    Devotees of the franchise and newcomers alike may find a lot to love in Bethesda and id Software's update of the classic shooter. Though, after a while, the gameplay itself may get a bit redundant, there's still a smooth, well-oiled nature to the combat that just kept me coming back, day after day. An imperfect, yet still eminently enjoyable action romp.

    I'm a huge DOOM fan since the original. I've played the whole series plus a ton of custom WADs. Bethesda did a great job recreating a modern DOOM. It has a lot of nostalgic moments (especially the Hell levels) and they added a solid mix of new gameplay. I wish the campaign was a little bit longer though. I haven't delved into the multiplayer yet so I can't comment on that.

    Doom is a modern version of an iconic, classic shooter. It's fast paced, has satisfying combat, and above all, it's fun. This is one of the better campaigns in a fps I've played in awhile. While more could have been done with the multiplayer, it's still fun and has a very classic arena shooter feel to it.

    Doom is back in it's all mighty gore / fun styled adventure. The game is no insult to the franchise and instead is a solid update with fun shooting and platforming sections within it, If you've never played a Doom game before this is a great game to start with, the levels are so atmospheric, the enemies a worth splitting open and overall it's gory ride from start to finish.

I've had no issues with the controls as they seem typical to any other FPS. The soundtrack is fantastic and the ambient sounds are creepy. The enemy A.I. is super smart and the enemies will come after you. In order to survive this hellish nightmare you must run and gun, if you stand still--you will die. There is no time for strategy or memorizing enemy routines. Almost everything in the game can be upgraded in various ways (which is great for me). One point to keep in mind if your considering this game: it requires patience, you will die often regardless of your skills with other FPS games, luckily there are checkpoints scattered about. This game is more akin to the original Doom so it is nothing like Doom 3 (which some people have complained about) and has replay value (due to all the collectibles and trials) but once you've had your fill of the main Campaign sadly there is little left. In conclusion, if you are a COD, Destiny, Halo, or Battlefield fan then you will probably hate this game due the intensity and hardcore nature of this beast. Its basically a Run like Hell - kill anything that moves - don't stop running until the end credits roll, type of game that shows you no mercy--ever. Definitely a bloody good time while it lasts.… Expand

    Hands down my favorite game for Xbox 360 or Xbox One! I grew up playing the original DOOM games and this is the style of shooter we've been missing for nearly a decade: gore, violence, dash of story, and arcade-style play. I've played this game start to finish about 5 times. Doesn't get old. Also a great stress reliever.

    Fast paced, interesting story, intuitive controls, and a wide range of enemies. I'm playing this game a bit late, but it deserved more mainstream recognition, the multiplayer is awesome too, although it seems as if the player base has dwindled, leaving it tough to find a match.

    D. Story - 5
    the only down point in the game.
    I know what most of people say about this. that this game doesn't need a story and I tend to agree, because the gameplay, stunning audio and visuals makes up for everything else. BUT never the less for a AAA 2016 game it should have a more decent story and it is quit a shame and disappointment considering the potential of pretty interesting lore. they could also throw some bad-ass cut scenes, why so cheap ?

    E. Content Vs. Value - 8
    this is not on open game so naturally it is not that long. but aside from the campaign there are classic and arcade maps that you can and will replay again and again thanks to the Awesome OST like already mentioned before. there are secrets and collectables to find, weapon upgrades and challanges to complete.

Hard Crashes and much more **** that ruins your experience and makes you think why did I even bother with this game. even after whole year some games still have a lot of issues and no one bothers to fix them because they are busy releasing a DLC which will probably have the same issues. why do people accept this kind of crap *face-palm* .    … Expand

    With the release of Doom VFR, we thought we’d look back at the last main entry of the series. How does one go about rebooting the granddaddy of the first person shooting genre? By taking what made the original, which still holds up well today no less, and cranking everything to the max. Everything from the catchy industrial soundtrack to the trademark gore has been improved.

