You'll scale stories only to by overwhelmed by demons from every direction. The demons range from slow and weak to agile and deadly.

    The multiplayer is superb as well. Plenty of game modes that will undoubtedly find an audience. The best part is becoming the same monstrosities in multiplayer that you set out to destroy in the campaign! Very polished, fast-paced multiplayer. Not for the faint of heart. ARENA.

    The graphics and sound are both off the charts. id tech 6 is visually stunning, competing only with the new Unreal Engine 4. The soundtrack is unbelievable, going from creepy atmospheric tones to metal depending on the action. Best sound and graphics I've seen in a game to date.

    Replay value is high due to the numerous ways you can customize your Doom Guy. The game also offers several difficulty levels, the highest (one death and it's over) being locked until you've completed nightmare.

    Overall it's one hell of a ride that's sure to keep you busy for months on end. Would Doom again 10/10    … Expand

    Glory kills feel smooth

    Monsters are visually well designed and pay homage to the originals

    Monsters are hard to kill
    Level design varies enough to not make the game repetitive
    Power-ups are amazingly fun

    Cons
    No spider demons
    Revenants don't resurrect the dead demons but summon instead (probably a tech limit but still)
    Cyber-Demon was a boss, This saddened me I would have loved to see them in normal game play
    Rune challenges while fun, kill immersion
    BFG is a special weapon like the chainsaw but has no real reason to be.
    The chain-gun feels underpowered compared to the heavy machine gun
    The health kits and armour pick-ups look really out of place in single player

    I've gotta say, Doom has to be the absolute best all-around shooter I've played this decade. The campaign forgoes long-winded cutscenes and sci-fi drama for raw, no-nonsense, fast-paced and relentless gameplay. And the MUSIC.

The campaign forgoes long-winded cutscenes and sci-fi drama for raw, no-nonsense, fast-paced and relentless gameplay. And the MUSIC. 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

They respond so precisely, so quick, they feel so natural. Doom 2016 does not care about the modern standarization of FPS's, there is no such thing as a regenerating health: if you want to recover HP, you need to find medipacks spread across the map, or man up and defeat your enemies for a health drop. Cornering away and shooting enemies from afar will not get you far in this game, specially on the later stages, where the amount of enemies on screen is RIDICULOUS, and not a single frame drop on my whole playthrough.

    Also, the chainsaw: an insta kill (on limited amounts, of course) to any enemy. When cut in half with the chainsaw, enemies drop ammunition, so your carnage of lead and bullets continues, this balance between insane amounts of action and shooting never stops, and even if you run out of ammo, with a simple cut of the chainsaw the action goes on, giving this shooter an unstopable pace, no moment feels dull or boring, its action from beggining to end, not even the story makes a halt to the fun experience: as it almost non existant: the plot may very well be resumed like this: the gates of hell are open, demons sprawl on mars, go ahead and kill them all. That's it: there's almost nothing to spoil, nothing to tell, and it feels so refreshing.

    I just cant stress enough how good and fun of a shoter Doom 2016 is, and if you're fan of the FPS genre, you own yourself to play this.    … Expand

    I started out not really liking it though cos I wasnt used to the Glory Kill and ammo/life/armor pickup system of old. So used to health regen that I forgot my 90s roots! Also, I kinda rushed from mission 1-5 at first and that made the game felt easy and pointless.

    My opinion and experience changed however when it slowly grew on me and I did a new playthrough, but this time paying close attention to everything the game has to offer.

    If u want the best Doom 2016 experience, TAKE YOUR TIME (ironically since it's so fast paced), and EXPLORE. The mission challenges, weapon upgrade challenges, rune upgrade challenges improves the gunplay to PERFECTION.

    Those optional mechanics made me feel the huge variety of gameplay and gunplay Doom has on offer, and it isnt just a game of point and shoot. The challenges made me vary my playstyle and using every single gun, not just shotgunning my way through. This resulted in the most fun i've had in an FPS since Destiny.

    Second thing I loved about Doom is the Secrets. I had fun hunting down every single mission collectible and secret locations. Its also rewarding as it gives u early access to powerful guns, much needed ammo/armor, extra lore, classic playable Doom maps and fun mini collectibles. Very satisfying and rewarding.

    Bosses are super cool, I had an amazing time beating them at "Hurt Me Plenty" difficulty. I cant imagine going thru all that in Ultimate nightmare. Insane!

    All in all, Doom 2016 delivered an experience so visceral, fun, simple yet engaging, that this has to be my shooter of the year for 2016.

    Destiny still ranks as top dog in my list, but wow is Doom a close second.    … Expand

    The gameplay is the most important part of this game and it flies. This game is one of the least tiring titles I've played for years. There's almost no story - just go and kill some demons in the most glorious way you can. There's some explanation to Doomguys motives and story later on but it is unobtrusive. You just want to play it, you don't have to force yourself.

    Weapons are very satisfying except for pistol. You couldn't have come up with a **** pistol in a shooter even if you researched the subject and worked on it for years. Fortunately, you get shotgun after 10 first demons and never come back to pistol ever again.

    Glory kills are fast and unobtrusive gorefests you'd expect. They look stunning but after a while are a tad repetitive which is really non-issue. You can disable them altogether in settings (or just disable the color marking on demon). You can also configure the game to display weapon model in the middle of screen just like in original Doom (really cool).

    Soundtrack is just stunning. You should really check it out yourself on Spotify or YT. Mick Gordon has done amazing job. The music is not background to the gameplay but is rather forefront and drives the gameplay. He's also a cool guy, you might want to see a review with him on Doom on YT.

    Visuals are also very good. The rendering engine reminds me of Alien Isolation which I have praised for amazing materials work. Same applies here but is extended to amazing metallic and wet material effects. This is all thanks to PBR. However what is the most amazing about the graphics in Doom, is that despite it being one of the best looking games on PS4, it maintains 60FPS in Singleplayer almost constantly. I have experienced maybe 2-3 FPS drops throughout the campaign.

    The game is also full of secrets like Doomguy toys (which unlock weapon/enemy models in a gallery in main menu) and hidden classic Doom levels. Finding them is plenty fun but the joy is a little diminished once you find the map of the level. Secret areas are shown on the map so it's easy to find them. Some secrets are behind doors which need to be opened with a lever - the lever is not shown on the map though and is usually really well hidden.

    There are also many mods for your weapons. 1/3 of them I considered **** (scope in a machine gun? this is Doom!) but the rest is really useful and fun. You unlock them by finding bots throughout UAC complex. You can also enhance your own skills with Demonic Runes. These have to be unlocked by doing certain challenges on seperate maps (kill X enemies with Y in Z seconds and many more).

    Overall I enjoyed this game a lot more than I expected. It would be 9.5 if it was possible due to the minor gripes I mentioned. I absolutely recommend this game to all Doom and FPS fans.    … Expand

    Amazing. Truly amazing. This is the DOOM we all know and love. A brilliant FPS with fantastic sound and enemy design. For an FPS, the campaign is a very good length and worth every penny. If you value atmospheric games, look no further than this!

    On a side note, it's sad that this game will get butchered with critic reviews because they refused to give in to the big corporations and    Amazing. Truly amazing.

    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.

    Exactly the right amount of old and new, DOOM is an adrenaline rush that borders on overwhelming in the best possible way.

    Doom's shimmering, bombastic combat is as absorbing as it is revelatory. [Aug 2016, p.100]
