    This game is fantastic on every level. Score highly on every front. what stands out is gameplay, sound & music, graphics, presentation.
    The secrets are neat, like original doom secrets. The multiplayer is expansive, and snapmap is one of the best level editors for console.

    The game is damn fun. And immersive. Doom (2016) makes doom 3 look really quite poor.

    Doom is excellent. Im not gonna lie here, my initial expectations were low, I expected a slow pace modern wannabe shooter consistent with the quality of games ID put up recently. I was blown away, I am a massive fan of the series and saw that this doom was everything I wanted. It is fast-paced, gore filled fun that only doom can deliver.

My original guess was that it was going to pander to console players by making it slower ( I thought this after I saw the scroll wheel that slowed down game play.) It has been a long while since I have seen a shooter with intelligent map design, design which rewards players for playing the game at a faster pace, in fact I rarely found myself stopping in between combat, if at all. There is secrets galore in this game to. Not only that but the game itself is absolutely beautiful. From the large bosses to the small imps for pistol fodder every part of the game does not lack in design, This game reinvigorated my faith in ID. The online has obviously improved since the beta (Its great, i didn't get the chance to play the beta but I heard complaints) With a larger selections of weapons. In fact I see so many modding possibilities for the multiplayer on PC. After playing leagues and leagues of modern shooters this is the most refreshing multiplayer I have played in a while and will suck in hours and hours of my time I haven't really played around with snap map yet, but Ill be looking forward to it!. Anyway this reinvigorated the franchise and will forever be known as a classic, Amazing job id, i look forward for more… Expand

    I really loved the campaign so far, its fast furious makes me feel in control and makes me think about exploration much like the original doom did when I played it as a kid, Now snapmaps is awesome to play about and make your own stuff much easier than previous moddings

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

    The king of FPS is definitely back. Easily the best FPS I have played for years. Fast, challenging, brutal, awesome music, great level design, and a lengthy campaign. I cannot express how much I recommend DOOM, I feel like I'm back in the 90's again which is **** awesome!

    A true callback to all the fantastic elements that 90's era FPS games offered. The single player campaign is near flawless and retains the sense of speed and discovery of the originals. The multiplayer is deep and exciting, giving the same rush of great arena shooters of old. Excellent and exceeding in every facet, and an experience worth the price of admission.

    Incredible. It's fast, it's fun. It's the first FPS in years that I've sunken more than 3 hours into single player and I'm loving every second. The secrets, the guns, the runes. It has everything going to keep it fresh. I've found myself scouring every nook and cranny to find everything that is hidden...and STILL missing some!

    The multiplayer is great, and has a great draw to it. I love the feel of it. I've been missing an "arena style" shooter and this quasi-arena approach is fresh and approachable in today's day and age.

    Snap Map LOOKS awesome, but I honestly haven't been able to hop in to that yet. I'm curious as to what people will come up with.

    The only thing I'm hesitant about (that isn't in the purchase of the stand alone game, so I won't dock points) is the DLC. $40 for 3 MP expansions seems pretty steep. I'm holding on to the code that I purchased just in case I find it to not be worth it.

    But for what it's worth, I created this account to post my first review because of how much I love this game and how much I'd dislike for haters to just tank the score with their 0's.    … Expand

The game is solid, the campaign is old school on purpose,(and yeah repetitive) but it's fun as hell, fast paced, and very refreshing. It's full of pure demon killing goodness, not much story, or boring cut scenes, just good old great GAME PLAY. I am having the most fun though with the multiplayer. DOOM muliplayer. is something I am really enjoying in the same way I enjoyed Quake 3 back in the day. .The pace is perfect, levels are well designed, armor and health pickups everywhere just like oldschool times, and it just feels FUN to play, not frustrating like battlefield or Call of Duty, just FUN! ... I understand the criticism that this game may be "too much" like the old school fps genre, and I think SOME modern improvements to certain things would have helped, but would have been hard to do without screwing up the whole "oldschool" feel.The people giving this game a 0 just to bring down the score need to be stopped.

    Probably one of my favorite games of 2016. DOOM (2016) has been the most fun I have had in a First Person Shooter in a very long time. Not only is it nice that you can disable Motion Blur and Expand the FOV (Field of View), the combat is fast paced and brutal.

    The level design is masterfully done, with tons of hidden secrets in every level, even some hidden old school gems. A lot of the levels have an arena-like look/feel, and when the music picks up it pumps your blood as you blast demons in the face with your double barrel shotgun.
    The gameplay is fast, visceral, satisfyingly brutal, and very fun.
    There was only a few times I wanted to pull my hair out due to a hard area or boss (yes, technically there is a boss every once in a while), however it made want to keep trying. There were sometimes I reloaded a checkpoint from dying and found some secrets I had missed along the way. You also have upgrades to your weapons and armor, as well as mods in the form of Runes. These all can adjust to your play style.
    The SnapMap is a nice addition. You can create your own maps, add whatever kind of mode you want, or play some of the more popular maps done by players or the developers from ID.
    The multiplayer is fun, reminds me of oldschool doom/Quake back in the day. However, my main draw point was the campaign and SnapMap, so I may be overlooking some things in Multiplayer.
    The game runs very smooth. I had Motion blur off and FOV turned up all of the way, and never saw any screen tearing, slow-down, or crashes.
    If you are looking for a good return to the oldschool fun formula of yesteryear, this is the game for you. If you love blasting demons in the face whilst jamming to an awesome soundtrack, this is also for you.
    This is easily a must-buy for all Demon Slayers out there.    … Expand

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

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

    Doom honors its legacy while setting the stage for a new era for the long dormant franchise. Intimately gory encounters and a surprising emphasis on story more than make up for the bland multiplayer.
