    Bloody, quick, smooth, funny, hard and really addictive game with great graphics and everything we wanted since the first doom game, with added upgrades, collectibles and puzzles. For me the best single player FPS game since UT 2004 with great multi player. There is not any major mistake and 9/10 is in my FPS scale The BF(FPS)G I have ever played.

    10/10 is really only for games with everything in place, and in FPS, there is just not strong/smart story which is in this case the only thing, blocking this game from TOP list.

    Love it. Fast paced and even frantic violent action is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. Blowing away daemons or slicing them in half with a chainsaw is very entertaining and executed well. It also looks beautiful.

It is an amazing game, for both old-school gamers and newcomers alike!

    Honestly, the only minor complaints I have, have nothing to do with the core game (which is the single-player campaign):
    1. The classic maps, once unlocked can only be played separately - so you don't keep your progression from one map to the next. And also you cannot save during a map, so get ready to be raped by Pinky demons in tight corridors a lot.
    2. Multiplayer tries to borrow some elements from 'modern' multiplayer games, such as weapon load-out with 2 pre-selected weapons. And you cannot pick new weapons during the match, unlike the old-school multiplayer matches
    3. Snap-map does not seem to have the support they initially intended, like proper matchmaking and map-ranking, etc... which is bad because it is an awesome tool!

    An almost perfect game, which EVERYONE should experience.    … Expand

After the shift in tone that was had with Doom 3, DOOM recaptures the fast-action run and shootem' gameplay that made the first two Doom games so great.

    There is really quite a lot to love about DOOM. It does several things very well. The level design, structurally and visually, succeeds in maintaining interest and provides plenty of exploration opportunities, where you can find collectibles (especially the charming Doom guy dolls). This is a nice break from the break neck action that ensues in bursts, and which can admittedly can begin to wear you out if you play too much of this game in one sitting.

    The crazy action is accompanied by an operatic, devilish music score that nails the tone of the game, cueing at the right moments an orchestral blast that really gives the game a sense of polish and succeeds in making the player feel immersed.

    The story isn't overwhelming nor is it underwhelming. The game reaches a nice middle ground where it provides a feasible plot outline that doesn't obstruct from gameplay, and since the gameplay is intriguing enough, it is really a plus that the game isn't too story heavy. That being said, the story does supply some very epic fight sequences, and succeeds in making the player feel like an angry Doom guy who really just wants to blast every hellish fiend he encounters to a lower level of hell.

    The actual gameplay itself is varied due to the wide array of weapons and special equipment that the player throughout the game can eventually collect and use along his journey. The game as such is very much so a learn as you go kind of game, forcing the player to adapt to new situations and test which weapons work best against the wide gamut of enemy types.

    I was nervous about this game from its gameplay trailers where there appeared to be an incessant amount of fight animations. Luckily, as you play along, you notice less and less when these occur, and they actually serve a function in the gameplay itself (they drop health and ammo). Furthermore, they aren't necessary.

    The reason this game isn't scoring a 10/10 for me is its lack of local multiplayer. DOOM's multiplayer is really quite a joke, and it's a lucky fact that the developers didn't create a campaign that depended on it. It would have been nice to be able to play local multiplayer, like the old Doom games. Nevertheless, it's a relief to see a game that put all of its eggs into the right basket, unlike so many other games nowadays that are trying to do everything and succeed at doing nothing. DOOM's campaign is so genuinely fun that its lack of local player becomes somewhat insignificant.    … Expand

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

    Doom is unapologetic to what it dishes out to its players: a delirious sprinting and shooting all hell thrown at your face with no words, only loud ass sounds from your weapons and frenzy in your heart. It's singleplayer is truly the best in terms delivering its gameplay front and center and not giving a dam about story or lore in the form of long winded dialogue dumps and expositoryDoom is unapologetic to what it dishes out to its players: a delirious sprinting and shooting all hell thrown at your face with no words, only loud ass sounds from your weapons and frenzy in your heart. It's singleplayer is truly the best in terms delivering its gameplay front and center and not giving a dam about story or lore in the form of long winded dialogue dumps and expository jumble. It has exploration, collectibles and original DOOM maps thrown in to relive the golden days of that old tradition of FPS games. The music is simply badass, with shredding and high frequency electronic mixed making the experience of killing demons so dam amazing. The designs of the demons and such is pretty dam cool, and while the bosses are not the best, the constant killing and slaughter trivializes this. Glory killing is outstanding and so metal to do (though it can get old for some and completely understand this) that I'm glad it's an option. If DOOM had only its singleplayer, then it would be an easy 10/10 for me.

