    Could be better, but already great. Big props to Mick Gordon for making one of my favorite video game soundtracks ever.

    To be fair, the game is not bad. It just does not feel right. It's nothing like Doom 2016. Remapping all the keys was stupid.

It feels over saturated, both in combat and color. I love cartoons and anime, but this is supposed to have a dark and gloomy feel.I am getting used to not getting my expectations high.

    So... I'm not in the habit of criticizing or rating a game, but the only brain cell that DOOM haters share made me write this little text ( sorry for spelling, grammar, ect. Not my first language yadayadayada...)

    The only difficulty comes from the new gameplay,
    you are as (or even more) powerful than in DOOM 2016,
    Yeah, there's not much ammunition, but you've got a way to recover it every ten seconds.
    Same with the armor, and the glory kill system is still here,
    the only downside here is that there's not a lot of different animation.

    There's more platforming than in DOOM 2016 and so? I personally find that it's not a problem it even helps a lot during the combat phases by making them generally more nervous and intense.
    The platforming phases between two arenas are not even difficult none of them requiring QTE-type interaction (unless you are a bit far from a wall to climb)
    All environments and levels are varied and colorful, not something you can see in 90 minutes of play.

    So I recommend this game to all players who are Hungry for fast FPS, gore and guts, and more specifically, for DOOM.

    This game is beautiful but has its flaws. Normal punches do no damage, the story is not great but it's a DOOM game. There are a few difficulty spikes, but it's alright. If you like jumping around, dashing, and grappling onto demons, this is the game for you.

I liked the return to how the original games played plus the addition of all the extra gadgets and utility like the Crucible, Grenades, Blood Punch, Dash ,etc. The game offers an insane amount of mobility coupled with the previously mentioned dash, meat hook on the super shotty and the swinging poles. The game gives the player so much freedom. Instead of relying on ground pickups for ammo you now have an ability to get ammo on demand using the chainsaw which recharges over time. Glory kills returned and they are better than ever awesome variety with finishers from the various directions. Tons of collectibles to collect and a few different modes for replayability. Like the Extra Life mode where you start with three lives and when they are gone game over (but more can be collected throughout the game) and the brutally difficult Ultra Nightmare mode where its one death and you restart the level much like the iron skull on Halo. The combat feels very fluid and arcadey like it should be. Weapons and a nice upgrade system and almost all of them have useful weapon mods and all are viable (the microwave beam mod for the plasma rifle is one of the weakest in my opinion) the ammo system pairs well with the new chainsaw, ammo running out happens rarely and can be regained quickly using the chainsaw ability. New platforming sections are added which break up the monotony of slaying hellspawn which are a nice nod to classic games. These platforming sections are very simple and add in a nice way to show off the new movement system. The enemies on Ultra Violence (which is the difficulty that beat the game on first) are well balanced and the new Marauder is a tough enemy that requires some finesse and skill to take down but is a fun fight. The game includes various optional encounters like the Slayer's Gate and the aptly named Secret Encounters which reward you with weapon upgrade token and a very special weapon with the completion of all the Slayer Gates. The new Battlemode is a fun multiplayer mode and gives you the ability to play as various of the heavy demons, but I think that the game could do with the traditional multiplayer like in DOOM 2016. The story is interesting with the addition of the Maykrs and some history of the Sentinels. It sufficed for a background to killing demons, but lets be honest we didn't come play a DOOM game for the story. Overall I would give the game a 9.8 but Ill just do a 10 for sake of simplicity. Finally I'd like to say that the game is up there with one of my favorite games and I never really got into DOOM 2016 so I cannot make a comparison to it but from what I have heard about the 2016 game I'll say that they are both great games and Eternal is only an improvement of 2016's formula. Thanks for reading my review hope it gives you some insight on whether you'd like to purchase the game or not (hopefully you do).… Expand

I do wish there was a bigger variety of guns most the guns are identical in terms of upgrades that they dont feel very special or unique hopefully with future dlc we get another gun.

    this game pushes the envelope for what the fps genre can be, the game challenges the player but gives them all the tools they need to succeed. Any frustration this game can sometimes provide is simply a product of the player not understanding the game's mechanics and trying to go in guns blazing without thinking.

    Make no mistake, the majority of the time you spend in Doom Eternal will be spent jumping, grappling, air-dashing, and hazard-evading.

    In DOOM 2016, the story felt much better and the game felt more serious. Here they have simplified it for some reason.

    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

    One of the biggest complaints about this game is actually the reason I enjoy this more than the 2016 Doom game. It's pace is a little bit easier, and slightly less stressful. It's still full of the action packed anxiety ridden fun of the 2016 doom, but you can easily take it at a slightly slower pace than before.

