The game lasted about 15 hours for me, complete with long open ended maps the series is known for. Each of the 13 are ripe for exploration and are filled with secrets. Each levels consists of many open arenas filled with enemies where you test your skills in quick visceral combat requiring moment to moment reflexes. Luckily you have the classic Doom arsenal with a few newcomers. You get to carry all at once in classic fps tradition and switching through constantly is strategic to your current situation. The soundtrack packs a heavy punch as you fight through hoards of demons and the art direction is all pretty cool in my opinion, not to mention theres tons of easter eggs with little regerences to other games and films. Multiplayer is ok at best though, it doesn't feel right in a Doom game with loadouts and other modern trends. Overall it just gets old after a couple hours and I can't see myself going back to it. Snapmap is also very limited and gives little to the modding community so it will probably be abandoned by most. ID knocked this one out of the park after the disappointing Doom 3 and Rage just as Machine Games did with the new Wolfenstein games. If you want something new with a very nostalgic feel or just an amazing single player fps this new era of Doom is worth your hard earned cash.… Expand

    Doom is a modern shooter with all the B.S. ripped out and replaced with fast, relentless gameplay.

    Though multiplayer is average, the offering for the campaign is more than enough to fully live up to it's legacy. With a rating based on the title's potential and how well it was executed, Doom get's a 10 from me.    … Expand

This game oozes style and attitude and it is undoubtedly the best single player first person shooter experience I have had on the next gen consoles to date. But I have to be honest, I have not touched the multiplayer portion of this game and based on what I have read it is not the reason to purchase this title. It certainly was not for me so that is why I am focusing on the campaign only. And what a campaign it is! Firstly the graphics. Wow . I am playing on the PS4 on a Sony 4K TV and this game is jaw dropping. The textures, lighting and particle effects are all some of the best I have seen this generation. The game runs in full 1080p( though my television does upscale the image to 4K) at a consistent 60 frames per second which is an unbelievable feat considering the graphical fidelity on display here. For anyone familiar with this series and arena style shooters in general, the decision to provide a consistent 60 frames is highly appreciated. The art design is also top notch. The weapon models are exceptional as are the environments which range from space station corridors, sprawling areas on the surface of Mars with lots of verticality as well as dreadfully beautiful locales in the depths of Hell. The game’s aesthetic is reminiscent of old heavy metal album covers and it is all very very cool. The creature designs are also fantastic. There is a large variety from small grunt like demons who pepper you from a distance with hellfire balls to enormous demons with surgically attached machine gun arms. Very heavy metal indeed! The enemy AI is good. Foes are very aggressive and keep you on your toes. The game is fairly challenging at medium difficulty and downright Dark Soulsesque at the higher difficulty settings. The sound design does not take a backseat to the visuals. The game is powered by a driving heavy metal soundtrack which increases in intensity as the on screen action ramps up. Guns sound great and all of the ambient noises are top notch as well. Most importantly the gameplay delivers on every level. This is Doom. The speed of the game is the biggest factor here and it immediately sets Doom apart from any other shooter on the market. This game is fast. But the buttery smooth controls ensure that you have control over that speed at all times. This game is all about movement. Tactical concepts such as taking cover, regenerating your health, and picking your enemies off one by one will get you killed in Doom. Constant movement, good aim and an itchy trigger finger are your only methods of survival on Mars and in Hell. Movement is always a joy however, thanks to fantastic controls and a climbing system designed to navigate the environment with ease. Doom also introduces a Glory Kill system which consists of staggering an enemy with gunfire and then getting in close for a brutal melee kill. Since Doom sticks to its old school roots it does not feature regenerating health. Instead Glory Kills provide you with a small health burst for every enemy taken down in that fashion and it adds a great tactical aspect to the shooting formula and I found it to be a relatively small but very welcome addition. But this is Doom as you remember it and also what you imagined it would be like in 2016. In terms of story its completely serviceable. The gates of hell are accidentally opened on a remote research facility on the surface of Mars and it’s up to Doomguy to put his jet powered space marine boot up Satan’s behind. War and Peace this is not but if anyone wanted a super intricate story line complete with branching story paths and dialogue options simply does not understand what Doom is all about. You are here to kill demons and kill demons you do. In glorious fashion! Doom also includes a very user friendly SnapMap feature which allows users to create a variety of multiplayer, single player and co-op content which adds a lot of value and replayability since there is always something new to play. This game is an absolute blast. It is highly polished, infectiously addictive and I cannot put it down. I know many review sites have really knocked down the score because the multiplayer is not great but if you are interested in Doom for all of the right reasons I would highly recommend this title.… Expand

It seems to be catching some unjust flak for not playing like a COD game, but...IT ISNT COD! It is more of a fast paced "arcade" type shooter. Jumping, circle strafing and aggression are key. something that i feel like many players have lost in the one shot kill, or quickscope kill method too many people have adopted or come to expect from modern shooters.

I'm glad this shooter has gone back to basics and I truly love it. The multiplayer isn't the greatest in the world however the campaign and snap map feature (which by the way, I haven't seen anything like it on consoles) are awesome.