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

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

This game delivers what it has delivered for years, making you, the gamer, feel like an unstoppable badass.

    Updated with modern graphics that are beautiful, a perk and upgrade system that balances out well, a challenge system that is optional to accelerate the pace of those upgrades, and the glorious easter eggs that slap you in the face with some great nostalgic levels from the classic games, this truly embodies a positive modern touch that does not harm the nostalgic feel of the game.

    Although, it has to be mentioned that the multiplayer is subpar, and while it does feel a little bit like Quake Arena, the balancing of the demons kinda throws everything off, and it gets tiring fast. Also, this game is nothing like Doom 3, it is more like a modernized Doom 2, so do not expect to be walking around with your flashlight and have imps jump from around corners and dark hallways. Oh, and you never have to reload.

    Positives:

    - Fast paced action
    - Great upgrade system
    - Beautiful graphics
    - Lots of guns (classics included)
    - Nightmare mode makes things interesting and tough
    - No other game will make you feel more like a badass
    - Classic level easter eggs and secrets are fun to find
    - Mick Gordon absolutely nailed this soundtrack
    - An amazing fps to help escape from the plethora of cut & paste fps games out these days
    - Snap map allows for users to share their creativity

    Negatives:

    - Story is linear and just background noise
    - Multiplayer won't entice you to return
    - Snap map creativity is limited by modding restrictions
    - No single player DLC :(

    Overall, this game is awesome. No other word I can use to truly describe it, it really is a standout for FPS games. I may have a slight bias towards Doom as it was one of the first games I ever played on my PC, but if you pick this one up, especially for the current price, you will not regret it. This is a must buy for fans of the series. It really does Rip & Tear itself away from garbage FPS games that are being released around it. This is one of the two games of 2016 that I thoroughly enjoyed and put countless hours into, and it easily receives a 90% (9/10) from me. BFG = Best F***ing Game. The other game is Uncharted 4 btw.    … Expand

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

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

The boss fights where amazing and so was the platforming which paces the game very well until the third act where you basically just keep shooting demons.

    Doom is such a blast to play. Blasting demons and running around the map picking up ammo and health and never stop moving never gets old. Especially when the enemy variety is amazing, the weapons and tools are a lot of fun and its all spiced up by platforming sections, bosses, and a few brief story moments. The Story may be passable and the multiplayer is okay but overall this is a special game that revived classic shooters and putting game-play over story.    … Expand

