    Just finished the game on Ultra-violence. Game took me roughly 8 hrs. It was my first playthrough. I'll go over a couple points.

    tl;dr - The game is solid, but has several issues. If you're a fan of Quake, DOOM, Serious Sam, Bullet Storm, etc. play the game. Keep in mind that this game is trying to recreate 25 year old gameplay. Nothing incredible. (6.5-7.5 out of 10) PROS: - Nice    Just finished the game on Ultra-violence. Game took me roughly 8 hrs.

    tl;dr - The game is solid, but has several issues. If you're a fan of Quake, DOOM, Serious Sam, Bullet Storm, etc. play the game. Keep in mind that this game is trying to recreate 25 year old gameplay. Nothing incredible. (6.5-7.5 out of 10)

    PROS:
    - Nice callback to the original DOOM. (armor, health, keys, style)
    - Graphics are really nice, each area created a unique environment.
    - Fast game play. Combat is great!! Sets the mood for really fun, and brutal enemy encounters.
    - Gore galore. Blood everywhere!
    - Music is pretty good too.

    NEUTRAL:
    - Not a horror game. I was a little let down by this, but I can understand the decision.
    - Shorter game. (8-10 hrs)
    - Really heavy focus on executions. (glory kills)
    - The achievements are BAD. Not that important if you're not an achievement hunter. As an example for a bad achievement, you only get a 10gs cheevo for beating the first level on the hardest difficulty. That's it. No other achievement is awarded for completing the campaign, or other subsequent levels on Ultra-Nightmare. Huh?

    CONS:
    - Oh my God, the story is bad. So many holes in the story, especially near the end. Of course you can collect the in-game codex to get deeper with the story. But when I finished the game with over 80% of the codex collected, I still could poke holes at the story.

    - Buggy. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen through the map, or an enemy got stuck on some texture pop, or some other random BS happened during my playthrough. I've gotten stuck to the point where I would have to reload checkpoints.

    - The bosses. Every boss fight in this game was atrocious. I hate them. The game barely works during these sections, and I honestly feel that they were the least fun sections of the game.

    - VERY repetitive. The only down time you get is the loading screens, and in-between rooms. It is essentially a mindless "go here, clear room, get key, urg, open door, repeat" type of game.

    - Step down from 'Wolfenstein: The New Order'? It feels like DOOM is a downgraded version of Wolfenstein. It really does.

    Summary: A solid game
    DOOM was a fun game. As a fan of the series, I enjoyed plowing through hordes of demons with a metal track playing in the background. The game is bloody, fast-paced, and brutal, which are all good things in my book. The easter eggs are awesome, the weapons are fun to use (super shotgun FTW), and killing the big baddies with executions is satisfying as hell.

    At the end of the day, however, that's all DOOM is; a run-and-gun shooter. The formula is not exactly new, and while it does pay homage to the originals, big fans of DOOM 3's survival horror style probably won't appreciate this installment as much. The game is very repetitive, and can grow dull after a few hours of play. The story isn't that great either. I know it's DOOM and all, but, after playing Wolfenstein, I expected a little more.

    I feel that DOOM honestly just didn't live up to the hype generated from the fans, the years of it's absence, and Wolfenstein's beta bonus. It is a good game, but there a collection of small things that keep it from being perfect. I recommend that any fans of the series try it out. Just don't be expected to be blown off your feet or anything.    … Expand

    An utterly brilliant homage to the old school FPS. This is quintessential Doom, updated for the modern times without forgetting what it is and where it came from. Kinetic, visceral, and impactful, DOOM delivers a delightful punch to the teeth to remind audiences what a shooter is supposed to be.

    In DOOM, game-play comes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. And by game-play I mean gun-play and by gun-play    An utterly brilliant homage to the old school FPS. This is quintessential Doom, updated for the modern times without forgetting what it is and where it came from. Kinetic, visceral, and impactful, DOOM delivers a delightful punch to the teeth to remind audiences what a shooter is supposed to be.

    In DOOM, game-play comes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. And by game-play I mean gun-play and by gun-play I mean HOLY HELL these are some fantastic weapons! Shooting is fast-paced and fun. Strafing, circling, closing in for for a melee kill, I found myself constantly staying on the move to avoid enemy fire and the game rewarding me for a clever and aggressive play-style. Nearly all weapons have two different upgrade paths that you can switch up on the fly and not a single one isn't satisfying to use. Ammo is plentiful but not plentiful enough that you won't be swapping out your weapons regularly, and the increasing variety of enemies that require different approaches and tactics means you can't get comfortable with just one or two guns to see you through the day. The games signature "glory kills" are fast and satisfying, requiring you to "stun" your enemies with well placed gun fire first before closing in to finish them off. Each glory kill you pull off rewards you with extra health, a great little risk/reward mechanic that keeps the pace of the fight up and never sees you retreating from an enemy in search of more health. The chainsaw and BFG are perfectly implemented as well, incredibly over-powered one-hit-kill weapons with very limited ammo meaning you'll need to carefully consider when to break them out but always incredibly rewarding when you do.

