    First of all, DOOM is to be experienced on Hard difficulty (and higher difficulties) ONLY, otherwise it's not DOOM and you are a little sissy for choosing any lower difficulty .

Checked. Thrilling feel of being unstoppable brutal machine of death? Checked.
    You can turn off almost all of the new mechanics so difficult ceiling is pretty high, there are two locked badass difficulties. From this fact comes a statement that DOOM has a high replayability. Tired of single player mode? Well, how about a old school quake-like multiplayer? No problem, dude. Not a huge fan of PvP. Then there is a "Snapmap". Were the community are to use map creating tool to make kick-ass maps of various kinds. From arenas and single player levels to PvP arenas between demons and persons and a 4-man **** raids.

    The only thing that is bad about the game that i managed to find is unpretentious story. And for the person who played the **** out of first two games and enjoyed the third one it's, honestly, not a big **** deal.

DOOM also offers Multiplayer, which it borrows heavily from other Top rated Shooters out right now such as Halo and COD. Multiplayer offers multiple game modes ranging from TDM to king of the hill type modes. if PVP isnt your fancy well then theres SnapMap. SnapMap allows you to create your own experiences using a building block type design. all in all DOOM is a complete experience that ive enjoyed very much.… Expand

    Briliant. I was worried when no pre release got released for reviews as that's usually a sign of a turkey, this most certainly is not, on the contrary it's absolutely class! Fast, gnarly, and a total rush to play

    None of the trailers gave this game justice. Damn is it fun! Is it like old doom? In some ways yes, in some other, no but I like it for what it is. Best 60 dollars I spent since the launch of the new consoles. Even considering buying a copy for my best friend Jacob.

    Well I must say I was getting a little worried about this game since I preordered it and I usually don't preorder games. Doom did not disappoint. I am only a few hours in but it gave me enough time to tell whether or not I enjoy it. In fact within the first 10 mins I didn't want to put the controller down.

    Doom doesn't waste time by trying to explain why you're doing what you're doing I was blasting demons within minutes. It's gun play is addicting, satisfying and fantastic. Probably the best shooters I have played...ever and I am a big FPS fan.

    I missed out on doom 3 but I have played it here and there and I can tell why some did not like it. I did enjoy what I played though but this game is way different. It's pretty much a middle finger to doom 3. It's gory and glorious. Sometimes you just want to plop down and shoot stuff and this is the best way to do so.

    I recommend playing with headphones and in the dark. I have a smart LED light and I been playing with the light in a red color which just adds to the atmosphere.

    Pick this game up if you're a fan of the FPS genre and remember paying FPS games before confusing stories and cut scenes. The best thing about this is it does let you explore and you should. The gameplay is so fast that it's hard to step back and appreciate the work Id did on this but I encourage it.

    MP is fun and fast. Nothing too spectacular here but it's fun. I really bought it for the campaign.    … Expand

    If your looking for a movie or a nice sweet little story, this game is not for you. DOOM's graphics top anything else, sounds and music are perfect and it is so much fun. Can't get tired of blood and gore so the ''repetitive'' argument does not apply to me.

    Excellent first person shooter - one of the best games of 2016. Made the mistake of getting this game right in the middle of finals last year... hahaa...

    Seriously though. If you were bored out of your skull with FPS games in the last 7-10 years, you NEED to give DOOM a shot. Feels like home!

    Awesome game, deffinitly was a suprised when I tried the demo. They did everything right, but the online multiplayer isn't the best. But you don't play Doom for the multiplayer, you play it to kill hordes of demons like a marathon runner jacked up on steroids and meth. NO RELOADS! In the end you will feel like such a bad ass, very worth it.

    First, I want to say "Shut up and take my money".

    Doom is beautiful. Excellent music for battle with demons. How long have there been no games that challenge you. Here, no one will drive you by the handle. There is no shooting range "with advanced" AI.

    Here, health is not restored itself. Yes, this is the same Doom straight from 1994, but in a modern cover.

    Ahora cosas que no me gustaron, la I.A. de los enemigos y su repertorio de movimientos; mientras que el desarrollo del personaje en jugabilidad brilla contrasta muy fuerte con la simplicidad de los enemigos, los patrones de conducta son muy obvios, siendo dos o tres animaciones, ademas de la falta de estrategia por parte de los NPCs, que al fin al cabo se convierten en dianas con dientes suicidas que corren hacia el personaje en todo momento, lo que deriva en que el reto sea mas por el numero de enemigos que por la calidad de comportamiento de los mismos, a nivel individula y grupal.