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

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

    Но вот вышел DooM 2016 и я, пройдя его, понял: пусть Кармак занимается виртуальной реальностью, а кому делать игры в id Software есть и без него!
    Не скрою, что любимой игрой серии для меня был Doom 3. Атмосфера густая, гнетущая, при том это одна из немногих игр которая смогла меня, в своё время, напугать! Так, что от нового DooM много не ожидал. Но приятно ошибся!
    Игра просто ураган. Сюжета как такового в принципе нет, жаль конечно, но игра без него много не потеряла!
    Вся атмосфера игры заключалась именно в сногсшибательном геймплее, что крайне редко встречается. Просто нет времени обращать внимание на сюжет, персонажей, окружение, есть цель и ты идёшь к ней по трупам врагов разрывая их на части, вырывая глаза, наматывая кишки на автомат и т. д.
    Да, это чудо не может продолжаться долго, по этому игра не длинная. При том разработчики постоянно подкидывают новые стволы, которые можно модернизировать, и как не странно почти все они нужны и используются до конца игры. В игре очень мало патронов и бегать с одним стволом пол игры не получится. Ты 5 секунд мочишь из автомата! Всё! Пусто! Переходишь на дробаш, 3 секунды и патронташ на нуле, берёшь ракетомёт стреляешь по слабым зомбям, а по тому, что больше не из чего и тут напарываешься на автоматную обойму и.......заново! При том при всём, в игре очень клёвые добивания раненых врагов (не такие корявые как, скажем, в Gears of War), анимаций невероятное колличество. Ну штук по пять на каждого монстра!
    Темп в игре просто запредельный!
    После зачистки локации можно полазить по уровню (все уровни в игре многоэтажные, так сказать), поискать секретики.
    Теперь о врагах. Их какое то запредельное количество! Я насчитал всех монстров из 1, 2 и 3 части! Все они великолепно анимированны, выглядят просто снос башки!
    Конечно есть и боссы. Но вот здесь как то двояко. Мне не очень понравился бой с кибердемоном, тебя зажимают в какую то узкую линию, где невозможно передвигаться и маневрировать. Вправо, влево, стреляй. Так себе.
    Да, графон. Ну, id Tech 6 во всей красе!
    Я не знаю, что нужно сделать разработчикам в Doom Eternal, что бы игра была хотя бы не хуже оригинала 2016 года.
    Тех же щей погуще влей, на мой взгляд здесь будет уже маловато. Так как игра однообразна, как не крути и безсюжетна, кто бы, что не говорил. Бегать по схожим дикорациям, занимаясь тем же, чем в первой части будет уже скучновато!    … Expand

It's intense-but-shallow fun, done very well. I feel like that was very specifically their aim, and they definitely hit the mark and made a great game by sticking to the point.    … Expand

    Doom(2016) is a thrilling and intense joyride. The game is a beautiful gore fest and well stylized. Each weapon feel powerful and unique in their own ways.

    When you have the story and beauty of games such as Uncharted 4 and Dark Souls 3 (both amazing games btw), it's hard to release a dated concept. The gaming scene has massively changed even since when Doom 3 was released.

    The systems they implemented in this game played out fairly well, you are encouraged to constantly keep moving forward with the glory kill system. It punishes conventional fps tactics of 'popping from behind cover, shoot, return to cover', you'll run out of ammo/health in no time doing this.

    One of the biggest pros for ID is the engine. Few devs release such a smooth, great looking game for PC upon release these days. Also even fewer have an engine that can handle above 60fps.

    Really the game is only engaging on Ultra-Violent or above, I think most people would get bored with the game if it didn't present a challenge. It's also designed for a specific market, and I don't think they'll get the multiplayer audience they were intending. Still a great single player though.    … Expand

The definition of early 3d FPS, hell with Wolf3D they practically invented it. Doom3 was a strange game, it has an even better rating on metacritic for the PC original release (87, while this has 85), but the console releases have a 67 rating... Doom3 is by some considered the definition of Horror FPS, with masterful atmosphere, and incredible tone and jumps, and by others, a spin-off or a slow paced wannabe.

    Found Doom 3 pretty fascinating, slow to get into, but definitely a unnerving experience with some incredible horror atmosphere and effects. As if Doom grew up with the fans of the Original. From a young naive but playful kid, to a dark, layered, mature adult. Doom 3 was kind of a perfect demonstration of how a kids game could become a game for adults.

    Which is why Doom 4 is such a strange beast. It's almost cartoonish in how light and palatable it tries to be. There are no scares, no horror, even the blood is minimal and dried up. Even the battles are, whilst challenging, about as scary as children's Halloween costumes. Doom 4 is in a way a return from the mature dark horror defining game of 2004, back to the young, full of energy, and immaturity of the 90s. You have zero punishment for doing badly. Checkpoints, the option of infinite ammo with certain upgrades, a refill to full armour and health at checkpoints in boss battles, and every monster looks like a Pixar designed character. That's not to say the game isn't tough, some of the arenas are relentless, and the boss battles are punishing, even on lower difficulties, and borderline impossible on max difficulty. But There's nothing scary about any of it, just difficult.

