    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.    … Expand

    The Story 1.5/2
    How much weight can one review give a game that's main loop is chainsawing, slugging or blasting your way through waves of nasties? the answer is not much however the addition of some cut scenes from the 2016 experience is a welcomed step without breaking too much of the immersion that some cut scenes can do.

    Gameplay 3.5/4
    Freaking awesome! What this game does better than DOOM 2016 is give the player a chance to use a heap of different weapon combos on the varied enemy types. I for one think this is really important for FPS games rather than using 2 guns through a whole play through. I wasn't as much a fan of the platforming and puzzle bits in this game however very minimal criticism.

    Visuals/Art Design 2/2
    This game runs beautifully, looks fantastic from the guns to the splashes of blood coming off chainsawed enemies. The landscapes are something to behold and amongst the chaos that is DOOM, the few seconds where you sit back and look at the environments you're in are welcomed.

    Sound 2/2
    They somehow made the shotgun sound more meaty. They made the guns sound more punchy making it feel even better when you're slugging those aliens left right and centre.

    This game is a strong 9/10 and is 10-15 hours of solid game play depending on difficulty. For those that need to let off some steam, this is a must pick up!    … Expand

I didn't really think this was needed that much, but it's something interesting to explore. The game is gorgeous, with amazing art direction. The soundtrack is god tier, making you truly feel like the Slayer. Most of the missions are pretty good, the stories good, and the lore is all good. However, the game is brought down to a 9 for me because of the seemingly low amount of missions, that it seems like there isn't much of a need for a mission select button. There also isn't much of a reason to replay levels, unless playing on higher difficulties. This is in thanks to a fast travel feature, unlocked near the end of the level, which allows you to fast travel to points across the map. This allows you to quickly collect collectibles and complete optional encounters. Overall though, its a fantastic game.… Expand

    I thought this game was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good.

And it wasn't    I thought this game was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good.

    1) Combat

    The developers have stated again and again in interviews that they want this game to elicit similar strategies to a game of chess. Each enemy type having specific strengths and weaknesses. And I must say: they succeeded. This idea came through beautifully in the finished product!

    And it wasn't just the enemies. The Slayer's moveset had some more strategy put in as well! Most notable is the lack of ammo in your reserves. You have very little ammo in this game and you're constantly running out. However, this actually comes off as a plus. Why? Because it gives you the opportunity to unleash your chainsaw on the closest demon fodder! What's more, is that your chainsaw fuel constantly recharges on it's own (and rather quickly too) so you'll never be without ammo if you play your cards right.

    2) Style Change

    There's been a slight, but very noticeable, style shift from the last Doom game. Its surprisingly silly and cartoony, and I'm kinda into it. A lot more Demon punching slapstick. Plus, the ammo/health pickups greatly resemble the original, magical, floating Doom pickups, giving it a more cartoony/fantasy vibe. A bit of an adjustment from Doom (2016), but all in the service of making the game more arcade fun.

    And a bit of a side note: Eternal is a whole lot more colorful, and I totally dig it.

    3) Exploration / Level Pacing

    In Doom (2016), my biggest problem with the game was that the levels were a slog to get through. This was mostly caused by the fact that I was constantly switching between a combat mindset and an exploration mindset. I'd complete a combat encounter, then explore the area for collectables. This slowed the game down to a crawl.

    In Eternal, this isn't a problem. I can safely skip all the collectables in a level and focus on the combat. Why? Because of the simple addition of fast travel; unlocked near the end of each level. Once I reach the end of a level, I can fast travel back to key sections and find everything I need to make my inner collector happy!

    And if you don't care about searching the level for weapon upgrades, you can skip exploration entirely! You're awarded these through combat challenges as well. So don't worry if you're not into playing hide n' seek with collectables.

    4) Story

    Probably the most divisive part of the game are the prominince of the story and cutscenes. Not to worry! If you're not into that, they aren't essential to you're enjoyment, and they're completely skippable. (Except for the opening 30 seconds, but it's not story based or anything like that.)

    Of course, if you're like me, you will be very interested to see where the story goes. There's a whole lotta story beats involving the Slayer's past that I think y'all will like. I certainly did. Anyways, its kept rather vague, so if you want to know everything, better bust out those Codex entries.

