    Fantastic, a masterpiece. This is EXACTLY what people had been crying out for. It goes back to the roots of Doom 1 and 2, and leaves the Doom 3 scary stuff at the door (for the most part).

    Visually it's the best thing I've seen on my PS4, and gameplay wise it's a whole load of fun. It's EXTREMELY fast paced - much more so than the initial videos had led on, it's actually really difficult too - I'm playing on the medium difficulty level and I'm getting my ass handed to me regularly. I often find myself and 1-5 health and then have to find some health or complete a glory kill to stay in the game.

    On the subject of glory kills, I have no issue with them what-so-ever. Despite the fact you can turn them off, I enjoy the fact they bring a seconds breather to the insane action that is going on around me. This is 2016 - games need to evolve and Doom is doing it brilliantly.

    The gameplay is a mix of exploration (quite linear but a tonne of secrets), corridors / large open spaces you need to traverse parkour style, and then big epic arenas which really test what you're made of. It's exactly what I wanted and finds a perfect mix of arena action and normal FPS - people complaining clearly can never be pleased in my opinion.

    The single player is well paced, the weapons are insane, as are the audio and visuals. And then, after all of that, you also have a real fun arena style multiplayer. People who didn't like the multiplayer clearly had the wrong idea of what Doom multiplayer should be. Awwww you don't regenerate? Poor COD fanboy! Remember, collect health and collect Armour - that's how you survive!

    I have had a play with Snapmap too - it seems super powerful. You can build offline if you want to, and the tutorials are well thought out and a good way to get into what appears to be complex level creation. It's early days for Snapchat - I'm sure they'll be adding more content in the weeks to come. I for one would love to see the ability to create "open" environments set in Hell and Mars - I suspect this will come but at the moment you can't. The logic system however is pretty powerful and you can basically customize LOADS. It's going to take me weeks to get properly to grips with the tool - but I'm excited to see what the community creates.

    I really would ignore the haters, those voting 0/1 and claiming it's "Not fast enough". They clearly don't have the game. It's epic fast! Top stuff. I'd be surprised if the critic review score didn't average at over 9.    … Expand

    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!

    I think this rating system is deeply flawed and anyone trusting numbers on a game for purchase are extremely foolish. Buy it, play it... and enjoy it. It's a fun game without any emotional "strings" attached. Lots of blood, guts and general adrenaline to behold.

Hardcore COD fans beware though; this an arena shooter (as opposed to popcorn shooters, one hit kills) but those of us who remember/ enjoyed arena shooters of back in the day (eg: Unreal Tournament and Quake) then you'll have an absolute blast! As someone who played the Beta - the first round or two really didn't sell me but after a few more matches I was hooked - something about the speed mixed with the varied mechanics: shield pick ups, becoming a demon, the original guns ect. - all just came together to form a shooter that's just simple, uncomplicated fun. There's not a lot of gun modifications, different attachments, unlockables ect. (eg. COD/Battlefield) but sometimes there doesn't have to be. Which is ultimately why this shines - it's simple, fast and fun - straight up. Just like the games which gamers have come to know, love and hold dear in our hearts from the 90's. And that's exactly what this Doom gives you.

    So, what are you waiting for?! Grab this, NOW! Suit up, shot gun in hand and have a blast! (pun intended)    … Expand

    Level design, while maybe not as intricate as doom 1/2 at the time of their respective releases, is relatively intricate compared to the modern linear corridor shooter. Secrets galore and alternate paths through environments. Well-paced gameplay, modernized classic doom enemies you actually have to put some thought into how you want to tackle. Plus they add quite a bit to the doom formula to innovate on things, like some genuinely interesting boss mechanics and alternate fire modes on weapons (and multiple other upgrade systems that tie into exploration of the level).

    Story-wise it doesn't take itself seriously and goes for a tongue-in-cheek vibe that I'm sure most classic Doom fans will enjoy, much more than the brooding atmospheric doom 3.

    Nonetheless, the multiplayer is still not doing much for me and feels very formulaic. Snapmap might be interesting, but I'll have to wait and see as players build levels using that in-game tool.

