    The best Doom ever made.

    It's better than Doom 1, 2 and 3.

    Doom Eternal is not that good... It's a big disappointment

Doom é um jogo incrível que eu tive o privilégio de jogar, com uma lore interessante além de um gráfico incrível que impressiona qualquer um, sua violência e sangue é viciante, além da variedade de demônios e monstros como um demônio enorme que atira pelas mãos ou um que tem 4 armas nas costas com um jetpack, é um game que arrepia qualquer jogador de respeito… Expand

    I love Doom! The only game that never disappoints. Every single Doom game is the best. We, the Doom players want one thing. Senseless demon killing. No speaking, no drama... Nothing, but brutal killing. Classic! Doom is timeless classic, please never change that and stay that way!

    I don't like FPS but this game is just astonishing. I have to admit it's kinda buggy, but the soundtrack and game play are on another level. This is definitely a must play game.

    Динамичный шутер с неимоверным геймплеем и визуалом. Сюжета здесь по факту нет, но он и не нужен для такого жанра. Стоит потраченного времени, дарит много впечатлений.

    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.

    Every time I play I feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest, the game is that exhilarating. It doesn't waste any time with boring cut-scenes, lame characters, or long tutorials, within minutes, you have a gun and you're surrounded by demons, literally tearing their limbs out and smashing their skulls to pieces. This is a game built on pure adrenaline fueled action, it is a game where, if you stop moving, you die. You need to always be alert, moving, dodging and slaying everything in your path. This is not a game about creating suspense, atmosphere or jump scares, it is about killing demons in the most brutal fashion possible.

    I was 10 when the original Doom was released, it scared the crap out of me but I loved every minute. As an adult, I never thought I would play another game that would fill me with the same level of excitement, joy and unbridled fear but the new Doom makes me feel like a scared 10 year old again and it is amazing.    … Expand

    It is awesome game. I love it. This is type of game you want to play on the highest difficulty level. It is very hard and yet so much fun. I really enjoyed playing this game. I started playing it on PS4 and ended up finishing it on PC. It is highly recommended.

    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.

As soon as I heard about Doom 2 coming out, I had to have it. Played hundreds of hours of that game in both SP and MP with friends. It was a visceral experience unlike anything else of its time.

    Playing this latest game is absolutely nostalgic for me, but not in just wanting it to be a fantastic game, but rather how stellar it turned out to be. The music is incredibly bass-y, shakes my entire room, and pulls me right in. The combat is very arena style: you go into a new area, there's a handful of resident enemies in there that are typically fairly simple to clear out. Then you trigger the waves upon waves of enemies and this will make you go from weapon to weapon to weapon, picking what makes sense for that second before swapping again. This is not a game to creep about like Doom 3 was, you will be punished harshly for doing so as your HP and ammo comes primarily from "glory kills" which require you to quickly get in melee range and perform a killing blow. The bigger the enemy, the less time is given making it risky sometimes.

    All the classic enemies and weapons are back (not sure if any of the bosses are exceptions to that yet), and much of the old mechanics have been brought along too (looking at you keycards... my god you hide well sometimes) and they dropped all the things from Doom 3 that people despised: no flashlight, no oxygen meter, no jump scares, no more small scale fights. I personally enjoyed Doom 3 a great deal when it first released, but it was not what I could consider to be the Doom franchise should be.

    The amazing thing is how well it runs. I am able to run 80FPS at 1440p on a single (though highly OC'd and watercooled) GTX 980 and it just begs for more.    … Expand

    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!

    PS: I am a HUGE Uncharted fanboy. I stopped playing Uncharted for now to keep playing DOOM. So that's something to consider.    … Expand

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.

    Level design, while maybe not as intricate as doom 1/2 at the time of their respective releases, is relatively intricate compared to the modern linear corridor shooter. Secrets galore and alternate paths through environments. Well-paced gameplay, modernized classic doom enemies you actually have to put some thought into how you want to tackle. Plus they add quite a bit to the doom formula to innovate on things, like some genuinely interesting boss mechanics and alternate fire modes on weapons (and multiple other upgrade systems that tie into exploration of the level).

    Story-wise it doesn't take itself seriously and goes for a tongue-in-cheek vibe that I'm sure most classic Doom fans will enjoy, much more than the brooding atmospheric doom 3.

    Nonetheless, the multiplayer is still not doing much for me and feels very formulaic. Snapmap might be interesting, but I'll have to wait and see as players build levels using that in-game tool.

