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.

    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

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

    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.

For instance, I was just trying to play a match with my friend but we ran into these people who were just absolutely sweating at the game. So be careful about that.

    **** 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.

    This game is a blast! If you like shooters and a bit of a challenge, then you should pick up this game. Great combat, levels and weapons but the Marauders suck. Overall great game, one of my favorites.

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. The story I felt was great and the addition of cutscene was nice considering you can skip everything one not sure why anyone would have an issue with it. Overall if you like Doom you will most likely love Doom Eternal.… Expand

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

    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.

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

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

All of that but not a single new weapon? Even Doomguy's outfit suddenly went Gears of War... Power Ups, like Berserk, that made 2016 so fun are very few and far between. Really took the franchise from "have fun slaughtering your way through a sea of enemies" to "uber complex combat management" IMO, that's not DOOM. DOOM Eternal went completely the opposite of what made DOOM 2016 so much fun. Biggest letdown game in a long time for me.… 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

    Things that made 2016 Doom a masterpiece, have vanished. I get that lots of players like this game, and that's fine, everyone has their opinion, but as a huge 2016 fan, this sequel has left me heartbroken.

I get that lots of players like this game, and that's fine, everyone has their opinion, but as a huge 2016 fan, this sequel has left me heartbroken.

    1. Simplicity has gone. FPS games were pretty stale in 2016, Doom showed that a back-to-basics approach, with AAA graphics and artist-driven soundtrack and simple controls, could be a welcome refuge from all the "innovation" we see from other games. It was a pure experience. Eternal convolutes things and so ruined its USP.

    2. Not as dark as its predecessors. Although Doom 2016 was satirical and subtle in its storytelling, the environments were extra-gory and the soundtrack evocative, but Eternal fails to hit those notes. The environments are smaller, and that detracts from the maze-like intricacy of its predecessor. In Doom 2016, the environments convinced you that everything was quite normal a half-an-hour ago, only for Hell to have arrived and smear blood everywhere.

    3. Combat is fundamentally different, and not for the better. Doom 2016 is the superior game because the player is given freedom in combat and movement. While platforming is more noticeable in Eternal, it isn't why we want to play. Its a "shooter" not a runner and a climber. While these elements are not inherently bad, they are not there to enhance the player, but rather to help the player escape. Doom 2016 was no reloading and no cover. Eternal effectively has both. Chainsaw mechanic is reloading, effectively, and the platforming is "cover". This is a fundamental change, and defys any game with a Doom label on it, by definition.

    4. The interruptions!!! Towards the end of a battle, the game opens a door somewhere, and switches from the FPS perspective to the door opening. Utterly pointless. The levels are linear anyway, there's often only one way in and one way out, so why tell us that the door has opened. For that matter, why tell us that we should explore for secrets when every secret is clearly marked on the map? The mystery is gone, the exploration non-existent, and the levels...compared to 2016...are poor.

    5. The Lore. The lore was a wonderful way to flesh out the Doom Universe, I think it's a great idea, but in Eternal the execution is poor. The font is wrong, the layout messy, the colours are all garish. It ruins the "dark" vibe from the previous game, and seems geared towards people who are into psychedelics rather than some well-executed hellscape. Rainbow coloured ammo? Just stupid.

    The game suffers immensely because its predecessor was and remains singularly exceptional. It's not easy to top a game like that, and in truth, it rarely happens, but one thought it could with Doom because the formula was so simple and so good, and because the devs, like Hugo Martin, gave in-depth interviews about what they thought a Doom game should be. What happened?!

    The low rating is an emotional reaction, I'm heartbroken that one of the best games in a decade or so has been trashed the way it has. Is it better than a CoD game? Of course! But it's not better than Doom 2016.    … Expand

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.

    The game is nothing like the DOOM 2016 game. DOOM Eternal is terrible. Poor coloring, poor HUD, terrible upgrade system, controls seem laggy throughout the entire playthrough. And platforming.. ¡REALLY!? This entire game was a waste of design and money.

    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.

    They couldn't deside whether it was a platformer, action game, puzzle or RPG. Boring monotone gameplay where most things just fail. Loved the previous Doom, but this is by far the worst Doom game.

    boring because unbalanced and too hard, due to a very punitive autosave system. in the long run it is boring and stressful to repeat the same level 100 times. imo no good when games become like unpaid jobs

    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.

    Stand still and you will die. You must always keep moving. That's about all this game has to offer that is "DOOM."

    DOOM Eternal is DOOM trying to be Quake Arena or Unreal Tournament, idk. "DOOM Raider" one reviewer called it. Who ever though that the platforming in this game was a good idea for DOOM needs to be fired. It absolutely kills the immersion and pace of the game. I'm    Stand still and you will die.

I'm the DOOM Slayer, not George of the f***ing Jungle.

    Like DOOM 2016 you move through the levels and hit demon hot spots where you are locked in combat for some time until everything is dead. The combat is uber fast paced, almost too much so for controllers (use mouse and keyboard if you can). My problem with the game though is the low ammo count offered you start out with. I am constantly having to chainsaw small enemies to get ammo, so I'm never able to actually chainsaw the bigger demons.