    Each level in DOOM is expansive and labyrinthine, as any good DOOM level worth it's salt should be. This ain't no corridor shooter, and you are encouraged to explore each environment thoroughly to discover all of the hidden secrets and unlockables this game has to offer. Traversing the environments is fast and fluid. You move at a satisfying clip and incorporate a clamber and, later, a double jump to navigate the large, vertical spaces.

    A point against DOOM could be it's rather weak and generic story. If you're looking for a world deep with lore then you might be satisfied by what is on offer through the collectible journal entries that flesh out the UAC and their Mars research facility, but the pretty intriguing idea of a corporation-turned-cult is barely explored. Arguably, focusing more on the story might have taken away from the game-play, which is DOOM's obvious first priority, but I did sometimes find myself wishing I had a bit more motivation than DEMONS: KILL.

    Another definite negative is DOOM's multiplayer offering, which feels very tacked on and is entirely forgettable. All of the kinetic energy and adrenaline found in the single player game is absent here. This is where the description "mindless shooter" fits perfectly, where not even a respectable variety of game modes can keep it from feeling wholly shallow and lifeless. DOOM's multiplayer is a temporary distraction to be played once and then never picked up again.

    But, despite these faults, in the end the game is just too much fun and I have so much praise for what it does do that it is hard to fault it for what it doesn't. DOOM is an incredibly refreshing return to form and has re-energized my enthusiasm for genre that has been, in my opinion, languishing for years, bereft of any originality and becoming stale and stagnant in the process. DOOM remembers that FPS's don't need to be a dreary slog nor do they need to take themselves seriously or rely on scripted set pieces to be incredible experiences. DOOM is a must buy for any shooter fan.    … Expand

    / Sound design is great..... when it actually works, the sound on my game broke 2 hours into my first playthrough and requirded a new save file to fix.
    / Fast paced shooter elements are fun but eleminate any stratergy that might otherwise have been used. There is literally a crouch button in the game with little more than the purpose to enter secret area's.

    Negatives
    -The game is formulaic and every mission is brought foward as destroy these monster shires survive a wave of hellspawn, go to the next shrine and repeat with the only major variation being if there is a new major boss.
    - Multiplayer is God awful and presents the worst old school and new elements of arena shooters with little need to play other than to get all achievements
    -Story is weak and otherwise falls apart pretty early on in the first act
    -Monster encounters are expected and devalue the games horror elements
    -Lots and lots of bugs e.g disapearing sound, poor hit detection, enemies freezing in motion    … Expand

    Game feels tired. Uninspired. Clunky. Slow load times. Stripped down multiplayer mashup of Halo/Destiny without any of the fun parts. I enjoyed the fast pace and focus on using different weapons to their advantages. Colorful. But tired. Made by tired old men who just want to buy their wives a new kitchen.

This was simply an ADD fueled chaotic mess of bullets and explosions. DOOM 3 was far superior and should have built off of what that game did right, not for the sake of sales, but for the sake of quality. DOOM 3 had patience, atmosphere, lore, and still managed to pull off some of the most gruesome and epic boss fights in FPS history. These were elements that made it stand out from the COD multiplayer, DLC, micro-transaction gaming world that soon developed. DOOM 4 resorts to a cheep arcade style which, yes, is nostalgic, but sorely lacks in potential, especially when considering you'll pay 60$ or more for it. 60$ for an arcade game that will get old in a month at most. When I heard DOOM was coming back I didn't think I would be playing Call of Duty with demons. The game fails to take itself seriously. Now I am not knocking the artists or any of the ingenuity at hand here. The graphics and designs look great. The problem is the lack of atmosphere and depth which were great additions to the series in DOOM 3. Could you imagine a dark and brooding DOOM that would genuinely terrify you with the graphics this game implored? That, and of course mixed-in sections filled with enemies and crazy loud music to get the blood pumping. Then simply up the difficulty and storytelling to appeal to the non-casuals and you would have an absolute masterpiece. That is what this DOOM should have been. Unfortunately, it isn't. I would not pay more than 35 dollars for it. I might pay 40 if that included any DLC. I've been observing the gaming industry and its development for some time now and I can promise you that a DOOM solely based on instant gratification will not hold the public's attention for long. It will sell great at first due to nostalgia factors, but after making that initial revenue it simply won't stand the test of time. I know this was a long read and I thank you for getting through it if you have. I have been a huge DOOM fan all my life and it pains me to see that this series has taken a huge step backwards instead of continuing to be an innovator of the FPS genre.… Expand

    I don't understand the hype around this game, it's a solid shooter for sure but it didn't really excel in any area. The main downside of the game is that it was just a group of different encounters with very little inbetween. Once you've glory killed the demons a couple of times it starts to get old for a core mechanic.

