    The gameplay of Doom Eternal fits perfectly with the game, everything has a place in the big picture. even the mauraders have a place in the game along with the chainsaw and yes even the monkey bars. The story of Doom Eternal I would give a 6/10 but the gameplay and music make up got it exponentially

    DOOM Eternal is simply a great experience from start to finish. It's fun but difficult, it looks great, it has unique locations, etc. My one big complaint is the lack of multiplayer and map editor. It would be a 10 if it not for the missing content the last game included.

However the game isn’t perfect due to certain game design choices. Platforming plays a much bigger role this time around however it feels very lackluster, the game is also much more punishing in relation to health and ammo which breaks the flow of the game sometimes and there are also minor annoyances that I have including the marauder enemy type which is a chore to defeat as well as fps drops when running against certain walls. Overall its a great game that is pretty much on par with the previous game and is definitely worth picking up.… Expand

The graphics are great, the music is good, and the performance is phenomenal. The downsides are the severe limitations that it puts on you and its storytelling.

    You're basically always low on health, armor and ammo. You need to burn, blast, shoot and carve your way through a seemingly endless onslaught of enemies that feel as though they're a little too accurate. The combat can be very frustrating, but when you finally get through the challenge, you feel so good about the victory that the frustration gets pushed away. This game is NOT Doom 2016. Expect things to be Doom 2016's endgame difficulty at the start and it only goes up from there. It's very give and take and die until you win. The enemies have unique mechanics that (once you learn them) will make your life a lot easier. Once you get used to the resource management, enemy mechanics and using all of your mobility options all the time, the game really is like having hell on Earth.

    The storytelling doesn't have the same presence as in Doom 2016, or its predecessor, Doom 3. I think the narrative should have more presence, but let's face the truth. This is Doom. It throws you into the action and story is there as a side note. For those that are wondering why is Vega with you in your suit and your base? That answer is simple. In Doom 2016 when you destroyed Vega, you made a copy of him and put him in your suit. How did you get off mars? You're the friggin' Doomguy. You're a walker of Armageddon. You're able to go between Hell and Earth freely. The loopholes aren't really loopholes as much as they're people not paying attention. If you want the story, pay attention to the narrative, what Doomguy does and the codex. Playing Doom 2016 will help with knowing his backstory. Doom 2016 was a retelling of Doom 1993, Doom Eternal is a retelling of Doom 2.

    Overall, the game is amazing. Pay attention to everything and don't expect anything to handed to you. The game is an astounding take on Armageddon. I'm looking forward to what they do next.    … Expand

This game, is absolutely EVERY SINGLE THING a metal head, fast paced lover, intense gamer loves. From the idea that you are a one man army vaporizing an entire species of demons as a consequence of their Earth invasion, to the game ENCOURAGING you to glory kill (a brief, but intense first person kill scene triggered by pressing the melee button near a grazed demon, causing it to be gored, either with the Slayers bare hands, or his melee blade, or shotgun) as it rewards you with health, or as I like to perceive it, a adrenaline rush provided to the Slayer. I never thought, a game like this could provide me with such energy from being a couch potato. How can you not feel ready to ready to carry an entire truck after fiercely gripping your controller from the super intense djent metal music playing in the background as you are on a quest to basically kill the khan maykr, the crooked, selfish traitor responsible for the demon invasion of earth?!??.… Expand

This game has everything, it has great graphics, fun and unique enemy’s to slay, light and not to hard puzzles, amazing arenas, things to explore for things like cool demon figures, sound tracks, cheat codes, and upgrades for your suit and weapon upgrades. Also ammo management isn’t too hard because you never run out of chainsaw fuel to rip the ammo out of the zombie demon. But one especially good thing is that every weapon that you get in the game feels unique and I never found myself not using every weapon for every “mortality challenged” enemy. But this wouldn’t be a full review if I didn’t say anything about the marauders which were not too bad actually. Everyone says they’re the worst because of their difficultly, but if you just leave them for last and it’s pretty easy. Anyways 9/10, a great introduction to the Doom series and I can’t wait for more DLC’s and the next entry.… Expand

Every arena is a glorified flowchart where you're assessing your ammo, health, and armor reserves at every given moment.

