    Essentially a mess of a game trying to create a “thinking man’s action game” (said by the lead dev) out of what should be adrenaline focused, fast pace action. Ultimately what comes down to is that it doesn’t accomplish its own objective either because you will be just memorizing weaknesses and prioritize the high targets while keeping few fodders around for ammo instead of killing them indiscriminately like a Doom Slayer should be. They created a terrible mechanic for a game that didn’t need it. And to create the said delusion, they limit your ammo and your freedom to play. And to solve the low ammo issue, they introduced another dumb mechanic of infinitely respawning enemies. This approach is akin to say, The Elder Scrolls Six game hypothetically forcing players to do the main quest line first in order to promote “story driven game” by devs—destroying what made the previous series great. 0/10 to balance the fanboys.    … Expand

    I actually hate this game unfortunately! I loved 2016 and Doom 3. Even on the lowest difficulty I find it super frustrating! Please put in a Doom 2016 mode or an even lower difficulty with increased ammo. I will re-review if changes made. Super bummed it is so bad as I bought the collectors edition and now I am not looking forward to extra campaign missions.

    I downloaded the game to shoot and kill demons, not to jump around like a little girl. Biased, unbalanced game. Low amount of ammunition to kill swarm of demons. Rebuild celestial something mission can sod off. Jump pole dash line up with the yellow thing at the same time what the hell is this? Devs did a nice job to annoy people. So I did a nice job and gave them 0. Try and learn thatI downloaded the game to shoot and kill demons, not to jump around like a little girl. Biased, unbalanced game.

    I absolutely hate this game.
    This game is very niche made for a very specific audience or type of gamer which is absolutely not me.
    This game is just disgusting.

    Prodeus is better.

    The “movement shooter” aspects of this game should never be recreated. This feels more like a dance simulator than a FPS.

    Level design sucks. They took features out of the previous game because too many people were playing "wrong".

    Seriously, watch interviews with the developers. They made massive changes to the game because gamers were playing "wrong". In doom 2016, you could play how you wanted. In doom eternal, you can either play how the developers want, or you can quit. I'm a dad of 4. I want to play    Level design sucks.

    I'm a dad of 4. I want to play my action game. "No," says Bethesda. "Play like it's 1980 and you have nothing but free time!"

    Waste of my money.    … Expand

    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.