    Visually its amazing. The gameplay on the campaign is pretty fun and challenging due to the lack of ammo when you get into hordes of monsters to slay.

    Multiplayer is pretty average. It's fun for a little bit, but it doesnt give you that feeling where you want to play it over and over again. I can happily play it for an hour, then turn it off and put it away for a week.

This review might explain.
    First, still after 2 years and 62GB of updates, there is a bug that corrupts some saves. When it happens, enemies stop spawning correctly and passages remain blocked. If it happens to you in the 6th mission (like it did to me) you're of luck: there is no way to restart the current mission from the beginning. Unless you really love the game and start from scratch, you have to restart the game. So take the rest of the review with a grain of salt, as I've only played (pretty thoroughly) the first 5.5 missions.
    Let's switch to something positive: the combat. The enemies attack you from all sides, each one with the different types of attacks. Movement is crazily fast and fluid (60fps). Prioritising and being quick on your feet is crucial: trying to bring an important guy to low life and go for a close up gore kill is a risky tactic, rewarding you with a rain of health packs. Most weapons are awesome, with interesting primary and secondary fire modes. The only distraction is weapon switching on consoles: you switch from let's say the shotgun to the rocket launcher, only to find that it's low on ammo. You hold Y, time slows down, you switch to let's say the gauss cannon. You fire a couple of crucial long shots, then you press Y for a quick switch back to shotgun, only to be found again to your rocket launcher.
    And that's just one of the areas where Doom prioritises old-school for old-school's sake, not caring about innovations since Halo. In most console shooters inventory is in front of your eyes (dropped weapons of the enemies), you don't need to stop time to pick it or manage its upgrades - and that allows it being played co-op. Even the most hardcore PC fan who loves to remember that x weapon is on button 7 will accept that being to play Doom in co-op would have been AWESOME.
    At least its combat... Because a big part of 2016's DOOM is about exploration. We're not talking just about optional exploration to find admittedly cool collectables or original-Doom levels. In order to fully upgrade your weapons and armour to the max you have to pass lots of time between battles navigating the map, and jumping around. And even though there's not much to see (Doom is an endless exchange of grey, red and brown), there is a lot of pleasure in finding those things. But reaching them is not fun. The first person perspective, floaty movement and (in cases of hidden areas) confused visual language on what is interactable or can be reached would have been simply annoying if they weren't combined with an abysmal checkpointing system. You risked a jump to reach something marked on your map and you fell (because the game expected you to go there another way)? Good luck, you're back before your previous battle. And if this battle is the one where you have to use your double-jump to hunt around imps who push you to the abyss, you might be justifiably infuriated (if you enjoy shooting with platforming, try Titanfall 2's campaign instead).
    Until this moment I didn't mention any story. It's because Doom proudly makes fun of its "scientists opened a door to hell, kill and destroy everything you meet" plot.
    There's also a multiplayer, but I arrived to the game so late that it's dead - most people say it wasn't particularly good anyway.
    To conclude, Doom appeals to nostalgia with some hits and some misses, but real thing it is adding to the genre (and which I hope other games will copy) is the rewards for risking to get close and personal with enemies.    … Expand

    Bien sûr, c'est tout de même le cas assez souvent (quand même) mais pas assez... ce ne sont en fait que des escarmouches (certes ultra violentes) diluées dans un putain de jeu de piste avec un vague objectif sur le HUD : Doom Lanta, le jeu d'orientation en fait ! passer sa vie sur la carte pour repérer où l'on pourrait... passer s'avère particulièrement désagréable. Et ennuyeux.

    Les combats (quand on tombe enfin sur les démons) sont indéniablement furieux et la nouveauté des "glory kills" qui oblige au corps-à-corps (très gore) pour regagner de la vie est bien fichue mais on s'en lasse malgré tout assez vite...

    Pour le reste, on a un double saut très mal foutu qui marche une fois sur deux et pas de sauvegarde manuelle (?!)... Pire, la maniabilité à la manette est complètement foirée : le stick gauche a une zone morte trop importante, puis une accélération également trop importante : se placer pour les doubles sauts devient alors un calvaire !

    Techniquement, c'est très beau et toujours à 60 im/s, ce qui ne gâte rien... mais le reste n'a pas bénéficié de la même attention : Doom ne peut donc se débarrasser de ses vieux démons et demeure une sorte de belle démo technique mais hélas aussi creuse que vide. Et inversement.

    - Tried some interesting techniques with skills and melee finishes

    Alright guys/some gals, I've been compelled to create an account for this one. I'm a Doom franchise fan, and this is by far the worst Doom game I've played. I'm writing this with the intention of saving my fellow world citizens a good $20 that you could use on far better things; certainly better than the $20 I spent on this game for Xbox One.

    Let me just get my largest complaint out of    Alright guys/some gals, I've been compelled to create an account for this one. I'm a Doom franchise fan, and this is by far the worst Doom game I've played. I'm writing this with the intention of saving my fellow world citizens a good $20 that you could use on far better things; certainly better than the $20 I spent on this game for Xbox One.

