    Between its action-packed campaign and the interesting SnapMap level editor, there’s more here to keep first-person shooter fans occupied than any other game in recent memory, and to put it bluntly, DOOM’s campaign is the most outlandish fun I’ve had with a game up to now during this console generation.

    There's an innocence about DOOM – which might seem like a weird way to describe a game about disemboweling demons – but it beautifully harkens back to an era where games were unashamed to simply be games. I think DOOM might be the most exhilarating experience I've had with a first person shooter on Xbox One, maybe ever.

    Whether you’re a longtime Doom fanatic or a newcomer, you will love Doom. The brutality of past entries is still here and it’s turned up to eleven. The combat is fast-paced and exhilarating, and it embraces itself as a video game and doesn’t try to make itself something it’s not.

    DOOM is back and it’s hellishly good.

    Driven largely by its successful single-player campaign, Doom is a welcome return to form for the genre-defining franchise. By sticking to time-worn traditions in all the right places and deftly employing some modern flourishes, id has rediscovered what made this demon slaying series so successful. Multiplayer and SnapMap don’t reach the same heights, but shooters fans shouldn’t miss this bloodthirsty romp through hell.

    1990s gameplay meets 2010s technology.

    While we won't go anywhere near as far to say that this online facing side of the game is an afterthought, it doesn't carry with it the same sense of intense playtesting and meticulous detail as the solo campaign.

    A modern update of Doom with an amazing story campaign that starts off slow but steadily increases the diversity of the enemies as you moveA modern update of Doom with an amazing story campaign that starts off slow but steadily increases the diversity of the enemies as you move on. Gone is the linear style gameplay that modern games like COD have gotten audiences numb to and is instead replaced with huge levels filled with many secrets. A single map could take you at least an hour to complete on harder difficulties

    The MP while serviceable is largely not as strong as the SP campaign. The reason to get the newest Doom is for the single player and player created content in the Snap Map feature.    … Expand

The controls of the game are really good, the zombies and other bosses are animated amazingly, the gore is brilliant, the guns are designed and function as some of the best I've every used, and the animation cant get any better. some will say that new shooters have made it a bad game but really they take inspiration that was the brilliancy of Doom. Overall this is a shooter that I would recommend.… Expand

Also some of the levels did feel quite similar to one another in terms of the environment. No story but it didn't really need one. Best part of the game was the boss fight with the mechanised demon- the second phase takes place in hell was a very great moment.… Expand

This is just a mindless, overly-fast-paced "dude bro" style shooter. If running around and breezing through enemies is your thing, you'll love this garbage. If you liked the survival horror style of things that Doom 3 provided, then you will be extremely let down by this game.
