the failed attempts of Mick Gordon to execute his deadlines on time. The whole game is now very platform based and arcade like.

    While still a respectable shooter with lots of good things going for it, this is not the Doom series that re-emerged this generation.

Apart that we are in 2020 and we finally have a game that offers a good artificial intelligence, deceitful and aggressive. The gameplay during the fights is frankly fun however we would have done without phases of funny platforms for five minutes but which become very heavy in the long run. Otherwise the sensations are almost the same as in 2016 and that's what makes it hard for me to do better than Doom 2016. There aren't really big differences between the two games and it's that's what disappoints me a lot, apart from the new sublime music and the new weapons I haven't really seen much difference except I expected much more ... But otherwise yes, Doom Eternal is a good game and it will please any nag or fan of FPS Expand

    Doom eternal is an 'ok' game if you want something braindead to waste time. If you are looking for an interesting, thought consuming, game then do not play this game. The gameplay is repetitive and tedious at best.

    Doom Eternal is Doom, but better in almost every single way. Doom Eternal’s biggest accomplishment is somehow giving you more options on how to approach each encounter. If you liked Doom (2016) then you are definitely going to enjoy this.

    This game is amazing.

    Instead of in most FPS games, where you play as... a army man, in doom, you play as this badass green guy who goes to hell and slices demons in half with a gun that is also a chainsaw. It’s just way more unique than other FPS games. This also is reflected in the gameplay. In games like call of duty, what you do is find some cover, shoot some guys, find more cover

    Instead of in most FPS games, where you play as... a army man, in doom, you play as this badass green guy who goes to hell and slices demons in half with a gun that is also a chainsaw. It’s just way more unique than other FPS games. This also is reflected in the gameplay. In games like call of duty, what you do is find some cover, shoot some guys, find more cover ahead, and repeat. In doom, you are jumping all over the map, getting in demon’s faces, and just absolutely demolishing them. It does a service to the classic doom games that pioneered the first person shooter genre while not dwelling on the past. It’s just a super fun game. I’d recommend anyone to get this game, but I personally think the best way to play it is on the PC version, with a controller, with gyro aiming. (Not as much the switch version though. That one has gyro aiming built in, but it probably runs like crap, because it’s the switch version)