    Aspectos que me encantaria ver en la segunda entrega (y por Dios, espero que los desarrolladores lean las reviews de los jugadores) es la implementacion de una IA para los NPCs, mucho mas dinamica y coordinada, lo que siginificaria que los NPCs manejen coberturas, flanqueen o hagan emboscadas, y en la tematica del infierno que maneja el juego de manera intrinseca, se desarrollen nuevas estratagias, aporvechando las cualidades de cada personaje, un ejemplo las criaturas mas fuertes pueden empezar lazando objetos del escenarios o crear barricadas para que otras criaturas disparen o que los demonios de mayor rango puedan crear efectos de clima como lo es, lluvia de sangre con rayos, llamas, zombies y espadas que salgan del suelo.    … Expand

    This is DOOM in 2016, incredible gameplay and had me on the edge of my seat at all times. You aren't held down by story elements, however the story is told to you in such a way that it flows with the demon killing. This game has more content than most these days, and is well worth the $60. Just remember you have a chainsaw!

    Doom is fun. Simply put. At it's core is fast paced combat, strong game play mechanics, and the simple goal of murdering demons before they murder you. The story really falls by the wayside, but that doesn't matter, as it's the shooting and the bloody, visceral combat that's the main draw here. You kill your demonic foes in numerous ways, from close range shot gun blasts, to chainsawing them in half and getting rewarded with more ammo for your many, many guns. There's no reloading, as well - which aids in the flow of combat, allowing you to keep a fast pace as you zip around the large, open arenas, occasionally preforming a glory kill on a hapless hell spawn in order to get your health back up. Coupled with this, there's a large amount of upgrades to help bolster you on your mission; from weapon upgrades, to upgrades for your suit (some, such as the one making you immune to explosive barrels, are somewhat more useful than others), to runes gained from completing challenge arenas. All of it serves to make the game more fun, and a worthwhile venture at any rate.

    First-Person Shooter

    Was it fun?

    Yes, I very much enjoyed playing through this game.

    Are there any similar games?

    It is a very standard first person.

    Favorite World/Stage?

    I really enjoyed going to Hell. I know how that sounds but they were fun levels.

    Would you play it again?

    Yeah, one day I’ll play it on a higher difficulty.

    Any Complaints?

    In one of the levels, there was an element of platforming. You had to climb up, jumping from platform to platform. I’m not a fan of platforming in the first person. I find its very hard to judge your jumps. I died more on that one level than I did the entire game.

    How many hours did you play it?

    Somewhere around 12-13 hours. Its perfect length for this type of game.    … Expand

    First of all the graphics are amazing. Doom 3 looked overblendered but Doom 2k16 has a really decent artwork. Even with not being native the 4k patch looks amazing. So far I didnt encounter any frame drops but certainly produces much noise on the system.

    The soundtrack is absolutely topnotch. Although its mostly very heavy music I have to say its mixed in perfectly to set accents on the scenes you encounter in the campaign. The sound is hard, heavy, fast paced. Your adrenaline goes up instantly and makes the fight even more pumping. They did a good job on that one. Although taste might differ of course.

    The controls are decent, even for console. There is a certain aim assist but I feel its less heavy then in other shooters. I m not the best in terms of console aim and the game is really fast paced more like the oldschool 90s shooters which is very unforgiving. The AI is not ultra clever but it will seek you out somewhen most of the time, so covering is not always a good solution. But if you acknowledge the game and its rules there is much fun to discover. Go right in the brawl melee shotgun the demons, glory kill them, get life back, find the next one, switch weapon and wreck the rest. Very satisfying!

    The world is a nice concept of a semi-open world that interconnects via story telling. The mini-map does assist good although I like the simple markers more. Mini achievements bring bits of difference but most of them will be achieved anyways if you just play, kill and look behind corners. The rune runs are a nice addition. They put you out of campaign into an arena like setting where you have to kill or achieve a goal with a certain gun in a certain amount of time. Not the worst idea although pretty simplistic overall.

