    This is exactly what Doom is. The Campaign and Multiplayer modes are perfect. If you have fallen in love with previous incarnations of this franchise, you will not be disappointed with this newest addition.

    CONs: Gameplay, music

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

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

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

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

    The story is there if you want it , but it isn't integral to the enjoyment of the game, however it offers enough interest through logs, and dialogue to push you through the game with some purpose. Also the soundtrack is phenomenal, and really gets you pumped to crush a room full of demons.

    The visuals are gorgeous, and the execution animations, are some of the most gruesome I have ever seen. There weren't many performance issues that I noticed throughout my playthrough and the frame rate remained smooth.

    Overall Doom is a satisfying, and refreshing shooter filled with intense, simple but fun combat, gorgeous levels, and a killer soundtrack making this well worth a trip to Hell    … Expand

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

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

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

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

    Doom is a modern version of an iconic, classic shooter. It's fast paced, has satisfying combat, and above all, it's fun. This is one of the better campaigns in a fps I've played in awhile. While more could have been done with the multiplayer, it's still fun and has a very classic arena shooter feel to it.

    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.

    Pros: Fast, challenging, gorgeous, and laser-focused on what works. Tough combat is satisfying to master. Story is minimal in favor of "Kill demons and shut up", which is absolutely what this style of game needs. Collectables and secrets are abundant if you're into that. Smartly, though, game-altering pick-ups like upgrades to your suit and weapons are easy to find, so it doesn't punish gameplay if you don't feel like collecting. Framerate is buttery-smooth throughout, which is particularly impressive for such beautifully done levels that are also very, very fast. SnapMap is smart and totally unnecessary, but brilliant. Multiplayer is also unnecessary, but fun, although not the main attraction here. The campaign is the star.

    Cons: A little too much backtracking for my tastes. Levels are perhaps a little too big.

    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.

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

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

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

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

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

    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

    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.

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

    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

This game isn't more advanced than COD, definitely not more realistic than BF, just does a simple smash-mouth shooter well. And for that effort, that lack of anything special it doesn't deserve more than a 7. The 10 ratings are out of their heads. The controls were a little shaky for me too but I have not delved into the Settings. I also don't really care about multiplayer but the fact that a lot of people are complaining about it not having good multiplayer is a problem. If FPSs do anything well they should have decent multiplayer so I have to ding it for that as well.… Expand

Multiplayer felt like a let down compared to the single player, In multiplayer it starts to feel similar to generic shooters like CoD, you have the standard upgrade and leveling system that gears itself towards experienced players so newcomers may find it difficult. The game does have a level builder that adds tons more of longevity to the game, people have made competitive maps, horde/survival maps and everything between. So if you enjoy high paced single player FPS's with a simplistic story give Doom a try, It's not a long game but enjoyable… Expand

    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

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

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

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

    Hell is literally taking over a secret Mars facility and the only one who can save humanity is this mysteriously overpowered, silent sentinel, who clearly needs no help and somehow manages to make an already gory scene even gorier. So what is our hero to do? Fight like hell! Doom is a throwback to when games didn't need to be bogged down with complex story-lines, cultural references, hugeHell is literally taking over a secret Mars facility and the only one who can save humanity is this mysteriously overpowered, silent sentinel, who clearly needs no help and somehow manages to make an already gory scene even gorier. So what is our hero to do? Fight like hell! Doom is a throwback to when games didn't need to be bogged down with complex story-lines, cultural references, huge set pieces, or crazy amounts of multiplayer content to be considered great. What you find instead is a wonderfully gory bad-ass death dealing experience.

    The goriest and most satisfying moments in Doom are found in its almost 13-hour campaign. While the actual story is rather bland, the combat is what compels you to keep plugging away at the game. Gone are the days where you’re forced to use cover and military tactics to complete your missions, Doom lets you actually live out an action movie. You’re motivated to move from enemy to enemy, dealing out enormous amounts of damage at every enemy in your path, arena style. Your Doom Guy doesn’t know when to stop. Your character moves at a ridiculously fast pace to creating a hectic sense of combat. You’re given tons of opportunities to use the environment within combat as well. Jumping from platform to platform is so seamless that it becomes second nature to bounce around for better combat vantage points.

    "You’re motivated to move from enemy to enemy, dealing out enormous amounts of damage at every enemy in your path, arena style."

