    As an old fart who is becoming wary of reboots, I went into this with very low expectations. Despite that, having now finished the game on Ultra-Violent, I still summarize the game as simply average.

    With all these reviews about the "frenetic gameplay", I'm wondering if they played the same game as I. There are *periods* of frenetic firefights, bursts of rapid run-and-gun killing, but    As an old fart who is becoming wary of reboots, I went into this with very low expectations.

    With all these reviews about the "frenetic gameplay", I'm wondering if they played the same game as I. There are *periods* of frenetic firefights, bursts of rapid run-and-gun killing, but then there's also long stretches of boring hallway walking with only a handful of enemies around. Exploration is a snoozefest and, outside of the BFG, most of the weapons are simply unremarkable. You WILL get tired of Glory Kills before you're done with the first chapter and yet, when playing on Ultra-Violent, constantly performing them is a necessity (for health and the like), thus devolving into a constant shoot-stun-glory kill routine over and over for the duration of the game. The campaign is painfully short; with finding about 70% of the collectibles, beating the game took only 10 hours, and far too much of that was spent looking at loading screens. Campaign is also lacking in spirit - looking back I can't really identify as single "holy s**t, did you see that?!" moments. Graphically the game is neither good nor bad. It, too, is average. I guess the best compliment I can give it is that it runs smooth most of the time with only the very rare frame drop during hectic sequences.

    With little reason to replay the campaign, I turned to multiplayer. What I found there is a tacked on mess of a game that won't appeal to many over the long term. There's nothing in multiplayer to distinguish Doom from the myriad of other sci-fi shooters in the genre. It will likely keep some players for a week or so but they'll go back to their FPS's of choice very soon.

    The shining gem of this reboot is Snapmap - the gory version of Super Mario Maker for Doomheads, if you will. This is what will ultimately give Doom any sort of longevity but the problem is waiting for a decent variety and amount of levels to become available through the community. Right now, being new, Snapmap is only good for those people who want to dabble around with level design.

    The game is a solid rental but not worth the $60 price of ownership UNLESS you're hardcore into building levels through Snapmap. The best (and worst) of the campaign can be seen through a two day Redbox rental and multiplayer is best left to other games. I'd recommend waiting to buy it until it's cheaper and the community has had time to learn the Snapmap functions and create a decent amount of user based levels.    … Expand

    Doom (2016) is an achievement in quality that is limited by the old school experience. I loved the character models, animations, flow of combat, the different weapons, and detailed environments.

The game also hits that early 90’s nostalgia. Wolfenstein 3D and Doom were the first first person shooters, and I will never forget the great times I had with them.

    However, after a few decades of shooters, the shooting for the sake of shooting isn’t enough anymore. Doom (2016) does little more than drop enemies into the area, require the player to kill all of them, and then open a path to rinse and repeat. Some games have a relentless momentum like Halo: CE to Reach. In this games, you and decide strategically how to deal with enemies or blast past them if you want to. Even in a grindfest like Destiny, you can find the fastest path. Not so in Doom. You have to run and gun in small arenas until all the enemies are dead. Only then can you proceed.

    Storywise, the game has little. I did appreciate the story being told from the 1st person perspective like Half-Life. I just want more story. Maybe I want more personality. There are no sense of stakes and no one to care about. Everything takes place on Mars or in Hell. So what if Mars becomes a gateway to Hell? The demons don’t have spaceships. Can’t the humans just nuke them?

    All in all, Doom (2016) is a polished game that offers some fun, old school gameplay. I would have liked to have seen more from it, but I appreciate the effort that Bethesda put into what they offered. The game is on the high side of 7.    … Expand

    Intense for sure, but I'm not a fan of the lack of epic story moments. Mostly the game just does its thing and goes on and on with few stand-out moments. Games like Uncharted present much more cinematic and epic campaigns.

    Good reboot of the doom games. Captures the combat intensity of the classic games but brings the series up to speed with modern mechanics and technology. Upgrading equipment is a lot of fun. Combat can get a bit tedious since there isn't much to break up the shooting aspect of the game. I also wish there were more narrow spaces and hallways like the original games had.