И вот наконец мы дождались! 2020 помимо короновируса подарил нам один из лучших, если не самый лучший на этой умирающей планете безбожный наимяснейший шутер от первого лица. Мы снова в роли Палача Рока нарубаем полчища демонов в фарш и прочие мясные деликатесы. Теперь основное место событий это Земля, которую заполонили сатанинские отродия с целью уничтожения под корень человеческой рассы для получения их душ, из которых производится аргент-энергия, ибо так повелел древний орден Ночных Стражей и Кан Созидательница. Земля конечно основное место сражения, но далеко не единственное куда нас закинет сюжет. Мы с вами побываем на Фобосе, заглянем в марсианский город Гебет, заскочим в ад и посетим мир Творцов, также время от времени мы конечно же будем посещать наш опорный пункт мрачную обитель и космическую крепость Думгая - как понимаете, география весьма обширная и визуально разнообразная, чего явно не доставало 2016 году. История Doom Eternal увлекательная и мобильная под стать самим сражениям в игре. За ней действительно интересно следить и она не сбивает темп происходящего, всё прекрасно впитывается на одном дыхании в бешеном ритме практически без остановок. А какое тут визуальное сопровождение!!! Все эти бесчисленные руины, поверженные титаны, а некоторые ещё и очень даже живые медленной поступью, сотрясая землю, проходят мимо. Весьма впечатляет, я вам скажу!!! И это только Земля, остальные миры под стать главному полю боя, они по своему великолепны. Бои с полчищами демонов по прежнему потрясающие, ни секунды покоя - только трэш и расчлененка в самом лучшем виде. Головокружительный драйв противостояний по накалу примерно сопоставим с предыдущей частью. Я не очень понимаю тех людей, которые говорят, что Eternal прямо-таки в разы интенсивнее и сложнее предыдущей части. Как по мне в 2016 были арены значительно сложнее нежели в новом, где ты уже просто из последних сил с одним процентом здоровья трясущимися руками и шатаясь на полусогнутых кровавым плевком с горстью своих зубов убивал последнего Властелина Тьмы. Да конечно в Eternal игрока неподготовленного к думовым разборкам будут размазывать тонким слоем по поверхности в считанные секунды, под остальных же игра вполне приспосабливается и даёт все возможности быстро не погибнуть, а в критическом случае подкинуть слабенького монстряку на оздоровляющий распил. Огнестрельный арсенал Палача Рока претерпел незначительные изменения - убрали никому ненужный пистолет и добавили баллисту, ну и конечно косметически подрихтовали уже классический набор, вести огонь из которого ни с чем несравнимое удовольствие...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brutal and dynamic, describes the game pretty well. It took me about 15 hours, played on Ultra-Brutal, got 555 gamerscore and had a hell of a lot of fun.

    story

    What do you want, give me the gun! Seriously, I actually liked the story a lot. It was interesting enough, and I don't give the story the highest priority in a game like this. I've read a few entries in the Code and dossiers, but by no means all. I didn't want to lose the gameplay momentum and listened more to the cut scenes or monologues. Well enough for me to keep you happy.

    Presentation / graphics / performance

    A board of game. I think Doom: Eternal looks really cool. Sufficiently varied and also very large areas really invite you to marvel. The brutality, the aesthetics, the architectural design of the levels was terrific (I thought Urdak, for example, was really awesome).

    The performance on the Series X is almost perfect. The game ran 99% of the time, despite the very high dynamics, the many different effects, colors, etc. without any problems. Strangely enough, when I tried to pull myself up on an edge, I often had short frame breaks.

    Also in the last level I had a flickering edge from hell, a restart fixed it right away.

    The appearance of the opponents and weapons fits perfectly into the game and is partly known from the predecessor.

    The music does the rest and always makes you want to go to the next round of combat in the area.

    There are also humorous passages, such as the Doom Guy deals with a scientist. It's funny.