    The campaign though carries enough content and replayability via secrets and easter eggs that I can see myself going back time and again just for that. Needless to say this is a must-play for anyone who is dying for an evolution on single-player fps gameplay.    … 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

Smartly, though, game-altering pick-ups like upgrades to your suit and weapons are easy to find, so it doesn't punish gameplay if you don't feel like collecting. Framerate is buttery-smooth throughout, which is particularly impressive for such beautifully done levels that are also very, very fast. SnapMap is smart and totally unnecessary, but brilliant.

Literally giving it a zero not because of the quality of the game or work of developers, but because of the actions of the publisher.

    Whatever. I could rant about people who are mad because it's not "Doom 3 Part 2", and because it's not what they expected they're emotionally rating and giving a zero score ("because if it's not what I expected, then NOTHING can be good about it!") but I won't bother. Here's my review of the campaign. I'll be honest - I was sure this game would be terrible when I saw the first in-game footage. I was wrong.

    What it does best:

    The action is the #1 main attraction of DOOM, and once you accept this game for what it is (not DOOM 3, not a horror game), you'll thoroughly enjoy each encounter. Understand what this game's goal is; intensity. DOOM is at its best when you're in a large room surrounded by a horde of hungry demons. The action is viceral, and the glory kill system provides a great risk/reward mechanic. You're always outnumbered and your health depletes fast, but glory killing a foe provides a moderate amount of health just when you think you're done for (think rally from Bloodborne). The guns and the upgrade system are very well designed. Performing unique and creative feats with your weapons allows you to unlock their top tier upgrades, forcing you to experiment with the entire arsenal so you're not just playing through the entire campaign with your one favorite weapon. The level design, secrets, and unlockables are all masterfully well done. The controls are also very well tuned.

    What it does well:

    At first, I didn't like the speed of the game. However, when the game started introducing larger firefights, I began to like it more. That said, the speed is great fun when you're in the middle of a firefight, but not so great when you're moving through the many tight corridors of DOOM.

    The graphics are also very very good - some of the best on PS4 - but, it might be kinda hard to take in the sights and appreciate the soft shadows and subsurface scattering when you're literally moving at 30mph through the environments. Regardless, the graphics are great and my playthrough seemed locked at 60FPS consistently.

    One major point that ID deserves kudos for is allowing FOV adjustments from the settings menu. As someone who gets motion sick from many FPS games, this is a godsend. Thank you.

    Where it can improve:

    The music tends to pick up when a firefight begins. Sometimes the music is good, but most times it's pretty bad. I listen to quite a bit of metal and I've rarely heard such discordant industrial mess. Bring back the music from DOOM3 that was so clearly taken from Lateralus/Tool. :)

    I played the game on ultra violence (hard) the first time and didn't find it difficult enough. Therefore, I'm assuming the standard difficulty is way too easy.

    Last, and this is my own personal preference; I felt that the creatures were very well designed, but they seemed a bit too "comicy" (think Joe Madureira but not quite so exaggerated). I would've preferred more realistic looking demons; regardless, they look cool.

    SUMMARY:

    DOOM 3 had an amazing and horrifying atmosphere, but this new DOOM trades that for more enjoyable gameplay. This is more fun than DOOM 3. It's a game for gamers. 9/10.    … Expand

There's also a perk like system where you complete challenges to earn perks that give you special abilitys. The enemies are very fast and fun to fight. The AI is pretty straight forward; spawn in a big group, run after him as fast as you can, move from his attacks, and hit him or shoot at him till he's dead. I had no problems with the AI at all because I feel its perfect for the kind of game it is. The reason is that these are demons from hell who are without any real human emotion, so thats why theyll kill till they die, and thats why they spawn in hordes. The gameplay is ment for fast instant combat without cover, and if the enemies ran away or hid behind cover when low on health it'll get rid of the flow of the game. It has a story thats kind of their, which I'm completely fine with because the original Dooms have never really had much at all an in depth campaign story. Doom has always been about crazy action and violence. What I got from the story is that it's mysterious, strange, and at times disturbing. Its honestly telling more of a backstory of how it all happened, mostly though holograms of key events and environmental story telling.

