    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
