    This is a must get game and I can't undersatnd how some of these reviews by critics are so low?    … Expand

    This game is abnormally epic. It is plainly obvious that Bethesda put their heart and soul into perfecting this game. From the moment I started it, I couldn't put it down. Graphics are beautiful. Gameplay is silky smooth, and tons of new ways to wreck face. Not to mention all the secrets and Easter eggs. I will have no life for a while because I will be playing this bad boy. Well done Bethesda!

    Addicted to this kind of game play.... I love fast action games like this, obviously like other kinds of games. But for a fast paced shooter this is fantastic. Really loving the single player campaign!

    GLORIOUS DOOM is BACK!
    And i am loving every second & kill
    Game runs amazingly fluid on my mediocre PC... it looks amazing even on Low!!
    My gtx 560Ti can run it fairly good on high...it feels fast...fun...no time to loose!
    Pure adrenaline rush & pure DOOM feelling!
    Totally recommend it! :)

Then there's the snap map editor, which feels a bit limited but has already spawned a number of creative fun levels for boh solo and coop play. The multiplayer feels a bit unbalanced at times but I still enjoy it, it's sort of a mix of halo and unreal tournament, rather or not you the reader will enjoy it depends on your feelings for those games. I highly suggest this game and the only thing I'd advice to be weary of is buying it for solely the multiplayer.… Expand

But the Devil's a back-stabbing prick and Mars' UAC facility is now a blood-soaked den of evil. Demons and undead fiends stalk the formerly pristine hallways while the greater envoys of Hell plan to expand their territory and engulf the solar system in blood and despair. However, the demons aren't the deadliest thing roaming Mars. Driven by the oldest, purest hate but sporting an arsenal of devastating futuristic weaponry, Doomguy returns to show both the demons and the FPS genre how to do **** right. Forget about deliberate pacing, regenerating shields, or cover-based combat; everything here is a hyper-kinetic orgy of gore, guns, and unparalleled badassness. Unfortunately, Doomguy's staggering speed and prowess occasionally results in enemies getting left too far in the dust and breaking the pace of the combat. You'll zip through battle blowing apart demons so fast that you'll often be left waiting for the game to catch up and spawn more enemies. It also doesn't help that the game relies a little too much on combat arenas that lock you in a location and don't let you progress until you've wiped out several cumbersome waves of enemies. When these arenas are large enough, and most of them are, then this isn't a problem. But it definitely is a large blow against a modern game with old-school stylings to allow itself to become too formulaic, regardless of how exhilarating it all is. Thankfully, everything outside of the combat measures up amazingly well. The level design is slick, atmospheric, and always allows a lot of room for exploration which is necessary if you want to find the excellent weapon mods and power-ups which add a significant boost to the already exciting combat. Guiding the action is a surprisingly well-written story about betrayal and revenge which never impedes the gameplay and gives both Doomguy and the player the perfect motivation for wanting to plunge headlong into a fray of demons with a roaring chainsaw.

Roughly 4-5 hours of campaign n the rest I have been digging into multi and snap mode. as for the campaign mode the game is generally a re-imagined version of old dooms. There are not any horror aspects into it, no dark rooms, no flash lights whatsoever and generally there is no trace of doom 3 visible in solo experience. This can be a good thing or a bad thing based on your own preferences. The single player mode is basically within the idea of kill and proceed. It starts very slow in early levels and it goes beyond your expectations in terms of its speed and pace in future levels. the action is awesome and you can feel the survival in it. The glory kills are nice addition to the game as well and they are totally optional. The additional violence in comparison to doom 3 is a welcome feature which adds more excitement and breath taking moments . Each level has a good area design in terms of depth and size and it is designed in a way that you can hover around and battle with demons based on your strategies. Fortunately loading are short enough and check points and reasonable as well. There are explorations involved in the levels as well if you interested to go after secrets and collectibles. Another nice addition is guns and the variety of upgrades available for them as well as you suit. The upgrade tokens can be earned through given challenged in each level which is a very nice addition to the game-play and you can feel how powerful you slowly become through out the campaign mode. as for always demon designs and boss fights are amazing as they have always been. In terms of visual, PS4 version has a smooth 60fps performance, visuals are good but they are not anything beyond "good" . based on the level of difficulty the single player can take anywhere from 8 to 13 hours.
    The second part is multiplayer. Perhaps its the biggest let down because it has no addition and innovation in comparison to other games. HAving demon mode its a nice addition to overall pace of the game but its nothing spectacular. modes are pretty standards, map are OK and enough, tones of untouchables as well. at this stage provided that it might become boring after a while i am not sure going for season pass is a good idea !
    Next stop is snapmode which i believe many have been waiting for. sadly it comes wit so much disappointment and lack of variety in it. one thing is that you can make hell levels which is a huge disappointment. but there is actually enough depth within its limits in order to build things and download them from the share hub (does not requires ps plus unless u wanna connect and coop or share your maps) and extend your solo experience. But obviously we have 2 wait for more than 1-2 week to see true potential of the snap mode based on user created maps.
    Overall i can say DOOM package worth your money if you are into a complete action packed game. But if you have been waiting a true sequel to doom 3 then i suggest perhaps wait a bit for game to become cheap enough !    … Expand