    Gameplay

    It is the centerpiece and really tears in. The combined gameplay of Glory-Kill = health or bloodbeat, chainsaw = ammunition and flamethrower = armor enables a dynamic in the game that can lead to a real flow of bloodlust. It took me some time to get in at the beginning, but once you understand it, it just goes off.

    You really notice how you improve with several hours of play and get into this "flow" more and more often.

    In addition, there are the outstanding weapons, all of which I enjoyed except for the rocket launcher. I've used every weapon over and over and the super shotgun with fire chain is one of my favorites. With the rocket launcher, I always had the problem that the dynamics became too fast for me and I very often killed myself. But later on I also found my use for the part here.

    There are also countless upgrade options for weapons and armor, as well as certain runes that make the game easier, because it has been a tough challenge. E.g. Funnily enough, I really liked the sniper upgrade for the heavy weapon, as it is a great feeling to target the weak points of larger opponents in the middle of the dynamic.

    There is so much to discover, the game rewards you with secrets, some of which can be exhibited in the HUB. I also find the HUB very nice and I have always looked around there and e.g. listened to the records.

    So all gold that glitters? Not quite.

    The puzzles (as a "decelerating" element, which I found okay in and of itself) were extremely easy and very lame, and the jump passages weren't really my thing either. I also found these rather boring and would have liked to have had more demanding passages.

    And as with Doom 2016, I would have liked to have had more bosses. So I mean real boss opponents who don't appear later as easy opponents. Doom is actually ideal for horny boss counters.

    Speaking of opponents: The Marauder is the biggest crap I've seen in the shooter genre. I didn't enjoy the guy at all and even took it away from me. Later you get littered with the enemy and it's just annoying, especially his messed up dog. Even when I found out how to fight him, it didn't change anything about the fact that it wasn't fun.

    Conclusion

    The best shooter I've played in a long time. The fighting dynamics are simply unmatched and you can literally play your way into a room. I didn't like a few features but overall an absolute recommendation 9/10 demon sacrifice.    … Expand

    Doom Eternal is the best Doom game since 64, the best game bethesda has made in years and probably the best doom game ever made.

ID has managed to innovate and create something original, new, fresh. The first person shooter feeling becomes very strategic in how you kill your opponents. You need to manage your health, armor and ammo to stay alive. Sometimes that means killing your enemies in specific ways. Reinventing the run and gun campaign. You won't mindlessly shoot AI enemies, you will be forced to think fast or... die. A The campaign was very fun, challenging and something I'll be playing again.

    ....but the Marauder can be deleted from the games code. I mean that. It's a terrible enemy especially for this game. It is the only enemy that slows game play down to a crawl. And you do one mechanic against him; wait, get shot at see green eyes and shoot with a shotgun. Only a shotgun, any other gun is useless against him as far as I'm concerned. Delete that awful enemy, the fighting mechanic you make us do against him is not fun! Lastly I'd say that there is a lack of freedom in the game with the ammo, armor and health system. An alternative would have been nice, like a classic mode or something. DOOM fan boys will show their disgust with the system by rating 0's and leaving long ranted posts about how much they hate everything, don't listen to them ID Software!

При этом геймплейно с первых минут создатели, будто бы "невзначай", говорят: вы знали на что шли, никакого разогрева, сразу прыгайте в пекло товарищи.

The soundtrack is god tier, making you truly feel like the Slayer. Most of the missions are pretty good, the stories good, and the lore is all good. However, the game is brought down to a 9 for me because of the seemingly low amount of missions, that it seems like there isn't much of a need for a mission select button. There also isn't much of a reason to replay levels, unless playing on higher difficulties. This is in thanks to a fast travel feature, unlocked near the end of the level, which allows you to fast travel to points across the map. This allows you to quickly collect collectibles and complete optional encounters. Overall though, its a fantastic game.… Expand