    You’ll    With the release of Doom VFR, we thought we’d look back at the last main entry of the series. How does one go about rebooting the granddaddy of the first person shooting genre? By taking what made the original, which still holds up well today no less, and cranking everything to the max. Everything from the catchy industrial soundtrack to the trademark gore has been improved.

    You’ll begin the game already on Mars, having been connected to a strange machine that someone, or something, placed the player in. Our unnamed protagonist quickly arms himself and sets out on a journey of destruction through Mars and the very pits of Hell. Unlike Doom 3, the game puts the story on the backburner in favor of a simple premise that focuses more on fast paced action than slow exposition. There is plenty of story available, but it’s optional.

    Much like the original, the game runs at breakneck speed. If you stop moving, particularly in a firefight, you will die quickly. Unlike most modern FPS games, you don’t have a regenerating health bar, so you will rely on seeking out health kits as well as using the new finishing moves that have been implemented in this iteration. After taking a set amount of damage, most enemies will begin flashing which is your signal to get in close for the kill. These are satisfying and needed to replenish small amounts of health.

    You’ll find all of your original tools of destruction are present and accounted for. The biggest change to the arsenal is the addition of secondary firing modes, which are unlocked and upgraded by completing challenges in the campaign; some are a bit grindy, but worth the work. The only disappointment was that the chainsaw, which was a personal favorite, is now a pick up with a limited amount of fuel.

    Much like the original, each level features a number of secret areas and short cuts, which rewards the player for exploration. You’ll find upgrades for your armor, weapons, as well as a small number of collectibles and the newly added runes. Finding a rune will unlock a short challenge, which if successful, unlocks an upgrade that can be used in the main campaign.

    If you missed any collectibles or secrets, you are able to use the chapter select to head back with your newly acquired upgrades. The only low point of the campaign is the lackluster boss fights, which essentially set you loose in an arena against one of the game’s bigger enemies. These are more frustrating than fun, as the bosses are essentially large bullet sponges with a limited number of attacks, some of which are instant kills, leading to plenty of unfair deaths. Thankfully, there are only a few of these encounters.

    In addition to the standard campaign, which clocks in around six to eight hours depending on your skill and selected difficulty, you have the option to play each completed level in the post release addition of the Arcade mode. This is similar to a score attack mode, limiting the player to certain weapons and removing any unlocked upgrades, leveling the playing field for those who wish to partake in the leaderboards.

    On the multiplayer front, there are a number of options as well. While the PVP arena isn’t as populated as it was at launch, I was still able to connect to a game after a short wait. The multiplayer suite offers the standard game modes found in most FPS games. These modes are just as fast paced as the single player campaign, and in full lobbies can be fun despite the fact you will die and die often. Unlike most of the FPS counterparts, I found myself often laughing at my failures opposed to getting frustrated, which is a nice change.

    I’ve spent the most time in the multiplayer arena playing with the new Snap Map feature, which allows players to create their own levels using a number of easy to use tools. They can then be uploaded for the community or friends to play. With hundreds of options available with varying levels of quality, there are a limitless number of replay options offered here. This feature also allows us the option to use old school visuals with the newly modeled enemies as well as to create a party with up to 3 friends for some co-op shenanigans.

    While the game is lacking the survival horror element that was introduced in the last entry, it is a well-made shooter worthy of any gamer’s collection; especially those of us who are familiar with the original’s brand of ultra-violence.    … Expand

Now going off topic here, usually you when some people are in a bad mood they like to listen to calm music or look at cute things to feel better.

Splattering Demons is not only satisfying, but also rewarded with health and special abilities.

Most upgrades and levels have small combat tasks that are typically brief enough to avoid excessive grinding.

    On top of this there are bonus levels and challenges carefully hidden in the maps, perfectly balanced with the multiple difficulty modes. There's so much to do in DOOM, to the point where I haven't even tried the map creator or multiplayer mode yet, and I still feel like I got more than my money's worth.