    The story itself is pretty typical for Doom. Nothing new but its just what you came for and it ll be delivered without unnecessary hazzle.

    After all the open world and multiplayer driven shooters that were produced, Doom 2k16 is definetely one of the best single player campaign shooters I have played in DECADES. The sound mixing is brilliant, the OST is pumping, movement is very fast and smooth even on consoles. Weapons are fun and can be modified for individual play style. It brings different mini components to mix up the drill.

    To me Doom 2k16 is a true successor of the old glory that was named Doom 2. For prices below 10 bucks please get this game and give it a try at least.    … Expand

Doom 2016 manages to retain the same fast-action paced adrenaline filled gameplay of the originals, completely reviving one of the most important titles of the gaming industry.

    This game doesn’t f*ck around! Use your baddass arsenal to slay demons! As you progress though the levels you are showered with hordes after hordes of different types of monsters, increasing the difficulty as it goes on; after killing the waves, exploration is pretty welcome as there is much to uncover with some cool items that really can make a difference gameplaywise.

    Those items are basically your upgrades “fees”, letting you maximize your health/ammo, giving you great passive effects and my favorite: weapon mods. The balance between the intense horde and exploration makes for an amazing experience and although the game is around 15 hours-long it does seem longer since there is no “downtime”.

    As expected from a Doom title, the game is pretty challenging. I played on the hard mode (Ultra-Violence) and I died a lot, especially at the beginning as my inventory was lacking and I was still learning the ins and outs of the game. As they advise you: standing still is death! So I changed the controls in a way I could jump with L1 making it for a much better fluid gameplay as I moved like crazy during fights.

    The ammo is something you must manage so changing weapons and using your entire arsenal is a necessity and very fun since the weapons are all great, very diverse and have their own niche of usage.

    Doom also reminds the lazy developers of other games how good music enhances the experience. The heavy metal it plays fits perfectly with the chaotic nature of the game and its gruesome fights; so much better than the current trend of having no music.

    As for the downsides: the game could use some puzzles despite finding keycards to open gates and there should be more bosses as there are only four, they are very challenging but they could use some work.

    Another thing that I don’t like is that sometimes the game arbitrarily halts your backtracking by closing a gate or something impeding you to 100% the level. I understand when it’s a cliff you can’t back up but random gates popping up are annoying.

    All in all Doom is an awesome testosterone filled game! No microtransactions, no downtime, no bullsh*t, just run‘n gun using your badd*ss arsenal to send demons back to the depths of hell!    … Expand

    A puzzle game where you have to think what to kill first in what way, using your resources with intelligence. Yes, that is Doom (2016). And the story bits that you find along the way are interesting enough and create a sense of madness and evil that impregnates every corner of Mars.

    This somehow what you want a Doom game to be in 2016. At the core you are just shooting demons over and over again but it is so well done that it is a blast. Multiplayer is meh. The map creation tool is not something I want to do and playing the user created levels was lame. Otherwise worth the money for the single player experience.

    Music is insane. Not just the songs themselves but just the absolute perfect timing of the drop of hard metal music right when you blow the first demon away with a shotgun as a horde comes for you. The secrets are great and the fact that the music lowers to Q to you that you can now chill and jump around and look for some secrets.

    The leveling up is awesome and adds depth too the game. The guns are fun and creative and every gun is fun to use. You think to yourself, oh i haven't used this bad boy in a bit, time to take it for a spin. the upgrades on the guns are active and physical. they add a new attack and also change the look of the gun. and when you buy two different upgrades you can toggle between the two with a tap of a button and watch your character pull off the rockets attachment (for example) and put on the sniper scope.

    Then there is the chainsaw... super fn strong but has just the right balance with the fuel gauge on it. so let's say you upgrade to 5 fuel slots, you can take out a big a$$ demon with it and deplete your fuel in one kill. or you can kill 5 smaller demons with it. These chainsaw kills are incredible. Just google a few, but not all of them. Save some as a surprise for yourself.

    The up close and personal melee kills are the perfect speed where you get to enjoy the animation for a second but short enough not to interrupt the fast paced game play. Also you are gifted extra HP drop when you pull it off, same goes for the chainsaw except extra ammo drops.