    It's a fun game full of Gore and violence, just how I like them.
    I'd recommend picking it up on ps now for free since it's just a big prequel to "Doom eternal" with an extremely unsatisfactory ending, much like Wolfenstein....
    I personally wouldn't waste any money on it, but of you can get it for free, it's a must play.

    I'll start off by saying that I'm not exactly the target audience for this game. While I loved Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, and Quake when I was younger, that was mainly because they were cutting-edge and offered never before seen experiences. These days, I look for good or unique storytelling in games and I find the typical grinds and gameplay loops boring.

    I'll start with the gameplay. It's    I'll start off by saying that I'm not exactly the target audience for this game. While I loved Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, and Quake when I was younger, that was mainly because they were cutting-edge and offered never before seen experiences. These days, I look for good or unique storytelling in games and I find the typical grinds and gameplay loops boring.

    I'll start with the gameplay. It's everything you'd expect a modern version of Doom to be. The only minor issues with it is that rockets don't seem to be nearly as fun as they used to be (maybe that's more of a Quake thing), and feedback upon receiving damage is kind of light. It's a great change of pace from the hordes of military shooters we've had for the past 15+ years. Although if you've primarily played military shooters, then Doom will take some getting used to.

    Controlling the game via the PS4 controller works well enough, though isn't as good as a keyboard/mouse setup.

    I must praise the graphics. Playing this on a standard PS4 is amazing. Everything is fluid and looks great. This is one of the best-looking PS4 games I've played, though I primarily play RPGs. I wish more developers would license id's engine for their PS4 games.

    The story is the main reason I got this. Just hearing about Doom Guy and his disrespect for authority got me interested. The first level is amazing and there's some good characterization going on here, but after that, it's toned down a lot. Doom Guy doesn't start angrily breaking stuff again until one level in the middle of the game. And there's many sections throughout where he just stands there and watches. I really would have liked to see him do more. I was especially disappointed when meeting the final boss: he just stood there. Though I suppose his finishing move somewhat made up for it.

    The story is light. I remember there being more story and background in Doom 3 (2004). You only interact with three other characters through the whole game, and they're not all that interesting. They really just serve to give you a reason to go from one level to the next. There's a relatively small (compared to other games I play) number of data logs that contain information about the locations, weapons, monsters, and characters. But again, they're not too interesting.

    There's a surprising number of extras too, which I don't remember ever being in a previous Doom game. User-created levels, specific secret item/areas, and even original doom levels. This is always nice to see when most games these days repackage their extras as DLC.

    So yeah, I had an average time with this game. It was a bit fun to kill hordes of demons, but it got a bit monotonous for me with not a lot pushing me forward, storywise. It's staying in my collection regardless. As an old-school Doom fan, I wouldn't do anything else.    … Expand

    Bethesda and ID’s visceral collaboration, Doom throws players into a fast-paced, metal-fueled first-person shooter. With monsters and mayhem in abundance, does Doom offer anything new to the over saturated FPS market, or are fans left with another generic shooter?

    The Good
    The fast paced action of Doom sets it apart from other games in the FPS genre. There is no time to take cover, and if you don’t move, you are guaranteed to die while enemies are around. There is a feeling of urgency and an element of unpredictability with the enemies that is absent from most games of the genre. The game encourages players to utilize its “gore kill” system by having enemies drop health pick-ups from being killed in this manner; this was a feature that could have felt tacked-on, but ultimately becomes a core combat element that can be necessary for those running low on health. The brutality of the weapons and the creativity behind their upgrade/attachments provide players with a level of strategy to handle demonic encounters; players must act quickly when fighting demons as the weapon wheel only slows the action, but does not stop it. Players are challenged with adjusting to any demonic encounter on the fly and this level of non-stop action makes for an enjoyable experience.
    The snapmap game mode deserves high praise not only for its entertainment value, but also its practical applications in teaching coding. Snapmap allows players to create their own playable maps and upload them for others to play themselves. The remarkable aspect behind this game mode is the detail, size, and environmental reactions a player can create within their own map; the level of detail and control that players can put into their own creation makes this game mode a how-to for coding. Were it not for the games Mature rating (17+), Doom would be a highly recommended teaching tool for those students interested in coding.