    However, if you're not interested at all in the story there are still some Codex entries you might get a kick out of! Take a look at "History of the Sentinals - Part IX" (Last 2 Paragraphs), "History of the Sentinals - Part XIV" (All of It), and "Super Shotgun" (Last Paragraph). All of those are pretty badass.

    5) Summary

    The only thing keeping it from a 10/10 are some minor nitpicks. This game is amazing and I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is honestly one of the best FPS games I’ve had ever played before. The movement in this game (for some reason a big criticism about this game) is very fluid especially after getting the “Air Control” rune and combined with the good controls, I like it, but I honestly disagree with about how people say this game focuses on the air movement when in reality it’s **** cool to swing around like a monkey and it’s supposed to help you to get around arena environments easier. Overall I feel like the game does put a lot of pressure on you in terms of ammo, yes I did like how I had a very large supply of ammo in DOOM 2016, but having less ammo ment that I had to be smarter about the weapons I used, since you only have such limited ammo, the game does give you tips for specific characters like for the marauder you need to shoot him when his eyes turn green or for the mancubus that you shoot out his hand cannons, cannons? (plus I loved how fluid the crucible felt like). But obviously you can collect the sentinel crystals all around the game to get more health, armor, and ammo. Something else that came out to me is some people are saying how the story is flat, it’s a doom game, it’s not supposed to be a game based on a huge ass story.


    Now my only complaint is about the Battlemode (which gave this rating a 9) Now yes I do know it isn’t the “show” of the game but when I played battlemode for the first time playing as the slayer I was being pretty overwhelmed about the amount of things you have to take in, take for example, needing to pay attention where the demons are, needing to chose the right time to use the chainsaw etc. Those did not really affect me afterwards but some of the demons are pretty strong in there own ways, especially the marauder. But overall, it’s a cool idea, but it was just kind of if ID threw a dart at a board blindly and almost got to the bullseye but didn’t really hit it at all.

    But I can highly recommend this game for mostly its campaign. So if you’re thinking of buying the game, buy it, but if you want to waste more money for like the deluxe edition then I suggest looking a bit deeper into the game to see if you like it.    … Expand

The level design throughout the game as been changed to help you adapt to the new gameplay style. You'll need to keep moving by swinging, dashing and jumping between platforms and walkways to ensure your victory. This change with the movement coupled with an AI that will show you no mercy make for a shooter that is both fun and a force to be reckoned with. The story is solid as well, giving a little more backstory to The Doom Slayer through cutscenes that are more cinematic this time around. In addition to that Doom Eternal also expands on the Doom lore and answered some questions fans may have been left with at the end of Doom 2016 via Codex Entries. The game has also improved with the graphics as well. While Doom 2016 was designed with more horror elements in mind, with darker environments and a color pallet mostly consisting of brown and red, Doom Eternal has a far more vibrant array of colors. Higher quality textures and model improvements for the demons help them stick out from the background more while also changing up a few designs from 2016 to look closer to their original 1993 designs. With all this the only real gripes I have with the game is I wish it was a little longer and I wish there was more to the multiplayer. I feel Doom 2016 had a story that was longer by maybe a few chapters with definitive Acts in between each major boss. With Doom Eternal I feel like it was all just one really long act. The Multiplayer is also lacking slightly, with only one game mode at the time of writing this it can get stale after a few matches. Overall, Doom Eternal is incredible! With many different ways to replay the game once you've completed the campaign, collectables which give rewards such as high resolution models of all of your enemies and soundtracks from previous ID software titles, on top of a gory mess of fun makes, Doom Eternal my FPS of 2020.… Expand