    The level designs get more complex as the game progresses and are big enough for you to get your fill on wondering around but small enough that you feel like you keep moving and having fun around every corner. On top of that... the graphics are very good.

    So if you are looking for a game that doesn't take itself too seriously and knows how to have fun, then DOOM is for you. You may say scary games aren't for you, but the music gets you so hyped up that you get more in the mental state of "ok you demon scum, time to die" and less "omg demons!"

    For me, this was a must buy and I found that out after I bought it. But if you are reading this and on the edge just go rent it at a redbox or borrow from a friend.

    I'll be honest I have yet to step foot into multiplayer. All i did was customize my character then left. But that just goes to show how good single player is.

    Hope you get a chance to play!

    As to the campaign, while it is very well thought out, I did feel the game didn't include enough secrets. Or more accurately the secrets were far too easy to find. I remember in the original Doom there were tons of secrets, many of which to a long time to find. However the classic Doom areas were pretty cool.

    Really cool all the creature redesigns, just a shame there weren't any original creatures (cyber mancubus and exploding possessed don't count.) In fact a few of them were not there. But in all fairness the ones put there were given allot of care and attention to detail, even feeling allot like their classic counterparts.

    Weapons were done right, all there plus some new ones. Mods and mod challenges were a great idea. However, I did think the chainsaw was a bit overpowered when compared to its classic counterpart. Glory kills are really cool, at first. But do get a bit repetitive once you've seen them for the umpteenth time.

    Soundtrack is great and does its best to recapture the feel of classic Doom. Tracks aren't as memorable but decent enough. Creatures just don't impress at all in terms of sound. In the classic doom, all the creatures sounded scary and could make you wet yourself just for sounds alone.

    Story is surprisingly decent and fits the lore pretty well. It's still weak, but allot better than I had expected.

    Overall:
    Doom 2016 is a decent modernisation of Classic Doom, and I don't think it could be improved without taking away the air of nostalgia it desperately is trying to maintain while pandering to modern shooter styles and tropes. Still for all my criticism I had a blast with this game and can recommend it.

    Side tip:
    Don't bother with lower difficulties. Ultra-Violence or Nightmare to get what this game is truly trying to be.    … Expand

After the criticism to multiplayer mode I was worried. I don't even want to talk about it. Fortunately, however, single-player mode saved the game.

    Doom's plot is not the focal point as it was not in classic Doom games. However I would not say that it is poorly structured: there is a lore, a background, there are characters, there are turning points. And there are documents to read that explain events, technologies, places, enemies and weapons. Like Doom 3, but less heavy, this is still a post Half-Life shooter plot. The final cliffhanger is clearly a prelude to what will follow and I liked it. And (not even too much) extravagant fan theories or unsolved questions leave enough room to believe that Doomguy's past is less clear and more mysterious than it appears.

    Notable work has been done to introduce a realistic, actual and modern, level design of the maps and at the same time to put secrets, collectibles, great verticality and real arenas where to fight. A successful union between two distant game design modes. Some weapons have, for my taste, a little too futuristic look (like the Pistol or the Combat Shotgun) but I liked all them pretty much, even new ones like the Gauss Cannon. I found the Rocket Launcher slightly underpowered, instead. Clever use mode for the Chainsaw, I must admit. BFG 9000 has less ammo than ever before compared to older games, but the feedback and satisfaction of use are impeccable. Gameplay has clearly undergone modernization: weapon upgrades, Praetor armor upgrades, Runes, pistol with endless ammunition (for what it's worth as a weapon) and glory kills with constant remuneration of health (and armor). There are various ways in which the game tends to "make life easier" for the player. So, is this new Doom an easy game? No, it wouldn't be an easy game, even if it would try. Because not only the weakest demon can wear out up to 1/3 of health with one attack, but above all for the fact that in this game you're always on the edge: if there was not a constant remuneration of health, the game would become almost impossible, because impossible is not to suffer an high constant damage. I appreciated the return of classic power-ups of both old Doom and old Quake games; in particular "Quad Damage" and "Berserk" – this latter one, paradoxically, is more fun to use here than in the old Doom, I dare anyone to say the opposite. Boss battles are very challenging and successful: even here – compared to the classic Doom games or Doom 3 – knowing and studying the boss's patterns and having strategy and fast reflexes is required. It's not enough just shooting them and the one I found the most challenging was against Hell Guards. Enemies' AI is rather smart, implacable and aggressive. I greatly appreciated return of both Doom's classic demons and new ones, and I think almost they all are very successful. In particular the Mancubus and Cyber-Mancubus, the Hell Knight (heritage of Doom 3), the Baron of Hell and the Revenant. Unfortunately, I hate few other ones and for hate I mean, if it was for me, I would have removed them from the game. I'm obviously talking about Possessed Security – enemies with so strong shield? In a so frenetic gameplay? Plus if they get too close they'll shot a barrage of shotgun that can kill you in a few seconds – and Summoners – too fast and strong, in addition they evoke minor demons: the chainsaw is the right weapon. But above all, for God's sake, Pinkies, I simply hate Pinkies: why, I say, why make them almost invulnerable on the front side? Why make them charging you that can literally kill you? They are annoying and are repeatedly placed in areas where it is full of other demons and not a few times Pinkies were the cause of very annoying deaths. They could have made their behavior more similar to classic Doom or Doom 3's Pinkies, without a stupid bulletproof head. In here they are a simple game design failure.