    The Bad
    While there is a story present within Doom’s campaign mode, it’s less than compelling; portal to hell has been opened, close it. While the story unfolds through collectable dossiers and natural progression, there is little depth or surprises here. It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either. The online multiplayer is more of the same, in that there is little difference between it and every other multiplayer FPS mode on the market. You won’t see anything here that you haven’t seen before.
    The major offender in Doom is repetition; there isn’t much more to this game other than move from one area to the next to clear out enemies. While players are encouraged to explore the surprisingly large maps, the repetitive nature of clearing out hives of demons begins to take its toll, and eventually the gameplay becomes stagnant. The level and creature designs are extremely detailed, but the gameplay never really evolves, despite having more difficult enemies thrown at you as the story progresses. Doom plays all of its cards in the first half; everything from that point on is more of the same.

    Rating
    7.5 – Doom brings freshness to the FPS genre that has been absent for far too long. The old-style health and armor pick-ups create a difficulty many gamers either forgot existed, or had never experienced. Fans of the series will rejoice with the fast-paced blood-bath that is Doom. While the core game becomes repetitive, the inclusion of the snapmap is an innovative game mode that is ripe with potential, and the multiplayer mode at the very least serves its purpose, despite not bringing anything new to the table. Overall, Doom is a non-stop ride through hell and back, and many gamers will be pleased by the series return to form.    … Expand

Mainly, the need to kill every single enemy in a room in order to go to the next. And despite all the adrenaline you get from killing demons, eventually you ask yourself: is there anything else to this game? The answer is no. Killing demons is fun, but the game eventually throws so many of them at you that you will begin to feel fatigue.

    Diversity is a good thing, and an essential part of having a modern day video game. Multiple mechanics working in conjunction to provide an experience only modern games allow. Having a dozen of well made weapons is not having multiple mechanics. In fact, Doom has only one mechanic: "shoot and kill".

    The multiplayer feels like a modern remake of Quake (pick one, they are all essentially the same). Which is not a bad thing, but it honestly lacks the necessary depth to keep you invested in the long term. Again, is fun but not a substantial addition to your free time.

    Finally, the Doom modding system is great. If you have the patience and ability to dedicate enough time to create content. Yet, is too early to tell if anything truly mesmerizing can come out of it. I am sure that if great user content begins to appear, then this feature is the most essential one to Doom.

    In conclusion, Doom is a good game for 60 bucks. Is a GREAT game for 40, and a fantastic one for less than 30 bucks. So it's really up to you if you are willing to wait it out for the cheaper prices.    … Expand

    Very Underwhelming.

    My biggest problem with this game is the sort of "finishing move" concept, new to this iteration of Doom.

It works like this: after you attack an enemy to the point of them having little health left, they are highlighted and this gives you the chance to run up and tear them apart mostly with your bare hands, leaving them a bloody mess, and spawning health/other pickups while doing so.

    Sounds cool, right? I thought so too...at first.

    Then I realized that since the game is mostly stingy with health pickups, you're forced to keep performing these sort of finishing moves whenever possible to stay alive, especially in later levels. It's a gimmick that completely breaks up the flow of the game. You end up shooting enemies a couple times then you rip them apart like cardboard, rinse and repeat. It totally undermines the intimidation factor of the enemies.

    Imagine how fun the original Doom would have been if you had had the powers of the berserk powerup 100% of the time AND had to use it constantly. It would have sucked. The player SHOULD feel nearly helpless when left with nothing but their fists to fight hordes of demons--it's a great incentive to be prudent with ammo consumption. But in this game if you have low ammo, it's like "so what, i'll just shoot them a couple times each and tear into them faster than Oprah into a box of jelly donuts"

    Also regardless of all the hype about this being an "old school FPS" (mostly referring to the health system actually based on health replenishment rather than CoD-style 'wait in a corner to heal' tactics) there ARE dialog screens you have to wait through, and they try to make "the story" be a part of the game too.