    Even though Doom has most things right, their are some little flaws. With the weapons, theres a balanceing problem. I tend to almost always use the super shotgun, and I feel you get it a bit to early in the game so any other weapon you are useing at the begaining felt a bit useless. The other shotgun in the game, the combat shot gun is a bit too underpowered and even upgradeing it doesn't do much even after immediately finishing the early game levels. The super shotgun doesnt even have much to upgrade because of how O.P it already is. Even the rocket luncher is no much for the super shotgun. Even though balance is a bit of a problem, different weapons have different advantages. The super shotgun is the best at close quarter combat, the rocket launcher is best at range combat, the plasma and machine guns are best at very fast sweeping combat, which is basicly just constantly shooting like crazy at groups of enemies. After doing the same glory kills the hole game it gets really repetitve and less satisfying but its a great way to get health and can speed up gameplay through perk like upgrades. That may have seemed like a lot of very negative stuff but their two very minor things you dont notice much.    … Expand

My time with the campaign has been limited and quite frankly, I didn't make the purchase to play through the story even though reviews of it have been mostly positive.

    Doom's Multiplayer is actually a bit challenging to critique. When broken down component by component, you will find there are some aspects that seem to be lacking that extra something to take it from a good title to a great title. With that being said, collectively the multiplayer experience is quite enjoyable even if at the end of the day it is somewhat basic when compared to other online shooters of this generation. In actuality it may be that simplicity that makes Doom such a blast to play online. Users aren't stuck endlessly customizing their load outs for every possible map and scenario, or caught up in needless weapon upgrade menus deciding which minuscule item to add to their rifle, the user simply hops in and begins to cause as much carnage as possible.
    The gameplay, while not exactly being top tier in regards to physics/mechanics, runs surprisingly smooth considering the sheer amount of craziness taking place at any given moment. What do I mean by craziness? To put it simply, Doom's beauty is in its chaos. Whether you're in an object based game, or playing good old fashion team deathmatch, there will never be a shortage of flat out destruction taking place all around you.
    This is partially due to your weapon options. While being somewhat limited in selection, Doom's guns are definitely one of its strong points. From rocket launchers to mortar converting shotguns, players have enough options to create load outs that can range from an up close and personal game style to a more balanced mid range attack class. Perhaps the best thing about these weapons is the fact that players can select any two they want for their load out. There are no distinctions between a "primary" or "secondary" weapons. What does this mean? It means gone are the days of running out of ammo and having to run around with your little pistol between your legs, don't worry you have a second weapon that can be just as powerful as your first.

    The game's maps also add to the fast paced style of play. Utilizing relatively small and close quarter designs with a good level of verticality gives players instant access to the action yet allows just enough space for multiple playing styles. Add in super weapon and demon spawns and you are left with a world where there is little escaping Doom's high level of violence, sorry campers.

    When it comes to customization, you're really only going skin deep however this is not a bad thing. With an insane amount of armor options, and the color/pattern schemes that can be altered, users can be confident that no two players (at least aesthetically) will be alike. Loadout customization is as straight forward as it gets, pick two guns and one piece of gear and go. Not too much intricacy here, and there doesn't have to be.

    Overall Doom's multiplayer experience is straight forward and perfect for anyone who enjoys fast paced online shooters. With never relenting action and violence, this game offers a good option to anyone looking to bulster their FPS collection.    … Expand

    The time to Fight Like Hell has finally arrived, and it came with a bang. Doom is a return to basics shooter, and it shows us exactly how to reboot a franchise while maintaining all the fundamentals it was built upon in the first place.

    I can’t express enough the excitement I’ve experienced while playing through the Single Player Campaign for Doom. Doom pulls no punches and it delivers    The time to Fight Like Hell has finally arrived, and it came with a bang. Doom is a return to basics shooter, and it shows us exactly how to reboot a franchise while maintaining all the fundamentals it was built upon in the first place.

