    É um bom jogo, apesar de eu ainda achar que a Bethesda deve rever seu conceito de gráficos, conseguiram produzir um ''Doom'' que realmente me divertiu, recomendo.

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. Thus this game is one of the best games I have ever played and id Software should feel very accomplished with this game.

If your just wanting to mindlessly kill things the easy difficulty is the best. If you want a tough challenge start with nightmare.

    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

    This is the distilled essence of the FPS genre made into a game. It's everything i could ever hope it to be (let alone actually expect), and more. I don't usually agree with perfect scores, but i think if any game on this generation deserves it, it's this one.

It's everything i could ever hope it to be (let alone actually expect), and more. I don't usually agree with perfect scores, but i think if any game on this generation deserves it, it's this one.

    It improves on its already very good predecessor in pretty much every way. It's action packed from start to finish, with the only breaks being the also pretty good platforming sections. In fact, this is the first time in my life I've seen platforming in first person games actually work. It's nothing too complex, and that's exactly why it works. There are zero issues with missed jumps due to deceiving physics or difficulty in judging distance, it was all very well thought out.

    Combat is perfection. The weapon sandbox is expansive, giving you many, many ways to deal with all the different threats the game tosses your way. Monsters have weaknesses that are made in a way to nudge you towards using all kinds of different weapons, but you're in no way forced to exploit them. You can just as well force your way through anything by just sticking to your favorite guns. That's excellent design. It doesn't punish those who don't play the way they intended, just rewards those who do. Personally, i love quick switching between the super shotgun and the balista. That combo melts just about anything that dares to step on your way, gives you super mobility AND keeps you charged up on armor. You basically become a god.

    The only really bad thing about this whole game is the purple goo. I hope that doesn't make a come back for the next game. Or at least let me boost and jump out of it. Because of that, my actual score for this game is 9.8

    There are some other minor complaints, such as balance issues, for instance i think the ray mod for the plasma gun is too weak and uses too much ammo to be of ANY use, but that's basically a nitpick and for most part most weapons and mods are viable.

    The game is challenging without being punishing (at least on normal and hard difficulties), and is a hell of a power trip when you get the hang of it. So much that i haven't wanted to switch difficulties even though i breeze through anything on the on i picked to play. I'd rather keep feeling like i'm this unstoppable force. But I'll eventually get through the game at least on nightmare difficulty, like i did doom 2016.

    I've already finished it on pc and xbox and i can't stop playing. I lost count of how many times I've gone through the arc complex master level. More of those already, please! This is the best part of the game since i don't have to worry about missing secret pickups or anything. It's just relaxing ripping and tearing all the way.

    Anyway, if you like gameplay-focused fps games, this is a must-have. It's... well it's certainly up there with the best, which to me were the classics (doom, doom2 and hexen). It might, dare i say, even surpass them. Not sure, nostalgia is a **** it won't allow me to just flat out state that. But it's a possibility.

    In short, this is the Ninja Gaiden Black of FPS games. It's the same kind of skill-based, challenging yet rewarding and addicting experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Take Doom 2016, give it a Supercharge and Quad Damage, and you have Eternal. 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

    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.

    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.