    ...uhm, this game IS called Doom, right?

Dooms remaster is a prime example of how a FPS in 2016/17 should be. Fantastic graphics and a smooth 60FPS, makes for a satisfying experience.

    Dooms multiplayer is great, modern... but repetitive. It limits itself in that the maps all feel the same, and there isn't that much variation in game modes, and therefore the experience was the same every time. Most of the time in fact it just felt like the campaign but with other players shooting at you as well. Speaking of repetition after a while of gaining equipment and (baring in mind I was playing the hardest difficulty) and killing the same demons in waves to clear areas over and over it does repeat itself slightly, and at times just felt boring.

    With all this being said I found the story of it alright, however for a FPS for this it isn't really that important as it's definitely more focused on acing the shooter aspect of it. It launches you right in with one objective: shoot and kill. Moreover I feel the boss fights of this game were fantastic, grueling and bloody all throughout with interesting mechanics, hard amounts of health and brilliant design they were always new and a joy to play through.

    Overall DOOM was a fun game to play, I wouldn't however go back to it as there are other less repetitive experiences to be had in other games like this, however this does not take away from what an experience doom was. It's reasonably lengthy 12 hour campaign and entertaining multiplayer probably more fit for some than others, you get well worth the price of a now £15 game or lower. A fantastic example of how a FPS should play, nostalgia trip and memorable experience.    … Expand

    The only things that lets it down is that the gameplay doesn’t evolve at all from start to finish (other than adding new monsters and weapons) and, as a result, things became really repetitive well before the end of the 12+ hour campaign and I personally would have been much happier had the game come to an end a few hours sooner.    … Expand

    I'm writing a quick review based on my first few hours of gameplay in campaign mode only. If you're thinking about buying this game, maybe this information will help you decide.

    First, let's cut the crap. This game is not a 9 or 10, nor is it a 1 or 2. I'm giving it a 7 for the reasons listed below.

    This is a reboot of the original DooM, nothing more and nothing less. If you were expecting something that plays like DooM 3, please adjust your expectations. This game is fast paced, the enemies are numerous, and you must sustain yourself by picking up the ammo and life items the enemies drop when you kill them. Again, just like the original DooM of yore. You also pick up key cards and look for hidden caches. Nothing new here for veterans of DooM.

    If I were to compare this to other games, it is a mix of original DooM, DooM 3 (in the graphics, atmosphere, and sound department) and Space Marine. The combat gives you plenty of choices, but the funnest option is to set up your "Glory kills" with your guns. That is, you stun the enemy with a gun shot, then finish them with your R3 button at closer range. Combat is fluid and it works, in my opinion.

    Here is what the game does not have:
    Aiming down the sights
    Cut scenes
    Very much dialogue

    All of which is a plus for me, not a minus. If you like "cinematic" games like The Last of Us, this game is probably not for you. If you like games like DooM 1 and 2, Half Life, and Metroid, this game is probably for you. I've always considered long dialogues and cut scenes in video games to be a waste of my time. I like the story to be told by exploring the game world and playing the game.

    Whether or not you want to wait for a price drop (or skip this altogether) depends on how much you loved (or did not love) the run and gun style of older shooters.

    Again, I have not dipped my toes into multi player yet. That could alter my review and if it does I'll update this review    … Expand

    Like your mom. HEH, RIGHT?

    Ok. Anyway.

    What I loved: BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM. Satisfying combat. Simplistic upgrade system. Interesting sprinklings of codecs to feed you hints about the background and story. The 'your balls-outyness will be rewarded, my child' pace. Seeing all my favorite demons from my 20s in all of their nexgen upgraded glory. The BFG.