    I spent hours and hours into snap map making my own maps along with game modes to go along with it. Snap map is cool, and you can create whatever is possible within a shooter franchise. Examples : I played whack a mole with a shotgun along with tower defense games 4 person co op. I'm currently making my own campaign and leaving some secrets out there for players to find. Snap map is cross platform so everyone can enjoy.

    For the second portion of this review, is the campaign, it's gotta be the most refreshing FPS campaign I've played in awhile. Examples : Doom Guy doesn't give a ****, an AI is being serious to him and he smashes it without a care in the world. Meltdown imminent? he doesn't care he's there to kill demons until he dies along with him. Total immersive experience the campaign is and I recommend it to anyone bored with the usual in the gaming industry. Really addictive game play to boot.

    As for the Multiplayer, it isn't the greatest in the world but it is a lot of fun with friends, I have more fun with it than CoD if you want an idea of how it is. It's 6v6 and has powerups, pickups (Ammo, Armor, Health) Demon Runes (which turn you into a demon) These you pick up and can give your team a massive advantage, however if he gets killed the killer takes on the reins of the demon himself.

    It is interesting and I hope iD Software gives it more attention and makes it more fun. This is the granddaddy of all shooters after all and it deserves the number 1 spot when it comes to innovation in FPS. Conclusion: Multiplayer is the only thing dragging the game down, which even then it's all just gravy compared to it's Snap map and campaign. Those two alone are worth the price of admission. Snap Map has endless content for all to enjoy and it's a worthwhile choice if you're looking for something new.    … Expand

While DOOM 3 took the horror feel and none of the action from the original 2 DOOM games, this one brought back all the gore and action you could ever ask for. It expertly combines little shout outs to long time DOOM fans with a mix of the new that results in a tight controlled shooter with that classic DOOM vibe still strong in the gameplay. While some may criticise the game for upgrade point in your weapons and armor, I found it to be a welcome addition that added meaning to exploration in the, as I've heard it called, "laberyintian environment." While the single player felt worth the $60 price tag alone, I would have liked to just see a few more campaign missions to extend the playtime of the game that truly excels. Because the multiplayer and snapmap feature are disappointing. While the snapmap feature is robust and offers a lot of cinematic options, I found that it wasn't user friendly. It may be just me, but for the life of me I can't get the effects to play out the way I want if at all even after an hour of playtime. I think personally the creatives maps of the game's fanbase will have to be what I rely on for the fun of the feature rather than making the maps myself. And the multiplayer...Well it's there alright. You can't take that away from it. Because there really isn't much you could take away from it if you wanted to. It feels like it wants to be something it's not, and that is some sort of hybrid Call Of Duty clone that just feels wrong somehow. It isn't terrible, but if you are looking for a game to play with your friends, the multiplayer gets old pretty fast and doesn't offer much variety.
    All in all I'm glad I bought this game though. It's the first in a long string of losers I have bought for PS4 that finally reminded me why I bought one in the first place. I've had the time of my life trying to Platinum the game and find all the secrets and I think any long-time DOOM fan will love this game.    … Expand

    I must say that I have been one happy man with releases like Wolfenstein: New Order/Old Blood and Shadow warrior. Now this Doom is latest addition for that list. I mean good single player first person shooter.

    So Doom is fast paced shooter like old Quakes and Serious Sam games. You move to A to B and kill bad guys on A and B and also along the way. The levels are mostly linear with few places where you can go check for secrets and explore though the main thing is on killing demons.

    And it is really fun to do it. You start with regular pistol and shotgun but then you start to build your arsenal more and more and almost each weapon has 2 mods that you can attach to weapon (shotgun has burst fire and explosive shells for and example). So that gives you plenty of choices how to rush into the battle.

    Also there is instakill Glory kill that you can enable when the enemy is staggered, gives you health when you need it. Chainsaw that uses fuel on use gives you ammo and 1 other special weapon that is a blast.

    Also your battle suit is upgradeable with basic max health, armor and ammo but also some modifiers for faster climbing etc. Then there are Runes (perks) that you get trough trial levels that has some kind of modifier to give some challenge.

    So there is loads of things that you can upgrade if you are into that sort of thing.

    Enemies all are different from each other. where the regular zombies just move slowly, imps throws you with fireballs and jumps around fast like a monkey. Only thing that is missing from enemy roaster is spiders from older games.

    There is a story and it's a simple one. Also there is some lore to read about places, monsters and weapons that I found interesting (I don't usually read those text collectibles).

    Also there is Basic multiplayer option that is ok and a snap map where you can build your own map or play the ones that other people have done. I didn't play those so can't say much about them.