    I can’t express enough the excitement I’ve experienced while playing through the Single Player Campaign for Doom. Doom pulls no punches and it delivers on an excessively violent and gory level. It manages to keep that horror film vibe, and while there isn’t a lot of tension when it comes to a scare factor, the fight for your own survival is what keeps your heart pounding. Doom continues throughout to relentlessly throw hordes of demons your way, not giving you an opportunity to slow down. However, there are key points in the game where you must think on your feet, because once you stop is when you die. I’m not going to go into the story at all, as I really want everyone to experience it for themselves. It’s not the most exciting story out there, but it works as far as Doom is concerned. ‘Id Software’ made it a point to show that gameplay is what matters this time. With each new weapon that I obtained, I began to feel more powerful. I tried to combine the use of multiple weapons throughout each level and it worked very well to my advantage. The ability to seamlessly switch between one weapon to another feels as smooth as butter and was obviously a great design choice.

    This game really goes out of its way to make you feel like the ultimate bad ass, and with each new weapon and upgrade, your frag count is sure to be staggering. As you progress, there are tons of secrets to be found, and to be honest, I missed quite a lot of them. Most of these secret areas allow you to upgrade either your health, armor, or your ammo capacity; or some allow you to gather an upgrade point for your weapons. The best part about all of this is that none of it is required to finish the game. It’ll make your life hell through your time spent in the game, but… that’s the point, right?

    Let’s go into the multiplayer. There isn’t a whole lot to be said here about the multiplayer; especially if you’ve played pretty much any Call of Duty title out there. You level up, you earn different armor, and weapons and demons are locked behind that ugly “Level Wall”. Doom’s multiplayer really feels like Call of Duty with a Doom Paint-Job. That’s not to say that it’s not fun, or just plain bad; We’ve just all been there before.

    One example is that with old school arena shooters, we’re used to finding weapons lying about the map we’re fighting on. Not this time. This time we’re forced to go by the dreaded “Loadout” style, and pick two weapons to play with, and one type of grenade. It’s not a horrible way to go about this, but that takes away the title of “Arena Shooter” and replaces it with “Arcade Shooter”, or...once again... “Call of Duty Shooter”. Now, I won’t sit here and tell you that I’m not having a blast with the multiplayer, because I am. I just wish it was a little more old school.

    However, what it lacks, it makes up for in speed. Doom’s multiplayer is extremely fast paced, which is part of what defined the arena shooter back in the day. Doom, Quake, and even Unreal Tournament were all apart of this at one point. Let’s hope it stays that way for future multiplayer shooters.

    So let’s move on to the final feature of the game. SnapMap. This mode allows you to design your own maps, more specifically, what type of game you create with that map. SnapMap allows you to make everything from DeathMatch to Extraction (Missions) to Survival. It’s a very intuitive tool that let’s you very easily create things you couldn’t before. I like to call it “Map Editor for Dummies”. There are tutorials that teach you everything you need to know to create the perfect masterpiece.

    I have just one problem with this extensive feature. Everything you create, you have to play in SnapMap mode. I want to be able to make a map, and release it to the community to play in Multiplayer! I don’t quite understand the logic behind id Software’s choice here, but I have a strong feeling that eventually SnapMap will die out. My suggestion would be that they allow, at the very least, the ability to release maps according to the modes available in Multiplayer. If that doesn’t happen, I don’t see SnapMap last very long. It’s an amazing feature that almost seems pointless.

    So here we are with a new Doom, and a new era of horror shooters. This total reboot shows exactly what made id Software the top dogs of their time, and that they’re still able to pull off something amazing. With the single player being the shining star, the multiplayer being a decent addition, and SnapMap which may or may not break itself, we have one very cool, and complete game. I recommend Doom to anyone a fan of shooters or not.

    I purchased Doom with a certain amount of reluctance. As with any remake of a classic, fan-favourite, game Doom had a lot to live up to and, after the abomination that was Doom 3, you could hardly blame me.

    Doom does not do cut-scenes; it does not need to pad itself out with stunning cinematics to lengthen it's story and detract from the gameplay.

    From the moment the game starts you are up to your eyes with undead and demons alike. Near the story of my journey I found myself wondering whether this constant flow over enemies attempting to wash over me would get tiresome. It didn't. It got more entertaining, more intense, and, in some cases, more hilarious.