    The campaign though carries enough content and replayability via secrets and easter eggs that I can see myself going back time and again just for that. Needless to say this is a must-play for anyone who is dying for an evolution on single-player fps gameplay.    … Expand

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.

    As for the multiplayer, they definitely fixed the balancing issues since the beta. Every kills/deaths are fair and will motivate you to keep playing. Doom offers traditional modes such as TDM, Capture the objective, and soul hunt (which is Doom's version of kill confirmed), but adds their unique modes such as freeze tag.The hack modules customization are endless, and just about covers anyone's style

    Finally, let's talk about Doom snapmap. There are endless choices here.

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

The secrets are well hidden and reward u well for your efforts with all sorts of upgrades (health armour ammo upgrades new mods for weapons and even get certain guns a level or two early) the story is good but not taken to seriously but the depth is there for those who want it in optional data pads. You can even unlock classic maps from dooms past in each level that add to the great content of this fps campaign that is the best I've played in almost 10 years. Snapmap and multiplayer are fun distractions for a short time but the meat of the game is the campaign and its one that needs to be experienced… Expand

    This is one of the best first person shooters i've ever played.
    It's fast-paced, brutal, beautiful, challenging and filled with character.
    It's a kick in the face of almost every other modern fps. I can't recommend it enough.
    Becareful though! It's hard as hell and its checkpoints are, at times, pretty unforgiven.

    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 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.

    The campaign is a glorious (and extremely brutal) welcome back to diehard fans such as myself. DOOM now features collectibles, "glory kills" (melee finishers), weapon/armor upgrades, and the return of an open-ended singleplayer. The multiplayer is decent, but not that impressive. The SnapMap mode is really interesting but I wish I could make outdoor levels/maps. So the Campaign is really where the game shines.

    Overall it's a must-own to any fan of Doom or the FPS genre. It's the best shooter I've ever played in quite awhile. It's a game that is well worth full price.    … Expand

    Personally not a fan of the multiplayer portion, though many will enjoy it... The game is worth getting for the single player alone... reminds me of Painkiller in its speed and brutality.

    Smashing your fist through the chest of an enemy then blowing his friends skull apart with a shotgun is always going to me fun.

    An utterly brilliant homage to the old school FPS. This is quintessential Doom, updated for the modern times without forgetting what it is and where it came from. Kinetic, visceral, and impactful, DOOM delivers a delightful punch to the teeth to remind audiences what a shooter is supposed to be.

    In DOOM, game-play comes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. And by game-play I mean gun-play and by gun-play    An utterly brilliant homage to the old school FPS. This is quintessential Doom, updated for the modern times without forgetting what it is and where it came from. Kinetic, visceral, and impactful, DOOM delivers a delightful punch to the teeth to remind audiences what a shooter is supposed to be.

    In DOOM, game-play comes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. And by game-play I mean gun-play and by gun-play I mean HOLY HELL these are some fantastic weapons! Shooting is fast-paced and fun. Strafing, circling, closing in for for a melee kill, I found myself constantly staying on the move to avoid enemy fire and the game rewarding me for a clever and aggressive play-style. Nearly all weapons have two different upgrade paths that you can switch up on the fly and not a single one isn't satisfying to use. Ammo is plentiful but not plentiful enough that you won't be swapping out your weapons regularly, and the increasing variety of enemies that require different approaches and tactics means you can't get comfortable with just one or two guns to see you through the day. The games signature "glory kills" are fast and satisfying, requiring you to "stun" your enemies with well placed gun fire first before closing in to finish them off. Each glory kill you pull off rewards you with extra health, a great little risk/reward mechanic that keeps the pace of the fight up and never sees you retreating from an enemy in search of more health. The chainsaw and BFG are perfectly implemented as well, incredibly over-powered one-hit-kill weapons with very limited ammo meaning you'll need to carefully consider when to break them out but always incredibly rewarding when you do.

    Each level in DOOM is expansive and labyrinthine, as any good DOOM level worth it's salt should be. This ain't no corridor shooter, and you are encouraged to explore each environment thoroughly to discover all of the hidden secrets and unlockables this game has to offer. Traversing the environments is fast and fluid. You move at a satisfying clip and incorporate a clamber and, later, a double jump to navigate the large, vertical spaces.