    What I didn't: In staying true to it's Doominess, it's repetitive and shallow. Sometimes it's a grind. But that's Doom, kids. You play Doom because it's Doom. You don't listen to Justin Timberlake hoping for deep-assed Tom Waits-style insights and lyrics, you listen because it's familiar and you know what to expect and it makes you feel good even if you're a little mad because no human being should have a life that good. Seriously, eff Justin Timberlake. But that's Doom, man. It's not The Last Of Us. It's not Silent Hill 2. Hell, when it comes to story, it ain't even L.A. Noire.

    Man, THAT hurt to type.

    But it's a good time. It's just not "worth the full price of admission" good time.

    And a passing mention of the multiplayer: Eh. It's aight. Played 9-10 matches, had a reasonably decent time, didn't feel the urge to go back. Think of a fast-paced-but-sloppy Halo 4.

    So if you can borrow it or get it cheap, seriously, go for it. Oh unless you get queasy easily, like this one friend of mine. Like, if you can't manage the gore in an average episode of Walking Dead, maybe stay away. You poor bastard.    … Expand

    long story short: I enjoyed the beginning few hours of this game on medium difficulty with the map and collectibles, fun gameplay and music but the further into the game progression opening up the map every 30 seconds to search for close secrets hinged on the overall gameplay experience.

    I enjoyed the metal music during the arena fights but once in a while the music blared to overpowering levels into my ear during a small skirmish of crap easy enemies and it would not stop blaring until quitting the actual game.

    I experienced a number of glitches, falling through floor, getting stuck into handrails, etc. These glitches grew more and more frustration with the slog of a game this actually is.

    Overall 7/10 for single player content. No desire to retread a second time.

It's tough to navigate around some of the faster moving demons and the stupid small sections they throw you in to fight them. They should have added sprint and some open area levels to make full use of the weapons because most enemies just rush you all the time.

    Visually it's superb like some of the UAC facility levels, weapons, few enemy designs (revenant, the undead and cacodemon being the only ones that stood out), and slick menu presentation. Loading times are ridiculous. Audio is hit and miss. Sound effects are good but some of the gun sounds and explosions are weak. Had to crank my volume a little bit. They nailed the music which is constantly there sometimes subtlety or full force.

    A sequel or DLC needs to add more variety (Phobos and Deimos?) because it was overall missing something I can't quite put my finger on? It badly needed something fresh because it all felt too mundane. That's not to say it sucks. It was a blast to play but too arcade-ish for me.

    Nice graphics. Nice gunplay. Boring and nonexistent story. Short duration (around 10 hours).

    It forces you to learn how and when to use each one of the weapons, but you get bored when everything is always the same: more and more bigger enemies in smaller spaces.

The gameplay mostly involves running away from enemies and strafing -- no enemies can catch up to you. The graphics are mediocre at best. There are no physics. The environments feel the same.

In its best moments, it's absolutely and literally heart-pounding. So coming back to nostalgia again, this is Doom as it was, but on serious amounts of steroids and adrenaline. Doom is hard on the weak, and pleasure for the hard.
    The downside though, is in Doom:s multiplayer PvP which feels dated to say the least. Naturally, I'm a product of evolution who prefer the 'hide and recover' mechanic of modern shooters, and Doom doesn't have that. You'll need to brush off your old strafing-skills from the nineties again. Because this is Doom. And it doesn't care what you think. I'm gonna end it like that, really, "This is Doom".

    This aspect is the most frustrating of the game, because it is painfully obvious there is wasted potential. For most players, it's not a problem because they simply want to kill more enemies with more guns.

    DOOM has a slight struggle to find it's own identity. The story delivers exactly what you would expect from an arcade experience. On the other side, DOOM lacks a lot of well beloved features from it's predecessors and has some quickly appearing wear marks of it's own. However, the technical aspect performs well on PC and Consoles and the Multiplayer is fun, but requires some balancing updates.