    Graphically the game is truly exceptional, yet another example of technological wonders reachable with id Tech. Except some minor graphic glitches, is incredible the rendering on PlayStation 4, surrounded by a monstrous optimization at 60 frames per second. After all, we are talking about the evolution of the same graphics engine that ran Rage at 60 fps on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in 2011, with one of the best graphics at the time. Excellent was also Mick Gordon's work on the soundtrack, with a nice mix of heavy metal genres; "Best Music/Sound Design" award at The Game Awards 2016 was more than deserved.

    Doom is a game we needed. It brought the past into the future and succeeded well. It seems that what is old, is new now. The spirit has remained intact, the game works even if it has some defects. Now we hope well for Doom Eternal: please id... do better things and do not be foolish.    … Expand

    Best FPS I have played in years. Great soundtrack. Great gameplay. Great graphics. The singleplayer mode is very enjoyable (haven't played multiplayer yet) and will keep you entertained long after completion.

    Mindless! Crazy! Fun! The most fun I've had on a console in a long, long time. Graphics are fantastic and the game play is excellent. It's extremely addictive and the glory kills are so much fun. For me, personally, this is my game of the year - I've enjoyed it that much. I haven't delved into the multiplayer side of things just yet, as getting platinum in the singe player has kept me occupied.

    Doom is incredibly fun and is easily the best first person shooter of the year so far with a great campaign and map maker. However the multiplayer falls flat and unfortunately all future DLC will be focused on it, but the campaign is more than worth the price.

    Doom is a great FPS game and a great way to that the FPS genre can still be interesting and fresh. Doom is also the first FPS iv'e played in a long time that you could tell Bethesda just had fun with it. If you love FPSers, play Doom.

    Doom is to disembowel and lacerate demons.
    This works very well , you feel happy to rip their heads and kill them the most brutal ways.
    The game runs at 60 frames at all times .
    The feedback of the story is good, but it does not develop much.
    The graphics are very good, causing more realism in time to kill your enemies.
    But when the game starts there is a problem of 1 second in rendering

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game made me indeed remember when I was little and played the old Doom. The yellow, red and blue keys, the mazes I would get lost and the arcade pace the game goes about. The game is not very long in it's single player campaign, but as we can go back to previous stages to collect upgrades left behind, the game will have at least 15 hours of gameplay until you start doing some multiplayer.

    One thing I didn't like is that at some point we get two runes, Rich gets Richer and Armored Offensive that are too much better than the others, we get almost limitless ammunition and the game lose some depth. The game has some bugs yet, it crashed with me at least once every two missions, and a lot of players have similar complaints. I'm not taking this into consideration in my evaluation, since I know it will be fixed soon, but for such an expensive game, and to some extent simple, it should not have happened.

    The game kept the arcade style of the series, we aim down the sights with just a few weapons, the others have modified fire by pressing the right mouse button. The character moves fast and in this game I saw something that I never had seem before, we can finish the enemies with melee attacks. At first it seemed not such a good idea, but it doesn't hurt the rhythm of the battle at all and add more gruesomeness to the game.