    A point against DOOM could be it's rather weak and generic story. If you're looking for a world deep with lore then you might be satisfied by what is on offer through the collectible journal entries that flesh out the UAC and their Mars research facility, but the pretty intriguing idea of a corporation-turned-cult is barely explored. Arguably, focusing more on the story might have taken away from the game-play, which is DOOM's obvious first priority, but I did sometimes find myself wishing I had a bit more motivation than DEMONS: KILL.

    Another definite negative is DOOM's multiplayer offering, which feels very tacked on and is entirely forgettable. All of the kinetic energy and adrenaline found in the single player game is absent here. This is where the description "mindless shooter" fits perfectly, where not even a respectable variety of game modes can keep it from feeling wholly shallow and lifeless. DOOM's multiplayer is a temporary distraction to be played once and then never picked up again.

    But, despite these faults, in the end the game is just too much fun and I have so much praise for what it does do that it is hard to fault it for what it doesn't. DOOM is an incredibly refreshing return to form and has re-energized my enthusiasm for genre that has been, in my opinion, languishing for years, bereft of any originality and becoming stale and stagnant in the process. DOOM remembers that FPS's don't need to be a dreary slog nor do they need to take themselves seriously or rely on scripted set pieces to be incredible experiences. DOOM is a must buy for any shooter fan.    … Expand

If you come up with a story with the quality of Witcher 3 than a story is worth telling. But most games and shooters dont get close to such a high level. So than skip the entire story telling.

I grew up as a PC gamer with keyboard and mouse. This was my first shooter with a controller. But the low difficult setting is perfect. Difficult enough to be challenging. But not so difficult that I want the mouse back. Perfect balance. Like any game DOOM des have negative points. But they are small. Forst of all the gameplay is sometimes interrupted by seeking way to long to enter new environments or find keys. Especially in a game like this that downgrades the gameplay. And the background music of the game could have been much better. The game could also have a more fear in it.. But the addictive fast shooting experience eliminates th negative aspects. Bethesda did a good job here. Better than I expected to be honest.… Expand

    I just cant stay silent. DUDE!!! Nowadays there are NO GAMES skillwise like quake was!!! Wake up!! You are an ignorant - dont write about things you have no idea. Install Q1/Q2/Q3 on Your PC and try duel anyone who can play those games - Youll loose without getting any frags and youll die over 50 times in 10 minutes! These games are pure skill, nothing like post COD/BATTLEFIELD massive campfest, airstrike, bland noskill multiplayer titles. And the difference between multiplayer in Q1 (ultra fast gameplay), Q2 (slow, more tactical approach) and Q3 (mix of the first two) is also groundbreaking!

    Ok, thats enough about old Quake games, on to the DOOM. Its quite fresh, with definitelly fun frentic action, maybe a bit too chaotic - especially in multi, which seems also a bit more skill oriented than battlefields - cant say more about that, because modes involvig over 4 players playing simultaneously are too chaotic and playing fps shooter on game pad is pointless - skill starts witch attaching mouse and keyboard.
    Also I would love to see some global ladders/ranks in place of stupid perks (dumbest thing in multiplayer, where newbies are handicapped not only from being fresh to the game, but also have worse equipment/skilsets). Besides why do You start with good weapons? If they want to stay true to their roots, then we should all start with standard pistol on respawn, and grab weapons from strategic points on map - this was always giving maps A LOT of tactic and was the main reason that the knowledge of arenas were key points to win the match. Now only accuracy and proper weapon choice counts...

    Single player campaign is really nice, mindless, adrenaline pumping fun. And yeah it really feel
    great to clear difficult area of monsters. Glory kills are nice but what the hell are they doing in multiplayer part? Upgrades in single player campaign are also nice idea. For me its even better than the first 2 doom games back in their days. I am also aware, that those were turning point for gaming industry and the newest one is just a good, but forgetable game.

    Overall the game is great. I am complaining, but I have to face it - market changed, nowadays nobody wants to play really skill oriented multiplayer fps games. But You probably will enjoy this title a lot, because of sheer fun it gives. One of the best fps experience in a long time.    … Expand

