    Doom is truly a game for all you overkill-loving gamers. The over-the-top gameplay of the single player keeps you constantly on your feet forcing you to move fast and think fast. 90% of time you will be fighting horde of demons, and 10% of time you will be exploring and discovering secrets.

This style of gameplay stays true to the original games from the 90's yet fits so well to the modern times. The campaign's story is pretty straight forward but unimpressive. Go here, kill demons,, activiate this, rinse and repeat. But the great gameplay makes you forget about the story.

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

    Finally, let's talk about Doom snapmap. There are endless choices here. You can use your imagination to create new maps and game modes.The best part is once you have created something, it can be shared with the rest of the community in your platform. I have already seen some interesting ones from maps made of classic 16-bit textures to a intense survival mode.

    In conclusion, DOOM is a solid fps that truly has its own unique nature to be different from other games while staying true to the originals, but it lacks a good story in campaign    … Expand

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

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

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

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

    In recent years Bethesda has prominently displayed it's penchant for publishing FPS games that are completely alternative when compared to the likes of Call of Duty, Battlefield and other regular shooter games.

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

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

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

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

Everything was over the top scary, nerve racking and most of all, fun! I always wondered why a publisher never remade Doom properly, well finally someone has taken on the task and to me, they did a great job! Better than I could of asked for. I recommend this game 100%. Let get into it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Id Software made a perfect job. DOOM is so nostalgic like old parts of franchise, and now has better gameplay, improved by many upgrades, challenges, etc.. flows on 60 fps with no any drops, i didn't see any bugs or other problems with a game. This game is finished from A to Z. Sure, DOOM doesn't have interesting story, just load your guns and shoot everything what you see :)

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. If you want something new with a very nostalgic feel or just an amazing single player fps this new era of Doom is worth your hard earned cash.… Expand

    I'll start off by saying that I'm not exactly the target audience for this game. While I loved Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, and Quake when I was younger, that was mainly because they were cutting-edge and offered never before seen experiences. These days, I look for good or unique storytelling in games and I find the typical grinds and gameplay loops boring.

    I'll start with the gameplay. It's    I'll start off by saying that I'm not exactly the target audience for this game.

These days, I look for good or unique storytelling in games and I find the typical grinds and gameplay loops boring.

    I'll start with the gameplay. It's everything you'd expect a modern version of Doom to be. The only minor issues with it is that rockets don't seem to be nearly as fun as they used to be (maybe that's more of a Quake thing), and feedback upon receiving damage is kind of light. It's a great change of pace from the hordes of military shooters we've had for the past 15+ years. Although if you've primarily played military shooters, then Doom will take some getting used to.

    Controlling the game via the PS4 controller works well enough, though isn't as good as a keyboard/mouse setup.

    I must praise the graphics. Playing this on a standard PS4 is amazing. Everything is fluid and looks great. This is one of the best-looking PS4 games I've played, though I primarily play RPGs. I wish more developers would license id's engine for their PS4 games.

    The story is the main reason I got this. Just hearing about Doom Guy and his disrespect for authority got me interested. The first level is amazing and there's some good characterization going on here, but after that, it's toned down a lot. Doom Guy doesn't start angrily breaking stuff again until one level in the middle of the game. And there's many sections throughout where he just stands there and watches. I really would have liked to see him do more. I was especially disappointed when meeting the final boss: he just stood there. Though I suppose his finishing move somewhat made up for it.

    The story is light. I remember there being more story and background in Doom 3 (2004). You only interact with three other characters through the whole game, and they're not all that interesting. They really just serve to give you a reason to go from one level to the next. There's a relatively small (compared to other games I play) number of data logs that contain information about the locations, weapons, monsters, and characters. But again, they're not too interesting.

    There's a surprising number of extras too, which I don't remember ever being in a previous Doom game. User-created levels, specific secret item/areas, and even original doom levels. This is always nice to see when most games these days repackage their extras as DLC.

    So yeah, I had an average time with this game. It was a bit fun to kill hordes of demons, but it got a bit monotonous for me with not a lot pushing me forward, storywise. It's staying in my collection regardless. As an old-school Doom fan, I wouldn't do anything else.    … Expand

