    I hear a lot of people call Doom Eternal inflexible, and I don't think that's very fair or accurate, how flexible it is really depends on your pride and your ability to utilize the options that are laid out before you.

    I hear a lot of people call Doom Eternal inflexible, and I don't think that's very fair or accurate, how flexible it is really depends on your pride and your ability to utilize the options that are laid out before you.

    The first time I played through Doom Eternal, I picked Ultra Violence because I thought "yeah I've played Doom before and that's the best Doom difficulty". I also turned off tutorials because from a YouTube review I heard they were frequent and annoying, and I had played so many id software games in the past I was confident in my ability to just pick it up and play it.

    I eventually turned the tutorials back on when I got my ass kicked by the Arachnotron for the 5th time without realizing the turret was a weak point. I didn't wanna miss out on any info like that again, and while I'd say my experience with the game was decently fun after that, I still felt like I was missing something, and like the game wasn't clicking with me.

    I liked the over the top story and bombastic level design that was much more dynamic and varied than Doom 2016, but in terms of combat I always felt like I was a few steps out of pace with Doom Eternal on my first playthrough.

    I think this is mostly due to the fact that the Ultra Violence difficulty is rather unforgiving, and that's not a bad thing, it's just rather demoralizing for beginners at the game who need to learn the mechanics. It's hard to learn those mechanics when you're constantly on edge and constantly at risk of dying due to the fact one wrong move can entirely throw you off, and considering Ultra Violence is most people's go to Doom difficulty I can see how so many people tried it and were instantly turned off, thinking there was something wrong with the game.

    Personally, my biggest problem was I found myself using a lot of the same abilities and weapons to do everything. Everytime I saw a weak point I'd use the heavy cannon scope and only the heavy cannon scope to take it out, never using the sticky bombs, heat blast, ballista, etc.

    I wouldn't use a lot of the new abilities like the blood punch, ice bombs, grenades, etc. It was too overwhelming to think about in the middle of the incredibly heated battles. The things is Doom Eternal is flexible enough to let you play it this way, you can beat it but it's not very fun to do so. But still, I managed to struggle through the game on my first playthrough, constantly on edge and never learning anything, by the time I beat it, I was glad I had but I didn't feel very accomplished. In fact I felt kind of demoralized.

    I leaned later that my greatest mistake was never lowering the difficulty and giving myself more room to breathe. When I finally played the game again a year later, I finally chose Hurt Me Plenty on the difficulty settings because my pride in playing that difficulty had definitely been shattered by that point and I just didn't give a ♥♥♥♥ anymore, wasn't like anyone could see me.

    The thing is Hurt Me Plenty in classic Doom was pitiful, there were way less enemies making levels feel rather empty which leads to it generally being shunned across all Doom game's by the community, but what a lot of people don't know is Hurt Me Plenty in Doom Eternal is just a normal difficulty in any other game, it's the exact same enemy count and placements, just with less damage output and a little bit less punishment for not reacting fast enough.

    When I finally chose HMP, I finally had that room to breathe and it allowed me to get more creative with my playstyle, and just like that the game finally clicked with me. I started using Doomguy's entire arsenal, and learned how to utilize Doom Eternal's mechanics in satisfying ways that made me feel smart for figuring them out, it fully immersed me in it's combat puzzle.

    When I came back to the Ultra Violence difficulty, despite playing on an easier difficulty earlier, I had learned enough from that more easygoing mode that I was finally good at the game, and I managed to beat it in one go in Extra Lives mode, and while it was no Ultra Nightmare playthrough, it's one of the most satisfying experiences I've had in a video game.

    So my recommendation to new players is turn that difficulty down, use those cheat codes, do anything that makes the experience more fun and easygoing and your playstyle will begin to show itself naturally, don't force yourself to go in hard due to pride, this is a very different game than any FPS out there and you just gotta have fun with it. When you do that and fully utilize the options it gives you to tweak the game to your experience, it's not only not inflexible, it's one of the most flexible and fun experiences you can have with an FPS game. id Software knocked it out of the park. As I type this I am currently playing through my first Nightmare playthrough and I can officially say I'm addicted now.