    and to upgrade these weapons you have to earn upgrade points by completing in level challenges, and finding collectibles..
    Once you’ve unlocked all of the mods for a weapon, to get its mastery you have to complete another challenge…
    This system really had me searching for opportunities as well as forced me to use every weapon at my disposal.
    There are also rune challenges in these levels that unlock a rune that give you a special perk, which can also be upgraded by completing that runes individual challenge…
    Doom for the most part starts fairly average..
    I wasn’t impressed with the first few hours of the game at all…
    But thankfully as I progressed further and started to unlock new mods and skills and the levels actually started to stand out from the crowd I started to really enjoy my time...
    I was legitimately surprised at every twist and turn this game took me in…
    Dooms combat can be pretty gruesome at time especially thanks to the glory kills…
    but most enemies feel way too spongy for any of this to every feel truly satisfying and the novelty of the glory kill quickly wore off.
    But for the most part you’re in a way solving a puzzle, pulling switches and killing waves of demons on your way…
    I did get an opportunity to play on the games highest difficulty, and unfortunately playing a level on this difficulty is required for a trophy
    and I say unfortunately because it’s not fun…
    it really highlights the cheapness certain enemies have..
    You’ll die in this mode with 1 hit easily…
    Which isn’t too big of a deal if certain enemies weren’t so cheap with their attacks... mainly the demons that throw fire balls… they have extreme accuracy and can climb walls…
    you literally wont see your death coming..
    And if you die here you start the level all the way from the start.
    It’s just not worth it…
    There is a multiplayer mode here too
    6 different match types that you would recognize from most other first person shooters like team death math or domination with their own doom twist for example instead of kill confirmed you harvest souls instead of collect dog tags
    You unlock weapons abilities and demons as you level which can honestly throw the balance of a game out the windows as the higher level players who are already at the time in advantage also have the stronger loadouts and demon spawn ins…
    luckily the demons don’t feel all too over powered.. But they are definitely fun to play as and worth the effort to try and grab the demon spawn stone before someone else does...
    The doom multiplayer is super addictive and rivals the likes of killzone 2 as one of my most favorite multiplayer modes in a game…I can easily see players sticking around until the next doom comes out
    there’s also a super deep snap map mode here that lets you create scenarios, edit ai, sound lighting, spawn points and connect different logic chains for a nearly endless amount of scenarios
    If you don’t feel like creating, you van also hop into other peoples published maps.
    Doom is a great game
    There’s something here for everyone...
    a 12 hour single player campaign, a varied and addictive multiplayer, and a snap map mode to get your Picasso on.

    Doom willingly ignores the paradigms and beliefs of it's 'normal' competitors and encourages players to charge into the fray with reckless abandon. The violence is brutal, the gore is bloody and the speed is breakneck. Each battle is a test of how fast you move, what tool is best for the job and which targets you choose to prioritise before your opponents overwhelm you and defeat you. Succeeding against the odds is always rewarding, but some point towards the conclusion, the inevitable increase in difficulty doesn't hold the same appeal as it did near the beginning. Nevertheless, Doom is a near perfect shooter that pays homage to the original and also reinvents it at the same time.

    The story is threadbare and deliberately written to be absurd and ridiculous, but this is done to simply justify why the player must go to a new location, complete an objective and battle more demons in the process. Despite this fact, it is still well written, but lacks meaning and also ends on a cliff-hanger, hinting at the potential for a sequel.

    The campaign is the best feature of Doom, it's subsequent other modes like multiplayer and custom game-mode maker pale in comparison, although both deserve points for trying.

    Overall, Doom is a unique shooter that will leave a lasting impression if you're a fan of FPS games with a twist.    … Expand

Literally giving it a zero not because of the quality of the game or work of developers, but because of the actions of the publisher.

    Whatever. I could rant about people who are mad because it's not "Doom 3 Part 2", and because it's not what they expected they're emotionally rating and giving a zero score ("because if it's not what I expected, then NOTHING can be good about it!") but I won't bother. Here's my review of the campaign. I'll be honest - I was sure this game would be terrible when I saw the first in-game footage. I was wrong.

    What it does best:

    The action is the #1 main attraction of DOOM, and once you accept this game for what it is (not DOOM 3, not a horror game), you'll thoroughly enjoy each encounter. Understand what this game's goal is; intensity. DOOM is at its best when you're in a large room surrounded by a horde of hungry demons. The action is viceral, and the glory kill system provides a great risk/reward mechanic. You're always outnumbered and your health depletes fast, but glory killing a foe provides a moderate amount of health just when you think you're done for (think rally from Bloodborne). The guns and the upgrade system are very well designed. Performing unique and creative feats with your weapons allows you to unlock their top tier upgrades, forcing you to experiment with the entire arsenal so you're not just playing through the entire campaign with your one favorite weapon. The level design, secrets, and unlockables are all masterfully well done. The controls are also very well tuned.