    But Doom is good sp fps that I bet I'm gonna visit again and again like I did and do with Wolfenstein.    … Expand

It's singleplayer is truly the best in terms delivering its gameplay front and center and not giving a dam about story or lore in the form of long winded dialogue dumps and expository jumble. It has exploration, collectibles and original DOOM maps thrown in to relive the golden days of that old tradition of FPS games. The music is simply badass, with shredding and high frequency electronic mixed making the experience of killing demons so dam amazing. The designs of the demons and such is pretty dam cool, and while the bosses are not the best, the constant killing and slaughter trivializes this. Glory killing is outstanding and so metal to do (though it can get old for some and completely understand this) that I'm glad it's an option. If DOOM had only its singleplayer, then it would be an easy 10/10 for me.

    But it does not. Multiplayer is the weakest part of DOOM, with a setup more catered towards Call of Duty, Halo and other FPS that DOOM inspired but was not along sides with at the time of its conception (like Wolfenstein 3D or Quake) and will be a "tale of two games" when playing. I think it is decent, but if there was more effort put into its multiplayer style similar to Quake, it could easily crush alot of FPS online multiplayers. The Snapmap is a creative tool to allow you make maps and create little missions in them to share with your friends and the community. It is not as refined as say Forge like the Halo series, but it gives some creativity that will make you tinker with it and possibly make something cool.

    Overall, DOOM is everything I wanted in terms of a no nonsense campaign through Hell and Mars mired by some multiplayer issues and online things. It is definitely a game that deserves alot of praise for this and cannot wait to see the sequel.    … Expand

    Doom 2016 is the perfect example of how to make a remake right. It got everything that a Doom fan can ask for. I also have to point out the great soundtrack what Mick Gordon has created. If you want to kick some demon a@@es and feel like a bada@@ , then Doom 2016 is the best choice for you!

    DOOM is a first-person shooter that can be compared to very few modern games of its genre. Where most shooters rely on cover and practical tactics in a gunfight, DOOM thrusts the player into the role of an unstoppable destroyer where there is no reload, there is no aiming down the barrel or crouching behind cover because the best strategy is always forward. The combat is kinetic and hasDOOM is a first-person shooter that can be compared to very few modern games of its genre. Where most shooters rely on cover and practical tactics in a gunfight, DOOM thrusts the player into the role of an unstoppable destroyer where there is no reload, there is no aiming down the barrel or crouching behind cover because the best strategy is always forward. The combat is kinetic and has you charging through demons with bombastic and beautiful weaponry. There is a grace to the movement, a momentum that builds as you carve through hordes of Hell’s minions across a detailed depiction of a colonized Mars where industry is centered around scientific research and the excavation of resources. There was instantly a feeling of familiarity to DOOM, but that familiarity quickly evolved and blended into refreshing gameplay that exceeded all my expectations.
    There is no beginning tutorial or opening cinematic, it is within thirty seconds you kill your first demon and the action does not slow down from there. DOOM understands its identity, making it transparently clear that the gameplay comes before all else.
    The combat is brutal and swift. Armor, ammunition and health are scattered through the levels that quickly become arenas of demon slaying. You run through these areas, fighting and scooping up supplies while methodically weaving between charging enemies and demonic energy blasts. Damage compounds quickly in DOOM and the gameplay continuously thrives in the moment to moment action, forcing the player to rush enemies because every close quarters kill comes with a splash of blue orbs to grant health and loads of ammunition to refill your arsenal. There is a relentless need to push forward and it creates spontaneous decisions that can spread into a mesmerizing chain of kills.
    Hell is not scary. Hell is bad ass. Heavy metal music is sprinkled expertly throughout the game, electric guitar and beating drums adding intensity to each fight and enhancing the jaw dropping visuals with tone setting instrumentals. Mars is a mesmerizing depiction of the red planet turned to a harsh industrial zone, blood splattered hallways and towering steel structures your battleground in cleansing the demon threat. Hell is built upon boiling magma, constructs of skull and bones beneath a cloudy sky of crimson as a backdrop to your war against the wicked monstrosities that occupy the underworld. Every scene, every room is imaginatively crafted to further deepen the tenacious vibe of DOOM.
    DOOM allows you to become well acquainted and dangerously efficient with the weapon of your choice. The style and feel of each gun differ greatly and are effective depending on the enemy, situation, or equipped upgrades. You’ll find lasers, explosions and more yours to wield as your collection builds and the joy of finding a new weapon always comes with a rabid excitement to use it against the next wave of demons in your path.
    The side characters and the DOOM slayer are interesting parts of the puzzle, yet it is the enemies that are the centerpiece. New demons are precariously introduced in each level, starting small and simple and advancing into more complex designs and mechanics as the campaign goes on. These demons keep surmounting until you’re fighting a vast variety of different monsters in one battle, multiple enemy types forcing you to adapt and master your craft. Some may charge you and disposing of them is as simple as sidestepping to shoot them in the soft flesh of their back while others hurl energy blast and smash the ground to knock you away when you get close to make battling them a combination of flanking and firing. These fighting styles require different tactics to win and learning and applying these techniques while battling ten different kinds of enemies establishes a sense of pride when finally overcoming the horde of hell’s monstrosities.
    DOOM is both comfortingly familiar and refreshing original, rebuilding a classic from the ground up to reestablish a brand that seemed forgotten in the modern age. A pedal to the floor, heavy metal vibe immerses the player in a crazy dystopia of demon slaying joy that never loses its flavor through the sprawling campaign. Atop the adrenaline inducing gunplay, imaginative demons, stellar soundtrack and brilliant level designs, there is an abundant amount of secrets to be found and an intriguing narrative hidden just beneath the surface. DOOM puts gameplay before all else and reinvigorates a dormant franchise with an entry that will spark an entire generation of new fans in this creative reimagining of the classic shooter.    … Expand