    Developers did the impossible, faithful to the classic, delivered. What a ride. My only "complaint" is you're supposed to feel like a demon killing badass but this whole game I felt like I was running for my life. I guess I could have turned down the difficulty but then it felt too easy, haha, I guess I enjoy pain.

    A **** crazy game that is an absolutely masterpiece that you must play, is DOOM at his best, really frenetic and difficult, with a lot of violence and gore and the glory kills that are gorgeous. Common and lets rip and tear some demons.

    Doom Xbox One (Review Date 20.01.2019)

    11h 35min action at its finest. You did it, I liked it very much and it's the perfect shot for in between. Gameplay, soundtrack and atmosphere are very good and always a lot of fun.

    The story is fine.

    Pros
    Multiplayer is tons of fun to play when you get people in a lobby
    Campaign has a great story long but not too long
    The secret levels are fun to find as well as the collectable doom dolls and the upgrades
    Cons
    Multiplayer doesn't mmediately started even with 4 people in the lobby
    Overall its still worth getting as of now though you might not get that many people multiplayer

    So many games are cover shooters that have you hide behind a rock for 15 minutes at a time. DOOM has you running into battle headfirst. Cover fire means certain death. Keep moving, quick and efficiently. I love it. It's a great change of pace. -1 point since story is a bit light so far, but still early in the game.

    I put 27 hours and 9 mins into this game.

    SnapMap + You can make your own maps + you can add the in game music to play when the person who is playing it does something. +- Can be a bit confusing at first, and takes a little getting used to - The maps you make are actually kind of small, and you cannot put that many items/demons. - Not as good as the “Timesplitters: Future Perfect”    I put 27 hours and 9 mins into this game.

    SnapMap
    + You can make your own maps
    + you can add the in game music to play when the person who is playing it does something.
    +- Can be a bit confusing at first, and takes a little getting used to
    - The maps you make are actually kind of small, and you cannot put that many items/demons.
    - Not as good as the “Timesplitters: Future Perfect” mapmaker.
    + You can play maps created by other people
    + You can ALSO share your OWN maps!

    Multiplayer
    + Actually really fun, balanced. (So Far)
    + Taunts are super funny (well…most)
    + Being a demon is AWESOME!
    - There is barely or ANY background music during games, making hard for me to play multiple matches at a time.
    + You can customise you loadouts, hack modules (perks), and how your character looks in game.

    TDM
    -+ Your Average Team Death Match, get to 75 kills
    You can also use the DEMON RUNE.

    Soul Harvest
    Like “Kill Confirmand” in Call Of Duty.
    Get points by killing an enemy and take their “soul”
    Deny the enemy getting points by collecting your dead teammates “Soul”
    When you are a demon the people you kill drop two “souls”
    Pretty fun, and there is a lot more “Demon Rune” spawning in (Although it is limited to only one person having it at once)

    Domination
    Capture and defend three positions. First team to 250 points wins. (or the most points when the time limit is reached.)
    Demon Rune seems to spawn a little less than the others.
    Its actually really fast pace compared to Call Of Duty and Battlefield.

    Warpath
    Like “king of the hill” or “Hardpoint” in other games, but the objective moves around constantly
    You can points pretty fast
    You capture and lose the objective fast.
    First team to 250 points wins

    Clan Arena
    Kill the other team, only one life (don’t waste it)
    Fast paced, fun.
    No demon rune I believe

    Freeze Tag
    Like tdm, only one life, instead of dying you “freeze” and your teammates can “Thaw” you out and you respawn and fight again!
    Actually a lot of fun, and you look funny while you are frozen.
    No demon rune that I am aware of.
    Might be my favourite
    Story (I was playing on “Ultra-Violence) Lots of stuff to do, many ways to play, although you pretty much ALWAYS have to keep moving. Glory kills are awesome, although they get less and less cooler the more times you do it. Story is actually pretty interesting. Graphics are pretty nice. It is pleasant to look at this game. The gameplay is smooth and FAST! Music is **** sexy. 2 of the bosses are AWESOME, although the FIRST one is my favourite. There are a lot of collectables (which might be sort of a nightmare for those 100%ers) Lots of secrets that are actually WELL hidden, I actually did not find that many of them. Enemies are actually pretty smart and attack you like **** (Occasionally they’ll be dumb and do stupid **** like stand there and eat bullets) Maps are well designed, and actually make you think, instead of just following a set path, you have to traverse the land to move forwards (IE Jump here, duck here, get key cards, ) It can be sort of repetitive after a while. The final boss is kinda…not fun. It’s really cheap and almost no skill involved to kill it , a lot of luck in my opinion. Which sucks because the OTHER bosses are actually a LOT of fun!