DOOM is everything I want in a FPS game. It is fast paced, challenging, and just pure chaotic fun. Even on Normal difficulty, there were times where, I'm not ashamed to say, I died and would have to be a little bit more strategic concerning when to pick up armor, health, or power-up abilities that are placed around the map in order to win the battle. The weapon upgrade system puts a fun twist on the game, making it a challenge to master all of the weapons abilities before the end of the game. The multiplayer is classic arena gameplay, bringing back the classic fast paced action that so many arena style players have been begging for. If you like the multiplayer from the old Halo games , I would definitely give this a try. The multiplayer needs an actual leaderboard system, but other than that it is pretty solid. This game is a fresh breathe of air into the kind of stale and repetitive FPS genre. Whether it be collecting hidden collectables, mastering your weapon's abilities, and kicking trash on single player with intense glory kills, or kicking it back and playing a casual game of chaotic arena style multiplayer, DOOM is a game I am going to see myself playing for a long time.… Expand

Unless I am completely addicted looking at you bloodborne . I like to think things over let the review marinate and really think about it . I'm older I'm married and I have children I have a crazy job etc as I'm sure most of us do . I'll sit down with a title a couple of hours at a time and start to form my review . Also if you've read any of my reviews I'm an old guy compared to you whippersnappers so I like to give my personal experience and backstory with storied franchises . This may come off as fanboyism but all I'm trying to do is convey how special a title is if it is still relevant today . Games mean different things to different people as well as the memories associated with them .

    In 1985 we lived on the south side of Chicago I quickly became friends with the kid across the street and we quickly became best friends . He also introduced me to the wonderful world of gaming . In 1992 my buddy moved to the suburbs . Not really that far but when you're a kid ..... Anyway once in awhile I would still go over to his house and we'd hang out play games whatever . In 1993 I went to visit and in his room he had a gateway pc with sound card and shareware version of something called doom . Now being used to new and sega consoles this was my first experience with both a pc and a pc game .

    I was wowed the sound the enemies the guns and the gore and the environment . It was total sensory overload for me and blew me away . I loved the game as well as doom 2 and final doom . This game is the daddy of all first person shooters yes wolfenstein came before it but this was the one that captivated kids parents clergy and politicians alike there was simply nothing else like it and there wouldn't be for a long time until last Friday .

    Upon booting up the game and selecting nightmare difficulty I was tossed into the fray . Within 10 seconds I was in combat strafing running and wait just what the hell is this jumping ?. I felt a little turned off . I ran through the first 3 maps using only a measly handgun . I was starting to lose faith it just didn't feel like doom . Then it all clicked for me . I started getting those old feelings again and adapted my playstyle accordingly . Next thing I know I'm surrounded by a multitude of demons all pining for my marine flesh or to turn my spleen into a sock puppet . The weapons start booming the music kicks in and the death rattles echo .