    It's like your dead grandfather resurrected himself and teaches you some respect. The single player is fast paced and features minimum story. Weapons can be upgraded. Graphics and sound are top notch. The main multiplayer is it's weakest component but it's better than the beta. SnapMap is already impressive. Overall solid package.

    The graphics and sound are both off the charts. id tech 6 is visually stunning, competing only with the new Unreal Engine 4. The soundtrack is unbelievable, going from creepy atmospheric tones to metal depending on the action. Best sound and graphics I've seen in a game to date.

    Replay value is high due to the numerous ways you can customize your Doom Guy. The game also offers several difficulty levels, the highest (one death and it's over) being locked until you've completed nightmare.

    The glory kills are great and part of the core gameplay and not just a gimmick. You are rewarding for your kills with small amounts of health which you will need, trust me!

I have found some bugs (UAC, At one part while standing at the bottom of a cliff, going for a glory kill and literally fell through the map.) Other annoyances are melees; sometimes the dang AI moves and you are left spinning around to try and figure out where they went.

    This IS Doom.

    This is essentially Doom I and II brought into modern gaming, and by modern gaming, I really only mean 3D, because that is where all the similarities to modern FPS games end. This is not your standard corridor FPS game. This is nothing like Battlefield, Call of Duty, or Halo (Though its closer to Halo than the others). You are not a soldier going through a poorly written    This IS Doom.

    This is essentially Doom I and II brought into modern gaming, and by modern gaming, I really only mean 3D, because that is where all the similarities to modern FPS games end.
    This is not your standard corridor FPS game. This is nothing like Battlefield, Call of Duty, or Halo (Though its closer to Halo than the others). You are not a soldier going through a poorly written war story. There is no political intrigue. There are no Michael Bay-esque set pieces to move the game along. In Doom, there is only the player and a seemingly endless horde of demons to shoot down, hack apart, or stomp through.

    If you summed up gameplay in one word, it would be "kinetic", but "violent" can also work. Very much like in I and II, you will find yourself constantly moving, whether it is from one end of the map to the other or simply circle strafing a big bad demon. The fun fluid combat is only amplified by the game's emphasis on verticality. You can now jump and double jump all across the map. And trust me, it feels amazing to be jumping like a mad man across chasms and climbing up ledges during combat.
    The Glory Kill system is also amazing. When I first heard about it, I was skeptical about whether or not it was a good feature or not, but boy was I wrong. The kill animations are short and sweet, and uber violent. Much to my surprise, they did not mess with the combat's momentum, and they felt very natural, even when done in the middle of heavy combat.
    Health and ammo are plentiful. Unlike iys predecessors, you won't be hunting down ammo and health packs. Upon death, enemies often drop small health bonuses. That may make the game seem to easy, but it doesn't do that. It often seems like a godsend in arenas that have dozens of higher level demons clawing, blasting and bashing you from every direction. When enemies are killed via chainsaw they drop copious amounts of ammo, like a bloody piñata.
    Weapons are comprised of all the tried and true Doom classics. This time though, the chainsaw is a limited use weapon that requires gas as ammo and insta-kills demons. Hidden in the maps are drones that give you a weapon mod. You can upgrade mods with points earned in combat and via challenges. The mods aren't varied, but they make combat even funner. Elite Guard corpses can also be found, letting you upgrade the Praetor Combat Suit. Runes can be found, that give you new powers.

    The story is nothing to write home about, but then again, Doom was never a story driven game. You are a man (practically a demi god) who kills demons. If you come expecting something deep and thought provoking, look elsewhere.

    The music is amazing. The sound us amazing. The graphics are amazing (comparing to PS4 releases). Levels are well crafted. Area designs are great, but it could have done with more variety.

    Multiplayer is the only downside. I only played a few rounds before I switched it back to the campaign.

    Judge this game by the campaign alone, and it is phenomenal. Truly refreshing throwback to old school arcade FPS games that weren't there to ham fist cheesy cliched campaigns down you're throat.

My original guess was that it was going to pander to console players by making it slower ( I thought this after I saw the scroll wheel that slowed down game play.) It has been a long while since I have seen a shooter with intelligent map design, design which rewards players for playing the game at a faster pace, in fact I rarely found myself stopping in between combat, if at all. There is secrets galore in this game to. Not only that but the game itself is absolutely beautiful. From the large bosses to the small imps for pistol fodder every part of the game does not lack in design, This game reinvigorated my faith in ID. The online has obviously improved since the beta (Its great, i didn't get the chance to play the beta but I heard complaints) With a larger selections of weapons. In fact I see so many modding possibilities for the multiplayer on PC.