    If you want a terror atmosphere this game is not for you. The character is a very powerful hero, we don't feel afraid or worry about what is lurking in the darkness, the battles are very open and predictable in areas that are similar to arenas. The immense power of our hero and the great quantity of enemies that attack us make for a fast paced arcade game focused on the action, not terror.

    The music is very nice, but I thought the game is a little too colorful. I'd expect something more grim and gloom. Our character never speaks, which is good, since it avoids the danger of creating a bad personality and it's easier to identify with. We deal with just two NPCs, that are machines. In short, a very nice game if you want speed and action.    … Expand

    Doom is a continuation/reboot of the classic mid-90s shooter of the same name, although at first glance you may mistake it for Rage which was also released by id Software in 2011.

Unlike a lot of games that attempt to modernize releases of the past, Doom stays mostly faithful to the classic style that made the game so popular. You move around the maps extremely quickly, in a motion that isn't so much running as it is gliding. I like to imagine that your character has one of those hoverboard things strapped to his feet and that's what he's rolling around on. Most of the levels are based around key hunting puzzles that you have to solve when you aren't up to your eyeballs in hordes of demons. There are health and armor pickups that you need to hunt down when your health is low rather than simply hiding behind the nearest wall. And the weapons all feel satisfying to use and never need to be reloaded (except for one, which was almost never used for that exact reason).

    Another thing Doom loves is it's upgrades. They come in three main flavors: character upgrades, weapon upgrades, and weapon upgrades for your weapon upgrades. This may sound confusing so I'll clarify: the weapon upgrades add a secondary firing ability to your weapons, while the weapon upgrades for the weapon upgrades further enhance that ability with things like more powerful shots and reduced cooldowns. The character upgrades and weapon upgrades are usually fairly well hidden in the game's large and open maps, meaning that exploration is both encouraged and worth your while. The weapon upgrades for your weapon upgrades on the other hand are given out like they're free samples. You get them for finding secret areas (which often contain the aforementioned weapon/character upgrades), completing in game challenges, or for simply just killing a lot of enemies. Since killing enemies is almost always required before you can proceed to the next area, you will get many of these upgrade tokens without having to sweat about it too much. And if you aren't feeling overpowered enough after all that, the game also places short term powerups in many of the battle zones. These range from very very helpful to very very useless, and I found I was really good at finding them almost immediately after I had finished killing all the enemies in the room.

    If you're playing Doom for the story then you're probably playing it for the wrong reasons, but I'll go ahead and give you the gist anyway. Doom takes place on Mars and in Hell, which looks suspiciously like Mars but with more floating platforms and blood. A group of scientists were looking to solve Mars' energy crisis, and decided the best way to go about this was to use the energy from Hell. Along the way one of the scientists decided to release a bunch of Hell's demons on the promise that she would be taken care of by the demons, because that always works out so well for those people who decide to go that route. The story is mostly played out in the background, with the Doomguy quite obviously not caring about anything that doesn't involve shooting or punching things, and to it's credit the game understands that and allows you to skip past most of it. There are a few moments when the pacing grinds to a halt and you're forced to listen to dialogue, but they're fairly short. The only story you really need to understand is this: 1. You're a badass marine. 2. There are tons of demons with copious amounts of blood, squishy organs, and bones more breakable than a suicide pact between angsty teenage girls, 3. Go nuts.

    Doom fills the void of arcade style shooter better than any game has in recent memory. It turns the mindless violence switch up to 11 from the very beginning and doesn't stop until the end credits. Enjoy killing the unambiguously evil enemies, hunt for all the secrets the game has to offer, and use the brief dialogue intermissions as an excuse to go refill your snack pile.    … Expand

    No shooter can give you the same rush as the 2016 reboot of DOOM does, at least for me. In an age in where first-person shooter are almost only about the multiplayer, it’s a relief to know that when single-player ones are created, they still kick ass.