    What it does well:

    At first, I didn't like the speed of the game. However, when the game started introducing larger firefights, I began to like it more. That said, the speed is great fun when you're in the middle of a firefight, but not so great when you're moving through the many tight corridors of DOOM.

    The graphics are also very very good - some of the best on PS4 - but, it might be kinda hard to take in the sights and appreciate the soft shadows and subsurface scattering when you're literally moving at 30mph through the environments. Regardless, the graphics are great and my playthrough seemed locked at 60FPS consistently.

    One major point that ID deserves kudos for is allowing FOV adjustments from the settings menu. As someone who gets motion sick from many FPS games, this is a godsend. Thank you.

    Where it can improve:

    The music tends to pick up when a firefight begins. Sometimes the music is good, but most times it's pretty bad. I listen to quite a bit of metal and I've rarely heard such discordant industrial mess. Bring back the music from DOOM3 that was so clearly taken from Lateralus/Tool. :)

    I played the game on ultra violence (hard) the first time and didn't find it difficult enough. Therefore, I'm assuming the standard difficulty is way too easy.

    Last, and this is my own personal preference; I felt that the creatures were very well designed, but they seemed a bit too "comicy" (think Joe Madureira but not quite so exaggerated). I would've preferred more realistic looking demons; regardless, they look cool.

    SUMMARY:

    DOOM 3 had an amazing and horrifying atmosphere, but this new DOOM trades that for more enjoyable gameplay. This is more fun than DOOM 3. It's a game for gamers. 9/10.    … Expand

    In point of fact, DooM takes everything from the old school and invigorates it with some things from the new; there's no reloading, sprinting (the standard speed for the DooM Marine is approx. 50mph) or ADS, less a few weapon mods. The gore is there, rip and tear through enemies as though they were paper bags filled with ketchup. The glory kill system is actually very good and rewards you with bonus health for getting up close and personal and this can be a lifeline on harder modes, the same goes for the chainsaw; a one hit kill wonder that makes enemies spew ammo. The soundtrack is insane, top quality Industrial metal that gets heavier and heavier the further into the game and really makes the demon arena battles feel spot on, it's just a shame that it stops when the floor is littered with all the bodies. The updated demon designs are perfect, based clearly on the old ones the new HD models are great, with a few demons having slightly different behaviour and attack styles and the DooM marine modelling is perfect as well. The new stuff, in the form of mods and runes put a dynamic spin on the gameplay and let you tailor your experience to suit. the lore is there but is optional, personally I enjoyed the added reading, it was interesting. Secrets are there and extend the experience by enticing you to search high and low for goodies. Overall the campaign experience is a fun, gore filled experience, ultra violence is partially easy but nightmare is another level of insanity. Boss fights were disappointing however. the arenas themselves are a blast and can be played again and again and never quite be the same, with the mobility and plat forming you'll be dip, dodging and diving between demons whilst trying not to die and make them die.
    Snapmap is great and allows for endless, often hilarious concepts to be envisioned.
    For me the multiplayer is great, there are several weapon balancing issues and yes, it isn't a full on arena style setup. There are load outs and things like that but being someone who has never really played an arena multiplayer before and who is a black ops 1/2/3 veteran, this game suits me fine and I seem to have little to no issue dominating people. The power ups, power weapons and demons allow for dynamic shifts in the state of play, it's all fun and games being the dominant team with a baron of hell to have an enemy player show and kill all 6 of you with this BFG he found laying around. (I know some people won't agree with this multiplayer review and be aware that if I'd been an experienced arena player this may be different)
    Overall, a nostalgic and cracking experience from id software, very well done, can't wait for the next one..?

I always wondered why a publisher never remade Doom properly, well finally someone hasI played doom as a kid on my playstation. I was never a pc gamer. I believe it was doom 1 & 2 on one disc with extra levels. I really loved that game, the atmosphere, the music, the gun play, the mayhem, and of course the monsters. Everything was over the top scary, nerve racking and most of all, fun! I always wondered why a publisher never remade Doom properly, well finally someone has taken on the task and to me, they did a great job! Better than I could of asked for. I recommend this game 100%. Let get into it.

    The single player campaign is "DOPE" yes I used the slang term dope from the 80's lol. It's that good... There is so much here and it's made in a way where you can play this game anyway you like. Let me explain. The single player game is offered two ways arcade, and well, campaign (lol). Arcade is just like it sounds, play for high scores with all weapons available. The scoring is done in a way where it's very exciting to watch, the screen goes crazy as you go for kill streaks, head shots and specific attacks to increase your score, its a total blast.