    Visually the game looks fantastic; from the lighting and environment effects, to the general feel of the environments you're in.

    The sound effects are brilliant, thought I concede my least favourite is when I'm too caught up n the action and a noise sounds to alert me to my dangerously low health.

    Gameplay-wise, it just feels like someone has taken my beloved childhood game and brought up to the visual standards of 2016, with a few querky extras along the way.

    It has to be, hands down, one of the best FPS games I have played in a long time.

    Every weapon is perfectly balanced in terms of output, making your choice of weapon more situational than simply because it's overpowered. The exception being the BFG, ofcourse.

    The story is subtle. I fully understand what's going on at all times, and I'm interested to learn more as the game progresses, but it does not force you to watch cut-scene upon cut-scene.

    The multiplayer is an intense assortment of game modes, most of which you'll have experienced in other multiplayer online games. The balancing of the guns translates to the multiplayer, meaning every gun has its own pros and cons, without there being one clear winner. Though you can never go wrong with shotgun.

    Doom's interesting spin on your tactical throwing items is incredibly fun to play around with. We still have the classic Frag grenade, but you can also enjoy a personal teleporter, tesla greande, siphon grenade, energy shield wall, and more!

    There is nothing funnier than throwing your personal teleporter over an enemy combatants head, as you face them in head to head combat, only to appear behind them and unload a double barrel into their spine.

    Oh, and did i mention Demons? A demon buff will spawn every pre-fixed amount of time throughout a round and the first person to read said buff becomes the demon they have selected for their current loadout. If you're fortunate/quicker enough to become the demon try to avoid being killed, if the enemy kills you before the buff expires naturally they can pick it up and then terrorise you for a short period.

    So in summary; Doom has far exceed any initial expectations I had for the game. I bought it without any real conviction but it has kept me enticed since I started playing. If, like me, you're tired of the same COD-style shooters that we seem to be inundated with, get Doom. It's not all that often I enjoy both multiplayer and campaign.

    Oh, and it has a chainsaw.    … 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

And the simple reason why this game is so fantastic is simply because it just like your good-old traditional FPS. The gameplay is fast, fluent, gory and simply just insane fun. This game fulfils its purpose in every way because it doesn't rely on an intriguing storyline or brilliant characters, it knows actually what it is and what it should be, and in doing so has created a masterful FPS that returns to its former glory. While the gore, lack of an intriguing story and First-person action may not suit well with some people. The point is that Doom is an insane, fast-paced, traditional FPS that does exactly what it should, and people who love FPS games (like me) will absolutely adore this game. And as i said earlier, this is the best FPS in many years, and is a natural evolution to arguably the FPS that started it all.… Expand

    "The multiplayer feels like a modern remake of Quake (pick one, they are all essentially the same). Which is not a bad thing, but it honestly lacks the necessary depth to keep you invested in the long term. Again, is fun but not a substantial addition to your free time."
    I just cant stay silent. DUDE!!! Nowadays there are NO GAMES skillwise like quake was!!! Wake up!! You are an ignorant - dont write about things you have no idea. Install Q1/Q2/Q3 on Your PC and try duel anyone who can play those games - Youll loose without getting any frags and youll die over 50 times in 10 minutes! These games are pure skill, nothing like post COD/BATTLEFIELD massive campfest, airstrike, bland noskill multiplayer titles. And the difference between multiplayer in Q1 (ultra fast gameplay), Q2 (slow, more tactical approach) and Q3 (mix of the first two) is also groundbreaking!

    Ok, thats enough about old Quake games, on to the DOOM. Its quite fresh, with definitelly fun frentic action, maybe a bit too chaotic - especially in multi, which seems also a bit more skill oriented than battlefields - cant say more about that, because modes involvig over 4 players playing simultaneously are too chaotic and playing fps shooter on game pad is pointless - skill starts witch attaching mouse and keyboard.
    Also I would love to see some global ladders/ranks in place of stupid perks (dumbest thing in multiplayer, where newbies are handicapped not only from being fresh to the game, but also have worse equipment/skilsets). Besides why do You start with good weapons? If they want to stay true to their roots, then we should all start with standard pistol on respawn, and grab weapons from strategic points on map - this was always giving maps A LOT of tactic and was the main reason that the knowledge of arenas were key points to win the match. Now only accuracy and proper weapon choice counts...