    It takes a few levels to really get into the combat groove, but once you do it's extremely fun and satisfying. Using all the weapons and equipment available to you becomes second nature and the entire experience feels faster and more brutal than DOOM 2016. id seriously knocked it out of the park with the combat and the ridiculous story that gets crazier as you go on.

    MARAUDERS ARE A CANCER.
    Besides the fact that the lamest enemies ID could have put in the game are in the game, it is worth picking up.

    Level design is abysmally claustrophobic and it forces you to try and parkour in these confined spaces, there is a new dash feature which I love but it has a cooldown which is dumb because it is the only thing preventing you from being ripped apart by demons.

And because of this you will get trapped between a demon and a hard place or another demon and die helplessly for more than you would like. And if you think that was where the problems ended you are so very wrong. ALL DEMONS RUSH YOU AND WILL VERY RARELY MISS THEIR SHOTS, so you will never have full health and always be on the run, never having time to strategize or just waiting to die so you can try and make a perfect run in order to pass one part of a level. In fact because of this doing glory kills which made doom 2016 so great is as pointless and detrimental as they are in duke nukem because not only do you lose all the health you gained but you will die immediately after the fact because of the body blocking and high accuracy the demons have at their disposal now. The rocket launcher is back for some reason despite being the worst gun in DOOM 2016 aside from the pistol and does self-damage for some reason again, which screws you over a lot considering the body blocking demons. Also, there is a weak point system in the game that was executed terribly. You would think the developers of this game would take pointers from something like the dead space franchise since the developers for that title perfected limb cutting mechanics. BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG, only the HEAVY CANNON WITH THE SCOPE ATTACHEMENT RELIABLY CRIPPLES DEMONS, unlike dead space where every gun offered a tactical advantage. Which btw if you do not cripple demons you will die easily and immediately because they will overwhelm you with their multiple guns CONSTANTLY firing on you with no reload animations to give you a breather, let alone their larger hitboxes from said multiple guns makes it easier for them to body block you. This new weak point system makes all other guns (aside from the heavy cannon) pointless and useless except for when you run out of ammo for your heavy cannon, forcing you to have to play a specific way despite the developers praising themselves for their "diversity of combat" in DOOM eternal. Also you have to move slow and stand still most of the time to pick enemies apart with the heavy cannon which will kill you super quick because as I mentioned before YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING CAUSE YOU HAVE NO HEALTH AND DEMONS CONSTATLY BODY BLOCK YOU IF YOU DO NOT. There are loads of puzzles which get frustrating and old super-fast because unlike Metroid the only way to backtrack in doom IS TO RESTART THE WHOLE MISSION. Which would not be so bad if it was only collectables you lose from these puzzles on no, these bright individuals decided in a doom game that what players really wanted was too play cranium puzzles in order to get essential upgrades you need for your weapons and armor so you do not die easily and more pathetically then you already do. Which would not be so bad if there was not a useless interactive environment system that did not add insult onto injury. It tries to encourage you to kill enemies with it, but it kills you more instead. This system lacks any proper mechanics like in the game Bullstorm unless you get upgrades later to make it mediocre at best. Oh, and best part is there is a “lives” system like for arcade games, I guess the developers somewhat realized how terrible their design choices for combat where, so they implemented a token system to balance it out (which btw is not a bad idea for ultra-nightmare or arcade mode even if combat mechanics where not terrible). So, if you were looking for immersion in this game you will not find it. I have not even finished the campaign yet because of how unfun and frustrating it is, I tried to play multiplayer but that was even more of a train wreck. “BATTLEMODE” as they call it is just team deathmatch despite the developers claiming it is not. Their adorable little twist is that it is a 1 vs 2 team deathmatch where a human character with unique powers fights two player-controlled monsters with unique powers who can summon minions and debuff you, this goes on for three or so rounds and you unlock new powers for each round after the first. This is clearly a totally original system and never has anything similar or exactly the same ever been done before in any other game such as: dying light, evolve, left 4 dead 1/2, aliens vs predator (the 2010 game), battle born, overwatch, every single moba every, and more. This multiplayer idea is not only completely unoriginal, but it is incredibly unbalanced to the point where the only people who will get enjoyment out of it are masochists playing as the human and sadists playing as the demons. Then again if this was no accident considering bdsm is viewed by certain people of faith to be evil/satanic than this is an incredible design that is very lore friendly.… Expand