    Make know mistake doom is dumb . There's no social commentary about violence or religion or child soldiers . Nope just shotguns and putting a moonroof in some big baddies face . Run kill demons rinse and repeat . I have heard this game called smart . Not a word I would use to describe gameplay but in terms of design ?. Doom is a Rhodes Scholar . I admit I was worried but the designers did their homework . From enemies to weapons to movement this is doom . Then when you discover things like the classic doom maps hidden within levels just sends the nostalgia factor through the roof . Most people grin when they see the bfg . Not me I grin when after 20 years I'm seeing the very best old doom levels and just how much they impacted game design . Dooms level design to designers is like Casablanca ro film buffs it's just timeless and totally relevant even today .

    Doom could have did the stupid thing and tried to reinvent the wheel . Nope they took everything that made doom great giving it a modern aesthetic while still retaining its classic roots . Doom isn't willing to compromise its vision of what they want this franchise to be and that is so rare and refreshing in this day . The sound level design enemies and weapon animations are fantastic . I'm not a frames per second stickler and quite frankly I'd prefer that it run just a little slower so that my ps4 doesn't do its best imitation of a f-18 leaving the flight deck of an aircraft carrier . It's smooth fast and it rarely stutters but it will send your fan into overdrive . Playing in a 60 degree room with 2 fans cooking the console I could still hear the fan OVER a turtle beach headset so I wouldn't reccomend extended play sessions . None of that takes away from the game though .

    Id could have played it safe and made this a game full of modern concessions . The glory kills for example highlight enemies in a blue orangeish hue after they have been staggered . This prompts you to preform a brutal melee glory kill that also replenishes health and sometimes ammo . In short this is the doom you've been waiting for . Oh and my best friend ?. Lives across the street again and tonight we are going to Slay some demons just like in 93 . Funny how things come full circle isn't it ?.    … Expand

    It's Serious Doom, and that's not a bad thing. It's similar to Serious Sam 3 in a lot of ways, including the melee system and how alt fire works on the weapons. Gameplay follows Sam's formula, walk into an area and trigger the monsters, there are usually a few already there, but more teleport into the fight in waves as you fight. Once an area is cleared, you stock up on health and ammo andIt's Serious Doom, and that's not a bad thing.

Gameplay follows Sam's formula, walk into an area and trigger the monsters, there are usually a few already there, but more teleport into the fight in waves as you fight. Once an area is cleared, you stock up on health and ammo and move on to the next.

    It's not quite the same, melee is the primary means of healing as it results in health drops. You do need to shoot most enemies to weaken them before you can do this. Traversal is also a bigger element here than it is in Sam.

    It also takes elements of Brutal Doom and mixes them into the formula. It's quite gory and the kills are quite a spectacle.

    The result is a fast and fun old school style shooter with Doom 3 style visuals that are newer and shinier. Single player alone is well worth the price of admission.

    Plus there's a Little Big Planet style map editor system called Snap Map that will give plenty of replay once you tire of the campaign. Users can create both single and multiplayer maps, so regardless of your preference you'll have tons to do after you've escaped Hell in the campaign.

    Haven't messed with the MP, but I've heard it's similar to Quake and UT. I'm not a MP guy and don't care much, the rest of the game is more than enough to satisfy me.

    After finishing the game, I finally get why this is named DOOM and not Doom 4.
    Because this is Doom at its core, its more Doom than anything in existence. Hard as nails, with great soundtrack and even greater gameplay full of awesome maps, demons, speed, secrets and a hell of fun, this is DOOM, and this is the best fps experience I've ever had.

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

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

    Doom doesn't waste time by trying to explain why you're doing what you're doing I was blasting demons within minutes. It's gun play is addicting, satisfying and fantastic. Probably the best shooters I have played...ever and I am a big FPS fan.

    I missed out on doom 3 but I have played it here and there and I can tell why some did not like it. I did enjoy what I played though but this game is way different. It's pretty much a middle finger to doom 3. It's gory and glorious. Sometimes you just want to plop down and shoot stuff and this is the best way to do so.

    I recommend playing with headphones and in the dark. I have a smart LED light and I been playing with the light in a red color which just adds to the atmosphere.

    Pick this game up if you're a fan of the FPS genre and remember paying FPS games before confusing stories and cut scenes. The best thing about this is it does let you explore and you should. The gameplay is so fast that it's hard to step back and appreciate the work Id did on this but I encourage it.