The combat loop is very satisfying, getting you to constantly scan your environment for ways to continue fighting (fodder demons to chainsaw/flame belch, monkey bars to dodge foes, important demons to focus on and fodder location, etc.) and is very rewarding. The game isn't afraid to kick your ass, which is appreciated from 2016 which was pretty easy, even in the late game. While the restricted ammo may come across as an annoyance, it helps reinforce the combat loop and gets your brain to constantly scan the environment for ammo pickups/fodder and to monitor your ammo levels. There's a reason the chainsaw now recharges, to get you into that combat loop. 2016 let you go through everything with the Super Shotgun, becoming rather boring later in the game. DOOM: Eternal gives you incentive to use each weapon. Some enemies have weakpoints, areas where if damaged reduce their damage or even mobility. Some weapons/mods do more/less damage to weakpoints, incentivizing you to switch your weapons frequently and again, scan the arena. It's not a mindless shooter where you're constantly killing everything (kinda like 2016 ngl), you have to think about importance of targets, ammo capacity, weakpoints, weapons on hand, mods, and so much more. It's incredible how much fun it is to fly around an arena switching weapons like mad as you cut down the legions of Hell. The story in DOOM games as never been important, but the story in DOOM: Eternal is pretty interesting (at least to me :P). It's handled much better than in 2016, since you can skip any cutscene. 2016 had 2 parts where Hayden just spieled at you for a couple minutes in a tiny room. Now, most of the story is told in skipable cutscenes and Codex entries. Speaking about Codex entries, the secrets in this game are much cooler. While you can't play retro levels as the Slayer, you can play DOOM and DOOM II in the Fortress of Doom. To access the original DOOM, you need to collect every cheat code hidden throughout the levels and in the Fortress. There's also the toys, being models of demons instead of Praetor suit variants. A bit off topic, but the environments are absolutely gorgeous with some of the best level design in DOOM history. Everywhere you look you'll see something interesting, whether it's a dead demon or a grand view the game is beautiful. If you enjoyed DOOM 2016 you will definitely get a kick out of this game. Even if you've never played a DOOM game before, now is a great time to start.

    My ONLY negative is that Battlemode is lackluster. Still interesting but definitely needs some more work.

    So all in all, this game is amazing, down to the combat loop, environment, exploration, rewards, story, and more. Rip and tear, until it is DONE!    … Expand

My only problem with the game is it being a buggy piece of **** I would occasionally be FLUNG OFF OF THE SURFACE OF EARTH and textures not loading right so the skybox can be seen (I mainly noticed this in the Doomhunter Base), and sometimes the demons would just disappear when they died.

It gets a 9 out of 10 for because of the glitches and also Animal Crossing is perfect and Eternal just can’t be as good as it.… Expand

Had me looking out of play to see huge statues, buildings etc. I give it a 9/10 because the Multiplayer just wasn’t for me on this one. I loved DOOM 2016 MP as I loved team based 6 on 6 fast combat. Freeze tag was definitely a fun game mode one of my favorites in any game I’ve ever played. But this MP is cool just not for me. Should you pick this up? If your looking for a quick campaign, easy achievements, cheat codes that don’t affect you getting achievements :) and just being a bad*** killing all these demons while listening to this dope music then this game is your type of game.… Expand

Twice the action and twice the vein-popping difficulty of its direct predecessor. Mick Gordon knocks it out of the park a second time with the soundtrack, gunplay is *chef's kiss*, and plenty of new ways to turn anyone who dare stand before The Doomslayer into a bloody mess, now that they've added directional Glory killing just to name a few things this game does correctly. My one issue about this game is the ending cutscene; It just doesn't feel satisfying. You just get a voiceover of one of the characters, King Novik, telling you that "his fight is eternal" as Doom-guy walks off before you get smacked with a title card. 20+ hours and a handful of gray hair for that?… Expand

The demons have all of their ruthless characteristics that they have in most Doom games. The bosses are not as interesting as Doom 2016, but that's just my opinion. The most interesting bosses were the Khan Makr and the Doom Hunters were the most indulging bosses by FAR. The enviroment's were gritty and at times were very sharp and almost glistening at times.

This game has everything, it has great graphics, fun and unique enemy’s to slay, light and not to hard puzzles, amazing arenas, things to explore for things like cool demon figures, sound tracks, cheat codes, and upgrades for your suit and weapon upgrades. Also ammo management isn’t too hard because you never run out of chainsaw fuel to rip the ammo out of the zombie demon. But one especially good thing is that every weapon that you get in the game feels unique and I never found myself not using every weapon for every “mortality challenged” enemy. But this wouldn’t be a full review if I didn’t say anything about the marauders which were not too bad actually. Everyone says they’re the worst because of their difficultly, but if you just leave them for last and it’s pretty easy. Anyways 9/10, a great introduction to the Doom series and I can’t wait for more DLC’s and the next entry.… Expand

It was useless, they moved too quickly, they cared not for themselves, only sought out the blood of humanity. They were willing to sacrifice their own to get to the heart of our world. We slaughtered thousands and millions more followed, but then he came - he cut through them like a sickle through a field - his fury surpassing their own. He is faster - more relentless.