    Let me just get my largest complaint out of the way first- the sound. The high-pitched, haphazard gun sounds, music, and that stupid damn high-note within the game menu just about drove me to the edge. I persevered through a few hours regardless thinking that there was a light at the end of the Doom tunnel, but no. Only some of the most half-hearted attempts at game atmosphere generation through sound/music awaited me. It was unbearable... not for lack of quality compared to the bulk of 2018's music as a whole, (not a **** high bar), but for a lack of effort in creating the eerie hellscape that the best Doom games have offered, (Doom 64 being my personal favorite).

    Anyway, exposition aside- this game isn't fun. You are limited to melee being your best weapon against enemies in a transparent "cool, look at how bloody things are" direction the developer sets you on as opposed to any spontaneous tactical ingenuity that the best shooters make you perform. This game is a marketing pitch.

    So many reviews proclaim this to be one of the best shooters ever. This is another reason I'm writing to you all right now. I value my video games as an escape, a source of relaxation, and entertainment. This game isn't even fun while you're drunk; this is a hypothesis I've tested today after reading some of the glowing reviews yesterday. I thought, "maybe everyone else is loaded playing this thing, and just killing things is way more entertaining then." Nope. It's still stupid.

    One room after the next, killing about 20 demons that inconveniently spawn on top of you while you're killing another, and with the other demons taking a smoke-break while you "glory-kill" a demon, (a horribly stupid way that the game refers to you instantly punching an enemy to death once you've shot it once or twice). Seriously. While I was punching an imp to death, about 6 other demons just stood there watching and not trying to kill me.

    There are plenty of "secrets" in the game that aren't so secret. It's really cool that the developers spent the time and effort putting them in there. What's not so cool is that there's a map feature in the game that shows you EVERYTHING. If you're like me, a gamer who likes to do their best at a game without crossing the line of way too much effort, then you'll be endlessly frustrated by this like I was. You have to stop and open your damn map to see where secrets are. The secrets benefit you by improving your character. You would be remiss not to find the easily shown secrets. This unfortunately means you have to hit the "select" button to open your damn map every 2 minutes to make sure you're not missing anything in the weird, apparently "made for multiplayer," map design of the campaign. It really takes you out of the Doom atmosphere and makes you feel like you're hunting for treasure in between rooms of generic demons.

    It's boring. The sound is annoying. It's not a horror masterpiece like some of the Doom games. It makes you question why you're playing video games. It makes you feel stupid. It is stupid. You are much better served doing anything but playing this game. I'm giving it a 2 because it's Doom.    … Expand

    Fun for a short while, but the boss fights were very tedious and boring. Admittedly, I am not very good at fps games and I just don't have the patience to learn the boss's tell moves and counters so for you, this game might well rate more highly, but for me it wasn't a super hit.

    I don’t see the hype for this game all it is is running and killing with no narrative whatsoever, only saving grace is the decent gameplay and visuals. Only saving grace is that it is free on gamepass.

    Most overrated and boring shooter in recent memory. Combat has zero depth, has poor balancing considering 2 weapons supershotgun and guass cannon break the game and is mind numbing repetitive. I see people claim this game has good story which is absurd.

    Doom is a brutal masterpiece; a step into the past to show the modern market that the old formulas still work in an oversaturated, corridor shooting gallery market. It seems to often today that we are bombarded by Call of Duty style simplistic campaigns where a straight line punctuated by explosions designed to give Michael Bay an erection. This design has worn thin and Id and BethesdaDoom is a brutal masterpiece; a step into the past to show the modern market that the old formulas still work in an oversaturated, corridor shooting gallery market. It seems to often today that we are bombarded by Call of Duty style simplistic campaigns where a straight line punctuated by explosions designed to give Michael Bay an erection. This design has worn thin and Id and Bethesda have listened to the customers and have given us something so refreshing and nostalgic at the same time that you can't help but get your demon murder chub on.

    Doom 2016 was to be a direct sequel to Doom 3 but according to developers was looking like Call of Doom. So, the Elder Scrolls Gods and Id Software went back to the drawing board and look at the original designs of Doom and what made it special. Shooting, lots and lots of shooting...with buckets of gore.

    This games stands on several areas VERY strongly: Graphics, Sound Design, and TIGHT gameplay.
    First, Graphics: This game has some of the best volumetric and particle effects in a game as of late, and for such a retro feeling title, has a REAL current (next) gen feeling on all three systems (played it on PC and Xbox One). This is even visible in the first minute of the game, where sparks shower from damaged wiring above your head, and steam from vents pumps out into corridors. Enemy design and weapon animations are top notch and show a love the lore, the past, and where they want to go. Unlockable character and weapon models are actually fun to look at as they are animated (this is fluff stuff) and show the minute level of detail put into each enemy you will eviscerate and each weapon that will be doing the former.

