    Its not a classic shooter in the vein of the original doom, marathon, quake etc. Its a serious sam style arena shooter and I've seen that done better before, the gunplay is rather lackluster, the weapon upgrades just blur the lines between various weapons in a player's inventory, the story is awful and completely at odds with the overall feel of doom's 1, 2 and 64, the survival horrorIts not a classic shooter in the vein of the original doom, marathon, quake etc. Its a serious sam style arena shooter and I've seen that done better before, the gunplay is rather lackluster, the weapon upgrades just blur the lines between various weapons in a player's inventory, the story is awful and completely at odds with the overall feel of doom's 1, 2 and 64, the survival horror elements have been removed and what made doom guy so relatable as a character was that he was a lone marine struggling for survival against hordes of demons and the odds were against him, people who have either not played or did not put the work in to understand the originals will sometimes say otherwise but vulnerability was an essential trait of the doom guy and was an essential part of the first 2 game's overall feel. That Doom guy while he wielded a powerful arsenal of weapons was still very vulnerable was conveyed not only via slower paced tracks in the games soundtracks but also by the gameplay.

    In all the other Doom games, the Marine had to rely on health packs to heal himself, he was not just a psychopathic Demon killing machine who received fuel health via gruesome genocide(glory kills and gibs). This provided a layer of vulnerability to Doom guy and by extension the player because at the end of the day Doom guy is a pretty blank slated character who the player is meant to project himself onto. When you take away player vulnerability you remove and/or simply an element of strategy(health management) and it messes with the overall feel of the game, its rather hard to make a game scary and make players feel as though they are in danger and need to play methodically and exercise extreme caution when you have a health system that rewards you for murder and its also hard to project yourself onto a character whose only goal in life is to commit genocide against the demons who he hates. When a character is vulnerable and wants nothing more than to survive, accomplish his mission, and get out of the unfamiliar demon infested environment that he is in as soon as possible so he can put the whole thing behind him he's a lot more relate-able than a near-invincible psychopath.

    Combine this with the fact that the level design is not like that of a classic 3D maze shooter and is more like that of painkiller, the over-designed weapons, the fact that secrets are not as opinion as they were in the originals because on higher difficulties many of the upgrades WILL be mandatory, the map system that tells you where "secrets" are thereby undermining the very definition of the word, the overdeisgned and sometimes outright ugly weapons with models that take up too much of the screen, the 12 demon limit, the fact that its DRM(Denuvo) makes modding impossible and that snapmap is a lackluster level editor leaving much to be desired, and finally that the multiplayer is complete and utter garbage and you end up with a game that barely broke even because it didn't capture the essence of what its series was supposed to be about. The game may be called Doom but It clearly isn't, a more appropriate name would be Painkiler 2: Halo in Hell Edition. Its not that its a bad game, so much as it just didn't do what it should have done as a reboot(that is to say bring the games design concepts and the games overall feel into the 21st century) which isn't a surprise.

    I'm against reboots in general because their aim is almost always to use the brand recognition of the game that they are rebooting to sell a game that plays nothing like the original and trashes many if not all of its old design philosophies and concepts for new ones(and those new concepts are often objectively worse). They are for the most part, born of ill intentions and this is a fact that we as gamers should always keep in the forefront of our minds.

    I genuinely think this game deserves a 7 or so out of 10, note that that is an above average score, not one you give to bad games, but because I want to counter the huge internet wide circlejerk that obnoxious fanboys who probably watch black men have sex with their wives on a regular basis some of whom I know rate the game 10/10, I'm going to give it a low score.    … Expand

    Not a good FPS game.
    I returned it to the shop for two reasons: reason one is that killing demons in the campaign mode is too easy, repetitive and boring because A.I. is generally poor.
    Reason two is that I am not too keen on excessive jumping and climbing. Way too much jumping and climbing starts relatively early on in the foundry level. That level made me feel like playing a search and    Not a good FPS game.

As I learned from reviews that in some next level I was expected to jump and climb on moving platforms as well, I immediately quit the game.

