    Doom 2016 for Switch is a masterful port and proves that with enough love and care any game can be ported to Switch. The Game itself is easily one of the best shooters I've ever played.

The game follows the same extreme bada** elements from the original series and spices it up with awesome metal music and great enemy design!… Expand

    It's just awesome being able to play a frenetic fps on the go, don't review this for the graphics only but for the fun it provides on a portable device. The game is not a 10 but the fact the they made it to switch deserves respect. May other AAA games comes to the switch.

Ive probably logged over 50 hours, playing online, arcade mode and replaying the story. I was thoroughly impressed back in 2017, and playing it just a couple weeks ago was still just as impressed. They released a couple of patches to make the menus look better in docked mode and to clean up performance some. It runs good for being on a freakin' tablet! I will say, I own multiple versions of this and obviously recommend the higher quality versions, but if Switch is your primary console, or you just want this game on the go, get it! You dont need to think twice. Hell, get it as a collector, because, who would have dreamed Doom would return to a Nintendo platform 20 years later?? Don't get me started on the soundtrack..I watched the 2 hour making of by Mick Gordon, (god he's amazing), this soundtrack is part of my everyday playlist. At least one song plays every day, my favorite track being "Mastermind" that track gives me the best chills playing on my badass home theatre system. … Expand

    I already gave up playing shooters because all are like "hide behind a stone and heal". Not with doom cause medipacks, armor and reflexes are needed here.
    And I have really less spare time with 3 children. So, all I want is to play and this version fits all my needs and makes a lot of fun.

    Ich habe das Spiel schon gemeinsam mit meine Bruder am PC gespielt - es hat ne Menge Spaß gemacht, vor allem in Kombination mit Bier. Jetzt, 1 Jahr danach habe ich es mir auf der Switch gekauft. Und nachdem ich erst jetzt den Mulitplayer-Modus spiele macht es mir sogar mehr Spaß als früher. Endlich mal wieder ein Shooter wo man nicht hinter nem Stein geheilt wird, weil man dumm in der Gegend rumsteht. Meine Zeit als 3facher Familienvater ist begrenzt und wenn die Kinder-Horde mal endlich schläft möchte ich etwas Unterhaltung. Und genau darum gebe ich DOOM 10 Punkte.    … Expand

    I had the game up on a shelf since I bought it and now, with this patch, I can finally play the game properly. I've been playing it for 2 days straight now. I can't tell you how fun this (simple) shooting/smashing game can be and to have this on a portable device is just perfect.

    Old review:
    First shooter game on Switch without gyro aiming. It think that for 60$ for an old game that you can get for 15$ on other platforms would pay more than enough for a small update to add this feature. This makes me shoot all over the place, waste ammo and levels take twice as much to clear. I have games on the DS that have gyro aiming, wth !? I got used to it using gyro on Steam controllers and all the other shooting games on the switch, it's just annoying for me to know that I could do way better with the gyro. I just can't seem to play the game for more than 20 min without getting angry. Bethesda, update the game and activate the freaking gyro. I play games to have fun, not to get angry. For me it's almost unplayable without the gyro. It might be a 10/10 game, but not on the switch, not without gyro. 30FPS is more than enough and It looks good.    … Expand

    Doom is probably my favorite fps game ever made, there's nothing to complain about as it does a fantastic job of not taking itself seriously and just focusing on the gameplay. The switch port looks great still even though its massively downscaled and runs at half the framerate of the other console versions and it still controls well in handheld.

    This game is true to the Doom franchise. Somehow killing Demons in space is just always exciting. Oh and it's portable; bonus!

    The game play is fast paced most of the time. Battles are engaging and challenging. The music is excellent and is there when it should be and isn't there when it shouldn't be. Weapon progression feels right.

    My first experience with doom. The physical copy was very hard to find. I love it, so many different monsters and weapons to advance your play style. Constant action and love the added bonus of trials.

    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 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.

Admitable TV docked mode doesn't look as good the portable mode, but still it looks decent on a larger screen. However, if you always play at a TV or monitor i recommend getting another version, but if you do switch between the two modes then you should get this version. Frame rates issues were a struggle in previous versions, but a recent update has fixed this... mostly. The game now only struggles with frame rate in arcade mode on the highest difficulties. Either way, this is a successful port. It proves anything is possible and will always provide you with hours of fun. 9/10… Expand

    Doom for the switch defies the stigma of portable gaming. Up until now the idea of a fast paced, screen full of frenzy on a portable device would be something most wouldn't believe. But Doom defies that and although there are some limitations, it is a HELL of a good time. The questions everyone has is; does look, run, and feel the same as the console generation. For the most part yes. Sure the visuals can a bit blurry but this is a taxing game. There is a lot going on and it all happens quick. Gameplay wise you can expect that same fast hellish gunplay. If your new to this version of Doom I highly recommend giving it a shot. Campaign, Multiplayer, and challenge modes give players more then enough to chew. My biggest recommendation would be to utilize the Pro Controller as this game is extremely demanding and the joy cons wont give you that sense of comfort when dealing with hoards at an alarming rate. Overall, Switch owners should be very pleased with what Doom brings to the table and be optimistic for what this means for other big name games and developers.    … Expand

    This port (along with Skyrim and the upcoming Wolfenstein 2) opens so many doors, legitimizing the Switch as a real console to developers that will now think twice before skipping a Nintendo version. The Switch can run fully-fledged games in both docked and handheld mode, better than a lot of people's computers can. If all it takes is slight technical downgrades to port a game to the Switch, the answer is "yes please". Hats off to Bethesda for having faith in Nintendo's system, this is a triumph.

