    Not on the same level as Doom 3 or Resurrection of Evil. This is just a mindless, overly-fast-paced "dude bro" style shooter. If running around and breezing through enemies is your thing, you'll love this garbage. If you liked the survival horror style of things that Doom 3 provided, then you will be extremely let down by this game.

    I had been waiting so long for a Doom 4. I was so

    I had been waiting so long for a Doom 4. I was so excited. What a letdown. :(

    FINALLY a fast paced fps, with an incredible soundtrack made by the one and only Mick Gordon, i've been waiting so damn much for an "old" style fps, with big non linear level and lots of gore :D

    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.

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

    Absolutely brutal, frenetic and gore. Amazing graphics, beautiful soundtrack and effects a gorgeous campaign and very good gameplay. It´s doom the father of FPS games.

    This game is fantastic on every level. Score highly on every front. what stands out is gameplay, sound & music, graphics, presentation.
    The secrets are neat, like original doom secrets. The multiplayer is expansive, and snapmap is one of the best level editors for console.

    The game is damn fun. And immersive. Doom (2016) makes doom 3 look really quite poor.

    Well about 1hr into the Campaign I can already tell you, this one is going to go out of the Ball Park. If this is your first FPS you have won the lotto if it isn't you are going to be treated to the best looking and playing FPS since the original Doom.

Everything oozes polish here from all the detail in the textures, screams in the distance to the ambient sounds you can tell they put their heart and soul into this title and wasn't about to F-UP this iconic of iconic franchises.

    It runs well on mediocre hardware the game is highly optimized and looks Stunning!

    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

    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!

    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]