    Awesome game, deffinitly was a suprised when I tried the demo. They did everything right, but the online multiplayer isn't the best. But you don't play Doom for the multiplayer, you play it to kill hordes of demons like a marathon runner jacked up on steroids and meth. NO RELOADS! In the end you will feel like such a bad ass, very worth it.

I found myself getting lost in the world and repeating "One more area, okay just one more" as I traversed the depths of hell, sniping, shotgunning and of course, chainsawing. Dooms remaster is a prime example of how a FPS in 2016/17 should be. Fantastic graphics and a smooth 60FPS, makes for a satisfying experience.

    Dooms multiplayer is great, modern... but repetitive. It limits itself in that the maps all feel the same, and there isn't that much variation in game modes, and therefore the experience was the same every time. Most of the time in fact it just felt like the campaign but with other players shooting at you as well. Speaking of repetition after a while of gaining equipment and (baring in mind I was playing the hardest difficulty) and killing the same demons in waves to clear areas over and over it does repeat itself slightly, and at times just felt boring.

    With all this being said I found the story of it alright, however for a FPS for this it isn't really that important as it's definitely more focused on acing the shooter aspect of it. It launches you right in with one objective: shoot and kill. Moreover I feel the boss fights of this game were fantastic, grueling and bloody all throughout with interesting mechanics, hard amounts of health and brilliant design they were always new and a joy to play through.

    Overall DOOM was a fun game to play, I wouldn't however go back to it as there are other less repetitive experiences to be had in other games like this, however this does not take away from what an experience doom was. It's reasonably lengthy 12 hour campaign and entertaining multiplayer probably more fit for some than others, you get well worth the price of a now £15 game or lower. A fantastic example of how a FPS should play, nostalgia trip and memorable experience.    … Expand

    First, I want to say "Shut up and take my money".

    Doom is beautiful. Excellent music for battle with demons. How long have there been no games that challenge you. Here, no one will drive you by the handle. There is no shooting range "with advanced" AI.

    Here, health is not restored itself. Yes, this is the same Doom straight from 1994, but in a modern cover.

    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

    Its not a classic shooter in the vein of the original doom, marathon, quake etc. Its a serious sam style arena shooter and I've seen that done better before, the gunplay is rather lackluster, the weapon upgrades just blur the lines between various weapons in a player's inventory, the story is awful and completely at odds with the overall feel of doom's 1, 2 and 64, the survival horrorIts not a classic shooter in the vein of the original doom, marathon, quake etc. Its a serious sam style arena shooter and I've seen that done better before, the gunplay is rather lackluster, the weapon upgrades just blur the lines between various weapons in a player's inventory, the story is awful and completely at odds with the overall feel of doom's 1, 2 and 64, the survival horror elements have been removed and what made doom guy so relatable as a character was that he was a lone marine struggling for survival against hordes of demons and the odds were against him, people who have either not played or did not put the work in to understand the originals will sometimes say otherwise but vulnerability was an essential trait of the doom guy and was an essential part of the first 2 game's overall feel. That Doom guy while he wielded a powerful arsenal of weapons was still very vulnerable was conveyed not only via slower paced tracks in the games soundtracks but also by the gameplay.

    In all the other Doom games, the Marine had to rely on health packs to heal himself, he was not just a psychopathic Demon killing machine who received fuel health via gruesome genocide(glory kills and gibs). This provided a layer of vulnerability to Doom guy and by extension the player because at the end of the day Doom guy is a pretty blank slated character who the player is meant to project himself onto. When you take away player vulnerability you remove and/or simply an element of strategy(health management) and it messes with the overall feel of the game, its rather hard to make a game scary and make players feel as though they are in danger and need to play methodically and exercise extreme caution when you have a health system that rewards you for murder and its also hard to project yourself onto a character whose only goal in life is to commit genocide against the demons who he hates. When a character is vulnerable and wants nothing more than to survive, accomplish his mission, and get out of the unfamiliar demon infested environment that he is in as soon as possible so he can put the whole thing behind him he's a lot more relate-able than a near-invincible psychopath.