    Sound design: Top notch, truly epic and unnerving at the sametime. I played this on a headset and recommended that or full surround sound to REALLY get the blood pumping. Demons are guttural, weapons echo with unleashed discontent, and the music metal as f**K where it staccatos the action sections perfectly and makes you feel like a combat murder God.

    Gameplay: Best in years. Level design is built into this and harkens back to original Doom design; levels are non linear after the first level (training wheel right?) and key card hunting has returned. Secrets litter each level and built in challenges in each level not only keep things interesting and challenging but also are useful for upgrading your weapons. Segway into weapons, all weapons feel powerful sans the pistol and have amazing mods that give the game a RPG-lite addition that at first I though would be out of place....but its not! Weapon changes turn your simple combat shotgun into a grenade launching or triple blasting monster early game, where later a chain gun can turn into a Nonuple barreled monster that would make a GAU-8 Avenger piss itself. There are some armor upgrades that are helpful but not intrusive to where it could become a focus, and thus it fits well. Staples are back like the BFG and Chainsaw, but are so powerful they are leashed by low ammo for both (yes chainsaw has fuel) to make them utility weapons and thus not make the game "easy mode" but still keeps them SUPER fun and awesome to use. Shooting in the game is superb and retro...you will carry ALL the guns and shoot ALL the things with extreme prejudice and NO reloading (sans cycling the combat shotgun and reloading the super shotgun). The gameplay feel kinetic and VERY fast, as you will zip around with all the speed of the original doom and shoot hot hate shrapnel at everything that moves.

    Story: it is there and fits as lore. It is simple but fun, and most importantly, NOT important...this is a game ALL about gameplay (naughty Dog you pretentious studio) so the story does not get in the way. No proper cut scenes, you start killing 5 seconds into the game, and there are only a couple spots where the game slows a moment for story, and such points have Easter eggs and things to see so it doesn't disrupt thing terribly.

    Multiplayer is fun but not amazing, so come for the campaign. Snapmap is pretty cool and I hope they flush it out more with updates because I see TONS of potential with it.    … Expand

    While it's not perfect, DOOM stands as one of the best shooters that I've had the chance to play in recent years. It returns to an old-school style of gameplay that fans of the original games remember fondly. To such an extent that, if you didn't like either Doom 1 or 2, chances are you're probably not gonna think of this game as highly as others will.

    First off, the game is gorgeous.    While it's not perfect, DOOM stands as one of the best shooters that I've had the chance to play in recent years. It returns to an old-school style of gameplay that fans of the original games remember fondly. To such an extent that, if you didn't like either Doom 1 or 2, chances are you're probably not gonna think of this game as highly as others will.

    First off, the game is gorgeous. The UAC facilities are gore-soaked and impressive, the landscape of Mars would make Mark Watney proud, and the level designs of Hell look like they were ripped straight from the album art of a '90s metal band.

    About the story... To quote John Carmack, "Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important." Just like in the original DOOM, the story in this game isn't the focus here, though the codex does offer some interesting back-story to many of the demons, weapons, etc. found in the game. The entire point of this game is killing demons and that's going to be what you'll spend most of your time doing with an arsenal of awesome weapons and the two meat tenderizers that DoomGuy call hands.

    Despite what the fast pace of combat may lead you to believe, there is some strategy here. The Super Shotgun is powerful, but lacks any range. And obviously, you don't want to be shooting off rockets at point-blank distance. Also, simply being aware of explosive barrels and high-ground can just as easily be as lifesaving as the all-mighty BFG. The key to the combat seems to be taking advantage of your surroundings, maintaining constant movement, and choosing the right gun for the job.

    One thing I greatly enjoyed about the game was the sense of escalation. You start off with the humble Combat Shotgun and only a handful of demons to use it on. However, as you progress, you find more weapons and bigger, stronger demons start rearing their ugly heads, hoping to get a piece of you.

    The level design is rather impressive. The maps are massive and secrets are tucked away in all of them, including a hidden room that's taken straight from the original games, in all of their 16bit glory. The arenas, in which you often fight many of the demons, are also well-designed and make for fun firefights that leave you with many options in which to approach the combat.

    Depending on the difficulty and how much time you spend looking for secrets, finishing up a single mission can easily take up anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour (I played on Ultraviolence). Finishing up the story would take up a good 15 hours or so.

    Though the campaign is the crown jewel, the multi-player is nothing to scoff at. Fans of arena shooters such as Quake 3 and Unreal would be right at home here. The combat is just as fast and chaotic as before. The biggest difference I can see being the decision of giving players loadouts rather than simply picking up weapons placed on the map. I have mixed feelings regarding this as it makes the game feel a little too much like many other modern shooters. However, it also keeps players from hovering around weapon spawn points on the map, which I've always found to be annoying in older online FPS games.

    Another great feature worth mentioning is SnapMap. Id decided to toss in a remarkably in-depth map-building system that allows for the creation and sharing of custom content, ranging from co-op maps, to survival builds, or even a return to the classic Doom deathmatch.