    That being said, it's a great freaking game. It's fun, there's a million combinations of weapons and mods to use, and every circumstance suits a certain type of weapon, it recaptures the excitement that FPS had in the late 90s. If anything it's more a Quake game than a Doom game, but it feels more like the Original Doom than Doom 3 did, which is a strange situation, because it almost feels like it invalidates the strides and maturity that Doom 3 brought us. Unlike Doom 3, no one's going to recall scary moments, look into the shadows expecting something to pounce out at them in real life, or lose any sleep. Doom 3 had a strong psychological element to it that resonated with the player. Doom 4 is just a fun game that you play and then stop playing. That's not to say that it's bad, but in a way to me it felt empty compared to the experience that Doom 3 left me with.

    I gave Doom an impressive 8/10, because it's a badass game, that rekindles some of the childhood excitement I had with early FPS games, that has been lost to points systems and pseudo realism, also I'm sure it's a blast on multiplayer, and I will more than likely replay it in Arcade mode. But Doom 3 was an experience that played tricks on my mind at night, and disturbed my girlfriend as she watch me play it, and there's a big gap between a fun game that you enjoy playing, and a game that feels more than just a game, an experience that changes you. So whilst I shall look forward to Doom 5, and shall replay Doom 4 and check it out on multiplayer, I will dream of a Doom 3 remaster or spiritual sequel in the future.    … Expand

Roughly 4-5 hours of campaign n the rest I have been digging into multi and snap mode. as for the campaign mode the game is generally a re-imagined version of old dooms. There are not any horror aspects into it, no dark rooms, no flash lights whatsoever and generally there is no trace of doom 3 visible in solo experience. This can be a good thing or a bad thing based on your own preferences. The single player mode is basically within the idea of kill and proceed. It starts very slow in early levels and it goes beyond your expectations in terms of its speed and pace in future levels. the action is awesome and you can feel the survival in it. The glory kills are nice addition to the game as well and they are totally optional. The additional violence in comparison to doom 3 is a welcome feature which adds more excitement and breath taking moments . Each level has a good area design in terms of depth and size and it is designed in a way that you can hover around and battle with demons based on your strategies. Fortunately loading are short enough and check points and reasonable as well. There are explorations involved in the levels as well if you interested to go after secrets and collectibles. Another nice addition is guns and the variety of upgrades available for them as well as you suit. The upgrade tokens can be earned through given challenged in each level which is a very nice addition to the game-play and you can feel how powerful you slowly become through out the campaign mode. as for always demon designs and boss fights are amazing as they have always been. In terms of visual, PS4 version has a smooth 60fps performance, visuals are good but they are not anything beyond "good" . based on the level of difficulty the single player can take anywhere from 8 to 13 hours.
    The second part is multiplayer. Perhaps its the biggest let down because it has no addition and innovation in comparison to other games. HAving demon mode its a nice addition to overall pace of the game but its nothing spectacular. modes are pretty standards, map are OK and enough, tones of untouchables as well. at this stage provided that it might become boring after a while i am not sure going for season pass is a good idea !
    Next stop is snapmode which i believe many have been waiting for. sadly it comes wit so much disappointment and lack of variety in it. one thing is that you can make hell levels which is a huge disappointment. but there is actually enough depth within its limits in order to build things and download them from the share hub (does not requires ps plus unless u wanna connect and coop or share your maps) and extend your solo experience. But obviously we have 2 wait for more than 1-2 week to see true potential of the snap mode based on user created maps.
    Overall i can say DOOM package worth your money if you are into a complete action packed game. But if you have been waiting a true sequel to doom 3 then i suggest perhaps wait a bit for game to become cheap enough !    … Expand

    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

    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.

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

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

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

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

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.

    I consider Doom as sacred and I consider a sacrilege to ruin it in the name of modern times. Let's start from this clear thing, ok? After the criticism to multiplayer mode I was worried. I don't even want to talk about it. Fortunately, however, single-player mode saved the game.

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

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

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

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

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