    Combine this with the fact that the level design is not like that of a classic 3D maze shooter and is more like that of painkiller, the over-designed weapons, the fact that secrets are not as opinion as they were in the originals because on higher difficulties many of the upgrades WILL be mandatory, the map system that tells you where "secrets" are thereby undermining the very definition of the word, the overdeisgned and sometimes outright ugly weapons with models that take up too much of the screen, the 12 demon limit, the fact that its DRM(Denuvo) makes modding impossible and that snapmap is a lackluster level editor leaving much to be desired, and finally that the multiplayer is complete and utter garbage and you end up with a game that barely broke even because it didn't capture the essence of what its series was supposed to be about. The game may be called Doom but It clearly isn't, a more appropriate name would be Painkiler 2: Halo in Hell Edition. Its not that its a bad game, so much as it just didn't do what it should have done as a reboot(that is to say bring the games design concepts and the games overall feel into the 21st century) which isn't a surprise.

    I'm against reboots in general because their aim is almost always to use the brand recognition of the game that they are rebooting to sell a game that plays nothing like the original and trashes many if not all of its old design philosophies and concepts for new ones(and those new concepts are often objectively worse). They are for the most part, born of ill intentions and this is a fact that we as gamers should always keep in the forefront of our minds.

    I genuinely think this game deserves a 7 or so out of 10, note that that is an above average score, not one you give to bad games, but because I want to counter the huge internet wide circlejerk that obnoxious fanboys who probably watch black men have sex with their wives on a regular basis some of whom I know rate the game 10/10, I'm going to give it a low score.    … Expand

    This is DOOM in 2016, incredible gameplay and had me on the edge of my seat at all times. You aren't held down by story elements, however the story is told to you in such a way that it flows with the demon killing. This game has more content than most these days, and is well worth the $60. Just remember you have a chainsaw!

Other than the recent Wolfenstein games there is nothing that really offers this sort of thing on current consoles and it makes a refreshing change to play a linear FPS that is simply about using big guns to shoot lots of monsters, especially when the gameplay is so solidly put together.

    The only things that lets it down is that the gameplay doesn’t evolve at all from start to finish (other than adding new monsters and weapons) and, as a result, things became really repetitive well before the end of the 12+ hour campaign and I personally would have been much happier had the game come to an end a few hours sooner.    … Expand

    I'm writing a quick review based on my first few hours of gameplay in campaign mode only. If you're thinking about buying this game, maybe this information will help you decide. First, let's cut the crap. This game is not a 9 or 10, nor is it a 1 or 2. I'm giving    This a copy of my review for the PC version.

    I'm writing a quick review based on my first few hours of gameplay in campaign mode only. If you're thinking about buying this game, maybe this information will help you decide.

    First, let's cut the crap. This game is not a 9 or 10, nor is it a 1 or 2. I'm giving it a 7 for the reasons listed below.

    This is a reboot of the original DooM, nothing more and nothing less. If you were expecting something that plays like DooM 3, please adjust your expectations. This game is fast paced, the enemies are numerous, and you must sustain yourself by picking up the ammo and life items the enemies drop when you kill them. Again, just like the original DooM of yore. You also pick up key cards and look for hidden caches. Nothing new here for veterans of DooM.

    If I were to compare this to other games, it is a mix of original DooM, DooM 3 (in the graphics, atmosphere, and sound department) and Space Marine. The combat gives you plenty of choices, but the funnest option is to set up your "Glory kills" with your guns. That is, you stun the enemy with a gun shot, then finish them with your R3 button at closer range. Combat is fluid and it works, in my opinion.

    Here is what the game does not have:
    Aiming down the sights
    Cut scenes
    Very much dialogue

    All of which is a plus for me, not a minus. If you like "cinematic" games like The Last of Us, this game is probably not for you. If you like games like DooM 1 and 2, Half Life, and Metroid, this game is probably for you. I've always considered long dialogues and cut scenes in video games to be a waste of my time. I like the story to be told by exploring the game world and playing the game.

    Whether or not you want to wait for a price drop (or skip this altogether) depends on how much you loved (or did not love) the run and gun style of older shooters.

    Again, I have not dipped my toes into multi player yet. That could alter my review and if it does I'll update this review    … Expand

    Like your mom. HEH, RIGHT?