One thing I've come to realize while playing Doom is that most games have music that reinforces gameplay and keeps it upbeat. That's great and all, but in Doom, the music IS the gameplay. Deep nine-string guitar chords furiously bellow out between sickeningly satisfying squelches as you rip and tear the flesh and bones of Hell's armies. Wear headphones, turn the volume to max, and set the difficulty setting to Ultra-Violence (or Nightmare if you're a masochist). It's an adrenaline rush of an experience like no other.

    The campaign alone is well worth the purchase price and then some, but in addition to the campaign, Doom includes Snapmap and competitive multiplayer modes. Snapmap is a surprisingly easy-to-use level creator capable of creating entire in-depth levels and unique enemy encounters, allowing cooperative and competitive four-player community-created experiences. It's really quite impressive, and there are already several thinking-outside-the-box modes such as a farming simulator and tower defense mode. The possibilities are truly limitless, and to make it better, it's being constantly updated with further creation tools.

    The multiplayer mode will either be a total disappointment or a pleasant surprise depending on what you were looking for. It uses a loadout and level up/prestige system, demolishing its potential for a classic arena shooter experience, but the gameplay is still just as solid, responsive, and polished as the single player campaign. That said, the vortex rifle paired with a shotgun is kind of the ultimate loadout, at least at the moment, due to both weapons being reliable high-hitting damage dealers. Overall, give multiplayer a shot and see if you like it. If not, you still have a solid campaign and map creator to sate your demonic bloodlust.    … Expand

    I'm starting to love this trend of classic first-person shooters getting a brand new, yet faithful revival. Wolfenstein: The New Order and now this beast! That's honestly an understatement for this game, though. Doom is the kind of game you wouldn't expect to come out today. The game isn't perfect by any means, but I can see it having an impact on the gaming industry for awhile. Let's get into why that is.

    Campaign
    Doom's campaign is very much Doom. It's a first-person shooter with a fast, frantic pace and gore all over the place. All the guns feel great and are a joy to destructively blow through demons as deadly as you can. The main combat in the game takes place in usually large arenas. Like Uncharted 4's shootouts, they're dynamic, challenging, and totally fun. You can also perform amazingly satisfying "Glory kills" after getting the demons' health down to a certain point. They act like executions, but I would definitely call them an essential part of the gameplay since they also drop much-needed health benefits. The more you play, the more they fit into the game. Once you get used to their nature, they don't slow the game down one bit. Doom also has some great elements of exploration implemented throughout its campaign. There's secret collectibles, rooms, classic Doom maps,weapon mods, and bonuses for your character. Yes, I did just mention bonuses for your character. There is a progression system in this game, and I really liked it. You can upgrade your weapons, the Praetor suit's unique abilities, and basic health and ammo attributes. I have to bring up the story of the game, too. It knows that it doesn't have to be a big part of the game itself, which is very good. However, it still acknowledges that it needs to be there somewhat to give a little bit of context for all the demon-slaying. You're obviously not playing this game for the story - but it is there. I will admit - it took me a little while to get into Doom's campaign. It starts off slow and doesn't throw much variety at you near the beginning. Once more enemy types and weapons come into play, though, it becomes a ferociously fun experience. In fact, the last third (maybe even more than that portion) is some of the best and most fun action I've ever played in a first-person shooter - maybe even gaming in general! Needless to say, the best part about Doom is its campaign, but the other modes included are also very good and add a good amount of content and replayability.

    Multiplayer
    Doom's multiplayer is, in a way, a totally different beast. In other ways, it's similar to other regular multiplayer shooters - which isn't always a bad thing. If I had to name other games' elements that are included here, I'd say it's similar to Halo 5, Call of Duty, and Quake. It's pretty fast-paced. I'm also glad to report it's fairly skill-based. It rewards accuracy and correct weapon-usage. However, there is one part of the multiplayer that turns against that skill-based characteristic. That would be the demon runes. They are, without a doubt, my least favorite part of this mode. They're overpowered, take no skill, and just overall mess up the enjoyable flow of the matches. The game also has a number of great multiplayer modes, including one particularly fun and unique one called Freeze Tag (it's exactly what it sounds like!). I've been having a lot of fun with the multiplayer, and I see myself playing it for a long time.

    SnapMap
    SnapMap is my least favorite mode in this game. I appreciate that it's there - greatly, in fact - but there just wasn't much done with it. SnapMap is where you can create your own special maps and play others people have created. It works with both single player and competitive maps. I am not a creator in these modes by any means, so I really didn't care to make anything. So to make this mode worth my while, I obviously have to play other people's maps. It's not that the maps I've played are bad, they just aren't that interesting. The tools for creation here just aren't as robust in something like, say, LittleBigPlanet. From what I experienced in this mode, the maps I played just feel like filler.