    Single player campaign is really nice, mindless, adrenaline pumping fun. And yeah it really feel
    great to clear difficult area of monsters. Glory kills are nice but what the hell are they doing in multiplayer part? Upgrades in single player campaign are also nice idea. For me its even better than the first 2 doom games back in their days. I am also aware, that those were turning point for gaming industry and the newest one is just a good, but forgetable game.

    Overall the game is great. I am complaining, but I have to face it - market changed, nowadays nobody wants to play really skill oriented multiplayer fps games. But You probably will enjoy this title a lot, because of sheer fun it gives. One of the best fps experience in a long time.    … Expand

Este Doom es pura diversión, hace extremadamente bien la mecanica en la que se basa: disparar y matar y matar. Incluso las secciones de plataformas y exploración en busca de secretos son geniales.

    Every area is a new playground of murder. Every zone is another chance to go head to head with some of the biggest, baddest demons around, rip their eyes out of their heads, and shove them down their throats. It's over the the top Glory Kills REALLY drive the "feel" of the game home. The faster you kill, the more recklessly you play, the more your rewarded, not just with showers of health (and later armor), but also in spectacular death animations that just don't get old.

    All this and it's FULL of well hidden and fun to find secrets, an intuitive yet interesting weapon/armor upgrade system, remade retro levels to find and murder your way through, and one of the most well optimized, bug free experiences I've had from an AAA title maybe ever.

    This game is worth every penny for the campaign mode alone, and then there's the SnapMap feature which I hear is already turning out some quality content. And multiplayer, if that's your thing (it's not mine...but I don't mind at all cause the single player is so good).

    So if your idea of a great time is crouching behind waist-high walls and waiting for health to regen while the enemy ineffectually attempts to shoot you from long range, look elsewhere. But if your idea of a good time is wandering into the wrong part of Hell and tearing every single resident apart with your bare hands till you're wading in the gore, than yeah, buy this game now.    … Expand

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. Those of you that grew up with Doom like I did I think will be just as surprised as I was.… Expand

    Hell is literally taking over a secret Mars facility and the only one who can save humanity is this mysteriously overpowered, silent sentinel, who clearly needs no help and somehow manages to make an already gory scene even gorier. So what is our hero to do? Fight like hell! Doom is a throwback to when games didn't need to be bogged down with complex story-lines, cultural references, hugeHell is literally taking over a secret Mars facility and the only one who can save humanity is this mysteriously overpowered, silent sentinel, who clearly needs no help and somehow manages to make an already gory scene even gorier. So what is our hero to do? Fight like hell! Doom is a throwback to when games didn't need to be bogged down with complex story-lines, cultural references, huge set pieces, or crazy amounts of multiplayer content to be considered great. What you find instead is a wonderfully gory bad-ass death dealing experience.

    The goriest and most satisfying moments in Doom are found in its almost 13-hour campaign. While the actual story is rather bland, the combat is what compels you to keep plugging away at the game. Gone are the days where you’re forced to use cover and military tactics to complete your missions, Doom lets you actually live out an action movie. You’re motivated to move from enemy to enemy, dealing out enormous amounts of damage at every enemy in your path, arena style. Your Doom Guy doesn’t know when to stop. Your character moves at a ridiculously fast pace to creating a hectic sense of combat. You’re given tons of opportunities to use the environment within combat as well. Jumping from platform to platform is so seamless that it becomes second nature to bounce around for better combat vantage points.

    "You’re motivated to move from enemy to enemy, dealing out enormous amounts of damage at every enemy in your path, arena style."

    Onto the guns! Aside from the main weapon choices in Doom, you also have a hand full of special weapons that offer a unique tool. You can finish off a horde of enemies with a single shot from the classic BFG or turn a single demon into a pile of gory giblets with the chainsaw. The chainsaw is easily the highlight of your special weapon choices. Not only do you witness one the bloodiest death scenes in a game, you also have a tool to save you from a situation where ammo is just not available. You get an instant, satisfying kill with your chainsaw and, out of the bloody carcass of whichever poor demon is on the receiving end of your beautiful weapon, you get a rain of ammo as a reward. Do you kill off the demon tossing rockets everywhere or do you save your fuel (which is located throughout a level for the chainsaw) for when your ammo supply begins to dry out? Doom presents so many intense battles that your choices are all split second decisions that never feel too overwhelming.