    Onto the guns! Aside from the main weapon choices in Doom, you also have a hand full of special weapons that offer a unique tool. You can finish off a horde of enemies with a single shot from the classic BFG or turn a single demon into a pile of gory giblets with the chainsaw. The chainsaw is easily the highlight of your special weapon choices. Not only do you witness one the bloodiest death scenes in a game, you also have a tool to save you from a situation where ammo is just not available. You get an instant, satisfying kill with your chainsaw and, out of the bloody carcass of whichever poor demon is on the receiving end of your beautiful weapon, you get a rain of ammo as a reward. Do you kill off the demon tossing rockets everywhere or do you save your fuel (which is located throughout a level for the chainsaw) for when your ammo supply begins to dry out? Doom presents so many intense battles that your choices are all split second decisions that never feel too overwhelming.

    I found myself never utilizing the full arsenal at my disposal. The plasma gun felt a little under-powered and my poor pistol never saw the light of day unless I was completely out of ammo. After acquiring most of the weapons in the game, I came to realize that some weapons shared the same ammo pool. It was an interesting concept, but I felt forced to hold off using some inferior weapons so that I didn’t lose the ammo needed for the more interesting options. Everyone will have their own favorites, of course, but it felt a little too restrictive for me. The variety given each weapon is impressive with the upgrade system.

    "Every new area you visit is more impressive than the last."

    Doom is split into three parts and the multiplayer is the black sheep in the bunch. There is a bit of a disjointed feel to the combat in the multiplayer side of Doom. My attacks didn’t feel as effective against live opponents, and I would have loved for some of that bad-ass feeling from the single player campaign to find its way into multiplayer. At times, you can pick up the demon power-up which was the highlight of my experience. Thrashing around and causing mayhem as a baron of hell never gets tiring. With that being said, it felt like far too much of an advantage. I played way too many matches where one team had the demon rune consistently throughout a match, and no amount of skill could overcome.

    SnapMap is by far one of the simplest tools to create imaginative gameplay that I have seen in a shooter. Snapping enemies, power-ups, environments, and all manner of goodness is a button click away. You never feel overwhelmed with your choices after working through the well-made tutorial. The SnapMap also allows you to share your custom games or explore amazing created content from players around the world. One of the best examples was a match I played where you faced endless waves of enemies in a “horde mode” where communication and cooperation with other players is key. After having that much fun with such a simple SnapMap creation, I look forward to what other types of games the player base can create.

    Like your mom. HEH, RIGHT?

    Ok. Anyway.

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

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

    Man, THAT hurt to type.

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

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

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

    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.

    Going from Uncharted 4 to DOOM was an odd experience. On one hand, you have a game like Uncharted 4, something incredibly cinematic and layered and ground-breaking. A beautiful game with fully-wrought characters, a clear narrative arc, and a cutscene-heavy story.

On one hand, you have a game like Uncharted 4, something incredibly cinematic and layered and ground-breaking. 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

I've played all the DOOM games, and consider myself pretty hip on the franchise, but what is this drivel? This game is basically devoid of a story, the mobs are brainless and repetitive, and the pacing is mind numbing. Travel to this arena, slay **** move over here, slay some more **** oh and while you are at it, listening to this **** metal soundtrack we cooked up. The "glory kill" mechanic was sweet for around 5 minutes. I don't need perfection, but for sixty, hard earned dollars, I expected a little bit better than nonsense.

Unless, you really don't care about any of the listed complaints, then knock your socks off, but if you are used to AAA shooters, a decent campaign and MP mode, or maybe want a breathe of a story, then I assure you that DOOM is not for you.

    This feels like a very “bare-bones” kind of game.

I feel like they purposely made the game very bare-bones and used the excuse that it’s supposed to play like a game released over twenty years ago.

I read through many articles about how the developers were attempting to try to make the game purposely feel like the first Doom game, but I really think it’s willful blindness. Why? I feel like they purposely made the game very bare-bones and used the excuse that it’s supposed to play like a game released over twenty years ago. I feel that the developers could’ve put more effort into it and taken more risks into making a better product.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

    After finishing the game, I finally get why this is named DOOM and not Doom 4.

    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

    This is easily the best first person shooter released this gen and I would go as far as to say better than anything release last gen too. A great mix of old school twitch shooting as well as some modern elements that ID has made work surprisingly well. The game is fast and furious and will leave your adrenaline pumping hard.

    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!

All in all, the new Doom is a good game, but with some faults.

    See, not everything old school should be something we long for. Some of the design choices for the campaign are primitive at best. Mainly, the need to kill every single enemy in a room in order to go to the next. And despite all the adrenaline you get from killing demons, eventually you ask yourself: is there anything else to this game? The answer is no. Killing demons is fun, but the game eventually throws so many of them at you that you will begin to feel fatigue.