    For those reviews that say "There's no story etc" I say this: Read. The. Codexes. Especially for the enemies, they fill in so much back story as to why the demons and possessed do what they do. I know it's a foreign concept "reading in a FPS? nah brah" but trust me, it's worth it and can even give you a strategic advantage sometimes.

    Although some fans may have been disappointed over the fact that this was not DOOM 4 like some may have expected, it's important to note that at least this was not a simple visual upgrade to the original PC game of 1993 either.

Weapons and demons appear somewhat to be homages of the original but this game appears to boost an entirely new story/campaign, (which may have been expected by some.) It has been over ten years since the release of DOOM 3 for the original Xbox and PC so expectations may have been high for this game.

    This latest console generation version of DOOM is arguably far different than that of DOOM 3, (Xbox or PC), since it boasts a shoot 'n' move mentality or style of game-play which some compare to the first two doom titles released back in the 90's. What adds even more strategy to the game-play is the glory kills which reward you for severely damaging demons but not killing them, (providing you move up in time while they're staggered and vulnerable and press down on the right thumb stick in time.) This often provides health pickups and ammo to help keep you alive while accessing the environment for more kills or where to move next. This may not seem too impressive considering that it gets easier the more you do this, but weapon upgrades, (which are purchasable during game-play), boost your odds of surviving tediously challenging checkpoint sequences that can often and easily take several minutes at a time to complete. Weapon upgrades include, but are not limited to a tactical scope for your heavy assault rifle and charged bursts for at least either of the two shotguns. Your character also has access to a grenade which he can throw only once every few minutes, (so you need to be smart when choosing where and when to throw it and who to use it against depending on what demons you're facing.) You'll also eventually have access to a chainsaw, (of course), which only has three units of fuel and needs to be replenished after all are used. It only works on the smaller of the demons so this should not be relied on too often. Demons move just about as quick as you for the most part and you are often both heavily outnumbered by them and also out in the open which explains how difficult the game can be on the moderate difficulty. The moderate difficulty is actually nicknamed "Hurt me plenty" so it's not to be taken lightly by any means so to speak. A wall/cover system would help you greatly but this would differ too greatly from the gaming experience of the first three games.

    I like the arcade mode fairly well considering how easy it is to get stuck on the campaign mode without any walk through or strategy guide. You should be warned that it's fairly challenging and can be frustrating considering your multiplier rating will be reduced when demons inflict damage on you. It takes quite a bit of practice to even get a bronze medal considering you need 4,600,000 points for that in one specific section or level just for that! I recommend this to avid DOOM or first person shooter fans.    … Expand

    The level environments are superb, particularly the Hell levels. id Software have been able to create a truly unique, grim and morbidly beautiful world to serve as a backdrop for slaughtering demons of hell spawn. The level design does away with the more linear, railroading levels in favour of open ended maps with key hunting which is more akin to the previous instalments of the DOOM franchise.

    Further more, while double jumping is a new addition to DOOM, it still features the smooth, fast-paced, punchy, visceral combat of it's predecessors. The "glory kills" and chainsaw murders never cease to be gruesome and rewarding.

    The musical score is downright awesome; Mick Gordon is a musical mastermind and it really adds to the intensity and the adrenaline rush of demon slaying.