You can upgrade your gun mods as well as the suit and the abilities it has to offer. Also getting ammo and health is fun, by using the chainsaw as a necessary mechanic for getting ammo has made it key and fun since it makes you not only get ammo easy but also fun to watch on how detailed the animations of teared demons are. Also you cannot use it always as it has a cooldown and forcing you to get gather more fuel for higher demons so you don’t spam the thing. As the previous game did it, the glory kills are the way to get health in crucial moments during fights and as it was, the animations are so fun to watch. The game has some nice story though is not as deep as I though but it’s good since the combat and gamplay is the strongest feature. You now have a base which is greatly detailed and has some nice unlockables although it could have more elements that could make it more fun, but it is fun to explore. Overall it has become my favorite FPS of all time and I love what they did to refresh the franchise. Oh and the music is hands down a master piece. This franchise has amazing and talented people behind it, I hope other franchises do what they are doing.… Expand

    I can honestly say that Doom Eternal is one of the BEST first person shooters of ALL time. The shooting the enemy mechanics are a game changer. You basically get health, armor and ammo based on how you kill enemies. It's 30 seconds of fun repeated that does not get old.

    A lot of positives, a lot of negatives.

    While it has great visuals and fluid frame rates, this is a departure from 2016 DOOM. First and foremost there is more platforming in this than I can ever remember in any installment of Doom. It is not enjoyable either. More tedious than anything else. Then there is the utter nullification of melee in the game which is an absolute turn off.    A lot of positives, a lot of negatives.

    Then there is the utter nullification of melee in the game which is an absolute turn off. I get that its a shooter but it is taking a tried and true tool out of your tool box without good reason to do so.

    On the upside, between that and the excessive platforming it does make it a little bit more like the whole run and gun doom of old.

    The visuals are also astoundingly good, as is the sound.

    Writing, not so much. But seriously who is playing Doom for the story?

    The level design is probably about the weakest element and that again centers around the focus on platforming instead of working out better laid out and interesting combat areas to work through.

    I personally feel it is inferior to 2016 DOOM, but Doom eternal does do a lot well and it definitely will have a receptive audience for it. For my 2cp its only a bout a 5, but that is not by any means a failing grade for it. Its a solid, middle of the road game. It will appeal to its most die hard fans and non diehard fans can get into it. Its well made, just lacking the something intangible. Sort of like trying to scratch a dark souls itch with a game like The Surge. Its just not going to cut it.

    While still a good game, unless you HAVE to have it now, its definitely one worth waiting till Black Friday to see it drop down to about 30-35$ imho.    … Expand

First off the soundtrack is great and quite possibly one of my favourite things about the game. With the heavy music hyping you up and letting you know you're in for (excuse the pun) hell of a time, to the gothic hellish chants upon. The music really sets adds to the immersion factor. That said, as you battle on Earth the dark and heavy feel of the game is momentarily swept away coutsey of a charming sounding female hologram who in her chirpy tone really sells the benefits of a literal Hell on Earth that I found entertaining to listen to and almost willing to invest in due to her confidence and charismatic pitches, but alas demons need brutally slaughtered, so on we push. Visually the game delivers and updates from it's predecessor, with redesigned demons and maps that are detailed and almost picturesque in a hellish sort way. Gameplay is great. The game pits you Humanitys last hope against the hellish demonic legions. Unyielding and relentless in their attack (and that's on easy) leaves you feeling the helplessness of the situation for the Human Race, HOWEVER, you are the slayer, with sickengly well polished and designed mechanics that I'm convinced somebody on the dev team sold their soul, the game may be fustrating and give you the odd game over, however it feels like it was your mistake rather than an op demon or some sort of bug that dammed your soul to the firey depth os satan abyss, loading back in making a few adjustments to your play, be it using another weapon, using more of the given map, using the flamer to get some quick armor or maybe being more liberal with the chainsaw use to get ammo. The game challenges you to play better that gives yoy a sense of accomplishment for pushing through. However I don't feel the journey is over just yet and the unrelenting army of Hell is going to lay quiet for too long. Overall: A must have for any FPS fan, needing intense focus this game won't play nicely with others. Even easy can be a challenge.… Expand

    After 20+ hours and the final battle I felt literally exhausted. The gameplay pace is insane especially on the higher difficulties. Demons slaying is super satisfying. New strategic layer demanding using different weapons against different monsters/weak points is an improvement imo.

    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.