    Ok. Anyway.

    What I loved: BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM. Satisfying combat. Simplistic upgrade system. Interesting sprinklings of codecs to feed you hints about the background and story. The 'your balls-outyness will be rewarded, my child' pace. Seeing all my favorite demons from my 20s in all of their nexgen upgraded glory. The BFG.

    What I didn't: In staying true to it's Doominess, it's repetitive and shallow. Sometimes it's a grind. But that's Doom, kids. You play Doom because it's Doom. You don't listen to Justin Timberlake hoping for deep-assed Tom Waits-style insights and lyrics, you listen because it's familiar and you know what to expect and it makes you feel good even if you're a little mad because no human being should have a life that good. Seriously, eff Justin Timberlake. But that's Doom, man. It's not The Last Of Us. It's not Silent Hill 2. Hell, when it comes to story, it ain't even L.A. Noire.

    Man, THAT hurt to type.

    But it's a good time. It's just not "worth the full price of admission" good time.

    And a passing mention of the multiplayer: Eh. It's aight. Played 9-10 matches, had a reasonably decent time, didn't feel the urge to go back. Think of a fast-paced-but-sloppy Halo 4.

    So if you can borrow it or get it cheap, seriously, go for it. Oh unless you get queasy easily, like this one friend of mine. Like, if you can't manage the gore in an average episode of Walking Dead, maybe stay away. You poor bastard.    … Expand

    Great graphics, Great gameplay, blood, guns, demons, no story. It is a Doom game. If you are looking for anything else you will be disappointed. Everything is updated for modern times but the original formula is there. Have not tried multiplayer yet, but if it is any good it will be icing on the cake. If you are playing s game for multiplayer try call of duty.

The game is absolutely awesome , you can finish it 2-3-4 times on higher difficulty , get all the challenges done. Bethesda really did a good job with this game. This deserves a 90+ score. Also it has the classic doom maps which are so good on nightmare difficulty.

    Doom is fun. Simply put. At it's core is fast paced combat, strong game play mechanics, and the simple goal of murdering demons before they murder you. The story really falls by the wayside, but that doesn't matter, as it's the shooting and the bloody, visceral combat that's the main draw here. You kill your demonic foes in numerous ways, from close range shot gun blasts, to chainsawing them in half and getting rewarded with more ammo for your many, many guns. There's no reloading, as well - which aids in the flow of combat, allowing you to keep a fast pace as you zip around the large, open arenas, occasionally preforming a glory kill on a hapless hell spawn in order to get your health back up. Coupled with this, there's a large amount of upgrades to help bolster you on your mission; from weapon upgrades, to upgrades for your suit (some, such as the one making you immune to explosive barrels, are somewhat more useful than others), to runes gained from completing challenge arenas. All of it serves to make the game more fun, and a worthwhile venture at any rate.

    Can't recommend highly enough.    … Expand

The AI is stupid, and it's easy AF to not take damage. How you ask? Just keep moving. Seriously, if you just keep running and gunning constantly, then you will never get hit or take any damage at all. . . fml. Because of this, the harder difficulties are not hard at all. The AI doesn't get any smarter or use tactics or strategy of any kind (and hell you don't need to either). All harder difficulties do is turn the enemies into bigger bullet sponges who do more damage, but again, just keep moving and you'll be fine. In other words, all turning up the difficulty setting does is make it take longer to kill things instead of actually making the game harder. The only plus side to this game is that you aren't restricted to just two weapons, a primary and secondary. You can have and switch between all the weapons. Also, you have a self heal via "glory kill" which simply requires you to melee kill an enemy when they flash to get heals. You also have pretty much unlimited ammo in that when you are running low, all you have to do is chainsaw an enemy and out pops ammo for all your weapons. This game is the most casual piece of trash I have seen in a while. Would not recommend even in price drop. Don't bother.… Expand

It's tough to navigate around some of the faster moving demons and the stupid small sections they throw you in to fight them. They should have added sprint and some open area levels to make full use of the weapons because most enemies just rush you all the time.