    There single player campaign is the meat and potatoes of this game. They did put a lot of effort in here. I want to first say that every level has a bunch of secrets to find. One being an original level of doom hidden to discover (fully updated with current character design in the old school level " COOL") on every level of the game. Besides that there are "ruin trials" for upgrades, items to find, keys to search for, weapon, armor upgrades and of course terrifying enemies constantly swarming at you. The levels are designed with precision for maximum gunplayability (is that a word). I love the map system, you can use 3D or 2D and it definitely helps. The enemies are all your old favorites updated, beefed up and on you, like stink on something smelly...lol. You get plenty of guns at your disposal most have secondary functions and can be upgraded. The weapons are so much fun to use, blasting enemies feels amazing, you must use skill, knowledge and know your enemies weaknesses or your a goner. Glory kills are new, I wont give to much away here, but cracking skulls never gets old...

    The levels are deigned like this, you get to a new area kill everything, then get some breathing time to explore, complete tasks and even do some platforming. Some people say the game is simple, but thats not true. Its a complex game, if you play it that way. It can also be a mindless shooter just ripping through enemies like in arcade mode... If this was the whole game it would satisfying, but thats only the first half of the title. There are two more modes.

    Multiplayer to me is tons of fun, they have team death match and the standard fare but they did add a few other modes in too. I like bots are included to play with, its old school multiplayer and I enjoy the heck out of it. You can upgrade your characters look as well as other attributes. Not much more to say about this mode, it's definitely worth playing and can be a blast is your into multiplayer.

    Snap map, whats this? I can make my own maps? Big deal? Well it is a big deal, in this game. I was shocked how versatile this mode is and how well it works. I played countless multiplayer matches on custom themed games (not all shooters) that the community designed. I can make my own games up too and there so easy to do! A tool like this can keep a game alive for years. You can make almost anything up you want here and its again done great. Its so user friendly. You can make single player, multiplayer, co-op whatever, you can make it in snap map. If making your own levels sounds boring or to difficult to you, you never have to, there are a ton already made up for you to use and their all rated right there in snap map. What can I say, jeez louise, easy peezy.

    Doom is an amazing package for both people who love nostalgia or just want a great shooter. Indeed old school doomers will appreciate the nods to the past while new players will marvel at the nonstop action , go doom go!    … Expand

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.

Other annoyances are melees; sometimes the dang AI moves and you are left spinning around to try and figure out where they went.

    GOOD : Overall very satisfying fast pace shooter, bad-ass enemies, variety of guns which can be upgrade with out a problem, two type of mods can be attached to most of the weapons, weapon and suite / character up-gradation is fun and really excellent shooting which shadowed all other thing i dint like

    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.

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.

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 wasn't sure how I would like the Glory Kill system but believe me, when you start using it, it'll be your preferred method of killing - seeing how the monsters are ripped apart by your own bare hands, managing to get some health along the way.

    A few frame-rate issues to date and a little tearing here and there, which you barely notice as you combat the hordes of monsters running towards you. I have also tried multiplayer but it's early days and there was severe lag. I'm hoping this is improved with time (much like PS4's DriveClub) but early impressions are good - it's a no-frills old-school multiplayer game, just this time over the internet rather than serial-to-serial on PC in 1993.

    It's been said this game will mostly attract fans of the original DOOM and DOOM II and that's probably true, but if you want a 'no thinking just shoot' wrapped up with gorgeous graphics and gameplay, buy it!    … Expand

    The time to Fight Like Hell has finally arrived, and it came with a bang. Doom is a return to basics shooter, and it shows us exactly how to reboot a franchise while maintaining all the fundamentals it was built upon in the first place.

Doom is a return to basics shooter, and it shows us exactly how to reboot a franchise while maintaining all the fundamentals it was built upon in the first place.

    I can’t express enough the excitement I’ve experienced while playing through the Single Player Campaign for Doom. Doom pulls no punches and it delivers on an excessively violent and gory level. It manages to keep that horror film vibe, and while there isn’t a lot of tension when it comes to a scare factor, the fight for your own survival is what keeps your heart pounding. Doom continues throughout to relentlessly throw hordes of demons your way, not giving you an opportunity to slow down. However, there are key points in the game where you must think on your feet, because once you stop is when you die. I’m not going to go into the story at all, as I really want everyone to experience it for themselves. It’s not the most exciting story out there, but it works as far as Doom is concerned. ‘Id Software’ made it a point to show that gameplay is what matters this time. With each new weapon that I obtained, I began to feel more powerful. I tried to combine the use of multiple weapons throughout each level and it worked very well to my advantage. The ability to seamlessly switch between one weapon to another feels as smooth as butter and was obviously a great design choice.