    Also the low amount of health and armor items available force you to constantly time shots to cause enemies to stagger for glory kills. I absolutely HATE when games do this, force you to play their way (the developer's way), not your way. I want to run around slaughtering and wrecking demons like every DOOM game to date was played, not be thinking about avoiding hurting them too much that they die without allowing me to get the glory kill to keep my health and armor up.

    I blew through DOOM 2016 in a couple days. Couldn't stop playing it but this game is such a disappointment I'm only playing for maybe an hour at a time and I go to something else. I'll keep it out of the red with 5 cause the combat can be fun and the soundtrack is metal as ever but I won't be recommending this to fans of classic style DOOM (again, which DOOM 2016 did much better at).    … Expand

    If it had all the positives of DOOM 2016 and was basically a level pack for that with maybe a couple of new weapons I would be perfectly happy but unfortunately whereas DOOM 2016 is a perfectly balanced game that mixed old school fast paced shooters with modern movement mechanics with an amazing art style and brilliant level design.

DOOM Eternal took most of that and changed things just enough where it's recognisable but just off.
    Because of the changes to the way ammo and armour work the game now has to spawn trash mobs in every fight for you to get ammo and armour out of which just annoy and get in the way. This is compounded by the fact you are constantly running out of ammo and having to find a track mob to get some ammo out of. This change is a joke and makes some weapons useless, the chaingun can fire for maybe 3 seconds before it runs out of ammo. Why they made this change is beggars belief.

    As soon as I started the game and saw it had a life system was a major red flag to me as they are an archaic mechanic that just screams "we couldn't balance the game" and boy my fears did not go far enough. Nearly Every single thing that they added in this over 2016 is worse, apart from the dash. The underground tentacles are just annoying and not fun to fight same goes for the Marauder and the handfull of other new enemies. Playing through this I was shocked at how much they had ruined from the previous game for no reason other than to be new, this game feels like the B team had to prove they were just as good. Not even mentioning Battle Mode because it's more of a joke than the multiplayer from the last game.    … Expand

    the sad thing is this setup would actually work quite well as a rpg or in the more story driven doom3.
    but cramming this convoluted nonsense in a fast paced arcade shooter is just the worst of both worlds. the graphics and animation and soundtrack are still quite nice but the gameplay is absolute garbage. just finished and uninstalled this and it was fun for about 3 minutes the rest was a chore. i completed doom 2016 multiple times and had a great time each playthrough but this goes on sale right away and certainly won´t be missed.    … Expand

    I have never been so disappointed with a sequel. It's like they took everything that made Doom 2016 great and tossed it out the window. Unnecessary platforming sections, ammo farming, and annoying and stupid mechanic where you have to target weak spots of enemies which disrupts the flow of combat. You run out of ammo way too quickly, and the difficulty is very unbalanced. I reallyI have never been so disappointed with a sequel.

    Doom Eternal is the most disappointing game I have ever played. The platforming is a disaster, the UI is garish and counter-intuitive, the cutscenes exist, melee probably should have been removed if they were gonna make it this weak.

The platforming is a disaster, the UI is garish and counter-intuitive, the cutscenes exist, melee probably should have been removed if they were gonna make it this weak. The dash, while good in theory makes normal movement feel slow which is exactly the opposite of how Doom should feel. And finally, the ammo management. The max ammo you can hold has been cut by more than half since Doom 2016. Insecure fanboys will shout (and I mean SHOUT) all kinds of justifications about this at you, but the fundamental issue is this: Doom eternal wants you play the game a very specific way. For all the talk about how it's "strategic" it forces you to adopt one very specific strategy--use all the ammo in all your guns then hunt down trash demon and chainsaw it for more ammo. There's two problems with this. First, I don't want to be forced into a specific way of playing the game. Second, the game does a TERRIBLE job telling you that that's the intended way to play and even worse job encouraging it. If you're going to make killing imps/possessed the name of the game, you should make it so they don't stop spawning until the big baddies are dead. And should make sure that they aren't on the other side of the arena than the mini-boss enemies. Having to turn around and sprint away from a mancubus so I can chainsaw an imp in some odd corner of the arena isn't just a limiting design decision; it's an objectively bad one and on that runs counter to the supposed "keep pushing forward nature of Doom."

    Again, the fanboys who can't stand hearing their precious criticized will tell you that this is so you can't rely on one weapon, but you don't need an ammo limit to do that anyway. The devs did a great job ensuring that each weapon has it's uses, you can't ignore any of them. In fact, the ammo limit hurts here, because often you're forced to use less-than-ideal weapons simply because they're the only ones with ammo.    … Expand

    Maybe it’s my fault for finishing Doom (2016) just before playing this. The platforming is killing this for me. It’s done competently enough, but it’s just not fun. Doom (2016) had some platforming, but it was toned down and kept with the flow of the game. Doom Eternal throws double jump, double dash, wall climbing, moving blocks, and dropping platforms before the end of    2.5 out of 5.

    Then there’s the changes in combat. Way too much focus on the weak point system. Again, maybe my fault, but I’m not that good of a shot. Chainsaw for ammo, flame thrower for armor. I had to laugh when I got to the first rune, encouraging players to figure out their play style when the game clearly wants you to play one specific way. I might come back to this game later, but I think I’ll have a better time hitting up the back catalog in the time being.    … 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.