    I found myself never utilizing the full arsenal at my disposal. The plasma gun felt a little under-powered and my poor pistol never saw the light of day unless I was completely out of ammo. After acquiring most of the weapons in the game, I came to realize that some weapons shared the same ammo pool. It was an interesting concept, but I felt forced to hold off using some inferior weapons so that I didn’t lose the ammo needed for the more interesting options. Everyone will have their own favorites, of course, but it felt a little too restrictive for me. The variety given each weapon is impressive with the upgrade system.

    "Every new area you visit is more impressive than the last."

    Doom is split into three parts and the multiplayer is the black sheep in the bunch. There is a bit of a disjointed feel to the combat in the multiplayer side of Doom. My attacks didn’t feel as effective against live opponents, and I would have loved for some of that bad-ass feeling from the single player campaign to find its way into multiplayer. At times, you can pick up the demon power-up which was the highlight of my experience. Thrashing around and causing mayhem as a baron of hell never gets tiring. With that being said, it felt like far too much of an advantage. I played way too many matches where one team had the demon rune consistently throughout a match, and no amount of skill could overcome.

    SnapMap is by far one of the simplest tools to create imaginative gameplay that I have seen in a shooter. Snapping enemies, power-ups, environments, and all manner of goodness is a button click away. You never feel overwhelmed with your choices after working through the well-made tutorial. The SnapMap also allows you to share your custom games or explore amazing created content from players around the world. One of the best examples was a match I played where you faced endless waves of enemies in a “horde mode” where communication and cooperation with other players is key. After having that much fun with such a simple SnapMap creation, I look forward to what other types of games the player base can create.

    Doom focuses so much on gameplay, level design & atmosphere that you almost don't notice that the story is minimal and you are just going from area to area introducing demons to your shotgun. They do this with fast, frenzied gunplay & challenging the way you approach combat. Each section of the game gives you "challenges" which task you to take out enemies a certain way or explore your surroundings in order to gain points for upgrading your armor & guns.

    This game is a breath of fresh air! Regenerating health? Nope. Reloading...yeah no! But finding yourself in pinch with little to no ammo as a Hell Knight bears down on you only to be cut down by your chainsaw so that he spills ammo to keep you in the fight just that much longer....oh hell yes!    … Expand

    I wasn't sure how I would like the Glory Kill system but believe me, when you start using it, it'll be your preferred method of killing - seeing how the monsters are ripped apart by your own bare hands, managing to get some health along the way.

    A few frame-rate issues to date and a little tearing here and there, which you barely notice as you combat the hordes of monsters running towards you. I have also tried multiplayer but it's early days and there was severe lag. I'm hoping this is improved with time (much like PS4's DriveClub) but early impressions are good - it's a no-frills old-school multiplayer game, just this time over the internet rather than serial-to-serial on PC in 1993.

    It's been said this game will mostly attract fans of the original DOOM and DOOM II and that's probably true, but if you want a 'no thinking just shoot' wrapped up with gorgeous graphics and gameplay, buy it!    … Expand

    This is DOOM. Straight up. There's no nonsense here. It's intense, aggressive, and is an adrenaline fueled joyride from start to finish that never lets you go for an instant.

    DOOM is the game DOOM 3 wishes it was. Going back to what made the original great, it focuses on being fast and fluid, possessing rewarding and cathartic combat that's fast and brutal and bloody. Killing demons is an absolute joy to behold, and tearing through the hordes makes you feel like an absolute badass.