    This game really goes out of its way to make you feel like the ultimate bad ass, and with each new weapon and upgrade, your frag count is sure to be staggering. As you progress, there are tons of secrets to be found, and to be honest, I missed quite a lot of them. Most of these secret areas allow you to upgrade either your health, armor, or your ammo capacity; or some allow you to gather an upgrade point for your weapons. The best part about all of this is that none of it is required to finish the game. It’ll make your life hell through your time spent in the game, but… that’s the point, right?

    Let’s go into the multiplayer. There isn’t a whole lot to be said here about the multiplayer; especially if you’ve played pretty much any Call of Duty title out there. You level up, you earn different armor, and weapons and demons are locked behind that ugly “Level Wall”. Doom’s multiplayer really feels like Call of Duty with a Doom Paint-Job. That’s not to say that it’s not fun, or just plain bad; We’ve just all been there before.

    One example is that with old school arena shooters, we’re used to finding weapons lying about the map we’re fighting on. Not this time. This time we’re forced to go by the dreaded “Loadout” style, and pick two weapons to play with, and one type of grenade. It’s not a horrible way to go about this, but that takes away the title of “Arena Shooter” and replaces it with “Arcade Shooter”, or...once again... “Call of Duty Shooter”. Now, I won’t sit here and tell you that I’m not having a blast with the multiplayer, because I am. I just wish it was a little more old school.

    However, what it lacks, it makes up for in speed. Doom’s multiplayer is extremely fast paced, which is part of what defined the arena shooter back in the day. Doom, Quake, and even Unreal Tournament were all apart of this at one point. Let’s hope it stays that way for future multiplayer shooters.

    So let’s move on to the final feature of the game. SnapMap. This mode allows you to design your own maps, more specifically, what type of game you create with that map. SnapMap allows you to make everything from DeathMatch to Extraction (Missions) to Survival. It’s a very intuitive tool that let’s you very easily create things you couldn’t before. I like to call it “Map Editor for Dummies”. There are tutorials that teach you everything you need to know to create the perfect masterpiece.

    I have just one problem with this extensive feature. Everything you create, you have to play in SnapMap mode. I want to be able to make a map, and release it to the community to play in Multiplayer! I don’t quite understand the logic behind id Software’s choice here, but I have a strong feeling that eventually SnapMap will die out. My suggestion would be that they allow, at the very least, the ability to release maps according to the modes available in Multiplayer. If that doesn’t happen, I don’t see SnapMap last very long. It’s an amazing feature that almost seems pointless.

    So here we are with a new Doom, and a new era of horror shooters. This total reboot shows exactly what made id Software the top dogs of their time, and that they’re still able to pull off something amazing. With the single player being the shining star, the multiplayer being a decent addition, and SnapMap which may or may not break itself, we have one very cool, and complete game. I recommend Doom to anyone a fan of shooters or not.

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

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

    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.

A beautiful game with fully-wrought characters, a clear narrative arc, and a cutscene-heavy story.

    DOOM, on the other hand, is loud and bare bones. It is the antithesis of story-driven, a game that hearkens back to early '90s shoot-em-ups and thrusts you immediately into 10 hours of nonstop action. The setup is simple (and simply ridiculous): a Martian research facility is attempting to draw energy from Hell to solve an energy crisis on Earth, when one of the scientists opens a portal to Hell, flooding Mars with a variety of demons.

    As someone whose favorite FPS series is Battlefield, I was skeptical going into DOOM. I had never played a DOOM game before and feared it would be too hectic, mindless, and absurd. What I got instead was beautiful chaos.

    DOOM is, certainly, hectic at times, but the gameplay is fantastic. The gun play is great, the enemies are varied and interesting (how cool are the Revenant?), and the "glory kill" component is entertaining and brutal. Dispatching enemies in DOOM is incredibly satisfying. Unlike any other current gen FPS, there is a sense of completion with DOOM when you get past a tough area. Despite the seeming chaos of each encounter, this game requires strategy. Running around levels, double jumping away from trouble, glory killing lower-level enemies when you're low on health. Even later in the game when there are upwards of 50 high-level enemies at one time, DOOM remains grounded. Simply put, this is the best FPS campaign I've played in years. Maybe since Call of Duty 4. It's that good.

