Doom 2016 is definitely a hit and miss, and after the not-so-successful third installment, id Software's efforts certainly paid off. A return to the good old mechanics and visuals is exactly what gamers wanted from the new DOOM. Add a hefty helping of brutal carnage, hordes of enemies and hectolitres of their blood spilled, along with a hyped-up metal soundtrack, and you have a totally unique gaming experience.

Generally speaking, DOOM is a good game. However, it’s important to note that it’s good, and not great, which is what we were all expecting and hoping for. It’s a game that surprisingly plays it safe and doesn’t do much to stand out from the crowded first person shooter genre.

With an incredible level of visual quality, responsive controls and a kick ass lineup of monsters, it's not to have fun. Everything has been executed in a way that brings the original game back to life for a new generation. This reboot could not have been executed any better. The game succeeded in being everything that it should have and was done with such a high level of polish that it was a huge pleasure to play.

DOOM has done something I think most people would have considered impossible a year ago, bringing a full-featured AAA gaming experience to a device that you can take anywhere...

DOOM has a fantastic campaign but its multiplayer and Snapmap bring it down from absolute greatness.

This is, in my honest opinion, the definitive First Person Shooter, locked and stocked with two smoking barrels. Get ready to fight like hell.

Doom is a game that I did not ever expect to be remade, but it feels great. The combat is fierce, and the game's focus on combat is right on target. The guns feel solid, and the monsters feel vicious. The game looks great and plays smoothly with music and sound that is responsive and as intense as the action in front of you. The glory kills and arenas keep the blood pumping from beginning to end and you definitely earn those upgrade points. Although the load times can be a little annoying, the levels themselves play without any issues after the initial load. Overall, the game is an excellent package, bringing Doom back into modern gaming with the spirit of the old gameplay intact for long time fans and adding features that enhance the experience. If you have a PS4 and you have a passing interest in shooters, do not miss this excellent game.

DOOM’16 is a masterpiece, unique, and a marvel of a game. Well done and follows its core which made the original two DOOM games stand out from the rest. Great visuals, good story, fantastic gameplay and a ton of replay ability with tons of content truly makes DOOM16' a game of pure genius.

In it's full splendor, Doom is a complete package, and a very good one. What stands out above all is it's single player campaign, which is enjoyable from beginning to end, putting us in the least-likely-to-survive situations while queueing and outstanding music reminiscent of the 1993 classic. Multiplayer is not as good, but it's worth a try, especially worth trying out is the ingenious Snap-Map level creator.

For those of us returning home for that rare visit, it's a fun game that'll bring you back to the good ol' days. For everyone else, it's just another game of Euchre..

Doom may not offer some gameplay mechanics that modern shooters heavily rely on, but it definitely provides everything a hardcore shooter fan has ever wished for. The game is filled with fire and blood, the gameplay is fast-paced and the visuals are cutting-edge. Welcome to Hell!

Doom is back and true to the original. If you want to play the best FPS in years, you owe it to yourself to go to Hell (on Mars).

The new DOOM is a great example of how a modern game based on concepts from 23 years ago can work. Despite the fact that the game doesn't bring anything new, it is a grand entertainment, which is only let down by the unremarkable multiplayer.
