    So according to most of the SOY BOYS the game should be easier and having saves and ammo all over the place? What would be the point in dying in the game? DO YOU WANT A WALKING SIMULATOR? Go play Animal Crossing or some NINTENDO and leave this to the grown ups. The ammo system is just fine. If you played Doom before you know how to get it. The chainsaw pretty much refills your ammo.So according to most of the SOY BOYS the game should be easier and having saves and ammo all over the place? What would be the point in dying in the game? DO YOU WANT A WALKING SIMULATOR? Go play Animal Crossing or some NINTENDO and leave this to the grown ups. The ammo system is just fine. If you played Doom before you know how to get it. The chainsaw pretty much refills your ammo. If you do a glory kill which is freaking easy you get health. I died just a few times in this game. I don't know what else do you guys want from an old school fast pace. I think any difficulty other than Nightmare in this game is a piece of cake. The atmosphere is awesome too. All the lore about the secret bases from the government gives us immersion too. This game is 10/10 to me. All the negative reviews from these delicate kids makes me wanna puke. Everyone is entitled to your own opinion, but, if you're playing a hardcore game full of graphic violence you shouldn't expect for SOY MOMENTS. Period!… Expand

    2016s Doom was brilliant in its own right. A quite simple, fast paced gore-fest challenging your movement-aiming skills to the max. A contemporary return to DOOMs very roots.

    This one is different and adds to the formula with extensive tactics. Every arena, every enemy requires certain weapons, skills & kill-shortcuts. All executed in the right sequence while constantly moving and jumping in the right patterns. Plus: placing glory kills and chainsaw-fatalities to refill life and ammo. And despite all that complexity it is even faster than its predecessor.

    Doom eternal can be frustrating at times and has a steep learning curve. But those who are willing to learn and master its demanding mechanics will experience a demon-slaying-flow intense and rewarding like no other FPS-experience before. And finally feel like the fcking DOOM-guy himself.

    SHOOTER OF THE DECADE: Sublime, gore, fantastic, frenetic.

    Must play!! Some users are giving low ratings because they just can' handle all the madness this great game delivers. To enjoy it and get the most of it you need to have some skills.

    An incredible shoter, packed with extreme action, speed, violence and exquisite gameplay. The game requires split second reaction times to survive the endless barrage of enemies, requiring the player to use all the tools at his/her disposal, making these one of the most tactical, fast paced, mechanically-complex FPS i've played, with very hgh production values and amazing art direction and music.