    Final Words
    I think every gamer should give Doom a shot. It's an amazingly fun, unique, and rewarding experience throughout. The game is obviously worth it mainly for its campaign, but the multiplayer will also satisfy the competitive gaming side of everyone.    … Expand

    Loved it so much on PC I bought it as an excuse to replay it on my PS4 Pro. 1 point lower than my score for the PC version because controller doesn't perform as well as M&K for true shooters, which DOOM 2016 is.

    Still love the game though!

    Terrific action shooter that entertains from begining to end. Gameplay is very satisfying while the graphics and sounds are very good. I also think the music to accompany the action fits very well as it adds adrenaline. This is my first Doom game and I'm very impressed. Even now im itching to go back to this game to play some more. Game comes highly recommended for people who like shooting games.

So let's just say I know what's up. Now the best part of this game for so far is the fluidity of the environments and the gameplay as it pertains to 60 FPS. Never have I actually noticed that a framerate mattered until this game, cuz basically I didn't care. From Atari to NES to SNES and so on a good game is a good game. But this silk soaked in vaseline contraceptive motion awesomeness is freaking obvious right out of the gate. It never slows down no matter how many fireballs are being thrown at you or how many times you jump from platform to platform running for your life. Hint...RUN! Just do it. Don't think or plot or look around much cuz...DEAD that's what you will be. It's say, 50% faster than Destiny...well maybe it's the music making me feel that way. HOLY CRAP the MUSIC! The music is almost the best part of this whole game...it's atmospheric and pounding like a KISS concert on crack. I started out on the hardest difficulty but then switched down a level because I felt I was missing the graphics and music because I was too busy RUNNING! Gonna switch back tonight I think, now that I have the lay of the land.

    Now the reason I gave it a 9 is because there is not character creation...and I don't need an extravagant one. I have a 14 yr old daughter who likes to game and I get annoyed that you can't be a girl. And let's be real, a girl holding a chainsaw screaming at you would be damn petrifying!    … Expand

Although, this game focuses on gameplay to make its experience superb. Now is the experience superb? No. But it's pretty great in my opinion. The graphics are stunning, and so is the world. There will be many moments where you just stop, and look at the scenery around you. THAT is what hell looks like. There are many enemies, therefore you use different tactics to defeat each one, so you will find yourself thinking and playing a lot more strategic than you may expect. The missions have great structure. There are many secrets in each mission that may leave you coming back to play the missions 2-3 times to find all of them. And after you do that, the multiplayer in Doom is great! It's very fluid and it feels natural, and it's extremely enjoyable. Maybe not to the level of Call of Duty or Battlefield in terms of multiplayer, but it is a great experience. The snapmap maker feature is also very welcomed, it is extremely intuitive and user friendly. It is enjoyable to make your own maps, and some people have already made some pretty incredible things. Now, you shouldn't be buying Doom for the multiplayer though. This is a Doom game, and it does a great job at solidifying that, it doesn't really take anything from the popular FPS's as of late, it stays true to itself, and it shows, and succeeds at doing so. Now, this game does exactly what you would want it to do, or expect it to do. The weapons are amazing as well, and you can customize them, along with your Praetor suit which is your armor. You can also customize the colors of your armor and weapons in multiplayer. This game is great. I'm not giving it a 10 though, because it is not a masterpiece, but I am giving it a 9, because you literally cannot want more from a Doom game. I don't see how anyone can give this game anything less than an 8/10.… Expand

I only died if I fell off a platform or blew myself up. The thing that saves this title for me and what keeps it in my collection is... it's DOOM and being stranded on mars with thousands of aliens and a BFG will always be dear to me.

    Multiplayer is ultra fun to play! There is just this amaizing amount of good decisions (Get all weapons very early through the MP/ No set back after Echelon). The game is full with plenty of these smart decisions imo and what looks first as a simple brainless shooter is very well thought through when you look close.

But the Devil's a back-stabbing prick and Mars' UAC facility is now a blood-soaked den of evil. Demons and undead fiends stalk the formerly pristine hallways while the greater envoys of Hell plan to expand their territory and engulf the solar system in blood and despair. However, the demons aren't the deadliest thing roaming Mars. Driven by the oldest, purest hate but sporting an arsenal of devastating futuristic weaponry, Doomguy returns to show both the demons and the FPS genre how to do **** right. Forget about deliberate pacing, regenerating shields, or cover-based combat; everything here is a hyper-kinetic orgy of gore, guns, and unparalleled badassness. Unfortunately, Doomguy's staggering speed and prowess occasionally results in enemies getting left too far in the dust and breaking the pace of the combat. You'll zip through battle blowing apart demons so fast that you'll often be left waiting for the game to catch up and spawn more enemies. It also doesn't help that the game relies a little too much on combat arenas that lock you in a location and don't let you progress until you've wiped out several cumbersome waves of enemies. When these arenas are large enough, and most of them are, then this isn't a problem. But it definitely is a large blow against a modern game with old-school stylings to allow itself to become too formulaic, regardless of how exhilarating it all is. Thankfully, everything outside of the combat measures up amazingly well. The level design is slick, atmospheric, and always allows a lot of room for exploration which is necessary if you want to find the excellent weapon mods and power-ups which add a significant boost to the already exciting combat. Guiding the action is a surprisingly well-written story about betrayal and revenge which never impedes the gameplay and gives both Doomguy and the player the perfect motivation for wanting to plunge headlong into a fray of demons with a roaring chainsaw.