    Probably one of the most overrated games ever for me, as for doom fans I’m sure this is a great reboot, but as for just as actual great games goes this is definitely not great, there’s hardly any story here even though I know there’s not meant to be any, the customisation to the weapons is okay which can be further modified through completing challenges with each mod of the weapon (Probably one of the most overrated games ever for me, as for doom fans I’m sure this is a great reboot, but as for just as actual great games goes this is definitely not great, there’s hardly any story here even though I know there’s not meant to be any, the customisation to the weapons is okay which can be further modified through completing challenges with each mod of the weapon ( there’s 2 mods to each gun) and the rune trial effects and upgrades are interesting, but the suit upgrades of what I remember are pretty dull and besides that you just upgrade your health, armour and ammo capacity. And then besides that you just go from boring open space to boring open space blasting the same demons that just constantly do the same **** there’s no set prices by the way or cut scenes, just demon set ups. I thought this would be better if they were more closed spaces like at the beginning. The best thing about the game was the boss fights, to which there’s only 3 and the last one I thought was boring compared to the cyber demon and the 2nd one which were pretty good and the funnest parts of the game by far. The visuals are nice but there just isn’t much variety to them, everything about the game is just so repetitive. So as for rebooting an old legendary franchise I suppose it’s a very good thing but it’s just that really, mostly just a big dumb run, jump and gun blow up demons romp. As for the multiplayer I’ve only played 2 matches which was just today and it was very slow and lackluster, especially the mode “warpath” (I think it’s called) but I was only playing on the beginner section, I didn’t get to play a demon also, but all of the new guns and equipment and playable demons you can eventually use look exciting, but besides this I’m sure I’ve heard very good things about the multiplayer. And besides all that I don’t know anything about snapmap and that’s all really.… Expand

    Jogo mediano pra baixo, historia fraca, personagem sem carisma, gameplay mediano. O melhor desse jogos são os graficos. jogo muito repetitivo ao extremo sem variedade de combate

    This game encourages exploration by giving you exploration-specific upgrades for your suite as an upgrade path, and then precedes to lock you out of backtracking, reward you with annoying rune trials, and then not rumble when you are near secrets like the upgrade said it would.

    This is just super frustrating.

    Punching also will teleport you past enemies. You won't know what happened so you'll back up, but you won't be able to and you'll think the game is glitching out, and now that enemy you teleported past is hitting you in the back. Enemies can also hit you mid air and cancel your jump, making you fall to your death to start the whole battle over again.

    There is alot of platforming and platforming death in this game.

    The pace is further ruined by the most annoying part of old Doom that they leaned into heavily, stopping you over and over to find a keycard. Where you having fun? Sorry, you have to find the Blue Keycard. Why this was put in the game is beyond me.

    Dooms gunplay is fantastic and so is it's music. But it ends up feeling very samey since most places look very similar with the same color pallet and its lack of boss fights until the very end. You basically just go into room after room shooting monsters the entire time. Thankfully the gunplay is so good it makes up for i somewhat. Thankfully Doom Eternal fixes these issues.

    Doom was promoted as a return to the series’ roots which means, as Doom was the original first person shooter, you would think that you’d be doing a lot of FPS. But man would you be wrong! Because Doom 2016 is more about platforming, corridor-running (without an enemy in sight) and what every game 2016 on needs, collectibles!!! These collectibles are not what you think they are, most areDoom was promoted as a return to the series’ roots which means, as Doom was the original first person shooter, you would think that you’d be doing a lot of FPS. But man would you be wrong! Because Doom 2016 is more about platforming, corridor-running (without an enemy in sight) and what every game 2016 on needs, collectibles!!! These collectibles are not what you think they are, most are absolutely necessary on higher difficulties because rather than an XP-system to get upgrades, the upgrades for armor and weapons come through these collectibles. As for the platforming, at most points it feels like you’re playing Mario or Mirror’s Edge as you will spend more time platforming than actually shooting; of which the shooting takes place in arena-like areas in levels, where 99% of the shooting takes places in your first-person ‘shooter’. As others have said, if I wanted platforming, I’d go play Mario.

