Doom (2016) Reviews
If you've been searching for a bombastic single player FPS, then you need not look any further than this new DOOM game. If you want a special multiplayer experience, though, DOOM doesn't deliver as well.
A confident resurgence of one of the FPS genre's pioneering efforts; DOOM not only manages to boast perhaps the finest single-player campaign in the genre but also a blissfully entertaining multiplayer suite and map editor to boot. Make no mistake, this is DOOM 2.0 and it's one of the very best shooters you can buy on PS4 right now.
If you like first person shooters, if you're an old DOOM fan, or if you just like killing demons, treat yourself to DOOM 2016. It's going to amaze me if id Software decides to not do a follow-up to this game, and Bethesda/ZeniMax would be crazy not to let this studio basically do whatever the hell it wants to after this release.
Buy it for the brilliant single-player, then stick around for the multiplayer and community content. You won't regret that you did.
As Doom returns, will you want to go to hell, or just stay home?
There can be no dispute that DOOM is back. The campaign brings the glory of the '90s screaming back with heavy metal, blood and guts. But the multiplayer mode feels confused and the Snapmap level editor needs to add some serious content for modders to play with. Regardless, DOOM's campaign is reason enough to dive back into Hell.
An essential of the modern FPS brought directly from the 90s.

DOOM it's a great game. It is a great FPS that stays true to its roots but with certain adjustments necessary for this time. I think fans of the series will find it fascinating while the new generations could also draw your attention to everything the series stands for. The most important thing is that after so many years, this new DOOM feels and plays like a classic. Keep your combat frantic and addictive with epic fights against demons and final bosses.

Despite a troubled development, Doom is a confident, cracking throwback that pays loving tribute to its much-vaunted forefathers while bringing the noise via cutting edge tech. In a world awash with sci-fi hitscan shooters, it's a breath of fiery air that will delight as it melts faces.
It's a gorgeous, gruesome beauty, but only inches removed from shooter conventions 15 years past their prime.
Doom's triumphant return to hell makes old school the new hotness
There's no Doom and gloom here; this new game is a hell of a good time.
DOOM is a fast-paced and balls-to-the-wall symphony of carnage. It's gory, action-packed and holds no punches, and is successful because it puts fun first.
Intelligent, fresh and endlessly enjoyable, Doom is more than a tribute to its beloved progenitor. Taken in its own right, this is the most finely crafted, technically impressive pure shooter in over a decade, proving that id Software, even after 26 years, is an adept, sophisticated game-maker.
When it comes down to it, the new Doom is superbly fun. While there are nods to the previous games in the series, there are times where it does not "feel" like a Doom game. That does not deter from the overall experience. The game is gorgeous, sounds great, and offers reasons to come back and play.
Doom is a near-perfect return to form
This is the Doom you've been waiting for, packed with gruesome, unrelenting action, gore and one of the finest monster menageries in gaming.
DOOM is unrepentantly old school. It's gore porn to the max, a ballet of bullets and blood that I can't get enough of. Satisfyingly brutal, solid and most importantly, fun.
Doom (2016) is a great addition to an oversaturated genre thanks to an excellent campaign, a polished old-school shooting experience and a creative SnapMap mode. Admittedly, the multiplayer, while competent, pales in comparison to the single-player experience. For Doom fans and newcomers looking for a different experience from today's typical shooters, however, this game's back-to-the-basics approach is devilishly fun.