    There’s a cliché phrase that gets repeated to death often: “you can’t beat the classics.” I find this quite to be not only overused, but just plain tedious, and I tend to flip it around by saying, “can’t beat the classics, so let’s make new ones.” id Software seems to really understand that: their ever-popular “DOOM” franchise is one of gaming’s classics, and is one of the most iconic andThere’s a cliché phrase that gets repeated to death often: “you can’t beat the classics.” I find this quite to be not only overused, but just plain tedious, and I tend to flip it around by saying, “can’t beat the classics, so let’s make new ones.” id Software seems to really understand that: their ever-popular “DOOM” franchise is one of gaming’s classics, and is one of the most iconic and well-known franchises in the history of gaming. While I recently went back to play the first two “DOOM” games and felt that they showed a bit of their age, both are still very enjoyable and I can totally understand why “DOOM” is considered a classic. In 2016, id Software decided to revitalize the series with their “DOOM” reboot, which was a massive hit: I would even go as far as to call 2016’s “DOOM” one of the best shooters in recent memory, and easily one of the best FPS titles of this generation. So, when “DOOM Eternal” was announced, my hype was through the roof: sure, Bethesda has been on a bit of a cold-streak with games like “Fallout 76,” “Rage 2” and “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” receiving reviews that ranged from mixed to extremely negative, but a part of me had a feeling that “DOOM Eternal” would be the shot in the arm Bethesda needed. And sure enough, it is: dare I say, for as much as I just praised the last “DOOM” game, “DOOM Eternal” actually stands even taller and not only lives up to the last entry, but even surpasses it (no easy task indeed).
    “DOOM Eternal” retains a lot of what made 2016’s “DOOM” work so well: it’s extremely faithful to the legacy of the “DOOM” franchise, yet still featuring plenty to entice gamers that may have never experienced the classic “DOOM” games. I also appreciate a lot of the game’s references to “DOOM II,” with the return of a number of enemies and gameplay ideas that propped up in that game, making this almost feel like a “DOOM II” for a new generation. That said, while “DOOM II” to me felt a bit like “DOOM More” compared to the first “DOOM,” “DOOM Eternal” doesn’t feel like that: the game makes several great changes and adds a number of new things to the gameplay that help it feel even better than the last one. The gameplay is even faster than before, the gunplay remains as smooth as ever, with a lot of weapons receiving fantastic upgrades that make them even more fun to use, there are several new weapons that are extremely fun to use, and the level design is even tighter than before. 2016’s “DOOM” already had some great level design to it, but I feel like “DOOM Eternal” comes through with some even more varied levels and areas, and they’re a pleasure to explore. The game also relies on platforming quite a bit, something the original “DOOM II” also did, but here, I think the platforming is smooth and controls well, and it feels more layered than “DOOM” games of the past. Visually, the game is still an absolute stunner, with some of the best graphics out there today, the soundtrack is still a blast, the combat is even more tense than before, and there’s a nice added challenge to the game, even if you play it on the lower difficulties like I did. The campaign is also a rip-roaring good time that feels even beefier than before, and getting to play as the demons themselves is a fantastic concept that’s executed very well.
    I honestly can’t think of too many problems I had with the game. I know some critics have felt that some of the additions to the arsenal felt a bit overwhelming to manage, but to me, I totally enjoyed that, and I think a lot of the new additions, like the flamethrower, rechargeable chainsaw, dash button, and climbing ability, just motivated me even more to want to learn the game. In terms of other flaws…maybe the excitement that the game provides might make you headbang so hard that you get overly-excited and give yourself a nosebleed? Yeah, that’s the best I’ve got.
    All in all, “DOOM Eternal” rises above its already-fantastic predecessor and continues to establish why the new “DOOM” games belong in a first-person shooter masterclass. “DOOM Eternal” pushes the series forward in meaningful ways, and honestly might even stand tall as the best entry in the franchise (I still have a few “DOOM” games to play, so talk to me about that later, but as of right now, “DOOM Eternal” is my favorite). Definitely give this game a shot, it’s well worth your time. With how much Bethesda has slumped as of late, leave it to id Software to pick up the pieces of their struggles and make something that’ll hopefully breathe some new life into the company. Whether or not they improve as a result is yet to be seen, but at least we can safely say “DOOM Eternal” will definitely be one of this year’s best games, and one of the best shooters of this generation of gaming.

What a journey it was. I have to give the developers major props for creating this masterpiece. Not only is the game epic in scope, it gives you way more bang for your buck than almost any other title out there! You seriously get your money's worth and I'm not even referencing the replay value, which is through the roof. The graphics are superb. The frenetic gameplay is superb. The soundtrack...is superb. I love every aspect of this game-including the new "platform-type-gameplay" in certain areas which really encourages the exploration aspects. I bought Doom 2016 and thought it was a good game. Doom Eternal annhiliates that predecessor in every possible way!

I played on my FAT PS4, and I was very afraid of the game melt my console with it's graphics, but then I got a very well optimized game. The only thing that broke a little the pace for me was the fact that they always take off the controls to show where a door is open and where to go, and the fact that in some elevators you can't move nor change weapons, just look around; that is not a thing to put in a Doom game, but nothing that breaks the fabulous game id software gave to us. The multiplayer may looks a let let down, but is a great and fun experience too. I don't miss a deathmatch, sice I got Quake champions for my PC, but I really want QC for consoles, this way they can give a complete multiplayer experience for the fans. Finally I would like to thank id Software to give me this beast. Play it dudes, every way you want you to play.… Expand

Grabbing onto a wall then dashing over to the monkey bars to find a secret is very satisfying, and the improved movement leads to more creative battles and platforming segments. Some might be turned off by the platforming, but for me, it’s a great improvement and helps with the pacing a ton. The combat is fast, visceral, and challenging. The addition of the chainsaw charging for ammo drops was great because it encourages an even faster pace. A genius gameplay loop has been created within this game: chainsaw for ammo, fire belch for armor, and glory kill for health. This is fantastic because the game encourages you to use your movement to traverse the battle arenas looking for fodder to increase one of your dwindling supplies.

    Overall/TL;DR DOOM: Eternal is quite the masterpiece in terms of FPS campaigns. Pacing is excellent, platforming is excellent, combat is the best Id has crafted, and the secrets less tedious than DOOM (2016). I would rate this game a high 9.