    The game starts off a bit challenging, even on normal difficulty, as it's easy to get overwhelmed by monsters during combat, but towards the end I thought the game was getting kind of easy, once I had levelled up Doom guy and his weapons. Game play tip: as soon as you get the "Chain Gun", unlock the "Mobile Turret" attachment. I can reliably cut down enemies like I'm mowing the lawn with this upgrade.

    There is a plot to this game, but I didn't really pay much attention to it. Frankly, DOOM is much better served when it's outright demon slaying as oppose to reading flavour text and watching cutscenes.

    Overall, DOOM is a game that's pretty easy to pick up and play. Pop it in for a few hours of stress relief and enjoy the intense, fluid combat mechanics. It's largely faithful to it's predecessors and it's a game that I can fully recommend.    … Expand

    TL:DR.... If you've ever cared about Doom before and you're even slightly interested in checking this out just stop waiting for the major publisher reviews to come out and go buy it. I would say at least rent it but you'll probably just buy it afterwards anyways and make the game a bit more expensive for yourself.

I would say at least rent it but you'll probably just buy it afterwards anyways and make the game a bit more expensive for yourself.

    This game is really hard to stop playing! I'll get that out of the way right now. That being said, it's very clear that id and Bethesda set out to replicate the style of game play seen in classic Doom and Doom 2 with the newest. They totally succeeded in my humble opinion. The demons will make you feel very claustrophobic with how they swarm you and to offset what would almost surely be a swift crushing of your soul you've got the glory kills which render you invincible long enough to violently dismember a staggered enemy and get health back. And the glory kills are very contextual too, it's not just one unique kill per enemy type, no, each enemy type has different glory kills but each enemy type has different glory kills according to where you're at in reference to them as well. It's kinda like how the stealth kills worked in Tenchu: Stealth Assassins.... Only they're typically done amidst absolute chaos.The flow of combat is kinda like I'd expect carrying the world's largest bucket of water and dumping it on your head periodically as you run through a blazing fire to keep from being engulfed to feel like.

    The weapons come in at a steady pace and if you keep an eye out for secrets you'll have a formidable arsenal fast too. Everything's upgradeable, even right down to your suit, and the upgrades aren't just cheesy damage increases either. You can make your shotgun shoot explosive shells and you can mount a rocket launcher to your assault rifle to name a couple examples. I'm about five levels in so no I haven't beaten it yet but(that would suck if I had) I've seen enough to know how I'm going to feel about the game. It should also be said that I haven't touched the multiplayer, but I bought Doom for the campaign anyway as I imagine most of us probably did. Truthfully as good as the campaign is, if the multiplayer is only merely passable this game still earns an 9 in my book and I'll nail down exactly why that is right now.

    The game has brought back virtually everything I loved about the old school Doom games... AND they didn't ignore the creepy, dark atmosphere that made Doom 3 such an awesome(but unique)addition to the series either. Seriously, you even end up picking up those red, blue and yellow keycards. Which nobody cares about, I'm sure, but the point is that's the kind of attention to detail that went into making this game as faithful an addition to the Doom series as could be. Powerups, numeric health bar, numeric armor bar, full weapon arsenal(as opposed to only being able to carry two guns at a time), bloody, dark, visceral, creepy. I'd go as far as to say that if you've ever liked a Doom game before, any Doom game, you're gonna love this, unless maybe you were expecting an interactive movie cause this is all game. There is a story and it's a pretty cool one too but about 90% of it is found in the codex entries you pick up(everything's got a codex entry too, so there's plenty to learn about everything from your guns to the levels to each individual monster). This game is all game. Everything your character does, he does because your fingers told him to do it. That said, if you're expecting this game to be a clone of the Call of Battlefield formula we see so much of(don't get me wrong, I like em both but I resent the idea that every FPS has to follow that format) you're gonna be disappointed. This is Doom, through and through. No scripted Call of Duty stuff here. And judging from the pace of the revelations so far I'm guessing the campaign's gonna be pretty meaty in terms of length.