We seem to be riding this trend of making these games hard as possible for esport players = good in the past 4 years. Why make it so hard? put more difficulties for those no life esport lovers but make it the same as doom 2016 difficulty for the normal difficulty. It was perfect the way it was (Why change what is not broken). Making games to hard for ppl makes ppl not buy the next one because it limits ppl that have jobs and don't have time to put into these games. I won't be buying the next game and I'm about done buying games all together if this trend don't end. Dif not buying new systems either. If you esport tryhards wants a game they need to make their own ******* games and systems. Games are not careers for the majority of gamers. If you want games that is for ppl with careers than make your own ******* systems to play on. Sorry for the rant I'm just so tired of games being made for these no lifes. Casual gamers can't even get a single player game anymore because it's got to be so balanced and difficult for these COD, Fortnight, and League of legend multiplayer fanboys to have fun playing a dif game for once. One last thing I want to mention is jumping. Why is there so much jumping in this game like it's a platformer. This is Doom I want to shoot and run and that's it. If I wanted to play mario or halo I would buy those games. This is why games as a whole has lost so much from it's fanbase and most ppl has stopped playing games. Stop catering to these loser YouTubers and Esporters and make games for your fans. Your wasting money paying them to play it and say good things about it because ppl are figuring it out.

    Introduction

    This game is such an improvement since the reboot of doom that was released in 2016. The exploration is better, collectibles and secrets are fun to find and unlock. The sceneries and locations are beautiful to explore and look at whilst the gameplay is the classic rip and tear that intices the lovers like me. Gameplay is fluid at a stable 60fps with no slowdown. Glory kill animations are fluid and gory as DOOM can be with variations depending on angle of glory kill. The weakness areas are a cool new thing they added to change up the combat a little. Everything about this game is brilliant.

    Story

    Without any spoilers the story is absolutely brilliant and doom slayer is bigger and more badass than the previous title. The length of the campaign is at a reasonable length.

    To rap this up I can definitely see this being mine and many others goty contenders.

    one thing is clear too.. this game basically has ripped a TON from prince of persia if you have ever played anything of that series.. environment, platforms, etc.. some of it could be straight out of those games.. sometimes to such an extent it almost seems copy/paste.. like a game like the two thrones..

    Multiplayer: 0/10.. total trash.. something obviously made in some corporate echo chamber to be "innovative".. not even worth the time.. doesnt even feel like multiplayer.. most of the time youre just fighting against random AI.. they said they wanted to make sure it still felt "like doom" but really it still just feels "like single player".. there is zero sense of failure or accomplishment on a person to person basis when you win or lose.. its almost random.. its basically their "invasion mode" but in a small arena.. most of what youre fighting is just single player AI

    Its a good game but doom 2016 was better in every way.. and here youre missing a ton of features, snapmap, real multiplayer, everything totally gone    … Expand

    The game is interesting, dynamic, although I think all these puzzles and jumps are superfluous, but in general it is the same Doom. Great graphics, music, customizable interface.

    - Melee does no damage, unless enemies are staggered

    - Super annoying platforming, instead ditching it (already bad in 2016) they put it on steroids
    - More linear maps than 2016
    - Ugly menus and HUD. No matter how much you change colors. Disabling it gimps your gameplay
    - Worst of all, the hideous red LOW AMMO bar, blocking your view (you'll see lot of that)
    - The font used everywhere makes Comic Sans look good
    - Literally, the UI designer must be blind or retarded or both
    - Confusing, nonsensical story nobody cares about.. constant cutscenes break the action
    - Doom guy isn't as brutal anymore, he calmly listens to the idiotic speeches the NPCs give
    - No pickup animation for guns, instead collect ugly floating neon icons -> teleport to tutorial
    - You're forced to use all guns, by being out of ammo constantly --> time for chainsaw
    - Ugly garish rainbow colored pickups pouring out of enemies
    - Guns are ugly 90's style floating pickups now, instead of grounded look of 2016
    - Graphics not really that impressive, art style is cartoony compared to 2016. Technically maybe better graphics, artistically NOT better
    - Music is good, but not as good as 2016, Mick Gordon going through motions, nearly all of the riffs suck compared to 2016

Pickups are either super-bright, colored like candy or bob up and down while violently flashing. It might not sound severe but it is really irritating. Like... the chainsaw you rip out of a guys body in Doom 2016, or the rifle you tear from a dead soldies arms. In Doom 2020 they just hover on the ground in the dedicated weapon room at some point in the level, flashing wildly.

    This diconnect carries over into the sound design and animations. For one it's really strong and snappy but now and then you have this comical sounds - like when some headshots or ripping out a cacodemons eye will make an audible 'pop' sound that could come straight out of a kids tv show. It might sound super-petty but imagine listening to a metal opera and every now and then the lead goes 'hyuck-hyuck' like Goofy.