The AI is stupid, and it's easy AF to not take damage. How you ask? Just keep moving. Seriously, if you just keep running and gunning constantly, then you will never get hit or take any damage at all. . . fml. Because of this, the harder difficulties are not hard at all. The AI doesn't get any smarter or use tactics or strategy of any kind (and hell you don't need to either). All harder difficulties do is turn the enemies into bigger bullet sponges who do more damage, but again, just keep moving and you'll be fine. In other words, all turning up the difficulty setting does is make it take longer to kill things instead of actually making the game harder. The only plus side to this game is that you aren't restricted to just two weapons, a primary and secondary. You can have and switch between all the weapons. Also, you have a self heal via "glory kill" which simply requires you to melee kill an enemy when they flash to get heals. You also have pretty much unlimited ammo in that when you are running low, all you have to do is chainsaw an enemy and out pops ammo for all your weapons. This game is the most casual piece of trash I have seen in a while. Would not recommend even in price drop. Don't bother.… Expand

This game is quite literally one of the worst games I have ever spent money on. "Fun, fast paced, old school..." and the superlatives keep flowing like water. What are people talking about? I've played all the DOOM games, and consider myself pretty hip on the franchise, but what is this drivel? This game is basically devoid of a story, the mobs are brainless and repetitive, and the pacing is mind numbing. Travel to this arena, slay **** move over here, slay some more **** oh and while you are at it, listening to this **** metal soundtrack we cooked up. The "glory kill" mechanic was sweet for around 5 minutes. I don't need perfection, but for sixty, hard earned dollars, I expected a little bit better than nonsense. So please go buy something else, for all that is good and holy. Unless, you really don't care about any of the listed complaints, then knock your socks off, but if you are used to AAA shooters, a decent campaign and MP mode, or maybe want a breathe of a story, then I assure you that DOOM is not for you. Lastly, if a title is lacking in campaign then it better have superior online multiplayer. If a title is lacking solid online multiplayer then it should at least have a superior campaign. DOOM does neither well...Seacrest out.… Expand

I feel like they purposely made the game very bare-bones and used the excuse that it’s supposed to play like a game released over twenty years ago. I feel that the developers could’ve put more effort into it and taken more risks into making a better product.

    The campaign mode is atrocious. I know that, for this kind of shooter genre, one can’t start playing this game and expect a series of movie-like cinematics. But, I don’t feel like there was enough story content. I honestly enjoyed reading through the lore from the datalogs present in the game, but they were very few of them present through the entire campaign.

    The level designs are atrocious in the campaign and is one of the main reasons of the low score. There are secrets to collect and challenges to complete, which add on to the game length, but otherwise most of the levels are very linear. If the level isn’t linear, usually the player will be given a group of objectives that need to be fulfilled, such as shutting off three air purifiers in a set level. The first few levels are pretty fun, but as you progress it begins to feel old quickly.

    I really enjoyed playing through the original Doom when it was first released, but I feel due to the changes in technology, the developers were trying to mimic something that can’t exist in today’s world. I spent probably thousands of hours playing games like Doom, Quake and Half-Life, as well as playing mods that were freely available for the game from aspiring individuals, many of which would later become game developers themselves. Counter-Strike began as a Half-Life mod, and Team Fortress began as a Quake mod. Due to how graphics have increased significantly, game mods with completely new levels are difficult to create. Certain game developers have released kits to help users build mods for their games, but I notice that the creativity isn’t what it was before.

    In this title, it just doesn’t feel like there’s much content anymore. All of the levels in the campaign feel like the developers chose pre-set textures and copied them for all of the levels. None of them actually feel unique to me, even though I’m supposed to feel like I’m exploring a completely different planet. It feels like it’s all procedurally-generated content, even though it’s not. It feels like they outsourced the level design to a different company. It’s a real slog to get through.

    There just aren’t that many secrets in the game. They’re very easy to find if you don’t go straight for the objectives. The multiplayer is fun at first, but after a while it will also become stale. I tried to read through other reviews to see why this game could be well-received, and it appears that you will enjoy this game a lot if you don’t care about fancy level design or fancy cutscenes.

    I personally felt that this game was too minimalist to justify the full price tag. I said previously that the developers didn’t take enough risks. I wouldn’t have minded if it was a little bit minimalist. Yes, choosing to have a minimalist design was indeed a risk they chose, but not a good one, in my opinion. I don’t feel like I’m getting enough gameplay for the price tag of the game when it was released.

    I enjoyed Serious Sam 3 much more than this title. I hate to say it, but this game really feels like a cash grab. It’s certainly a difficult, fast-action shooter, but that’s really all it has going for it. The market is saturated with fast-action shooters, each having different features.

