5 Tips For Doom Eternal's Nightmare Difficulty

    Doom Eternal has a lot in common with Doom 2. Both could never dream of matching the surprise or legacy of their immediate predecessor, but they each confidently expand on the historic foundations those games set. Using fast-paced first-person shooting as the framework, each sequel has wildly improved level design, a wider selection of demons to massacre, and a larger arsenal that come together to refine its core identity in the smartest, most respectful ways possible. However, Eternal is more ambitious than its 1994 counterpart, pushing even further and creating one of the best first-person shooters ever made in the process. The Doom Slayer has faced many nightmarish opponents and toppled them all, yet his greatest victory might be slaying the impossibly high expectations set by his genre-defining precursors.

    Doom Eternal is not only a superb shooter, but carries the DNA of some of the best works by Id Software, and takes the studio back to the good old days of the 90s.

    DOOM Eternal is an example of how to make a great sequel. Doesn't break with the 2016 game and allows us to embody a character that is a demon killer. It makes us feel powerful and is one of the most brutal games we've enjoyed in a long time.

    DOOM Eternal is simply the best game of the IP as it shows an unmatched mastery of the Fast-FPS genre from id Software. The pure uncut cocaine of shooters.

    A fantastic game, taking all of the elements which made DOOM 2016 such a surprisingly enjoyable reboot of the franchise and implementing dozens of new concepts in a way which makes the entire experience feel fresh all over again. There is more of everything in DOOM Eternal than players could have asked for, but the lack of a classic deathmatch and Snap Map functionality, something which was such an integral and entertaining part of DOOM 2016's community, makes it impossible to give the game a perfect score.

    DOOM Eternal exceeded expectations, both where difficulty and enjoyment are concerned, and while not without its faults, it feels like a must-play game for FPS players. It knows exactly how hard it is but doesn’t shame players for choosing whatever difficulty they want, and with how many collectibles there are to amass, it offers a surprising degree of replayability.

    There’s something primal and thrilling to id Software’s further embrace of video-gamey conventions.

Most of the time you are runningDoom is a fast FPS shooter where you can enjoy the feeling of killing demons. It will make your hart pump. Most of the time you are running from a hord of demons while shooting at others simultaneously. You have to learn all the weak points of the demons if you want to beat the levels on higher difficulty. Expand

I like how they went with a more story driven story mode, with the gameplay being even better then Doom 2016. The music is spectacular, you feel it ramp up every time you kill a demon!

    I still highly recommend it. It's worth every penny. It just doesn't pull at me quite the way DOOM (2016) did, and still does. I like EternalI still highly recommend it. It's worth every penny. It just doesn't pull at me quite the way DOOM (2016) did, and still does. I like Eternal in the same way I like Doom 3. It's Doom, it's just a different flavor of Doom. If Ultimate Doom is Coke, then DOOM is adding a shot of rum, and DOOM Eternal is dumping it all out and getting a Sprite. Tasty, but not quite what I expected. Expand

    DOOM ETERNAL is a very dynamic and interesting game, it keeps you on your toes all the time, the world in which the action takes place is wellDOOM ETERNAL is a very dynamic and interesting game, it keeps you on your toes all the time, the world in which the action takes place is well revealed, a wide range of weapons, from the usual shotgun to the destructive BFG, it is very pleasant to shoot. Perfectly made demons, pieces of their flesh are scattered on the battlefield and it looks really spectacular. The plot is related to the previous parts, but even without playing them, you can figure out what's what as the game progresses. There are many customization options available: costumes for the main character, victory poses, introductions, coloring books for weapons. The multiplayer component is done well, a lot of interesting mechanics, we are given to play for 5 different demons and it is very interesting. Demons can also be customized. At the same time, the game is not perfect, I encountered a couple of unpleasant bugs that made me go through some levels, and sometimes even the entire game. Expand

    A crappy 90s first person shooter with horribly outdated controls thought it could pass as a AAA title if they slapped some 2017 graphics onA crappy 90s first person shooter with horribly outdated controls thought it could pass as a AAA title if they slapped some 2017 graphics on it. Wouldn’t even have been satisfied if I were paid to play this garbage. You basically have two controls and every encounter is the same, so if you have no respect for your time or money then definitely buy this game! Expand