This game oozes style and attitude and it is undoubtedly the best single player first person shooter experience I have had on the next gen consoles to date. But I have to be honest, I have not touched the multiplayer portion of this game and based on what I have read it is not the reason to purchase this title. It certainly was not for me so that is why I am focusing on the campaign only. And what a campaign it is! Firstly the graphics. Wow . I am playing on the PS4 on a Sony 4K TV and this game is jaw dropping. The textures, lighting and particle effects are all some of the best I have seen this generation. The game runs in full 1080p( though my television does upscale the image to 4K) at a consistent 60 frames per second which is an unbelievable feat considering the graphical fidelity on display here. For anyone familiar with this series and arena style shooters in general, the decision to provide a consistent 60 frames is highly appreciated. The art design is also top notch. The weapon models are exceptional as are the environments which range from space station corridors, sprawling areas on the surface of Mars with lots of verticality as well as dreadfully beautiful locales in the depths of Hell. The game’s aesthetic is reminiscent of old heavy metal album covers and it is all very very cool. The creature designs are also fantastic. There is a large variety from small grunt like demons who pepper you from a distance with hellfire balls to enormous demons with surgically attached machine gun arms. Very heavy metal indeed! The enemy AI is good. Foes are very aggressive and keep you on your toes. The game is fairly challenging at medium difficulty and downright Dark Soulsesque at the higher difficulty settings. The sound design does not take a backseat to the visuals. The game is powered by a driving heavy metal soundtrack which increases in intensity as the on screen action ramps up. Guns sound great and all of the ambient noises are top notch as well. Most importantly the gameplay delivers on every level. This is Doom. The speed of the game is the biggest factor here and it immediately sets Doom apart from any other shooter on the market. This game is fast. But the buttery smooth controls ensure that you have control over that speed at all times. This game is all about movement. Tactical concepts such as taking cover, regenerating your health, and picking your enemies off one by one will get you killed in Doom. Constant movement, good aim and an itchy trigger finger are your only methods of survival on Mars and in Hell. Movement is always a joy however, thanks to fantastic controls and a climbing system designed to navigate the environment with ease. Doom also introduces a Glory Kill system which consists of staggering an enemy with gunfire and then getting in close for a brutal melee kill. Since Doom sticks to its old school roots it does not feature regenerating health. Instead Glory Kills provide you with a small health burst for every enemy taken down in that fashion and it adds a great tactical aspect to the shooting formula and I found it to be a relatively small but very welcome addition. But this is Doom as you remember it and also what you imagined it would be like in 2016. In terms of story its completely serviceable. The gates of hell are accidentally opened on a remote research facility on the surface of Mars and it’s up to Doomguy to put his jet powered space marine boot up Satan’s behind. War and Peace this is not but if anyone wanted a super intricate story line complete with branching story paths and dialogue options simply does not understand what Doom is all about. You are here to kill demons and kill demons you do. In glorious fashion! Doom also includes a very user friendly SnapMap feature which allows users to create a variety of multiplayer, single player and co-op content which adds a lot of value and replayability since there is always something new to play. This game is an absolute blast. It is highly polished, infectiously addictive and I cannot put it down. I know many review sites have really knocked down the score because the multiplayer is not great but if you are interested in Doom for all of the right reasons I would highly recommend this title.… Expand

    Jogo foda pra kralho , nunca me diverti tanto em um FPS , diversão pura , jogar sem preocupação , só pegar a **** gun e estora os demonios , valeu a pena a espera , muita violencia do jeito que o povo gosta , espero que façam o hell on earth , pois o remake do 1 ta de respeito , ID ta de parabéns ouviu o que os verdadeiros fãs queriam um jogo de ação frenética e não um jogo de terror .

Most of the negative reviews seem to stem from a combination of cry babies who didn't get an early copy to review or trolls just trying to bring the rating down. The audio and visuals are very impressive as is the solid framerate. O really couldnt ask for more in a single player campaign. The multiplayer is good too just different. It seems to be catching some unjust flak for not playing like a COD game, but...IT ISNT COD! It is more of a fast paced "arcade" type shooter. Jumping, circle strafing and aggression are key. something that i feel like many players have lost in the one shot kill, or quickscope kill method too many people have adopted or come to expect from modern shooters. Well done Bethesda/Id, a breath of fresh air in a COD cloning market.… Expand

I'm glad this shooter has gone back to basics and I truly love it. The multiplayer isn't the greatest in the world however the campaign and snap map feature (which by the way, I haven't seen anything like it on consoles) are awesome.

    I spent hours and hours into snap map making my own maps along with game modes to go along with it. Snap map is cool, and you can create whatever is possible within a shooter franchise. Examples : I played whack a mole with a shotgun along with tower defense games 4 person co op. I'm currently making my own campaign and leaving some secrets out there for players to find. Snap map is cross platform so everyone can enjoy.

    For the second portion of this review, is the campaign, it's gotta be the most refreshing FPS campaign I've played in awhile. Examples : Doom Guy doesn't give a ****, an AI is being serious to him and he smashes it without a care in the world. Meltdown imminent? he doesn't care he's there to kill demons until he dies along with him. Total immersive experience the campaign is and I recommend it to anyone bored with the usual in the gaming industry. Really addictive game play to boot.

    As for the Multiplayer, it isn't the greatest in the world but it is a lot of fun with friends, I have more fun with it than CoD if you want an idea of how it is. It's 6v6 and has powerups, pickups (Ammo, Armor, Health) Demon Runes (which turn you into a demon) These you pick up and can give your team a massive advantage, however if he gets killed the killer takes on the reins of the demon himself.

    It is interesting and I hope iD Software gives it more attention and makes it more fun. This is the granddaddy of all shooters after all and it deserves the number 1 spot when it comes to innovation in FPS. Conclusion: Multiplayer is the only thing dragging the game down, which even then it's all just gravy compared to it's Snap map and campaign. Those two alone are worth the price of admission. Snap Map has endless content for all to enjoy and it's a worthwhile choice if you're looking for something new.    … Expand

    Like most other reviewers agree, this is the evolution of the DOOM franchise as it should be.

While DOOM 3 took the horror feel and none of the action from the original 2 DOOM games, this one brought back all the gore and action you could ever ask for. 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

    I must say that I have been one happy man with releases like Wolfenstein: New Order/Old Blood and Shadow warrior. Now this Doom is latest addition for that list. I mean good single player first person shooter.

    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.

    But Doom is good sp fps that I bet I'm gonna visit again and again like I did and do with Wolfenstein.    … 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

    This game deserves a 9 because it represents a refreshing departure from the stale formula that many recent shooters have followed. The gameplay mechanics are smooth and perfectly responsive. Add that to the interesting guns, creative mods, and impressive graphics; and DOOM delivers instant, FPS fun.

    When I first time got this game, I really like its style, blood, straight way. But I feel boring when I continue played to the end. The story is poor and boring. A good way to get off the pressure.

    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.

    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.