The base game is fantastic with a lot of secrets and parkour puzzles as well as the normal demon dismembering chaos.

    For gods sake you get ammo back by using a chainsaw on your enemies.. how can you get more badass than that? The soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard from any piece of entertainment whether it be a video game/movie/tv show ect.

    I can not recommend enough, I am almost done with the first DLC and I cant wait to finish the second!

I played on normal difficulty and still got my ass handed to me every 10 minutes, and it was worse in the Expansion packs. Definitely a good game to play to sharpen skills and focus on key combos. Go ahead, Rip and Tear, until it is done.

    Contrary to initial impressions, DOOM Eternal is not an action game; it is a puzzle game. Where a casual observer might watch high-level gameplay and only see the flurry of bullets and cacaphony of targets whizzing by the screen, the player sees a totally different picture.

    Instead of just seeing targets, they see priorities. Instead of just dodging, they're thinking about the order of their actions, which resources to manage, how to most effectively keep them up, when to engage, when to run, and who to kill first. Every encounter is like a new puzzle to solve.

    Every arena consists of two categories of enemies; fodder, and heavies. Fodder enemies, typically imps, soldiers, and gargyoles, are hardly threats. They have small health pools, make little effort to dodge your attacks, and generally go down in a few small-arms shots. However, they serve a different purpose; they are easy prey to use your various resource-management abilities on. Use a glory kill on one to get health back, use a chainsaw to get ammo, or use the flame belch to get armor. Because these enemies are quick to kill, respawn indefinitely, and pose little threat, they exist not as targets, but as resource nodes to fall back on after running your guns dry, or getting low on health and armor. No; in a given arena, the real threat are the heavies.

    The heavies and super heavies are the real center of an arena. Unlike fodder, they have much larger health pools, more mobility, and generally much more dangerous attacks. The doomslayer's priority on entering any arena is killing the heavies as fast as possible. Doing so is not always so cut and dry; each heavy usually has a unique weakness or strategy to exploit, with which the doomslayer must respond to accordingly: cacodemons can be made to swallow a sticky bomb with precise timing, staggering them instantly; the hell knight has a particular weakness to the chaingun, making him falter more than any other weapon; and the most contentious enemy of all, the marauder, must be fought one-on-one in a very particular manner, countering his attacks and staying at a specific range. Taking all of this into account while fighting the heavies, as well as considering your ammo, health, and armor, and where the nearest fodder enemies are should you need to temporarily retreat and restock, makes up the bulk of the game's combat loop. Mess up once on nightmare, and you're a dead doomslayer.

    That's not to say you don't need a good base in FPS skill to play this game well; actually hitting your targets is just as important as knowing which targets to shoot. That skill floor might put off some less experienced fps players. But if you think you can handle it, the challenge DOOM Eternal presents is well worth it.

    The enemy design is the strongest I've ever seen in a game. Each one offering something completely different and unique opportunities to destroy them. Every arena is a glorified flowchart where you're assessing your ammo, health, and armor reserves at every given moment. Not to mention the dozens of demons that are always in your face, ready to be shot at.

    Great game. Big improvement over Doom 2016 but its more demanding and has higher skill gap. Requires you to turn on your brain and think rather than mindless shooting of Doom 2016.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brutal and dynamic, describes the game pretty well. It took me about 15 hours, played on Ultra-Brutal, got 555 gamerscore and had a hell of a lot of fun.

    story

    What do you want, give me the gun! Seriously, I actually liked the story a lot. It was interesting enough, and I don't give the story the highest priority in a game like this. I've read a few entries in the Code and dossiers, but by no means all. I didn't want to lose the gameplay momentum and listened more to the cut scenes or monologues. Well enough for me to keep you happy.

    Presentation / graphics / performance

    A board of game. I think Doom: Eternal looks really cool. Sufficiently varied and also very large areas really invite you to marvel. The brutality, the aesthetics, the architectural design of the levels was terrific (I thought Urdak, for example, was really awesome).

    The performance on the Series X is almost perfect. The game ran 99% of the time, despite the very high dynamics, the many different effects, colors, etc. without any problems. Strangely enough, when I tried to pull myself up on an edge, I often had short frame breaks.

