    Doom eternal established itself as one of the best FPS games of all time. It has simple-to-understand gameplay, but tough to master. Its Ps5 upgrade brings it to the next level, with more frames per second, upgraded graphics, and much more DOOM.

    The most immersive gaming experience with FPS on PS5. The Dualsense speacking voice grants a marvelous Moment each time. Graphics, gameplay, longevity are above 10...
    Raytracing works perfectly

    This port is pretty excellent game runs extremely smooth. 120 FPS mode is the way to go to experience this masterpiece.

    I have both the PC and PS5 version. Honestly the PS5 version almost as good. The games performance is quite amazing.

    Doom 2016 is one of the greatest games I’ve played and this game over here took that and made it even better with expanded weapon mods to the redesigned enemies it’s great. Brining it to ps5 gave us 4K resolution, 60fps, and ray tracing. This game is great. Also the cosmetics system where the event pass (battlepass) is free and most of the skins are free it’s a great game 10/10 wouldDoom 2016 is one of the greatest games I’ve played and this game over here took that and made it even better with expanded weapon mods to the redesigned enemies it’s great.

    Outstanding game. The best shooter I've ever played. Was skeptical to try this game because I'm not a fan of first person shooter games and tried many but this one is the real deal. Extremely fun even in the intermediate difficulty. The level design also helps because collectibles are useful for upgrading weapons and skills in a relative fast way. Thanks ID software. It deserves a 10

    After completing the campaign, I have to say this is up there as one of my all time favorite games.

    Dude. Why would you not get this game? The movement mechanics allow for so much room to grow, and there's so much for you to experiment with.

    The port on next gen is top notch. Doom Eternal itself is simply fantastic and has love bursting at the seams. The movement is fluid and quickly becomes second nature. The campaign is endlessly charming, its level design pristine, and its plot compelling. Its peaks are sublime and plentiful, and the worst it has to offer is still perfectly competent.

    I haven’t played any of the old games, but I instantly liked it… A LOT! This is so amazingly fun to play. The game runs very smooth and looks absolutely gorgeous, especially with the Ray Tracing setting! I will probably dive deeper into the story in the future, but if you just want to have a blast, shoot, run and jump, this is the game for you.

    Innovador, pero se hace repetitivo, aveces absurdo… creo que doom está perdiendo su esencia… los gráficos excelentes, tiempo de carga prácticamente nulos.. el juego es largo pero repite mucho la misma idea de zonas de pelea más ver las zonas ocultas.

    same fun as Doom 2016 even upped to madness, as far as the action goes, with an equally awesome soundtrack; the problem is long platforming sequences and puzzles that are just not DOOM! I wish they wouldn't cut the fun flow so many times in this game. So I have to side with DOOM 2016 in answering the "Eternal" question: which version is better?!
    still, It's a great game and totally recommended.

    Loved doom 2016. Played eternal a few years ago and gave up because it was too hard, even on easy mode. Got it free with PS Plus so thought I'd give it another try. Managed to finish it this time. And my new conclusion? It's not just good. It's not just great. Rather, it is by far one of the best first person shooters in the history of gaming.

    The game requires a "Bethesda account" even if you only ever want to play single player. I already have a playstation account, thank you very much. I will never register with your shady business.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Doominishing returns. The game starts by bombarding me with advertisements for all the live service elements that have been added since the game launched. A downside of playing a game so far after launch is that I had to see a dozen of these before I could start playing. Few publishers understand that a game is the sun of its entire experience. Of you need to push an on-line store, make that on-like store a desirable experience and not a hostage event.

    The gameplay itself is more of the Doom reboot. I gave the first Doom reboot a 7/10. Not groundbreaking but fun. This sequel is about the same only with more platforming. Maybe it’s my age. I played the original Doom and a lot of shooters in-between then and now. Maybe it’s the low stakes gameplay of this sequel. It feels like more levels of the original Doom remake. Maybe it’s the rut that Bethesda has been in for the last decade.

    The shooting and death animations are fresh. Some of the death animations are a bit comical, like Shadow Warrior 3. Guns look and sound good. Enemies have weak points so you can at least see you are doing damage to them. Arenas are designed to run, jump, and dodge. This isn’t a cover shooter. You can’t slowly plod through this one enemy at a time. Long ago, I rejected the need to git gud. Fortunately, Doom Eternal has a variety of difficulties and accessibility options. These options raises the my score from 6 to 7. The game world is frustrating. We start with Hell on Earth. How intriguing, a Darksiders with guns! But it’s just more hellscapes and gothic fortresses we saw in Doom. There are shades of city streets and subways, but about the time you get the feeling you are on Earth, it’s back to another brutalist hell fortress. The graphics are also lovingly last gen. The go to graphics for hitting 60fps on PS4 and Xbox One was a crisp, cartoony look. This on full display with PS5. At least the enemies look nice and gritty.

    All-in-all, Doom Eternal is a good game. It is both saddled with a tired legacy of gameplay and the exhaustive litany of live service and faux RPG elements that plague modern gaming. For some, this will be their first shooter and they will love it. For me, I have to compare Doom Eternal to the greats like Halo 3. It just doesn’t stand up.    … Expand

Just never ends, but is a problem because it becomes a bit tedious in the later half of the game and remembering to use Fire And Frost and bombs and all the different items gets on my nerve after a while.

    My biggest problem with the game that isn't the boss fights is the items and a very limited ammunition which just gets annoying to have to chainsaw as zombie all the time just to get a bit more armor.

    But the soundtrack visuals are amazing. It's just incredible listening to a watching it all the different kill animation the blood the goal it just keeps on going it never ends. You almost become desensitized to the color red after a while.

    The story feels weird the main guy doesn't say anything in everybody regards him as a killing machine guard a Titan the devil just keeps on going and it's just like look at this simple man. He just wants to kill things that is my way of playing this game. I'm just a little man who keeps on killing.    … Expand

    En mi opinión, el mejor shooter puro de todos los tiempos. Es perfecto.

    Doom Eternal is one of the greatest FPS games of all time and this is no less true with the PS5 update. The various visual modes provide a more tailored experience to those wanting to pick between 4K or framerates, while the myriad of updates over the past year have continued to tweak and improve the core experience considerably. If you haven't played it yet, now is the perfect time to jump in.

    DOOM Eternal on PS5 quite simply underscores the already lofty calibre of one of the best shooters ever with a delectable coat of visual polish which keeps id Software's PlayStation swansong ripping and tearing among the very best of its genre contemporaries.
