    The most metal and amazing fps i've ever played, and I suck at fps. Does a great job at making you really feel like the doom slayer, mythical slayer of demons.

    Graphically the best looking Game in the Console Most Likely. I'm talking so good that it doesn't even look like a Game the Switch can handle yet here it is. Runs very Smooth, Controls Excellently, and is Great Fun. For those looking for a Great FPS Campaign to play on Switch this is the best there is. The Visuals again though, my god, it looks like I'm playing a PlayStation 4 Title inGraphically the best looking Game in the Console Most Likely.

The Visuals again though, my god, it looks like I'm playing a PlayStation 4 Title in Switch, I don't know how they done it but they have. only downfall is you'll want a large Micro SD Card for this Game's File Size. It's Worth it in my opinion though. Expand

    Great game. I play this often although its been out for a few years, i still have a blast with the Switch Version. On the go or docked it plays nice and smooth. Hard to believe its on a Hybrid system looking as good as it does (a tiny bit of blur in some spots). Panic Button nailed it. Great job guys

    This port by Panic Button is almost flawless. Bummer that SnapMap has been cut from this version. Gyro controls are awesome to the point they can rival mouse and keyboard.

    HELL. YES!
    While the graphics are downgraded for the Switch, it doesn't matter. The graphics are fine on the small screen and it plays perfectly. Having a handheld version of Doom is 100% worth it!

    De los mejores juegos que he jugado en switch, la sensibilidad llega a molestar. Las secciones de exploración se solapan muy bien con los tiros. No se olvida de su objetivo, pum pum. Simplemente maravilloso y desestresante

    This game is incredibly impressive to play on the Switch. Panic Button did well with this port. Despite the quality and the fps downgraded, it still retained what made this game fun to play. I wish Panic Button would port more of Bethesda's bigger titles.

    The game, the legend, the miracle.
    The first of a great list of impossible ports. It's the Doom 2016 experience to go. Feels great to play it whenever and wherever you want, it runs at satisfying 30 fps and looks also good with the appropiate sacrifices in textures

Esse jogo só não é um fps nota 10, porque a história não é algo tão incrível, já que você tem que pegar coletáveis no mapa que te contaram os acontecimentos antes do jogo, mas não é um ponto tão ruim, só algo que pode atrapalhar alguém que pegue o jogo achando que vai ser uma super narrativa, não tem uma história espetacular, mas é aceitável. Talvez tive problemas com FPS em algum momento do jogo, mas não foi algo que estraga a experiência ou nada do tipo. Recomendo pra um público que não se importa com gore, já que tem muito desmantelamento, e cenas viscerais, e pra quem gosta de um bom jogo FPS. Expand

    This is the game I was expecting back in November. Now I can finally recommend DOOM to friends without having to append a mountain of caveats! [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 74]

    Technically this port is so impressive that sometimes it’s hard to believe it actually exists. It’s the game itself that I have some issues with, as in my opinion its campaign is encumbered by elements that sometimes unnecessarily slow down Doom’s fantastic pace. [01/2018, p.53]

    It’s not a perfect port. For those looking to play DOOM purely on the big screen, the Switch version’s janky visuals make it difficult to recommend. Yet, if you’re looking for a portable version of one of the best shooters in recent memory, DOOM thoroughly deserves to be the blood-soaked outlier lurking in your Switch library.