    Also in the last level I had a flickering edge from hell, a restart fixed it right away.

    The appearance of the opponents and weapons fits perfectly into the game and is partly known from the predecessor.

    The music does the rest and always makes you want to go to the next round of combat in the area.

    There are also humorous passages, such as the Doom Guy deals with a scientist. It's funny.

    Gameplay

    It is the centerpiece and really tears in. The combined gameplay of Glory-Kill = health or bloodbeat, chainsaw = ammunition and flamethrower = armor enables a dynamic in the game that can lead to a real flow of bloodlust. It took me some time to get in at the beginning, but once you understand it, it just goes off.

    You really notice how you improve with several hours of play and get into this "flow" more and more often.

    In addition, there are the outstanding weapons, all of which I enjoyed except for the rocket launcher. I've used every weapon over and over and the super shotgun with fire chain is one of my favorites. With the rocket launcher, I always had the problem that the dynamics became too fast for me and I very often killed myself. But later on I also found my use for the part here.

    There are also countless upgrade options for weapons and armor, as well as certain runes that make the game easier, because it has been a tough challenge. E.g. Funnily enough, I really liked the sniper upgrade for the heavy weapon, as it is a great feeling to target the weak points of larger opponents in the middle of the dynamic.

    There is so much to discover, the game rewards you with secrets, some of which can be exhibited in the HUB. I also find the HUB very nice and I have always looked around there and e.g. listened to the records.

    So all gold that glitters? Not quite.

    The puzzles (as a "decelerating" element, which I found okay in and of itself) were extremely easy and very lame, and the jump passages weren't really my thing either. I also found these rather boring and would have liked to have had more demanding passages.

    And as with Doom 2016, I would have liked to have had more bosses. So I mean real boss opponents who don't appear later as easy opponents. Doom is actually ideal for horny boss counters.

    Speaking of opponents: The Marauder is the biggest crap I've seen in the shooter genre. I didn't enjoy the guy at all and even took it away from me. Later you get littered with the enemy and it's just annoying, especially his messed up dog. Even when I found out how to fight him, it didn't change anything about the fact that it wasn't fun.

    Conclusion

    The best shooter I've played in a long time. The fighting dynamics are simply unmatched and you can literally play your way into a room. I didn't like a few features but overall an absolute recommendation 9/10 demon sacrifice.

    Η μουσική παίζει επίσης μεγάλο ρόλο, η μουσική μάχης μπορεί ακόμη και να σε κάνει να θέλεις 1v1 με τον Ήλιο! Θέτει τη διάθεση σε αυτό το παιχνίδι υπέροχα.
    Νομίζω ότι το υπέροχο παιχνίδι σε συνδυασμό με τα υπέροχα γραφικά και την πρωτοποριακή ιστορία το κάνουν υπέροχο.

    Raspuns lung. O rotire bine executată a genului shooter, care își propune să învețe atât noilor veniți, cât și veteranilor, un mod diferit și unic de abordare a întâlnirilor, nu numai în acest joc, ci și în toate FPS-urile. Excelează la tot ce a introdus Doom din 2016 și împinge asta la o viteză de combustibil mult mai adrenalină decât orice ați experimentat înainte.

    Le jeu sur les compétences les plus difficiles est difficile comme des clous, vous serez envahi par des ennemis et les changements d'armes ne peuvent pas venir assez vite. Liez vos armes correctement, ça ira, croyez-moi. Cela me rappelle Serious Sam, Quake, Unreal Tournament tout en un.

    It may not reach the sublime heights of its predecessor, but Doom Eternal is bursting at the seams with hellacious action.

    An absolutely spectacular game, and one of the early highlight games of 2020. Doom Eternal will make you think as you kill, pushing your mind to its limits. That’s not a bad thing. It’s the perfect trip to hell.

    Doom Eternal is an outstanding entry in the series marredby a few setbacks. There is a ton of content including one of the best shooter campaigns I have played this generation. The push and pull method of the combat is addictive to master and a blast to play. Everything looks and sounds fantastic and this is a game that makes me smile as a fan since the beginning. While the generation may be coming to an end, Doom Eternal is one of the games that will send it off with a bang.
