    I'm not a competitive player. I like to sit down with a game to unwind after a long, busy, and stressful day at work. Doom Eternal is challenging, but more than anything else it's FUN. I catch myself smiling while I'm playing.

    Doom eternal is the absolute best fps I have ever played so far! This game expanded in every single way since the 2016 reboot@ the levels are absolutely incredible! The graphics are beautiful, the sound effects are awsome, the gun sounds are awsome, the enemy design's are absoluty amazingly done. This game isna must have if your a fps fan and its a 10 all day for me!

    Most tedious, most boring game of the year. Main character is a wimo, who can carry a couple of rounds and thats it. Instead of shooting, we are looking for ammo. Or jump on platforms. How could u screw doom up so badly? I dont belive all this favorable reviews. B must have paid for it.

    Gave it a second chance and its 10/10. I was wrong.

    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.

    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.

    A masterpiece. Everything has been Improved from doom 2016. More varied gameplay, faster paced without being overwhelming, larger level design, more engaging environments, a fantastic UI, great performance. The list goes on. This is without a doubt my favourite FPS campaign of all time. I haven't tried multiplayer yet, but i would have given it a 10 without any multiplayer at all.

    Bottom line:
    Doom 2016 was a fantastic reboot of the series and it made it seem it'd be hard if not impossible to top but Doom Eternal is the best sequel to a video game I can think of. It takes everything that worked with the original games and the reboot and enhances it. It does have some platforming sections which are pretty good ways to break up the action and it wasn't what I was expecting but it works well and creates a nice balance the pacing is fantastic and the level design even felt better than what was in the first one.

    If you liked the first one, you'll probably love this and if you have game pass it's on there, so give it a shot even if this isn't usually your type of game.

    The problem with idiots, however, is that there are too many of them, which is why this game only has a 7.4 user score when everyone else knows how great it is. There is literally not a SINGLE bad thing about this game and even Angry Joe gave it a 10, which is very rare. To all the idiots who gave it a crappy score, go play some more Minecrap or Animal Crossing and leave real games to men. I can't believe someone gave it a 5 because multiplayer is lackluster.....SORRY TO BUST YOUR BUBBLE BUT DOOM HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT MULTIPLAYER. Some other idiot also only gave it a 7 because there was too much going on for him to handle. What a pathetic excuse to rate a game. See what I mean about idiots? There are just too many of them out there.

    Sound and graphics are amazing on Xbox One X as well. 60 FPS average, with slight, almost unnoticeable hiccups here and there. Story is cool as well.

    This is a must buy for any FPS fan.

    My Doom Eternal review

    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.

    I have no negatives about this game at all so I'm giving the game a full score of 10/10

    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.

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

    **** masterpiece, this game will give you bigger erection than a whole box of viagra.
    Level design is excellent, music is outstanding and the brutality is overwhelming so much that you want to eat you cat.
    Can 100% recommend!

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

    Blood, guts, violence, and guns. You will grow chest as a man. This is where boys become men. Love the platforming. So many fun easter eggs and collectibles. Gameplay is pretty air tight. If you just want to play the game you can completely ignore the story if you wish. Every cutscene is skippable. My recommendation is to play on ultra-violence.
    It feels like the right amount of punishment

    It feels like the right amount of punishment without going over board. You do need To manage your ammo though or else you will die . If your just wanting to mindlessly kill things the easy difficulty is the best. If you want a tough challenge start with nightmare. My one and only complaint is about the marauders, but shooting them with the ballista then immediately following up with a super shotgun blast kills them in a few cycles

    This game is awesome, I finished it, I did the master levels and some online games.
    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.

    ah and the lore brought is insane but it's DOOM, so lore is irrelevant, unless ??

    the overly negative reviewers of this game get more attention than the positive one but ill give it a shot. Now when i say this don't get me wrong, DOOM 2016 was the best first person shooter back then.

But now doom eternal is the new best, it sets a higher bar and new precedent, not only in game play, but in movement mechanics, secrets and easter eggs, demon design, and to many other things to be listed within the word cap. Its colorful, its arcady, its fun and just great to look at. Makes doom 2016 look like crap in comparison. And to address some of the arguments made by some of the negative reviewers would also not fit in the word cap for the things i have to say about them. but the one thing i will address is "its to cartoony and arcady. if you loved the last game you are going to hate this one."

    1st) if you loved doom 2016 so much then i would assume that you would have followed the progression of eternal. and if you did do so the you would know that they were going to go with a more cartoony and arcady art style. if you want a gritty serious game you cans stick with cod, doom 3, and doom 2016, while me and the rest of us will have fun with this game.

    2nd) I know its not only me that loved doom 2016 and currently love doom eternal, right? i mean it kind of speaks for itself with the overly positive reviews and all.

    tl;dr) doom eternal is a good game. if you are thinking about buying it, just do it already.

    I made an account to leave this review. DOOM Eternal is one of the best games I have played in the last 5 years. ID has managed to innovate and create something original, new, fresh.

ID has managed to innovate and create something original, new, fresh. The first person shooter feeling becomes very strategic in how you kill your opponents. You need to manage your health, armor and ammo to stay alive. Sometimes that means killing your enemies in specific ways. Reinventing the run and gun campaign. You won't mindlessly shoot AI enemies, you will be forced to think fast or... die. A The campaign was very fun, challenging and something I'll be playing again.

    ....but the Marauder can be deleted from the games code. I mean that. It's a terrible enemy especially for this game. It is the only enemy that slows game play down to a crawl. And you do one mechanic against him; wait, get shot at see green eyes and shoot with a shotgun. Only a shotgun, any other gun is useless against him as far as I'm concerned. Delete that awful enemy, the fighting mechanic you make us do against him is not fun! Lastly I'd say that there is a lack of freedom in the game with the ammo, armor and health system. An alternative would have been nice, like a classic mode or something. DOOM fan boys will show their disgust with the system by rating 0's and leaving long ranted posts about how much they hate everything, don't listen to them ID Software! Great game! 10/10 amazingly fun campaign!

    After the umpteenth thousand dispatched demon you would think at least some of the pure, primal joy of demonic dismemberment might’ve worn off...but honestly it only gets better as you go along.

    This is my first DOOM game so I have nothing to compare this to. I thought it was amazing, and I beat it in a couple days. If you are having any issues with progression just read the notes, it’s super fun with the limitations they provide and having to conserve your resources. It appears they innovated with this game, and I think it was a huge win.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Initially I would've given this game a solid 8/10 on my first play-through for a variety of reasons that I blame myself for. From focusing too heavily on trying to get all the collectibles, to playing on a difficulty that became too easy as I progressed through, to even potentially hyping the game up too much in my head, to say I was slightly disappointed would be appropriate. However, after playing through the campaign again on a higher difficulty (ultra-violence), I can certainly say that the game has aged tremendously within the space of 3 months. The storyline is tremendous, with the Doom Slayer on his quest to save Earth from a full scale global wipe-out orchestrated by the Khan Mayker and her 3 Hell Priests! The level designs are brilliant, the enemies are fantastically unique and all pose a different threat, the weapons are so so awesome and the glory kills are once again f*cking BRILLIANT! For anyone that may have been somewhat disappointed after an initial play-through, I strongly recommend giving the game another go with a clearer mindset to enjoy the game properly. Personally, the addition of verticality and platforming in the game adds a whole new level of being smart and tactical about your next attack whilst being a new obstacle when progressing throughout the levels. So far I would pretty confidently name DOOM Eternal my 'Game of the Year' for 2020, with a final rating of 10/10. The future of the DOOM franchise is certainly one that will go down in history as a game changer, just like its 90's predecessor! 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.
