    DOOM 1 has been portable before, but I'll take it on as many systems as I can get. [Issue #42 – October 2019, p. 20]

    Doom's arrival on the wonderful system that is the Nintendo Switch is the perfect opportunity to be reminded of why it's such a fantastic experience despite its age. It's old-school FPS fun at its finest, and now you can carry it's dark corridors and hellish landscapes on the smallest of backpacks. Sadly, while the gameplay has been left intact, this version is far from the perfect port that it could be, due to a couple of odd omissions and changes - but at least it is super cheap (as it should).

    DOOM remains an iconic game that fans of shooters – actually, scratch that, fans of gaming – need to play to this day. This version has a few drawbacks that will no doubt sour the experience for some people, but this is by far the most authentic version of the game on a Nintendo platform so far.

    All genres have a reference and in the FPS genre we have DOOM, a title that offers the essence that has made it a classic game. A very fun and highly recommended shooter that you can enjoy with three more players.

    Given that we’ve only had SNES and GBA versions before, this new Switch port of Doom is the best version ever released on a Nintendo system by a country mile. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect, though: its annoying still-to-be-fixed DRM and its smattering of small technical issues does dampen the entertainment somewhat. That aside, if you’re looking to slay hordes of Hellspawn on the move, there’s no better way.

    I don't understand how the user score is so low. I enjoyed playing Doom on Switch as much as I enjoyed playing it originally. Essentially youI don't understand how the user score is so low. I enjoyed playing Doom on Switch as much as I enjoyed playing it originally. Essentially you get Doom with all expansions and it's portable.

    Having to be connected to the internet is definitely not necessary and if you're not connected having to decline twice is mildly annoying but it happens so infrequently that it didn't detract from my overall experience.    … Full Review »

    Lo descargué después de la actualización que arregla lo del registro de Bethesda (lo cual habría cambiado mucho la nota que le doy).

    En su día fue algo revolucionario pero hoy en día esta primera entrega es algo divertido y curioso que se puede jugar en ratos muertos o mientras se ve una película.

    Yo lo compré estando de descuento a 1,5€ pero realmente, incluso a su precio completo merece la pena.    … Full Review »