It perfected the push-forward styled combat from 2016 and has pushed the DOOM franchise incredibly far. The combat loop is very satisfying, getting you to constantly scan your environment for ways to continue fighting (fodder demons to chainsaw/flame belch, monkey bars to dodge foes, important demons to focus on and fodder location, etc.) and is very rewarding. The game isn't afraid to kick your ass, which is appreciated from 2016 which was pretty easy, even in the late game. While the restricted ammo may come across as an annoyance, it helps reinforce the combat loop and gets your brain to constantly scan the environment for ammo pickups/fodder and to monitor your ammo levels. There's a reason the chainsaw now recharges, to get you into that combat loop. 2016 let you go through everything with the Super Shotgun, becoming rather boring later in the game. DOOM: Eternal gives you incentive to use each weapon. Some enemies have weakpoints, areas where if damaged reduce their damage or even mobility. Some weapons/mods do more/less damage to weakpoints, incentivizing you to switch your weapons frequently and again, scan the arena. It's not a mindless shooter where you're constantly killing everything (kinda like 2016 ngl), you have to think about importance of targets, ammo capacity, weakpoints, weapons on hand, mods, and so much more. It's incredible how much fun it is to fly around an arena switching weapons like mad as you cut down the legions of Hell. The story in DOOM games as never been important, but the story in DOOM: Eternal is pretty interesting (at least to me :P). It's handled much better than in 2016, since you can skip any cutscene. 2016 had 2 parts where Hayden just spieled at you for a couple minutes in a tiny room. Now, most of the story is told in skipable cutscenes and Codex entries. Speaking about Codex entries, the secrets in this game are much cooler. While you can't play retro levels as the Slayer, you can play DOOM and DOOM II in the Fortress of Doom. To access the original DOOM, you need to collect every cheat code hidden throughout the levels and in the Fortress. There's also the toys, being models of demons instead of Praetor suit variants. A bit off topic, but the environments are absolutely gorgeous with some of the best level design in DOOM history. Everywhere you look you'll see something interesting, whether it's a dead demon or a grand view the game is beautiful. If you enjoyed DOOM 2016 you will definitely get a kick out of this game. Even if you've never played a DOOM game before, now is a great time to start.

    My ONLY negative is that Battlemode is lackluster. Still interesting but definitely needs some more work.

    So all in all, this game is amazing, down to the combat loop, environment, exploration, rewards, story, and more. Rip and tear, until it is DONE!    … Expand

    After 20+ hours and the final battle I felt literally exhausted. The gameplay pace is insane especially on the higher difficulties. Demons slaying is super satisfying. New strategic layer demanding using different weapons against different monsters/weak points is an improvement imo.

    Loved it's art direction, color palette, arcade-ish approach to pick-ups and UI. If you want some true si-fi horror go (re)play Dead Space, where you are constantly haunted... In Doom Eternal they are haunted, because a Doom Slayer entered the facility!
    Loved both Doom 2016 & Eternal but find the latter more fun and addicting.
    Why 8/10? For two reasons: forced platforming/jumping often annoys, and the game is too short for the money (paid 99 eur for deluxe). More end game activities and/or progression would be appreciated. I know it sounds like a heresy to orthodox gamers, but RPG elements & loot would fit perfectly such game as Doom Eternal.

And to address some of the arguments made by some of the negative reviewers would also not fit in the word cap for the things i have to say about them. but the one thing i will address is "its to cartoony and arcady. if you loved the last game you are going to hate this one."

    1st) if you loved doom 2016 so much then i would assume that you would have followed the progression of eternal. and if you did do so the you would know that they were going to go with a more cartoony and arcady art style. if you want a gritty serious game you cans stick with cod, doom 3, and doom 2016, while me and the rest of us will have fun with this game.

    2nd) I know its not only me that loved doom 2016 and currently love doom eternal, right? i mean it kind of speaks for itself with the overly positive reviews and all.