    Loved it's art direction, color palette, arcade-ish approach to pick-ups and UI. If you want some true si-fi horror go (re)play Dead Space, where you are constantly haunted... In Doom Eternal they are haunted, because a Doom Slayer entered the facility!
    Loved both Doom 2016 & Eternal but find the latter more fun and addicting.
    Why 8/10? For two reasons: forced platforming/jumping often annoys, and the game is too short for the money (paid 99 eur for deluxe). More end game activities and/or progression would be appreciated. I know it sounds like a heresy to orthodox gamers, but RPG elements & loot would fit perfectly such game as Doom Eternal.

Nothing feels purposeful, it feels mindless and repetitive from start to finish, none of the levels are memorable, the combat is constant, never giving you a chance to breathe or explore, it’s a headache… playing through doom eternal is an enjoyable headache.. but still a headache…
    combat that time around is much more enjoyable though. Enemies having their weaknesses, making almost every battle feel like a puzzle despite feeling mindless at the same time, rarely leading to frustrating encounters.. but don’t get me wrong.. those encounters do exist.. though rare.. theres one over powered enemy specifically that kills all and any fun youll be having with this game in an instant… more specifically in one area of the game where youre trapped with him and a snake enemy, and no ammo or health really around… which brings me to another gripe I have with doom eternal, its health and ammo situation… ammo health and armor really feel nonexistent in doom eternals world, instead the game relies on you using your abilities to obtain armour and health, you can catch enemies on fire and freeze them, you have chainsaw enemies for ammo… but I just feel like id much rather have ammo drops after killing enemies than forced to find a small one I can chainsaw..wait for that chainsaw to refuel and do it again… the chainsaw system in general is a nonsensical mess… you can store up to 3 chainsaw attacks, however there is no enemy you can kill with 2 fuels… so whats the point… theres 1 and theres 3… and then you have enemies later on that cant be attacked with the chainsaw at all because theyre too big… these enemies should be reserved for 3.. and the middle large enemies killed with 2.. it just leads to fuel hording, and the payoff is never worth it.. but that can be said for this games weapons as well, youre given amazing weapons towards the end of the game, but rarely any fuel to use them, which begs me to ask.. why even give them to me in the first place.. especially the sword… this item didn’t come into play and was basically unusable until the final boss… but if this was that weapons only purpose, I suppose that’s okay… but I feel if that is the case you should’ve just waited longer to give it to me… All in all I do feel Doom Eternal is a great game, its fun zombie slaying to heavy metal, theres a crazy amount of weapons, and different ways to upgrade these weapons, customize them to your gameplay… but just don’t believe the hype… go into doom eternal expecting a great game and not an amazing game or a masterpiece and you surely wont be disappointed…
    But if you go in expecting game of the year, youre going to get smacked with level design and gameplay that feels plucked out of the old god of war games with guns stapled to it

New gameplay additions, like the bloodpunch, flamer and whatever the sword-thingie is, offer further variety, without detracting from the game's incredibly high and fluid pacing. There isn't really a narrative, and why should there be? Its the ultimate power fantasy. One that never fails to offer degree of intimidation however, with some very difficult levels. Its far harder than the previous game, with the new enemies and limited ammo (nicely forcing you to play around the many and varied weapons) massively upping the difficulty.