    The story is who the f*** cares? You kill demons, that's it. Kill ALL the demons. Well, okay, there IS story, and actually not a bad one, though your involvement in it is not much more than a torrent of destruction and carnage that can't be stopped by anything. The DOOM Marine is, ironically, passive in the narrative as a whole, being more of a side character, despite being the bane of all of Hell. The story fluff is contained in the codex, which has detailed descriptions on lore and characters and locations and demons and all that, which you can read any time you want if you care about that kind of thing, something the DOOM Marine couldn't give a flying demon's lower jaw about. He's there for one thing; to kill demons. A lot of demons. ALL the demons, preferably.

    The gameplay, as stated before, is fast and aggressive. No cover based shooting here, folks. Combat is reliant on having quick feet, quick reflexes, and quick trigger fingers, requiring nerves of steel as you tear your way through the legions of Hell's minions. The game's main addition to combat is the "glory kill" system, which is not an innuendo, trust me. Weakened demons can be finished off with a pre-animated takedown move, which thankfully is quick and stylish, never breaking up the fast paced flow of combat with a huge overdone cutscene like other games tend to do. You'll take off a demons arm and smack them in the face with it and then jump to the next demon to kick his legs out from under him and punch his face into the floor within the course of a few seconds, and it all blends in perfectly. Performing these moves will yield health, providing incentive to take demons down in this method, allowing you to keep up the fight and keep the pressure on as you rip and tear your way around the combat arenas.

    The game also harks back to the original games by featuring open ended maps that focus on key hunting, also having many collectibles to track down and collect, which is what you usually do with collectibles. The promise of weapon and armor upgrades as well as additional health, armor and ammo capacity properly incentivises exploration through the sprawling maps, looking for secrets that can be anything from the listed above, to even original DOOM levels, complete with original 8-bit graphics that are fully playable.

    The weapons are just as satisfying as the combat. All of them, save the starting pistol, are brutally effective at eliminating Hell's legions, and all are viable options... except the starting pistol. Unlocking secondary firing modes gives new combat options, ranging from a grenade launcher for your shotgun to micro-missiles for your assault rifle, to a stun bomb for your plasma rifle to a lock-on function for your rocket launcher. All of these can be upgraded individually through upgrade points you earn through the game for finding secrets and killing demons in order to increase their effectiveness, and doing so allows you to outright destroy even the most powerful demons. The weapons are practically in this for the same reasons you are; to kill demons.

    The DOOM Marine himself is also worth mentioning. Despite not having a single line of dialogue, he is one of the most charismatic characters I have ever seen in any game. Simply through first-person gestures, you see what kind of person the DOOM Marine is, his personality conveyed entirely through his interactions with the world and with other entities in it, and it speaks volumes. The DOOM Marine has more character and personality through action alone than so many other video game characters that have hundreds of lines of dialogue to work with and just end up being bland and generic. The DOOM Marine is two things: he's angry, and he HATES demons. Not the most complex character, fair enough, but the sheer personality infused into the character just through his actions make him so likable. The first bits of dialogue in the game, being an expository monologue by the main corporate guy, is interrupted by the DOOM Marine grabbing the monitor and tossing it aside, because he couldn't care less about what's going on around him. He's there for one thing, the thing that his whole existence revolves around, and the same reason you're here as well. To kill demons. ALL demons.

    I could go on for hours about this game, but I'll leave it at this: this is DOOM. It pays homage to the original games without licking its boots, and stands proudly as a worthy successor to its legendary heritage.    … 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

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

    The campaign really does feel like good old fashion Doom.

    + fast paced
    + terrific sound track
    + you feel like a bad ass when you survive a horde of enemies
    + cool bosses

    - I don't know if the multiplayer turned out the way they were hoping, especially the map making stuff. It's 2 years since the game's release and I can't get into an online match to save my life

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

And thank God, the story is of secondary importance, and that's how it should be. After all, we are talking about DOOM and not an interactive movie (how many games are built nowadays). DOOM has been built with a lot of passion and it shows from the very first second. The soundtrack is awesome! A mix of rock, metal and industrial sounds. Pure perfection. Really hard and dark. There is no other soundtrack that would fit better. So many details and thoughtful secrets. 100% replay value! I for one would like to find all the "secret areas", because this is another reason why I find DOOM great. These "secret areas" are from the very first DOOM levels of 1993 (including original textures). Pure nostalgia!