The level design throughout the game as been changed to help you adapt to the new gameplay style. You'll need to keep moving by swinging, dashing and jumping between platforms and walkways to ensure your victory. This change with the movement coupled with an AI that will show you no mercy make for a shooter that is both fun and a force to be reckoned with. The story is solid as well, giving a little more backstory to The Doom Slayer through cutscenes that are more cinematic this time around. In addition to that Doom Eternal also expands on the Doom lore and answered some questions fans may have been left with at the end of Doom 2016 via Codex Entries. The game has also improved with the graphics as well. While Doom 2016 was designed with more horror elements in mind, with darker environments and a color pallet mostly consisting of brown and red, Doom Eternal has a far more vibrant array of colors. Higher quality textures and model improvements for the demons help them stick out from the background more while also changing up a few designs from 2016 to look closer to their original 1993 designs. With all this the only real gripes I have with the game is I wish it was a little longer and I wish there was more to the multiplayer. I feel Doom 2016 had a story that was longer by maybe a few chapters with definitive Acts in between each major boss. With Doom Eternal I feel like it was all just one really long act. The Multiplayer is also lacking slightly, with only one game mode at the time of writing this it can get stale after a few matches. Overall, Doom Eternal is incredible! With many different ways to replay the game once you've completed the campaign, collectables which give rewards such as high resolution models of all of your enemies and soundtracks from previous ID software titles, on top of a gory mess of fun makes, Doom Eternal my FPS of 2020.… Expand

First off the soundtrack is great and quite possibly one of my favourite things about the game. With the heavy music hyping you up and letting you know you're in for (excuse the pun) hell of a time, to the gothic hellish chants upon. The music really sets adds to the immersion factor. That said, as you battle on Earth the dark and heavy feel of the game is momentarily swept away coutsey of a charming sounding female hologram who in her chirpy tone really sells the benefits of a literal Hell on Earth that I found entertaining to listen to and almost willing to invest in due to her confidence and charismatic pitches, but alas demons need brutally slaughtered, so on we push. Visually the game delivers and updates from it's predecessor, with redesigned demons and maps that are detailed and almost picturesque in a hellish sort way. Gameplay is great. The game pits you Humanitys last hope against the hellish demonic legions. Unyielding and relentless in their attack (and that's on easy) leaves you feeling the helplessness of the situation for the Human Race, HOWEVER, you are the slayer, with sickengly well polished and designed mechanics that I'm convinced somebody on the dev team sold their soul, the game may be fustrating and give you the odd game over, however it feels like it was your mistake rather than an op demon or some sort of bug that dammed your soul to the firey depth os satan abyss, loading back in making a few adjustments to your play, be it using another weapon, using more of the given map, using the flamer to get some quick armor or maybe being more liberal with the chainsaw use to get ammo. The game challenges you to play better that gives yoy a sense of accomplishment for pushing through. However I don't feel the journey is over just yet and the unrelenting army of Hell is going to lay quiet for too long. Overall: A must have for any FPS fan, needing intense focus this game won't play nicely with others. Even easy can be a challenge.… Expand

The climbing wall are a low point though. I feel it enforces you in a vulnerable state where I don't feel totally in control.    It is a great game.

I feel it enforces you in a vulnerable state where I don't feel totally in control. They feel unilateral since each time you see one, it indicates a place you MUST go. The running and shooting feels great (litle hiccups with some elements like props or wall shutting you off or too complicated level art that causes you to hit collision that you did not see). 9/10

    Visual : The visual is gorgeous. Perhaps some low points are reuse of some pieces around (like the mechas) or statues with some shader or materials that also could be improve in some places. Other than that, it is mindblowingly stunning. Animation is a treat. FX are awesome. Lighting is delightful. Environments are just crazy. 10/10 for visuals.

    Music : 10/10... jesus

    Cons :

    Overall I feel the game is too stressful. I feel I get PTSD each time I want to get back to play. It is even forcing me to take 1 hour sessions each time. In comparison, I was able to binge 2016. Can't do on this one. It is a con for people that just can't take dying alot and shooting their hearts out.

    Some features are just plain frustrating. The first time you play, ammo are just... a nail in the foot. You get around later with the battle patterns and using chainsaw on smaller mobs become's a reflex, but for a time, it is really annoying. The purple glue is frustrating in combination with big fights. The collisions around the pools are not clear, sometimes you get stuck trying to walk out. I would fix the collisions to ease out the player path.