    DOOM is a reminder that simplicity works. The basic premise of DOOM and its mechanics are simple, but they are fine-tuned to perfection. The resulting package is addicting, polished, and downright fun. I would recommend this to anyone who likes FPSs.    … Expand

    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

    This is DOOM. Straight up. There's no nonsense here. It's intense, aggressive, and is an adrenaline fueled joyride from start to finish that never lets you go for an instant.

    DOOM is the game DOOM 3 wishes it was. Going back to what made the original great, it focuses on being fast and fluid, possessing rewarding and cathartic combat that's fast and brutal and bloody. Killing demons is an absolute joy to behold, and tearing through the hordes makes you feel like an absolute badass.

    The story is who the f*** cares? You kill demons, that's it. Kill ALL the demons. Well, okay, there IS story, and actually not a bad one, though your involvement in it is not much more than a torrent of destruction and carnage that can't be stopped by anything. The DOOM Marine is, ironically, passive in the narrative as a whole, being more of a side character, despite being the bane of all of Hell. The story fluff is contained in the codex, which has detailed descriptions on lore and characters and locations and demons and all that, which you can read any time you want if you care about that kind of thing, something the DOOM Marine couldn't give a flying demon's lower jaw about. He's there for one thing; to kill demons. A lot of demons. ALL the demons, preferably.

    The gameplay, as stated before, is fast and aggressive. No cover based shooting here, folks. Combat is reliant on having quick feet, quick reflexes, and quick trigger fingers, requiring nerves of steel as you tear your way through the legions of Hell's minions. The game's main addition to combat is the "glory kill" system, which is not an innuendo, trust me. Weakened demons can be finished off with a pre-animated takedown move, which thankfully is quick and stylish, never breaking up the fast paced flow of combat with a huge overdone cutscene like other games tend to do. You'll take off a demons arm and smack them in the face with it and then jump to the next demon to kick his legs out from under him and punch his face into the floor within the course of a few seconds, and it all blends in perfectly. Performing these moves will yield health, providing incentive to take demons down in this method, allowing you to keep up the fight and keep the pressure on as you rip and tear your way around the combat arenas.

    The game also harks back to the original games by featuring open ended maps that focus on key hunting, also having many collectibles to track down and collect, which is what you usually do with collectibles. The promise of weapon and armor upgrades as well as additional health, armor and ammo capacity properly incentivises exploration through the sprawling maps, looking for secrets that can be anything from the listed above, to even original DOOM levels, complete with original 8-bit graphics that are fully playable.

    The weapons are just as satisfying as the combat. All of them, save the starting pistol, are brutally effective at eliminating Hell's legions, and all are viable options... except the starting pistol. Unlocking secondary firing modes gives new combat options, ranging from a grenade launcher for your shotgun to micro-missiles for your assault rifle, to a stun bomb for your plasma rifle to a lock-on function for your rocket launcher. All of these can be upgraded individually through upgrade points you earn through the game for finding secrets and killing demons in order to increase their effectiveness, and doing so allows you to outright destroy even the most powerful demons. The weapons are practically in this for the same reasons you are; to kill demons.

    The DOOM Marine himself is also worth mentioning. Despite not having a single line of dialogue, he is one of the most charismatic characters I have ever seen in any game. Simply through first-person gestures, you see what kind of person the DOOM Marine is, his personality conveyed entirely through his interactions with the world and with other entities in it, and it speaks volumes. The DOOM Marine has more character and personality through action alone than so many other video game characters that have hundreds of lines of dialogue to work with and just end up being bland and generic. The DOOM Marine is two things: he's angry, and he HATES demons. Not the most complex character, fair enough, but the sheer personality infused into the character just through his actions make him so likable. The first bits of dialogue in the game, being an expository monologue by the main corporate guy, is interrupted by the DOOM Marine grabbing the monitor and tossing it aside, because he couldn't care less about what's going on around him. He's there for one thing, the thing that his whole existence revolves around, and the same reason you're here as well. To kill demons. ALL demons.

    I could go on for hours about this game, but I'll leave it at this: this is DOOM. It pays homage to the original games without licking its boots, and stands proudly as a worthy successor to its legendary heritage.    … 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.

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