    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O jogo complementa muito ao de 2016, você não precisa jogar o anterior pra entender esse, mas existem pequenos Ester eggs em alguns momentos do jogo, o traje preator original, um boneco do Slayer referente ao jogo antigo, e até mesmo uma referência aos jogos mais antigos, na fase super ninho de sangue, que tem um personagem empalado em uma sala fechada, que precisa prestar bastante atenção pra ver. Esse jogo melhora muitas coisas, como os upgrades das armas, o traje do Slayer, que está maus bonito(na minha opinião) e mais úteis, as granadas desse jogo são mais úteis, tem a lâmina embutida na luva do traje, que deixa as execuções gloriosas muito mais viscerais, e claro, tem armaduras diversificadas. Porem tenho algo a dizer, os gráficos desse jogo, são muito Bonitos, mas a ambientação do anterior é muito melhor, algo mais dark e tenebroso, esse ficou muito colorido em algumas partes, e graficamente me pareceu inferior, e teve um downgrade no design de alguns demônios como o insepulto, mancubus, barão do inferno, entre outros, me pareceram menos assustadores, antes era todo ensanguentada macabro, depois ficou algo bem mais leve, outro problema foi a queda de frame, em alguns momentos foram bem visíveis, mas não foi algo que atrapalhou tanto. A dificuldade é algo que foi facilitada, não é tão difícil quanto o anterior nos modos mais difíceis, nem tem um Boss que consiga bater de frente com o cyber demon, são difíceis apenas na primeira vez, e depois fica algo fácil, o Boss do Coliseu por exemplo, demorei pra passar dele na primeira vez jogando no pesadelo, mas depois, foi bem mais fácil, coisa de 10 minutos no máximo. A trilha sonora do jogo é nota 10, sem comentários, perfeita. Aumentaram a quantidade de inimigos, adicionaram um sistema de abilidades melhores na minha opinião, e adicionou algumas armas muito interessante, a unmayker, foi tirada de um jogo mais antigo ( do Doom 64 se não me falha a memória) o crisol, foi uma arma criada pra esse jogo, apareceu no anterior, mas não era um item disponível pra uso, só tinha uma cutscene final, onde o Samuel hyden tira o crisol do Slayer, nesse jogo tem como usar, o crisol porem oque aparece no anterior é usado como fonte de energia pra base espacial do Slayer, então você arranca o crisol de um titã, deixando só a lâmina cravada nele, foi uma arma interessante pra usar contra inimigos mais forte, como tirano, barão do inferno, entre outros, tem também o martelo que você consegue na DLC ou jogando o modo horda, é facilmente uma das armas mais legais de joga, dá dano em área e deixa os inimigos meio desnorteados, foram adições ótimas, e que deixaram a gameplay bem mais diversificadas. O jogo é ótimo, mas peça em alguns quesitos que já citei anteriormente, com framerate, Bosses e design de demônios, não é algo que deixe a experiência horrível, na verdade não são tão relevantes assim, é uma ótima continuação mas não supera o jogo anterior, tem novas adições que deixam o jogo mais divertido e diversificado, e no geral é um ótimo jogo!!!… Expand

    But I couldn't resist Eternal on sale. It's such a good evolution of Doom. From Doom 1 where you couldn't even jump, all the way to Doom 3 with the annoying flashlight, they were all really simplistic compared to this. The level of movement is amazing. As for combat, it's challenging (for me at least). But it's not stupid challenging. Sure, I'm playing easiest because I'vr made piece with my FPS dissability. I die a lot and that's ok.

    And come on. Who hasn't wanted to play as a demon? It's just so much fun.    … Expand

    Игра вылетает постоянно...
    Левел дизайн слабенький, зачем столько прыжков сделали не понятно... Бои скучные не мясистые... Нудная тема с секретами, которые за 3 печень вовсе не секреты... Куча тупых моментов, где на меленькой платформе нападают два кекадемона, зачем? для кого? Но жизнь моментально выбивают, если играешь не как усатая девочка на средне или хард    Короче отстой какой то...

    Doom Eternal is a great switch game. Arguably the best game for children. I highly recommend it.

    I am here to debunk moronic claims that enemies can only be killed with 1 tactic or way in this game. Its obvious this people never bothered to experiment, think, and just assumed that the optional combat suggestions which can disabled in the menus are the only tactics in the game. The points are mad hypocritical because boss fights in the previous where not just brainless shootingI am here to debunk moronic claims that enemies can only be killed with 1 tactic or way in this game. Its obvious this people never bothered to experiment, think, and just assumed that the optional combat suggestions which can disabled in the menus are the only tactics in the game. The points are mad hypocritical because boss fights in the previous where not just brainless shooting galleries. Hell Guards Boss Fight had shields/projectile blocking moves and Spider Mastermind guns did very little damage unless you targeted the brain. The Khan Maykr point is makes zero sense. They are weak to every gun in the game. The previous game bosses required you to glory them to move onto next boss phase.

    DOOM Hunter can be killed in many different ways. Yes his upper body armor shields are weak to plasma rifle but you don't have to use plasma rifle. Their sled is weak to every gun in the game, grenades, freeze grenades and blood punch.

    Gladiator - Gladiator boss fight is a mix of Hell Guards/Cyberdemon. You can go around his shield by dashing/meathook. If you do want to parry them you can damage multiple by not going for the melee attack and just blast bullets onto them. His second phase has no shield apart from the deflecting move and he you can use any gun want on them.

    Marauders - They can be damaged by sticky grenades and rockets behind their shields. You can also BFG them but they need to stunned first and you have to switch to BFG quickly.

    Cacodemons - can be quickly killed by 1 lock-on rocket blast, chaingun mobile turret kills them in 3 seconds, ballista than meathook shotgun, 1 charged Arbalest ballista shot and 1 destroyer blade shot.

    Shield guys - are weak rockets behind shield, combat shotgun sticky nades behind shield, freeze nades, regular grenades, 1 chainsaw fuel, meathook stuns them to drop shield and 1 destroyer blade shot.

    Arachnotrons - can be killed quickly without targeting the weakpoint. 2 close range supershotgun blasts kill them, 1 lock-on rocket blast puts them in glory kill state, a drop grenade and use Autoshotgun mod, a freeze grenade and use Autoshotgun mod, mobile turret to the body kills them in seconds, micromissles to the body etc..    … Expand

    This game is good. it has realistic and accurate physics in fighting, and is very satisfying to beat on harder difficulties. the unique AI in the game is like no other in FPS games. This is a very creative game in my opinion.

    Atmospheric and brutal, id Software has achieved an admirable result in gracing the Switch with the gore of Doom Eternal. Prepare to be challenged. [Issue #3, p. 51]

    I have no idea how Panic Button managed to cram one of the most spectacular action games into Nintendo Switch. It’s an amazing achievement, but of course it came with a price – the game runs smoothly enough at 30 fps, but looks ugly, and playing it with the Joy-Cons is a nightmare. I highly recommend using the Pro Controller, or better still, experiencing this terrific shooter on another platform. [02/2021, p.54]

    Doom Eternal is decent on the Switch and is a great game overall even with its issues. If you must play this game on the Switch, then be aware of what you are getting. If you can get it on another platform, I suggest you do that.