    Visually it's superb like some of the UAC facility levels, weapons, few enemy designs (revenant, the undead and cacodemon being the only ones that stood out), and slick menu presentation. Loading times are ridiculous. Audio is hit and miss. Sound effects are good but some of the gun sounds and explosions are weak. Had to crank my volume a little bit. They nailed the music which is constantly there sometimes subtlety or full force.

    A sequel or DLC needs to add more variety (Phobos and Deimos?) because it was overall missing something I can't quite put my finger on?

    Nice graphics. Nice gunplay. Boring and nonexistent story. Short duration (around 10 hours).

    It forces you to learn how and when to use each one of the weapons, but you get bored when everything is always the same: more and more bigger enemies in smaller spaces.

Doom is hard on the weak, and pleasure for the hard.
    The downside though, is in Doom:s multiplayer PvP which feels dated to say the least. Naturally, I'm a product of evolution who prefer the 'hide and recover' mechanic of modern shooters, and Doom doesn't have that. You'll need to brush off your old strafing-skills from the nineties again. Because this is Doom. And it doesn't care what you think. I'm gonna end it like that, really, "This is Doom".

    This feels like a very “bare-bones” kind of game.

I feel like they purposely made the game very bare-bones and used the excuse that it’s supposed to play like a game released over twenty years ago. I feel thatThis feels like a very “bare-bones” kind of game. I read through many articles about how the developers were attempting to try to make the game purposely feel like the first Doom game, but I really think it’s willful blindness. Why? I feel like they purposely made the game very bare-bones and used the excuse that it’s supposed to play like a game released over twenty years ago. I feel that the developers could’ve put more effort into it and taken more risks into making a better product.

    The campaign mode is atrocious. I know that, for this kind of shooter genre, one can’t start playing this game and expect a series of movie-like cinematics. But, I don’t feel like there was enough story content. I honestly enjoyed reading through the lore from the datalogs present in the game, but they were very few of them present through the entire campaign.

    The level designs are atrocious in the campaign and is one of the main reasons of the low score. There are secrets to collect and challenges to complete, which add on to the game length, but otherwise most of the levels are very linear. If the level isn’t linear, usually the player will be given a group of objectives that need to be fulfilled, such as shutting off three air purifiers in a set level. The first few levels are pretty fun, but as you progress it begins to feel old quickly.

    I really enjoyed playing through the original Doom when it was first released, but I feel due to the changes in technology, the developers were trying to mimic something that can’t exist in today’s world. I spent probably thousands of hours playing games like Doom, Quake and Half-Life, as well as playing mods that were freely available for the game from aspiring individuals, many of which would later become game developers themselves. Counter-Strike began as a Half-Life mod, and Team Fortress began as a Quake mod. Due to how graphics have increased significantly, game mods with completely new levels are difficult to create. Certain game developers have released kits to help users build mods for their games, but I notice that the creativity isn’t what it was before.

    In this title, it just doesn’t feel like there’s much content anymore. All of the levels in the campaign feel like the developers chose pre-set textures and copied them for all of the levels. None of them actually feel unique to me, even though I’m supposed to feel like I’m exploring a completely different planet. It feels like it’s all procedurally-generated content, even though it’s not. It feels like they outsourced the level design to a different company. It’s a real slog to get through.

    There just aren’t that many secrets in the game. They’re very easy to find if you don’t go straight for the objectives. The multiplayer is fun at first, but after a while it will also become stale. I tried to read through other reviews to see why this game could be well-received, and it appears that you will enjoy this game a lot if you don’t care about fancy level design or fancy cutscenes.

    I personally felt that this game was too minimalist to justify the full price tag. I said previously that the developers didn’t take enough risks. I wouldn’t have minded if it was a little bit minimalist. Yes, choosing to have a minimalist design was indeed a risk they chose, but not a good one, in my opinion. I don’t feel like I’m getting enough gameplay for the price tag of the game when it was released.

    I enjoyed Serious Sam 3 much more than this title. I hate to say it, but this game really feels like a cash grab. It’s certainly a difficult, fast-action shooter, but that’s really all it has going for it. The market is saturated with fast-action shooters, each having different features.

