    One of my favorite Bethesda games of all time due to its gore and its heavy metal.

    Gone is the chaotic randomized onslaught of the previous Doom title. This games drills you hard in asset management, weapon and mod switching, and harvesting lesser demons for the resource you need at the moment. It may seem tedious or hard to learn at first, but once you get it, the game becomes easy flowing and immensely rewarding.

    This long time gamer is happy to see that three decades since their first FPS, id can still deliver an experience that feels fresh. The key to not becoming an old dog is looking forward to new tricks.    … Expand

    I am an experienced FPS player, I have been playing FPS games my while life. I played on normal difficulty and still got my ass handed to me every 10 minutes, and it was worse in the Expansion packs. Definitely a good game to play to sharpen skills and focus on key combos. Go ahead, Rip and Tear, until it is done.

    One of if not my favourite game of all time, the replayable value is amazing and for a single player game within a week I gathered a hundred hours on it trying to complete it in ultra nightmare no criticism of it other than the multiplayer which is quiet bland but other than that it is worth buying.

    Considero que este juego hasta ahora es uno de los mejores que he probado en mi vida, lástima que el segundo DLC de The Ancient Gods me dejara con un poco disgustado, por otra parte, el resto de jugabilidad, gráfico y demás están en una posición increíblemente insuperable.

    DOOM Eternal takes everything that made DOOM (2016) great and enhances every aspect of it. I have been playing through the DLC's on nightmare and it is absolutely brutal. The difficulty is intense and fast paced and your controls and mechanics all synergize so perfectly to keep you alive and slaying no matter what obstacle you are facing. The base game is fantastic with a lot of    10/10

The base game is fantastic with a lot of secrets and parkour puzzles as well as the normal demon dismembering chaos.

    For gods sake you get ammo back by using a chainsaw on your enemies.. how can you get more badass than that? The soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard from any piece of entertainment whether it be a video game/movie/tv show ect.

    I can not recommend enough, I am almost done with the first DLC and I cant wait to finish the second!    … Expand

    Doom Eternal is all around good. It has great enemy design, weapons, pacing, music and level design. It a game that embraces creativity. You find what weapons and combos work best for you. It a really fun action shooter.

    I love this game the graphics are amazing, the glory kills are expanded if you can get this game I recommend it so much! The only thing wrong with this game is that some of the bosses are surprisingly easy the most times your gonna die is when your overwhelmed and getting some special glory kills are kinda hard to get, such as a "back" glory kill on a tyrant is really weird, but those areI love this game the graphics are amazing, the glory kills are expanded if you can get this game I recommend it so much!

    If you're looking for a game where you are the demon king... this is the game for you. Its like halo, where the grunts run from you in terror, except you you also rip enemies arms off and shove them back down their throat mortal combat style. 10/10.

    Full Thoughts:
    Doom Eternal is the best feeling and designed first person shooter that I have probably ever played. The combat has immense depth to it while maintaining the simplicity of move and shoot. The combat of the game has taken everything about what made Doom 2016 a fantastic game and ramped it up to 11. No longer do you simply sprint around the battlefield and arbitrarily shoot demons until they die but not each weapon has a unique purpose in efficiently dealing with a specific demon. Id has turned the fast paced action and turned it into a unique puzzle that you most likely wont find in another game. The game has so much depth and fantastic replayability. The multiplayer isnt fantastic but is a fun unique arena shooter experience in its own right. I have completed the base game with defeating all 6 slayer gates and completed both DLC's. I have gotten nothing but euphoria from this game and each challenge is difficult and thrilling.

    What Holds the Game Back:
    This is not a casual game at all. If you are looking for something that you can sit back and not really pay attention to this game is not for you. Additionally, the game is very unforgiving on its difficulty you will not complete this game without putting a good amount of focus and effort into. You have to learn the combat systems and learn how to move, shoot, and glorykill very efficiently.

    Closing Remarks:
    A perfect score does not mean a perfect game. My scoring of a 10/10 reflects that this game is the shining gold standard of its genre. In the future I will compare almost every shooter I play to Doom Eternal. This game sets the bar high for what can be achieved in first person shooters in our day and age and I'm very excited for what Id will cook up now that they are finished with the story of the slayer.    … 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.