There are not any horror aspects into it, no dark rooms, no flash lights whatsoever and generally there is no trace of doom 3 visible in solo experience. This can be a good thing or a bad thing based on your own preferences. The single player mode is basically within the idea of kill and proceed. It starts very slow in early levels and it goes beyond your expectations in terms of its speed and pace in future levels. the action is awesome and you can feel the survival in it. The glory kills are nice addition to the game as well and they are totally optional. The additional violence in comparison to doom 3 is a welcome feature which adds more excitement and breath taking moments . Each level has a good area design in terms of depth and size and it is designed in a way that you can hover around and battle with demons based on your strategies. Fortunately loading are short enough and check points and reasonable as well. There are explorations involved in the levels as well if you interested to go after secrets and collectibles. Another nice addition is guns and the variety of upgrades available for them as well as you suit. The upgrade tokens can be earned through given challenged in each level which is a very nice addition to the game-play and you can feel how powerful you slowly become through out the campaign mode. as for always demon designs and boss fights are amazing as they have always been. In terms of visual, PS4 version has a smooth 60fps performance, visuals are good but they are not anything beyond "good" . based on the level of difficulty the single player can take anywhere from 8 to 13 hours.
    The second part is multiplayer. Perhaps its the biggest let down because it has no addition and innovation in comparison to other games. HAving demon mode its a nice addition to overall pace of the game but its nothing spectacular. modes are pretty standards, map are OK and enough, tones of untouchables as well. at this stage provided that it might become boring after a while i am not sure going for season pass is a good idea !
    Next stop is snapmode which i believe many have been waiting for. sadly it comes wit so much disappointment and lack of variety in it. one thing is that you can make hell levels which is a huge disappointment. but there is actually enough depth within its limits in order to build things and download them from the share hub (does not requires ps plus unless u wanna connect and coop or share your maps) and extend your solo experience. But obviously we have 2 wait for more than 1-2 week to see true potential of the snap mode based on user created maps.
    Overall i can say DOOM package worth your money if you are into a complete action packed game. But if you have been waiting a true sequel to doom 3 then i suggest perhaps wait a bit for game to become cheap enough !    … Expand

    I have not played any previous DOOM game, so I went into the new DOOM with really no expectations of what it was going to be like other than the game play on YouTube before it's release.

DOOM is everything I want in a FPS game. It is fast paced, challenging, and just pure chaotic fun. Even on Normal difficulty, there were times where, I'm not ashamed to say, I died and would have to be a little bit more strategic concerning when to pick up armor, health, or power-up abilities that are placed around the map in order to win the battle. The weapon upgrade system puts a fun twist on the game, making it a challenge to master all of the weapons abilities before the end of the game. The multiplayer is classic arena gameplay, bringing back the classic fast paced action that so many arena style players have been begging for. If you like the multiplayer from the old Halo games , I would definitely give this a try. The multiplayer needs an actual leaderboard system, but other than that it is pretty solid. This game is a fresh breathe of air into the kind of stale and repetitive FPS genre. Whether it be collecting hidden collectables, mastering your weapon's abilities, and kicking trash on single player with intense glory kills, or kicking it back and playing a casual game of chaotic arena style multiplayer, DOOM is a game I am going to see myself playing for a long time.… Expand

Unless I am completely addicted looking at you bloodborne . I like to think things over let the review marinate and really think about it . I'm older I'm married and I have children I have a crazy job etc as I'm sure most of us do . I'll sit down with a title a couple of hours at a time and start to form my review . Also if you've read any of my reviews I'm an old guy compared to you whippersnappers so I like to give my personal experience and backstory with storied franchises . This may come off as fanboyism but all I'm trying to do is convey how special a title is if it is still relevant today . Games mean different things to different people as well as the memories associated with them .

    In 1985 we lived on the south side of Chicago I quickly became friends with the kid across the street and we quickly became best friends . He also introduced me to the wonderful world of gaming . In 1992 my buddy moved to the suburbs . Not really that far but when you're a kid ..... Anyway once in awhile I would still go over to his house and we'd hang out play games whatever . In 1993 I went to visit and in his room he had a gateway pc with sound card and shareware version of something called doom . Now being used to new and sega consoles this was my first experience with both a pc and a pc game .

    I was wowed the sound the enemies the guns and the gore and the environment . It was total sensory overload for me and blew me away . I loved the game as well as doom 2 and final doom . This game is the daddy of all first person shooters yes wolfenstein came before it but this was the one that captivated kids parents clergy and politicians alike there was simply nothing else like it and there wouldn't be for a long time until last Friday .