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

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

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

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

    Pros: The story doesn't get in the way of the game. The characters are okay and the dialogue is decent. The 'glory kills' are quick and take place in real time -- enemies keep moving and firing at you You can't really just sit back and snipe at enemies like in a lot of modern shooters, mostly because you need to pick up health from dead enemies. The game runs extremely smoothly.

The upgrades to the suit are boring. The secrets are easy to find, and they don't really give you anything special. The gameplay mostly involves running away from enemies and strafing -- no enemies can catch up to you. The graphics are mediocre at best. There are no physics. The environments feel the same.

    I wish I really liked this game like other seem to, but I don't. The gameplay design - that forces players to move -- has a lot of potential to resurrect the dead genre of FPS, but this game doesn't quite pull it off. I still haven't played FPS i like since Half life 2 and bioshock.    … Expand

It's stunning visuals really bring out the best of the ps4 (so much so that my ps4 sounded like it did when I was playing The Witcher 3, an airplane engine) and the smooth controls and faster gameplay make it a refreshing trip back to the roots of the fps genre. Where Doom doesn't shine as much is later in the game when you start to feel like you are doing the same thing over and over. I remedied this by taking a break from the campaign and trying multiplayer for a bit. Doom's multiplayer isn't the greatest around and seems to even be lacking in the content department but it is definitely a good change of pace from the campaign, and I would say that if I was any good at pvp in the first place I probably would have liked it a lot more. I would definitely recommend Doom to anyone that likes the fps genre even at it's price point of $59.99.

Could it have been better and have the potential to be the perfect Doom game? Perhaps...

    The multiplayer was great, but the loadouts limited itself from becoming an incredible arena multiplayer game, (since everyone is now sick of CoD). I love the fact that you can use the demons in multiplayer. It makes the multiplayer a lot more intense and unique, but just like everyone else who complained about the beta, the demons are overpowered. Here is an example: The Revenant is actually fair to fight if your out in an open area, but if your running through a hallway and it pops out of nowhere and takes one shot at you.. you're dead. How is that even remotely fair? But as I said before, for the long run, multiplayer great. It still feels like a classic arena shooter with new perks added. It's brutal, fast, and fun!

    The campaign was beyond amazing! The game play honestly exceeded my expectations, it's so much fun! Now Doom (for the most part) is all about metal music and fast pace action with blood and gore flying in the air. The game does an amazing job delivering that, but it's also about being terrifying, and the game doesn't deliver that. The original game was fast pace and intense, but was also terrifying and disturbing. The new Doom isn't scary at all, but I'd rather have all out intense action over survival horror (we're looking at you Doom 3). That's honestly my only complaint with the campaign, I'm extremely satisfied with it. It feels like the original Doom, and yet feels like a FPS that no one has ever played before.

    Snap map is a great perk added to the game, but it wasn't as good as Id software said it was. It's very easy to use and you can customize the logic of the game, which I absolutely love about it! Only real complaint is that all the map structures are only UAC based, not hell and mars based. Wish you would've been able to create geographical features for the mars surface and would have hell themed structures. (It's kind of unfair that I'm criticizing this, since I've only created one map and there are like only two games that actually have this feature. But I felt like I had to throw in my two cents into this.)

    Here's the summery of the review

    Pros +
    Fast-pace and brutal game play
    Glory kills are the cherry on top of the fantastic game play
    Enemies look awesome and fight brutally
    Boss fights are surprisingly great
    No cut scene bull crap, and yet tells a really neat story
    Mission secrets
    Beautiful graphics
    UAC and Hell textures look classic and goregeous
    Multiplayer game play is an arena shooter throw back
    Multiplayer modes are fun and unique
    Multiplayer Demons are fun to play as
    Awesome slection of weapons for campaign and multiplayer
    Snapmap is very easy to use
    Change logics in Snapmap
    Huge catalog of options in Snapmap

    Cons -
    Multiplayer loadouts
    Demons are overpowered in multiplayer
    Not as scary as previous Doom games
    Soundtrack sounds more electronic than metal
    No geometric editing in Snapmap
    No hell themed structures in Snapmap

    I know it sounds like I'm hating on a lot of things in this game, but I'm not at all, I'm just picking out every single flaw I found in the game to show you guys what you possibly wouldn't like about the game. The game is absolutely amazing! It's the game I've always wanted, the Doom I've always wanted! If you're a Doom fan, this is a must-buy. If you want to try out a new, and very different kind of game, highly recommend this. If you're sick of all the CoD games, please get this!    … 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.

There is not much, what you can say about it, since it is go and kill demons and find secrets darning jumping scenes. On the other hand multiplayer left mixed feelings.

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