    In terms of content, there is a lot to play around with. There is so much, that I am completely comfortable with the $60 price tag. However, I can understand how some people would be somewhat cautious. If you're not sure about the gameplay, I'd recommend redboxing the game first and see if you like it before buying.    … Expand

    1) The weapon wheel doesn't quite work right. When activated, there's a chance that your cursor will get stuck.

    2) The second issue is with the BFG itself. After selecting the BFG by pressing the A button, you want to return to your regular load out by pressing Y. But for some reason, the game automatically switches to the combat shotgun as the default weapon, and NOT the load out you've selected. Let me explain: You've got the rocket launcher and chain gun selected. You find yourself in a tough spot, so you press A for the BFG. You fire off one round of the BFG, and then press Y to go BACK to your rocket launcher/chain gun combo. The shotgun appears. You've go to reselect your weapons manually by using the weapon wheel - which has a chance of NOT working properly (as explained above).

    These two major bugs can cause some frustration throughout the single player campaign. It happens over, and over, and over again. And completely messes up the fluidity of the arena-style combat.

    Until these two bugs get fixed, the game will remain an 8/10 for me.    … Expand

    and to upgrade these weapons you have to earn upgrade points by completing in level challenges, and finding collectibles..
    Once you’ve unlocked all of the mods for a weapon, to get its mastery you have to complete another challenge…
    This system really had me searching for opportunities as well as forced me to use every weapon at my disposal.
    There are also rune challenges in these levels that unlock a rune that give you a special perk, which can also be upgraded by completing that runes individual challenge…
    Doom for the most part starts fairly average..
    I wasn’t impressed with the first few hours of the game at all…
    But thankfully as I progressed further and started to unlock new mods and skills and the levels actually started to stand out from the crowd I started to really enjoy my time...
    I was legitimately surprised at every twist and turn this game took me in…
    Dooms combat can be pretty gruesome at time especially thanks to the glory kills…
    but most enemies feel way too spongy for any of this to every feel truly satisfying and the novelty of the glory kill quickly wore off.
    But for the most part you’re in a way solving a puzzle, pulling switches and killing waves of demons on your way…
    I did get an opportunity to play on the games highest difficulty, and unfortunately playing a level on this difficulty is required for a trophy
    and I say unfortunately because it’s not fun…
    it really highlights the cheapness certain enemies have..
    You’ll die in this mode with 1 hit easily…
    Which isn’t too big of a deal if certain enemies weren’t so cheap with their attacks... mainly the demons that throw fire balls… they have extreme accuracy and can climb walls…
    you literally wont see your death coming..
    And if you die here you start the level all the way from the start.
    It’s just not worth it…
    There is a multiplayer mode here too
    6 different match types that you would recognize from most other first person shooters like team death math or domination with their own doom twist for example instead of kill confirmed you harvest souls instead of collect dog tags
    You unlock weapons abilities and demons as you level which can honestly throw the balance of a game out the windows as the higher level players who are already at the time in advantage also have the stronger loadouts and demon spawn ins…
    luckily the demons don’t feel all too over powered.. But they are definitely fun to play as and worth the effort to try and grab the demon spawn stone before someone else does...
    The doom multiplayer is super addictive and rivals the likes of killzone 2 as one of my most favorite multiplayer modes in a game…I can easily see players sticking around until the next doom comes out
    there’s also a super deep snap map mode here that lets you create scenarios, edit ai, sound lighting, spawn points and connect different logic chains for a nearly endless amount of scenarios
    If you don’t feel like creating, you van also hop into other peoples published maps.
    Doom is a great game
    There’s something here for everyone...
    a 12 hour single player campaign, a varied and addictive multiplayer, and a snap map mode to get your Picasso on.

The single player campaign is the strong point for this game, it's intense, fast-paced, and non-stop, there are demons around every corner ready to be killed in many different ways. The story is not really the highlight in DOOM, the gameplay is what keeps your attention throughout the campaign. The multiplayer is the weakest point of DOOM, it's nothing worth remembering, it may be fast-paced like the single player campaign, but it fails to give you thrills that the campaign has. DOOM SnapMap is a pretty neat feature, you can build your own map for multiple game modes in your own way, the sky's the limit, you can make anything from a simple DM map, to a layered demon survival map. It's pretty simple too, every little piece just snaps together bricks. Of course the music was perfect, nothing is better than killing demons to fast and loud heavy metal music. The gore is heavy, and I mean heavy, there is more gore in DOOM than there is in the Gears of War series. DOOM has finally come, it's big, it's gory, and it's fast-paced, it may not be perfect, it may be flawed, but it has enough entertainment to keep players occupied for hours and hours, this is just like playing the original DOOM all over again with a new layer of fresh paint and a few tweaks, DOOM is the most fun I have ever had in a long time and I hope to play it for hours and hours.… Expand

    Just gonna say it right off the bat. DOOM was my favorite game of 2016. It is non-stop, gory, over-the-top action that I can pick up and play any day at any time and have a blast. These are the types of games I love the most; arcadey, fast-paced, relatively short, and very replayable.