    As for the weapons, which are your most used assets in an FPS, by mid-game the weapons start meshing together as you just start switching weapons based on which gun has ammo. Even the weapon mods don’t add much to weapon variety. During the shooting sections, most of the time you’re actually meleeing because the glory kills system you get from staggering enemies are required to get health drops to survive in combat so there is no real strategy besides charge, melee, charge, melee. Get ready to use that shotgun. There is no strategy to be found in Doom 2016. Also, the chainsaw has been turned into a Borderlands-esque ammo making machine, which requires fuel to operate and when used on higher ranking enemies, they will drop ammo like candy from a piñata at a party.

    Story-wise for all the hype that was put behind this story for redefining story in the single-player genre and how deep it was, the story is very much a throwaway that hardly exists in the background. The majority comes through codex pick-ups that you have to find and read and are not conveyed through characters or events. The main bad character has NO reasoning or explanation for why they did what they did throughout the campaign. The storyline is mainly stolen from Doom 3 and extremely watered down with no character development, no reason for these events or why the demons are invading. As for the times you go to Hell are ridiculous in comparison to the previous titles, it’s like you’re a welcome guest in the demons’ home, even though you’re supposed to be the most feared demon killer in history.

    Once you hit the halfway point the game turns into a slog as you just want the game to end. The boss battles, while they vary in gameplay and are sort of interesting in relation to everything else, they are quite boring when you look back after the fight is done as even the Cyber Demon (one of the main bosses in Doom original) is a pretty easy fight. You don’t feel like you went into a fight against a huge demon, more like you got into a tussle with a kitten. The end game is the worst part of all this as the whole game ‘wraps up’ without you even getting any answers or even having satisfying gameplay as the last boss battle is the easiest boss battle in the game, where the Hell Guardians and Cyber Demon at least had some sort of challenge. I guess it’s not surprising in a game where they turned Hell Knights, which were essentially mini-bosses in Doom 1, 2, and 3, are now killed in the hundreds with very little effort.

    This game is a rental if you want to try it, the campaign lasts maybe a max 10-12 hours, depending on difficulty, where most is you wandering the corridors for collectibles. For actual game and shooting, it’s about 4 hours. You won’t want to pick this game up ever again for the campaign, maybe only the arcade-mode. Play the original three Dooms if you want to have fun.    … Expand

    Doom is a tale of two very different shooters (and one quirky creation tool).

    Doom is okay and at some points amazing.
    The game is so repetitive that it becomes unsatisfying. The games strength is its boss battles, and if you play PS4, you should definitely try it.

    Doom is a lot of fun and I enjoyed it the further I got into the game, but I dont nearly enjoy the game as much as other people seem to. But I can see why people do love Doom. The multiplayer is great and could have brought it up a point for me but now theirs almost no one playing and the lobbies are barely half filled. If I was their day 1 then the multiplayer could made the game better for me

    I play this game after seeing it was preised by everyone. I'm not an old fan. I didn't play the 90s ones yet I found it quite boring. Guess I was expecting some history behind instead of shooting and killing. Still a good game to pass the time and not having to think too much.

The fighting arenas are well designed and a joy to bounce around on. The music will probably go down in history as one of the best pieces of music ever created in a videogame. The best aspect of Doom is the feeling of a badass, the feeling of being a Demon slayer, and the music compliments this feeling well. The story is really nothing special, dialogue is fine, platforming sections are sometimes very annoying, and some boss fights just feel like big weapon sponges that do the same thing over and over and over.    … Expand

    Looking back on Doom 2016 I have good memories of it! It was one of the first games I bought for my PS4 (didn’t get one until 2017) & I was a relative virgin to FPS games at the time. But much like the generation that grew up as Doom & Wolfenstein popularized the genre, both series were here for me in the modern age to ease me into FPS mechanics that I always found disorienting before.Looking back on Doom 2016 I have good memories of it!

    The gunplay, the enemies and the scenarios are great. Is really enjoyable to annihilate demons and make armor and weapons improvements. BUT this is only the 20-40% of the game. Most of time the game makes you go walking to get collectibles and to get yellow, red or blue cards to advance in the story. 20-40% of the game is great and 60-80% of the game is a walking simulator in hell.

    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.