    So yeah, on the strength of the campaign alone it's worth it. If the multiplayer is even passable I'd even go up to a 9.5 score and as for the whole snapmap business? Sounds pretty robust to me. It does have a strong touch of old school flair about it, I'm not gonna lie, but how that's applied couldn't be more welcome. Well.... I hope you're getting the idea here. This is the kind of game I'm happy to give day one support to.    … Expand

    id Software has resurrected the Doom series.

It doesn't matter how long you've been gaming. Whether you grew up playing Doom or not isn't a factor as just about everyone is sure to findid Software has resurrected the Doom series. They manage to modernize it just enough to attain relevancy with today's gaming crowd while simultaneously hanging on to the now old-school qualities that made the series so great in the first place. It doesn't matter how long you've been gaming. Whether you grew up playing Doom or not isn't a factor as just about everyone is sure to find something to love in this new Doom's campaign.

    There's no ducking for cover here and waiting for your health to recharge. You want to live, you get out there and fight. What's great about Doom is that requires you to stay constantly involved in the action. There may be some health canisters here and there, but when you're running low in the middle of the carnage the only way to get your health back up is to tear your enemies apart. The new "Gory Kill" system encourages you to get violent. Performing one of these finishers will cause the defeated enemy to drop health and occasionally ammo. The gorgeously violence of these moves makes them even more appealing.

    Doom is a brutal game. One that delights in it's gore. The more savage you are on the hoards of hell and the more you are rewarded. It's a very satisfying loop that really puts an emphasis on literally fighting for survival. The arena style combat is immensely satisfying. It really does make the game feel like a modernized version of the classic.

    To also help capture the feel of the originals the levels are riddled with secrets and branching paths that hearken back to the maze-like levels of yesteryear. Exploring the other paths away from your objectives in order to hunt for loot on Mars leads to kind of an open-world feeling at times. The map system is a bit confusing and I get turned around once or twice, but I never got lost for significant periods of time like I did in the original.

    Some modern touches to spice up the campaign include upgrade systems for your weapons, armor, and Doom guy himself. It feels a little odd and out of place at first, but really helps out later in the game when things ramp up. It's worth exploring to find the necessary things to bulk up.

    The almost non-stop action of the campaign is one of it's greatest strengths. New enemies and weapons are steadily introduced, there are a few great boss battles, and it even manages to slip in some surprisingly decent first-person platforming. It's just the right length too. It ends just as the constant action makes you start to say "okay, this is enough." They knocked it out of the park with the campaign. Truly succeeding at merging old-school gameplay with modern sensibilities.

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to test out the multiplayer due to issues with my Xbox One refusing to give me an open NAT despite my best efforts. While I can't give my personal opinion I can kind of pass on what everyone else is saying. The general consensus is that, while not really bad, Doom's multiplayer doesn't live up to the single-player portion of the game and likely won't hold your attention for long. Even if the mode was flat out bad though, it wouldn't do much to hurt the overall package. Doom's single-player offerings are so satisfying that the multiplayer practically inconsequential to the overall value of the game.

    Even if the multiplayer ends up not being your thing you still don't need to worry about the longevity of the package. The "SnapMap" mode which allows you to make and share user created content has you covered. The tools are easy to use and allow for a lot of depth. The potential creations that can come and already have from this mode are sure to keep you coming back for more satisfying single-player (or cooperative) action.

    Simply put Doom covers just about every aspect you could think of. It's got a highly replayable campaign, excellent source of user created content, and multiplayer. It also successfully revives the Doom series for a new generation while staying true to the formula. It really does feel like classic Doom, only modernized. The campaign alone is enough to cement Doom as one of the best FPS games to come out in years. In a time where FPS gams put more attention on multiplayer and offer meager single-player experiences, Doom shows up once again and gives gamers a campaign worth raving over and shows us that Master Chief isn't the only space marine in green armor that deserves our attention.    … Expand

    Multiplay is a lot of fun also. Soul Harvest is my favorite. The customization is crazy lots of armor pieces to win and customize with color, pieces, patterns same for the weapons too. It keeps you interested in he one more game approach in hopes to get that cool piece of armor and such.