It is non-stop, gory, over-the-top action that I can pick up and play any day at any time and have a blast. These are the types of games I love the most; arcadey, fast-paced, relatively short, and very replayable. That's not to say that I don't enjoy other kinds of games or genres, but it is these experiences that I love to revisit over and over again. I've been playing for 4 years now and it hasn't gotten even the slightest bit old.

    The game has a story, sure, but neither the game nor the DOOM Guy give a f*ck about it, so it is very clear that you shouldn't either, that's not the focus. For those curious, the game does offer quite a bit of lore and details about what's going on, so if ya wanna take the time to understand it all, it is all right there to be consumed. I myself don't really care, so for all intent and purposes all that matters in this game, is that a portal leading to Hell has been opened in Mars and your job is to absolutely annihilate anything that comes out of it in the most brutal way possible, and eventually take the fight to Hell itself.

    Doing that job is very easy, as the game gives you all the tools you need to rip and tear through all of its levels, filled to the brim with Easter eggs and secrets to find. As you go along you'll get more and more weapons to use. It all starts very standardly, a little gun with infinite ammo, and a shotgun. Eventually, however, you'll start getting weapons more and more insane; a Plasma Rifle, an Assault Rifle, a Rocket Launcher, a Chaingun, a Chainsaw that runs on fuel but can cut through almost everything, and of course, the mother of all weapons, the Big F*cking Gun-9000, which destroys basically anything, just to name a few.

    As if that wasn't enough you can also upgrade these weapons, giving them new features, by exploring the gigantic maps and finding little upgrade robots. For example, you can upgrade the shotgun to fire an explosive shot, transform the Chaingun into a Mobile Turret, stuff like that. Pretty much all of these upgrades kickass and are a blast to use.

    Should you be running out of ammo, you can perform brutal melee attacks against enemies with low health to do very violent glory kills, which give you life and ammo. Very rarely do I run out of ammo in this game, and even when I do I can take advantage of certain power-ups you can encounter every now and again, that either boost your speed, defense or put you in a berserker state to savagely tear any demon in your path in just one hit.

    Speaking of the demons, the enemy variety is high. You have your standard fodder, your mobile demons that shoot fireballs, demons with jetpacks that shoot rockets, big dudes with lots of hp that shoot lasers, demons that teleport, Boss demons that are very satisfying to take down, and so many more, I love the enemies in this game, they each serve a specific purpose and multitasking never feels too hectic, especially because DOOM Guy handles like a dream, he's fast, responsive, agile, and throughout the course of the game, you'll get upgrades to his armor and movement, which also come in handy when the game slows down a bit more and asks ya to do some platforming, in order to break up the pace, keeping the combat fresh. It also in these slower sections, that you'll probably realize that this game looks gorgeous, the art style is so hellish, with very striking colors, I love it!

    There are tons of things to keep track of, if you stay still you'll get your butt kicked, you gotta keep moving, constantly thinking of ways to deal with the threats up ahead, and on higher difficulty settings you'll truly feel like a one-man army doing the impossible, as some of the most intense heavy metal tracks play as you're destroying your enemies.

    Like I said tho, the game does enough for me to break up the combat segments so that it doesn't get repetitive. It'll ask you to explore, find keys or secrets, platform about, put your skills to the test in some self-contained challenges you'll find in the levels, etc. There are tons more to do than just combat, the game knows how to break it up without it feeling like you're wasting your time.

    This is a game that is meant to be played over and over, it's addicting, it's intense, it's satisfying and most importantly, so much fun!

    The main story mode is enough for me to get my money's worth, but there's also a multiplayer mode, arcade mode, Snapmap, things like that. I haven't dabbled in those other features I have to admit, I just have way too much fun with the main adventure to even really care, but they're there should you want to try them out.

    Honestly, what else can I say? I love this game, it's a masterpiece in my eyes, a shooter that is worth every little bit of money spent on it, and one of my favorite games of all time. I haven't played DOOM Eternal at the time I'm writing this, but I'm sure it'll be really good too.    … Expand

    Let's get the negatives out the way first: I can tolerate long loading times before starting a level, but when you're playing on a harder difficulty and dying all the time it is frustrating having to wait for the game to restart at the last checkpoint. Some of the Rune Trials are quite frustrating but maybe I just need to "git gud". As for the multiplayer, the guns feel like pea shootersLet's get the negatives out the way first: I can tolerate long loading times before starting a level, but when you're playing on a harder difficulty and dying all the time it is frustrating having to wait for the game to restart at the last checkpoint. Some of the Rune Trials are quite frustrating but maybe I just need to "git gud". As for the multiplayer, the guns feel like pea shooters probably due to the fact that any player can start a match equipped with them which means they have to be "balanced" as opposed to picking them up on the map. Snapmap needs some improvements also.