    Upon booting up the game and selecting nightmare difficulty I was tossed into the fray . Within 10 seconds I was in combat strafing running and wait just what the hell is this jumping ?. I felt a little turned off . I ran through the first 3 maps using only a measly handgun . I was starting to lose faith it just didn't feel like doom . Then it all clicked for me . I started getting those old feelings again and adapted my playstyle accordingly . Next thing I know I'm surrounded by a multitude of demons all pining for my marine flesh or to turn my spleen into a sock puppet . The weapons start booming the music kicks in and the death rattles echo .

    Make know mistake doom is dumb . There's no social commentary about violence or religion or child soldiers . Nope just shotguns and putting a moonroof in some big baddies face . Run kill demons rinse and repeat . I have heard this game called smart . Not a word I would use to describe gameplay but in terms of design ?. Doom is a Rhodes Scholar . I admit I was worried but the designers did their homework . From enemies to weapons to movement this is doom . Then when you discover things like the classic doom maps hidden within levels just sends the nostalgia factor through the roof . Most people grin when they see the bfg . Not me I grin when after 20 years I'm seeing the very best old doom levels and just how much they impacted game design . Dooms level design to designers is like Casablanca ro film buffs it's just timeless and totally relevant even today .

    Doom could have did the stupid thing and tried to reinvent the wheel . Nope they took everything that made doom great giving it a modern aesthetic while still retaining its classic roots . Doom isn't willing to compromise its vision of what they want this franchise to be and that is so rare and refreshing in this day . The sound level design enemies and weapon animations are fantastic . I'm not a frames per second stickler and quite frankly I'd prefer that it run just a little slower so that my ps4 doesn't do its best imitation of a f-18 leaving the flight deck of an aircraft carrier . It's smooth fast and it rarely stutters but it will send your fan into overdrive . Playing in a 60 degree room with 2 fans cooking the console I could still hear the fan OVER a turtle beach headset so I wouldn't reccomend extended play sessions . None of that takes away from the game though .

    Id could have played it safe and made this a game full of modern concessions . The glory kills for example highlight enemies in a blue orangeish hue after they have been staggered . This prompts you to preform a brutal melee glory kill that also replenishes health and sometimes ammo . In short this is the doom you've been waiting for . Oh and my best friend ?. Lives across the street again and tonight we are going to Slay some demons just like in 93 . Funny how things come full circle isn't it ?.    … Expand

    It's Serious Doom, and that's not a bad thing. It's similar to Serious Sam 3 in a lot of ways, including the melee system and how alt fire works on the weapons. Gameplay follows Sam's formula, walk into an area and trigger the monsters, there are usually a few already there, but more teleport into the fight in waves as you fight. Once an area is cleared, you stock up on health and ammo andIt's Serious Doom, and that's not a bad thing. It's similar to Serious Sam 3 in a lot of ways, including the melee system and how alt fire works on the weapons. Gameplay follows Sam's formula, walk into an area and trigger the monsters, there are usually a few already there, but more teleport into the fight in waves as you fight. Once an area is cleared, you stock up on health and ammo and move on to the next.

    It's not quite the same, melee is the primary means of healing as it results in health drops. You do need to shoot most enemies to weaken them before you can do this. Traversal is also a bigger element here than it is in Sam.

    It also takes elements of Brutal Doom and mixes them into the formula. It's quite gory and the kills are quite a spectacle.

    The result is a fast and fun old school style shooter with Doom 3 style visuals that are newer and shinier. Single player alone is well worth the price of admission.

    Plus there's a Little Big Planet style map editor system called Snap Map that will give plenty of replay once you tire of the campaign. Users can create both single and multiplayer maps, so regardless of your preference you'll have tons to do after you've escaped Hell in the campaign.

    Haven't messed with the MP, but I've heard it's similar to Quake and UT. I'm not a MP guy and don't care much, the rest of the game is more than enough to satisfy me.

    Doom is grand and doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. After Doom 3 fans asked for a throwback to classic FPS gameplay, and ID delivered exactly that.    … Expand

    After finishing the game, I finally get why this is named DOOM and not Doom 4.
    Because this is Doom at its core, its more Doom than anything in existence. Hard as nails, with great soundtrack and even greater gameplay full of awesome maps, demons, speed, secrets and a hell of fun, this is DOOM, and this is the best fps experience I've ever had.

    Pleasantly surprised by this game. I didn't have much expectations going in, and wasn't hyped to play this but decided to purchase it because a few friends were getting it. I have to say that the fast pace is super refreshing and makes you feel like a total badass. I'm enjoying chaining kills together and the rush you get when your low on health in the middle of a battle. The upgradesPleasantly surprised by this game.

Haven't tried multiplayer yet but I would give the game an 8/10 based on the shooting mechanics and fun I'm having with the campaign. Have not seen anything groundbreaking yet so I don't want to go higher than an 8, but definitely worth a pick up if you're in the mood for something new and fun to add to your collection.

    Happy killing :)    … Expand

    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.