    Snap map is a breeze but also provides deep tools for you to use but the one thing that is UNACCEPTABLE to me is no bots to check multiplay maps to test out new modes you might event. Even COD has bots in the game. This makes a game that is a 9 drop down to a 7 due to the fact of leaving out an a very important tool in customizing. I do think it was taken out due to a season pass that you have to buy to get everything. Maybe they are too scared the user base will out make their creations. Besides like other games that seperate the user base with pay for map packs this game will be hot for a few months but Im pretty sure by the release of the last pack most interest will be lost as the gamers have moved on to other experiances.    … Expand

The single player is the reason to play the game. While the story is anything but original its the way the Doom Marine interacts with everything that really gives it the flair it needs. In short, he wants to destroy everything that is associated with Hell and he doesn't care who gets in his way when he does it. The weapons are fun to use and some of the add-ons for the guns are good. I really wish, other than the couple of addons for certain guns, that you could precise aim with a button push but it is something you can get used too after a bit of playing. There are a ton of collectibles in the game, which I found myself going back and replaying to get everything. The only knock I can put on the game is the multiplayer and how boring it is.

    Doom is excellent. Im not gonna lie here, my initial expectations were low, I expected a slow pace modern wannabe shooter consistent with the quality of games ID put up recently. I was blown away, I am a massive fan of the series and saw that this doom was everything I wanted. It is fast-paced, gore filled fun that only doom can deliver. My original guess was that it was going to pander toDoom is excellent.

I was blown away, I am a massive fan of the series and saw that this doom was everything I wanted. It is fast-paced, gore filled fun that only doom can deliver. My original guess was that it was going to pander to console players by making it slower ( I thought this after I saw the scroll wheel that slowed down game play.) It has been a long while since I have seen a shooter with intelligent map design, design which rewards players for playing the game at a faster pace, in fact I rarely found myself stopping in between combat, if at all. There is secrets galore in this game to. Not only that but the game itself is absolutely beautiful. From the large bosses to the small imps for pistol fodder every part of the game does not lack in design, This game reinvigorated my faith in ID. The online has obviously improved since the beta (Its great, i didn't get the chance to play the beta but I heard complaints) With a larger selections of weapons. In fact I see so many modding possibilities for the multiplayer on PC. After playing leagues and leagues of modern shooters this is the most refreshing multiplayer I have played in a while and will suck in hours and hours of my time I haven't really played around with snap map yet, but Ill be looking forward to it!. Anyway this reinvigorated the franchise and will forever be known as a classic, Amazing job id, i look forward for more… Expand

    I have been a DOOM fan since being introduced as a kid via floppy disk. Fortunately my preorder gifted the original first two! I played these in the hours prior to launch and it was just as fun and challenging today. Once the game unlocked I was immediately hooked. You must move to survive.

    I have been a DOOM fan since being introduced as a kid via floppy disk. Fortunately my preorder gifted the original first two! I played these in the hours prior to launch and it was just as fun and challenging today.

    Once the game unlocked I was immediately hooked. You must move to survive. The graphics and presentation are great as well as the sound track.

    If you want a fast pace shooter without reloading or sprinting amongst an absolutely brutal theme this is a must buy. The gun play and brutal takedowns are extremely satisfying.

    If you are a classic doom fan you will appreciate the hidden levels scattered throughout.

    Really happy with how this turned out!    … Expand

    In the upcoming sequels (because let's face it, we know that they're already in development), please bring back a strong element of horror. I believe Guillermo Del Toro would be a fantastic asset for horror consultation. If you decide to go that route, I'd love to see the path this takes.

    While we won't go anywhere near as far to say that this online facing side of the game is an afterthought, it doesn't carry with it the same sense of intense playtesting and meticulous detail as the solo campaign.

    A tremendous return for an all-time great. Doom feels so fresh by being so old-school. [July 2016, p.75]