    Now on to the positives: great open level design for exploration and combat, enemies are varied which compliment the variety of weapons at your disposal, bosses that aren't just bullet sponges that only have one type of attack, exposition moments are few and far between, and Doomguy is one-dimensional in the best possible way. There's a lot of reply value that you just don't seem to get in FPS's lately. I was going to complain about how uninteresting the Possesed/Unwilling are to fight, but they're perfect for completing challenges to upgrade your weapon mods.

    And I haven't even mentioned how great the graphics are for something that runs at 60fps (and the amount of video options there are, even on console) and Mick Gordon's exhilarating soundtrack.    … Expand

    One of the best shooters I've played. Feels exactly like the original Doom would have had it been made in 2016. Exhilarating, atmospheric, and sometimes downright unsettling, Doom 2016 is a masterpiece in FPS game design.

    Amazing fast-paced combat, level design, and enemy variety. Just enough story to keep you going. Its an adrenaline rush from start to finish. Walking around the map from marker to marker is kinda boring but it's only there in the beginning

    Id Software's 2016 game "DOOM" is a fun and truly epic and brutal experience that will take your breath away, the game lives up to DOOM's before it and Bethesda's other games.

    DOOM (2016) is a good game. DOOM (2016) is first person shooter set on mars.

    Doom is a fun, well designed, repetitive, adrenaline rush that accomplishes the goals it sets out for itself, but doesn’t do much more than that.

    Easily so far the best game I have ever played. I think it is an FPS action masterpiece. The only problems you could have is the generic story. Good thing that game didn't really even need a story to be good. I haven't played any of the multiplayer though

    the combat is incredibly addictive, the system is incredible. the game is not for everyone, it is a little difficult. the main character is a little too simple and the campaign is a little short (about 15 hours).

    It's gorgeous, it's fast, it's rewarding, it's one of the best FPS I've ever played, and I've played a lot since the 80's. Kudos to the people who made this game such an unforgettable masterpiece.

    I felt there are some repetitive levels, having said that I just couldn't stop playing. Boss fights were so good, I wish there had been more

    Near perfect. Fantastic game for anger management. Switch your brain off and slay hordes of demons to a badass soundtrack. What more could a guy ask for? Looks great, is smooth as butter and is heaps of fun. Perhaps the best FPS i have played. Only gripes I have are occasionally getting lost and not knowing where to go next, and the map being a bit useless and not enough upgrades forNear perfect. Fantastic game for anger management.

I don't think so because I have evidence - an Xbox app. When you kill the last boss the Spider Mastermind, you get the achievement for completing the campaign on "I'm too Young to Die", "Hurt Me Plenty", "Ultra-Violence", or "Nightmare", just as I did. The app shows me that 17.47 % of players have completed the game. You are giving positive reviews even though you have not played through the game. Why do you do that?

    I will now write what I think of this game because I have completed it.

    I first played through Doom 2016 and immediately after that I played through Doom Eternal. These are two completely different games, Doom 2016 is a superb first-person shooter, but Doom Eternal is something else. If you want to know what Doom Eternal is, please feel free to read my review.

    I loved Doom 2016. The darkness, the blood in the facility from the humans trying to escape, control rooms where the humans desperately tried to fight the demons as they make their final stand. It really tells a story, tells the story of this hellish place on Mars.

    When it comes to sound design, DOOM 2016 seems more realistic and modern, Doom Eternal feels more like a retro 90s game when it comes to the explosion and laser sounds.

    Very well-designed levels and I never had to look from YouTube for how to play it. I felt that control was in my hands all the time and I knew what to do next.

    This game hooked me to play it, I couldn't get my hands off the controller. I wanted to know what was going to happen, I wanted to kill the next monster in my way. If you have never played Doom game, you definitely have to play this game. You will not miss anything, and you will understand what this game series is all about.    … Expand

    You run. You kill. You platform. You run. You kill. You Platform.

    My biggest gripes with the games are around the exploration system. Shooting and defeating enemies is always a blast, but exploring halts the game to a screeching halt almost every time. Finding stuff doesn't ever feel rewarding, the platforming is the easiest platforming out there, and every location in the game just feels like the same location but a switched-up maze.

    It can easily be compared to the Metroid Prime games, where you explore and find stuff to advance, except with more "pew-pew" and "bam-bam". However, Matroid did it better. There were actual biomes; there was a feeling of loneliness and dread, mystery, and wonder. There were moments of build-up and challenge; there were puzzles and challenges that made the game more than just shooting.

    This game just shoots.

    That's not necessarily a flaw for the game. That's what it went for, but more variety would've definitely benefited the game, along with biomes or environments that could've added more of a dynamic for this game.

    Overall, it's mid. Overrated and fun at points, but even pew-pewing got tiring.    … Expand

    This game turned out to be so driving and tooth-crushing that I want to try it again. And as a continuation of the franchise, she is very careful about the canon and lays out a simple, but very significant plot for the universe

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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]