    DOOM, however, really has a lack of features. It just doesn’t feel fun to play. Yes, the graphics are alright and the story, for its intended purpose, gets the job done. But, when I play the game, it just doesn’t feel fun. There are gun modifications and upgrades, but they only affect the gameplay slightly. When there is only a very finite number of enemy types and level choices, the game becomes boring to get through. Competitive matches with randomized opponents is certainly fun as well, but it’s just that it gets boring after a few matches.

    Rather than actually try to take risks and make an interesting game based on the technology we see today, the marketing campaign instead advertises how they’re attempting to go back to their roots. That is certainly respectable, but I honestly wouldn’t have minded trying something fresh and new. As nebulous as it sounds, this game just doesn’t have the magic of its predecessors. What may have been fun over twenty years ago simply doesn’t hold up to today’s standards.    … Expand

    This is a game that has no idea what it wants to be. Is it a first person shooter. "Sort of". Is it a role player Half Life style of game. "Kind of".

    Doom is supposed to be fast and furious but this game is slowed down significantly by the need to constantly find things be it entrance ways, key cards, etc. You constantly find you are undertaking paquor style antics al la Remember Me.

    Just as annoying is the mods system. It has a horrible counter intuitive interface that demands your time and attention. Its a ghastly thing that again slows down the pace of the game.

    Indeed even the weapons have been bastardized. I can not image why a chainsaw should "run out of ammo". A situation made worse by the constant shortages of ammo, similar to the Stalker series of games.

    Taken together this is a recipe for pure frustration and ultimately disinterest. I played for 30 minutes and had, had more than had enough.

You find yourself constantly lost upon a floor, looking for a coordinate that is actually a floor higher, or lower, ect., with no way of telling, you end up backtracking and staring at this awfully layered and obnoxious map more than you actually fight enemies. Stages are highly uncreative and uninspired, and most rooms end up looking nearly identical. The Melee is grossly overpowered, borderline game ruining on its own. This allows you to nearly one shot every enemy after nearly a single gunshot, meaning you end up doing so every other god damned second, which in turns means youll end up watching this poorly done animation more than you actually shoot enemies. between this, the gimmicky chainsaw, and the bad distribution of ammo, the weapon system is overall scathingly bad and unbalanced, parts are eitehr far too mindless and easy , or far too aggravating for no reason.

Gameplay wise it adds nothing that wasn't in the original Doom (apart from some annoying platforming mechanics). It even had the old Doom's same beats - see some juicy pickups? Expect to be swarmed soon thereafter. While the glory kills are interesting the first few times, they grow stale before too long. And the story of the campaign? Bland, uninteresting and with not a single character of note.

    This seems so very unlike what I envisioned for the Doom franchise. It seems to copy from a lot of the modern shooters which have hand-holding features and other codswallop that Doom does not need. Enemies are woefully easy and dumb. Keep your $60 and wait for a better shooter.

    Most overrated and boring shooter in recent memory. Combat has zero depth, has poor balancing considering 2 weapons supershotgun and guass cannon break the game and is mind numbing repetitive. I see people claim this game has good story which is absurd.

    Painfully repetitive mess of a game. I can't understand how anyone can enjoy this braindead game.

    I don’t know what illnesses have people who say that this game OLDSCHOOL, maybe amnesia, maybe autism. This game is have NOTHING similar to oldschool. How you can describe me double jumps, RPG-sized maps (which are also in height like the Eifel Tower), a lot of lights from the monsters blood, called "ammo", character leveling system like in popular RPGs.

    P.S. double jump in the game that didn’t even have common jump before.    … Expand

    It's so different from original DOOM that at the beginning I felt confused. It's definitely intense, fast and full of action but also quite repetitive. I had fun, but not for long. It's probably more for multiplayer fans

    Aged so well. Maybe not as good as Eternal, but it's damn good. Just pure fun

    Doom honors its legacy while setting the stage for a new era for the long dormant franchise. Intimately gory encounters and a surprising emphasis on story more than make up for the bland multiplayer.

    Exactly the right amount of old and new, DOOM is an adrenaline rush that borders on overwhelming in the best possible way.

    Doom's shimmering, bombastic combat is as absorbing as it is revelatory. [Aug 2016, p.100]