    Gameplay wise it's good with even more emphasis on movement and a lot more enemies to fight and manage. The pistole is now gone which ... i can understand, but the replacement is that you now always have 1 fuel for the chainsaw with which to kill lesser enemies. The resulting candy explosion is your main way of regenerating ammo. And that's something that does not work for me. When i fight a big demon it's just tideous to turn around and look for one of the endlessly spawning minor zombies so i can get some ammo back. By now every now and then when it happens i roll my eyes with a sigh.

    Doomguy itself started bulking and went from just an angry guy who had enough of this **** to stereotypic antihero with a heart of gold, that constantly gets told by everyone how awesome they are. They really go out of the way with pampering the player. Not my favorite design choice.

    All that said, it's still a good shooter. It's still an id shooter and they managed to get some fun new gameplay mechanics that act as modifiers on the existing combat. If everything of my complaints sounded like minor issues, you might want to give it a try.    … Expand

You'll find yourself in an intense fight, kicking ass, really feeling like the doom slayer only to have to hop skip and jump outa there with your tail between your legs looking for a zombie to chainsaw for bullets. I'm no expert developer but I figure this can be easily remedied by increasing the slayer's ammo stock.) Doom eternal petty thoughts: When you glory kill a Cacodemon you'll rip out it's eyeball like taffy and get this annoying thwooooop sound. Okay, I get the mentality behind that one. Developer 1: "I bet it would be funny if we interrupted the badass metal with a few cartoon sound effects". Developer 2: "Oh that is so funny! You're so quirky and original". Another petty complaint would be the colorful bullets. I've never before wanted to eat ammunition (besides of course in middle school). Now, if you loved Doom 2016 just buy the game, I know your not gonna listen to me and I hope you as a consumer don't. I don't wanna some how hurt ID and all it's employees. I just want ID to make Doom Eternal into the masterpiece we all know it can be. That's all I have to say about that.… Expand

    So disappointed with this game. I was expecting something that built upon the feel and atmosphere of the Doom 2016 release. This lacks atmosphere and doesn’t feel like Doom. The sound and music are excellent and the only thing compatible to the 2016 game. This feels like a step backwards. An unintuitive and frustrating experience; not hard, just frustrating.

Doom 2016 was a masterpiece, it brought me a lot of joy to play through the first time and again last month in preparation for Eternals release.

I needed this game, things are tough for everyone right now and this was a little light along the way until I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. They managed to take the few things I didn’t like about Doom 2016 and ramp them up to the max. This mechanic of using a particular weapon to get a certain item type in a fight takes away about 3/4 of any strategy from a shooter. Melee attack? Nope, not anymore it just pushes them. Critical attack so you could just polish them off immediately? Nope they flash every time to give you the opportunity to get health so you get to pop them again. Oh and let’s lower the ammo counts so you HAVE to use these REVOLUTIONARY mechanics. And get ready to do some spinning!! Cuz our frenetic next generation game is gonna HABITUALLY spawn enemies behind you. The graphics are good, the music is AMAZING. You get to see Doom guys face, and thats...just...whatever. In 2016 I’d gather my ammo make my plan, try to gather what armor I could, then open up the gore nest and get to work. Now it’s just spin around go through each weapons paltry amount of ammo, chainsaw, ammo, rinse and repeat. And the whole world loves it. Guess it’s time for Grandpa to take a nap, this game makes me tired, sure wish I’d have bought 60 dollars worth of toilet paper instead of this.… 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

The music is spectacular, you feel it ramp up every time you kill a demon! And in my opinion there isn’t a better fps on the market. Doom Eternal is for me a 666 out of 10 would definitely recommend.

The presentation i very decent, good texture cuality, excelent models and animations, shinig on executions and general movement of Demons, also has a good amount of details, like an improved particle physics effect. A really DECENT art direction, at time gorgeous, that reminds me Barlowe´s Inferno artstyle, mixed with Sci-fi look. With a good taste on Lore content, the game offers a depth view of the extended DOOM universe, full of EasterEggs for fans and non fans.
    Gameplay was something i fear, no for the movement, but for the even more arcadish feeling of the trailers...specially with the addon of a more "guide-HUD" with colors and too much info on the screen at times...it can be a bit tedious and break your inmersion on the game, specially when you are figthing a group of demons, a new one appears and smultaneously there are collectives near...the screen gets of indicators and can hide enemys. BUT, it is a minor defect to pay, where the general game is an oda to old DOOM titles, specially DOOM 64. I love the fact that you now have to attack parts on the enemys, and their dismembrament, that gives Soldier of Fortune Nostalgia at times.

    All packed on a well optimished jewel IDthech7 engine.

    To end one big reccomendation: Be agressive with the little ones and attack frontal...but play more dash with biggers and use fast cover and shoot, jump, look for it´s back...remember, they are evil,but you will be worse.    … Expand

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

    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.