    Doom doing what Doom does best. Run & gun and highly entertaining. Thoroughly enjoyed the playthrough and the game is long enough to keep entertained for a while. Large levels mean they will keep you entertained and with regular checkpoints, it doesn't become too cumbersome repeating the same areas over and over if death occurs.

The port is as good as one can realistically expect of a game that was so demanding on PC and the base PS4 and XboxOne, with PanicButton having pulled out all sorts of rabbits from all sorts of places to present a very faithful version of the original. The most noticeable difference for those who have already played the original is that the framerate is slashed form 60 to 30 fps, obviously this means you won't get the same silky smooth gameplay you would on the other platforms, but the good news is that the 30fps on Switch are pretty damn consistent and the gameplay is still as fun as ever with only a few very specific spots in the game causing some very noticeable frame drops and slowdowns. Outside of the fps drop, many of the textures have been downgraded and the resolution has been lowered, though on handheld the corner-cutting in these areas is a lot less noticeable and the overall effect is a version of Doom that does a fantastic job of looking and playing very close to the og versions. With fantastic level and enemy encounter design, great pacing with some exploration and item collection thrown in to pepper the phenomenal core combat, one of the best most original soundtracks in a long time, portability, and 100s of hours of gameplay for those wanting to chase high scores and replay on the highest difficulty settings, this game is an absolute classic. Add in the fact the physical version is somewhat rare with fantastic cover art different from the other versions, and on top of a fantastic game you are probably talking about a future valuable collection piece, so if you have the chance to buy it physical definitely go for it, though regardless of how you buy this game, the one certainty is that if you own a Switch and have any interest in action games or shooters, this game is a must buy.… Expand

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.

I love DOOM's fluidity and brutal sense of humor. Something as simple as shoving a demon's foot down its throat is both awesome and hilarious - and it never gets old (at least not yet).

    My only real issue with the game is that there were a few parts where I'd get lost. This could be in part because the objective-guider HUD is super tiny in handheld mode (and the map menu is kind of rigid and confusing to figure out). My only issue with the port is that there's this annoying glitch that makes menus impossible to navigate with your D-pad and left toggle. It's only occurred once for me - and the fix is as simple as restarting your system - but it's still something that should be looked into and patched.    … Expand

    Not the best version of Doom, but it's still a serviceable port. Just be prepared to get use to 30FPS speed, it takes a bit use to. Still a solid game and works better as a portable title.

    Playing Doom for the first time on the Nintendo Switch, didn't get to play it last year when it came out, and I'm very impressed with how it has been ported. I guess people who have played other versions of it mentioned the downgrade in textures and resolutions, though as somebody walking into it unblighted by other versions, it is still a great looking game.

I guess people who have played other versions of it mentioned the downgrade in textures and resolutions, though as somebody walking into it unblighted by other versions, it is still a great looking game. I did come across uncommon frame rate dips when during sequences with a lot of particles and lighting effects while hoards of demons were attacking me, but only in those few arenas where there were a lot of particle effects. I've also heard complaints about how playing in handheld mode is difficult because the joy cons are fairly small, though I have fairly small hands, so it worked extremely well for me, I even preferred playing it on the go, but if you have larger hands, you might have the same trouble I've heard other people had.… Expand

    This game is great. I have it on PC too but I never progressed very far so got it on Switch because I just found myself playing there more due to time constraints. The port really is impressive. There is the graphic sacrifice, it's generally not noticeable but sometimes you do see textures taking a bit of time to fully render. That said it really keeps the spirit of the game and I hadThis game is great.

    Let's be honest here. This is the worst looking DOOM 2016 variant. We all know it, and need to acknowledge it. Also, it doesn't matter at all, because to my awe and astonishment, DOOM on Switch runs surprisingly smooth vast majority of the time, and the graphical downgrade is made in such a way, that it doesn't distract you from what makes DOOM such a splendid game - G(l)orious Fun.

It's always, ALWAYS fun to pack some shrieking demons full of bullets or wrench their heads off with your bare hands.

    And Switch version might be the suckiest when it comes to the visuals, but no other version allows me to pack this game with me /everywhere/. I can and I am slaying demons every morning on my daily tram commute to work. I just sit there for 20 minutes, headphones on, killing them by the dozen.

    Holy **** wholesome slaughter always within your reach is a dream come true.    … Expand

    DOOM has made it's way to the beloved semi-portable Nintendo switch console and it is a blast to play.

    It's fast paced demon destroying good old doom with its amazing soundtrack at 30FPS and slightly lower graphics than the PC and PS4/Xbox1 versions. it runs pretty well on the switch but does have a few hiccups in some of the more densely packed parts of the singleplayer campaign,    DOOM has made it's way to the beloved semi-portable Nintendo switch console and it is a blast to play.

    it runs pretty well on the switch but does have a few hiccups in some of the more densely packed parts of the singleplayer campaign, still not that much of a bother. the fact that you can take this amazing game on the go is just mind-blowing to me and I personally think the full price of the game is worth it, however if you have played this before or have a different system I would like to remind you that it's there, looks slightly better and has a cheaper price tag.

    I only recommend picking it up on the switch if you have not played it before, don't have access to another console version of the game or if you want some portable demon destruction on your system

    having said all of that this gets a big old solid 8.4 from me for the fun it provides and the sensation of absolute badassery it gives you when you rip demons in half with your bare hands    … 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.