    The regular punch.... god. It is by far the most low point of this game. Why model DoomGuy with huge biceps if it just to make him push demons around. Gameplay wise, it is a really frustrating change from 2016 where the punches felt great. Please change this.

    Alot of bugs on my playsession. I don't know how ultra-nightmare works, but 2 times i was forced to just reload last checkpoint. If you can't reload lastcheckpoint in that mode, I think it is a game breaker.

    I love the game, don't get me wrong. The little nitpicking shows the game high standard. Definitly a buy for people who needs actions and to stump demons around! RIP AND TEAR, UNTIL IT IS DONE!.    … Expand

    This game is awesome, I finished it, I did the master levels and some online games.
    The only difficulty comes from the new gameplay,
    you are as (or even more) powerful than in DOOM 2016,
    Yeah, there's not much ammunition, but you've got a way to recover it every ten seconds.
    Same with the armor, and the glory kill system is still here,
    the only downside here is that there's not a lot of different animation.

    There's more platforming than in DOOM 2016 and so? I personally find that it's not a problem it even helps a lot during the combat phases by making them generally more nervous and intense.
    The platforming phases between two arenas are not even difficult none of them requiring QTE-type interaction (unless you are a bit far from a wall to climb)
    All environments and levels are varied and colorful, not something you can see in 90 minutes of play.

    So I recommend this game to all players who are Hungry for fast FPS, gore and guts, and more specifically, for DOOM.

    I thought this game was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good.

Each enemy type having specific strengths and weaknesses. And I must say: they succeeded. This idea came through beautifully in the finished product! And it wasn't    I thought this game was gonna be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good.

    1) Combat

    The developers have stated again and again in interviews that they want this game to elicit similar strategies to a game of chess. Each enemy type having specific strengths and weaknesses. And I must say: they succeeded. This idea came through beautifully in the finished product!

    And it wasn't just the enemies. The Slayer's moveset had some more strategy put in as well! Most notable is the lack of ammo in your reserves. You have very little ammo in this game and you're constantly running out. However, this actually comes off as a plus. Why? Because it gives you the opportunity to unleash your chainsaw on the closest demon fodder! What's more, is that your chainsaw fuel constantly recharges on it's own (and rather quickly too) so you'll never be without ammo if you play your cards right.

    2) Style Change

    There's been a slight, but very noticeable, style shift from the last Doom game. Its surprisingly silly and cartoony, and I'm kinda into it. A lot more Demon punching slapstick. Plus, the ammo/health pickups greatly resemble the original, magical, floating Doom pickups, giving it a more cartoony/fantasy vibe. A bit of an adjustment from Doom (2016), but all in the service of making the game more arcade fun.

    And a bit of a side note: Eternal is a whole lot more colorful, and I totally dig it.

    3) Exploration / Level Pacing

    In Doom (2016), my biggest problem with the game was that the levels were a slog to get through. This was mostly caused by the fact that I was constantly switching between a combat mindset and an exploration mindset. I'd complete a combat encounter, then explore the area for collectables. This slowed the game down to a crawl.

    In Eternal, this isn't a problem. I can safely skip all the collectables in a level and focus on the combat. Why? Because of the simple addition of fast travel; unlocked near the end of each level. Once I reach the end of a level, I can fast travel back to key sections and find everything I need to make my inner collector happy!

    And if you don't care about searching the level for weapon upgrades, you can skip exploration entirely! You're awarded these through combat challenges as well. So don't worry if you're not into playing hide n' seek with collectables.

    4) Story

    Probably the most divisive part of the game are the prominince of the story and cutscenes. Not to worry! If you're not into that, they aren't essential to you're enjoyment, and they're completely skippable. (Except for the opening 30 seconds, but it's not story based or anything like that.)

    Of course, if you're like me, you will be very interested to see where the story goes. There's a whole lotta story beats involving the Slayer's past that I think y'all will like. I certainly did. Anyways, its kept rather vague, so if you want to know everything, better bust out those Codex entries.

    However, if you're not interested at all in the story there are still some Codex entries you might get a kick out of! Take a look at "History of the Sentinals - Part IX" (Last 2 Paragraphs), "History of the Sentinals - Part XIV" (All of It), and "Super Shotgun" (Last Paragraph). All of those are pretty badass.