    DOOM, however, really has a lack of features. It just doesn’t feel fun to play. Yes, the graphics are alright and the story, for its intended purpose, gets the job done. But, when I play the game, it just doesn’t feel fun. There are gun modifications and upgrades, but they only affect the gameplay slightly. When there is only a very finite number of enemy types and level choices, the game becomes boring to get through. Competitive matches with randomized opponents is certainly fun as well, but it’s just that it gets boring after a few matches.

    Rather than actually try to take risks and make an interesting game based on the technology we see today, the marketing campaign instead advertises how they’re attempting to go back to their roots. That is certainly respectable, but I honestly wouldn’t have minded trying something fresh and new. As nebulous as it sounds, this game just doesn’t have the magic of its predecessors. What may have been fun over twenty years ago simply doesn’t hold up to today’s standards.    … Expand

    Doom of L.....O.....A.....D.....I.....N....G

    I like this game for what it is, a shooter with oldschool gameplay which is fun. The story is "okeyish" but better than none. It's survival, not horror.

    DOOM is a reboot of the series, with less survival horror elements and more of a focus on the original games. With this change of pace from Doom 3, there is typical action-focused gameplay. The story exists only as a vehicle for the player to move from point A to point B, eliminating various demons and acquiring an objective which allows access to another area.

Regarding this, it's a very predictable story.

    This aspect is the most frustrating of the game, because it is painfully obvious there is wasted potential. For most players, it's not a problem because they simply want to kill more enemies with more guns. And that's most enjoyable about DOOM, it's what will keep players coming back and enjoying the game and will most likely lead to a sequel.

    The multiplayer is the worst part about DOOM. I would have preferred the developers forego multiplayer to focus more on a more diverse campaign. Snapmap is a welcome addition, because the community is fantastic with their originality. Snapmap is a lot more enjoyable than the multiplayer.    … Expand

    Financiers had too much impact in the making of this game. The reviews that are positive do not, like all of the commercially incentivised reviews for new games on Metacritic, acknowledge the corruption of the industry that has taken place.

Doom 3 was no different and was a Resident Evil remake more than a Doom remake. This game has also suffered from consolization.

    DOOM has a slight struggle to find it's own identity. The story delivers exactly what you would expect from an arcade experience. On the other side, DOOM lacks a lot of well beloved features from it's predecessors and has some quickly appearing wear marks of it's own. However, the technical aspect performs well on PC and Consoles and the Multiplayer is fun, but requires some balancing updates.

    BORING. Its probably the worst thing you can say about something that's supposed to entertain but its how I feel about the new Doom.

    This is a game that has no idea what it wants to be. Is it a first person shooter. "Sort of". Is it a role player Half Life style of game. "Kind of". Its this uncomfortable mix of elements that simply don't work well together that make the game so dull.    BORING.

    Doom is supposed to be fast and furious but this game is slowed down significantly by the need to constantly find things be it entrance ways, key cards, etc. You constantly find you are undertaking paquor style antics al la Remember Me.

    Just as annoying is the mods system. It has a horrible counter intuitive interface that demands your time and attention. Its a ghastly thing that again slows down the pace of the game.

    Indeed even the weapons have been bastardized. I can not image why a chainsaw should "run out of ammo". A situation made worse by the constant shortages of ammo, similar to the Stalker series of games.

    Taken together this is a recipe for pure frustration and ultimately disinterest. I played for 30 minutes and had, had more than had enough.

    Yet another title from Bethesda that makes me pine for an updated graphic take on the original games.    … Expand

    The game is alright, but I jus did not find it absorbing enough. It gave me no reason to keep going. The "gore" was cartoonish and lazy also. I ended up trading it for Uncharted 4.
    Thhe series fans may enjoy it more I guess.

This genre is dead for a reason. Room after room, arena after arena, with identical enemies or slight variation thereof. Weapons lack overall impact, and the higher the difficulty the worse it gets. I guess I got it because the reviews were raving, I guess I got it because of the brand and nostalgia, but without a single set-piece, any sort of atmosphere or coherent story-telling, it's a dark-red and brown corridor shoot dude-bro space-marine game with a very short-lived sort of charm. If you're tight on cash, just watch the trailer on repeat for 8 or so hours to get the whole single-player campaign for completely free!… Expand

    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.