    Despite being one of the best shooters of this generation, there are still some gripes i have with this instalment. Firstly, tedious, uninspired platforming sequences i think were a lazy design choice in an effort to add further variety. The game's hub, where you often find yourself between main missions, isn't interesting enough to warrant its existence. A new multiplayer mode is fun, but i think it far from makes up from the removal of the main multiplayer mode seen in the previous game; it feels like a step-backwards. Last point, and a glaring step-backwards, is the far fewer customisation options. Seems strange they removed these features, and i'm unlikely to continue playing much now as a result.    … Expand

However the game isn’t perfect due to certain game design choices. Platforming plays a much bigger role this time around however it feels very lackluster, the game is also much more punishing in relation to health and ammo which breaks the flow of the game sometimes and there are also minor annoyances that I have including the marauder enemy type which is a chore to defeat as well as fps drops when running against certain walls. Overall its a great game that is pretty much on par with the previous game and is definitely worth picking up.… Expand

Хоть все эти три работы и получились достойными, чисто на эмоциональном уровне понимаешь, что от них несёт баблом, но лучше от того не становится. Пропало ощущение "киндер сюрприза", как зачастую и бывает с сиквелами, где упор делается на больше, круче, солиднее, а душа хоть и не встаёт на второй план, но всё же оттесняется в сторонку. При этом геймплейно с первых минут создатели, будто бы "невзначай", говорят: вы знали на что шли, никакого разогрева, сразу прыгайте в пекло товарищи.

    I loved DOOM 2016, so at the beginning i was very dissapointed due to the ammuntion lack and the changed chainsaw "prioritization". But after giving this design choice a chance and accepting that the trash mobs and the chainsawing is your ammo backup, and accepting some platforming, all changed and i had really a lot of fun overall, and some heart pumping moments.

The cacodemons taking longer to stagger, movement speed, and the platforming. Wow . I loved doom 4 for it's very little platforming because you get to rip and tear much quicker. In this game, especially the cult fortress, has a ridiculous amount of annoying platforming. It can be frustrating when you want to get back to blasting demons and listening to metal . And that's another thing. The music. The battle music is fantastic of course but they reused some tracks like bfg division. The ambient music(what you listen to while platforming) is bad. It's not something that I would him along to at least. And then the sorry. I will not spoil anything but it's all over the place. The great about doom 4 was that they would tell you enough for the story to make sense and then the codex would give you lore. Eternal loves nothing more than to give you nothing. They explain nothing and if you want any details on anything which you will you have to read. Again it's hard to explain but it feels loosly connected. Overall I'd say if they increased movement speed by like %10 and got rid of a lot of the platforming in exchange for demon killing it would be a 9/10… Expand

    Runes and perks is better then the ones from Doom 2016

    Love the level design.

    Love the cosmetic stuff for the Doomguy and his weapons.

    Last boss fight is epic.

    Some of the weapons are better like the old Plasma Rifle and the Minigun, BFG 9000 is awesome to use, the unmaker is a beast to use, the Ballista is good againt the retarded maruder and last the super shotgun gives ok dmg and the meat hook is awesome. bot i should be more op like the one from Doom 2016.

    Cheat codes is a warm welcome.

    Mixted:
    The jumping and grabling feals off some time and can get pretty anoing.

    The doomguy gets stuck pretty easy, glitch stuck when jumping on to some surface.

    Enemy on easy diffeculty deal way to much dmg special the maruder.

    Armor in this game feals like wering plastic, short livespan not like in Doom 2016

    Extra life is just stupid not much to say there.

    The sentinel armor ui is anoing to look ad the screen, it should be a little icon insted of turning the screen a bit green.

    Equipment Launcher grenades is not that greate the grenades from the shotgun is way better, i mostly use the freze bombs its more useful. And the Flame Breach i forget it all the time.

    Bad:
    The Maruder is the most anoing enemy in this game, this dude should just be a boss or be tone a hell of a lot down in speed and dmg and make ham take dmg from BFG and the The Crucible, the best weapons agains him is the Ballista and Super shotgun.

    Dread Knight is just a anoing version of the Hell Knight with stupid op aoe dmg, to bad this mob was maket i would be more fun to see more normal Hell Knight then lame Dread Knights.

    Less ammo was the most retarded idea ever its a Doom game not a tactical shooter, hope in the new dlc they add ammo backpack as and upgradeble.

    Some enemy is way to much bullet sponge, like the stupid Maruder who feals like he would belong to a Dark Souls game insted of Doom.

    Battlemode is lame they should have chosen coop insted.

    Overall its a Good game with some flaws, to bad that some elements of the game reminds some part of Dark Souls with a mixt of a tactical shooter. Well the tactical shooter i can live with bot op enemy Dark Soul type should be drain down the toilet.    … Expand

    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.