    5) Summary

    The only thing keeping it from a 10/10 are some minor nitpicks. This game is amazing and I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is honestly one of the best FPS games I’ve had ever played before. The movement in this game (for some reason a big criticism about this game) is very fluid especially after getting the “Air Control” rune and combined with the good controls, I like it, but I honestly disagree with about how people say this game focuses on the air movement when in reality it’s **** cool to swing around like a monkey and it’s supposed to help you to get around arena environments easier. Overall I feel like the game does put a lot of pressure on you in terms of ammo, yes I did like how I had a very large supply of ammo in DOOM 2016, but having less ammo ment that I had to be smarter about the weapons I used, since you only have such limited ammo, the game does give you tips for specific characters like for the marauder you need to shoot him when his eyes turn green or for the mancubus that you shoot out his hand cannons, cannons? (plus I loved how fluid the crucible felt like). But obviously you can collect the sentinel crystals all around the game to get more health, armor, and ammo. Something else that came out to me is some people are saying how the story is flat, it’s a doom game, it’s not supposed to be a game based on a huge ass story.


    Now my only complaint is about the Battlemode (which gave this rating a 9) Now yes I do know it isn’t the “show” of the game but when I played battlemode for the first time playing as the slayer I was being pretty overwhelmed about the amount of things you have to take in, take for example, needing to pay attention where the demons are, needing to chose the right time to use the chainsaw etc. Those did not really affect me afterwards but some of the demons are pretty strong in there own ways, especially the marauder. But overall, it’s a cool idea, but it was just kind of if ID threw a dart at a board blindly and almost got to the bullseye but didn’t really hit it at all.

    But I can highly recommend this game for mostly its campaign. So if you’re thinking of buying the game, buy it, but if you want to waste more money for like the deluxe edition then I suggest looking a bit deeper into the game to see if you like it.    … Expand

    Introduction

    This game is such an improvement since the reboot of doom that was released in 2016. The exploration is better, collectibles and secrets are fun to find and unlock. The sceneries and locations are beautiful to explore and look at whilst the gameplay is the classic rip and tear that intices the lovers like me. Gameplay is fluid at a stable 60fps with no slowdown. Glory kill animations are fluid and gory as DOOM can be with variations depending on angle of glory kill. The weakness areas are a cool new thing they added to change up the combat a little. Everything about this game is brilliant.

    Story

    Without any spoilers the story is absolutely brilliant and doom slayer is bigger and more badass than the previous title. The length of the campaign is at a reasonable length.

    To rap this up I can definitely see this being mine and many others goty contenders.

The music is spectacular, you feel it ramp up every time you kill a demon! And in my opinion there isn’t a better fps on the market. Doom Eternal is for me a 666 out of 10 would definitely recommend.

You can upgrade your gun mods as well as the suit and the abilities it has to offer. Also getting ammo and health is fun, by using the chainsaw as a necessary mechanic for getting ammo has made it key and fun since it makes you not only get ammo easy but also fun to watch on how detailed the animations of teared demons are. Also you cannot use it always as it has a cooldown and forcing you to get gather more fuel for higher demons so you don’t spam the thing. As the previous game did it, the glory kills are the way to get health in crucial moments during fights and as it was, the animations are so fun to watch. The game has some nice story though is not as deep as I though but it’s good since the combat and gamplay is the strongest feature. You now have a base which is greatly detailed and has some nice unlockables although it could have more elements that could make it more fun, but it is fun to explore. Overall it has become my favorite FPS of all time and I love what they did to refresh the franchise. Oh and the music is hands down a master piece.

    Doom Eternal is an outstanding entry in the series marredby a few setbacks. There is a ton of content including one of the best shooter campaigns I have played this generation. The push and pull method of the combat is addictive to master and a blast to play. Everything looks and sounds fantastic and this is a game that makes me smile as a fan since the beginning. While the generation may be coming to an end, Doom Eternal is one of the games that will send it off with a bang.