In an age in where first-person shooter are almost only about the multiplayer, it’s a relief to know that when single-player ones are created, they still kick ass. After development hell, a fitting title to a game centred around hell. The combat in the game is fast, and absolutely bloody. Every weapon, excepting the basic Pistol, is powerful enough to be viable in any situation, but are more useful some times than others. Each one of the dozens of demons is unique in its own way, and some, like the Possessed Engineer can be a life-saver in some situations, while others are annoying pests, such as the Summoner, who teleports around the place, spawning enemies to overwhelm you. Other factors heavily, and positively, improve the combat for me, such as the removal of reloading, which saves you from slowing down or glory kills, which is one of the only ways to last on higher difficulties. The soundtrack is one of the most unforgettable in a video game, containing incredibly heavy guitars, strange pedals, in-your-face synths and even a choir when need be. Just to think what the music for this game would’ve been if Bethesda’s idea of no metal in the DOOM soundtrack had gone through. Another thing that the DOOM franchise has been pushing since the first game is graphics, and my god does this game look gorgeous. The locales are all wonderfully textured, and you’d be hard pressed to find anything that looks horrendous in this game. Secrets are littered across the world; and in every level weapons that are introduced in the next level can be found, and also Classic maps, which let you explore older maps from the first two DOOM games, and the jarring difference between the pixelated background and the beautifully rendered demons is almost comedic. The story is nothing much to worry about. It’s a normal Science-Fiction story, with humans finding a new type of energy, trying to extract it, not noticing the massive repercussions that are bound to ensue. If you still crave some more out of the game, there are a couple options, although this game’s campaign is quite a good-deal long, and extremely re-playable, especially for its miniscule price. SnapMap is a handy feature which allows you to create your very own map, and also explore other player’s creations. The game does a good job teaching you, and you can probably read every tutorial in the seven years it takes to load SnapMap. There is also multiplayer, which died quicker than a honeybee. And at least the honeybee was useful. Whereas DOOM’s multiplayer wasn’t. And if you don’t want either, well, kiddo, you’re outta options. To recap, DOOM is certainly my favourite shooter to ever be released, with its high-octane combat, unforgettable demons and even less forgettable soundtrack. I’m certainly excited for DOOM Eternal.… Expand

    I've always liked the franchise, so it's no surprise that I've enjoyed this one too. Gameplay may end up being a bit repetitive, but it's rather enjoyable overall. The settings are also full of secrets, which slightly increases the length of the game. in any case, it is the online mode that will keep you playing for a long time if you want to continue with the game after beating the main campaign.

Que nos obligará a utilizar nuestro arsenal de forma estratégica para poder con las hordas de demonios que nos van a atacar sin piedad. De forma más calmada, la exploración que se nos premia con items para mejorar la armadura o las armas, coleccionables o texto que nos explica el lore en niveles muy grandes y laberínticos.

    Se trata de un juego muy divertido, gráficamente cumplidor, recordemos que se trata de un juego de la generación anterior, con una historia simple, pero efectiva. No se necesita mucho más como excusa para masacrar demonios. El diseño de los enemigos y entornos es fiel al resto de los juegos de la saga y en definitiva es un juego must play si eres fan de los FPS.

    The reboot of Doom encourages fast-paced, crazy, off-the-wall shooter combat. It does not force you to constantly hide behind walls like most shooting games do. Picking up items is as simple as moving over them. To speed the game up even more, they should allow the scenes to be skipped.

The story here does not matter. It is very generic and forgettable but never detracts from the flow of game-play. The lore is there however but only through codex entries and some stuff in the map. The game-play and pure violence and anger portrayed through the Doom Slayer is what makes this game so special. The game is smooth and fast. The gun play feels perfect and the weapons feel diverse and creative. The enemies are all unique and have different abilities that make the battles diverse and fun to play against. The game perfectly creates fast paced battles that aren't just mindless blood fests. The strategy in strafing and evading demons and choosing who to take out first and how is super satisfying. The upgrades are quite shallow but some of the weapon abilities are super fun. The game is perfectly paced always mixing up smooth platforming, demon blasting, and spectacular boss fights. However the game does suffer a little bit from repetitive areas where your forced to take out a room of demons and move forward. While the campaign is amazing the multiplayer is disappointing. The maps are all the same and very tight corridors locking you in the same battle. Demon runes are fun at first but then just become obnoxious. Load outs do not feel right and i would have preferred a different system. Also the progression system has barley anything meaningful except for bad cosmetics and weapons that are easily unlocked. Thankfully this is partially made up for by the snap map mode which offers many creative levels and give you the tools to make your own. It also features other bonus content like the arcade mode. Overall a complete package with a very lacking multiplayer but a phenomenal campaign experience with much replay value.… Expand
