Doom Reviews
A solid, speedy, brutal, and surprisingly lengthy campaign combine with an intriguing map-making facility to make Doom a pretty easy recommendation. The multiplayer may not grab you, but there's plenty of content here without it.
Doom's superb campaign makes up for underwhelming multiplayer in id Software's remarkable comeback.
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.
That a first-person shooter like Doom exists in 2016 is shocking. Its levels are vast and intricately designed, its gameplay diverse and joyful, its toolset robust. Multiplayer is its weak link, but the adaptability of SnapMap is more than enough to offset that.
Doom doesn't shy away from the spirit that drove its forebearers to greatness; a decision which cements its relevance despite its predictable structure and unimaginative multiplayer.
The rebooted take on DOOM is a visually impressive and chaotically-paced affair that stands out amongst a sea of other FPS titles, but it's not without its monotonous moments.
The campaign is a glorious, bloody return to form for the godfather of first-person shooters, but the multiplayer and SnapMap can't match
DOOM is almost everything I could have asked for. Its campaign has left my heart literally racing in my chest from sheer excitement. It's fast, impactful, and a damn good lot of fun. Multiplayer and SnapMap may be disappointing by comparison, but the perfection of its better half is greatly elevating and I cannot recommend DOOM enough. This is a first-person shooter you don't want to miss.
id Software knows what it's best at, and it works on honing that talent to a razor's edge. With Doom, id has delivered a highly polished, utterly shameless Hellbound hecatomb that confidently swaggers into the world with gaudy fervor. It's huge, it's preposterous, and it's absolutely bloody majestic.
I had no idea it would be this much fun.
A Satanic shooter that's as gratifying as Hell, DOOM pays due respect to its legacy with a game that delivers on everything that makes the series so great. You need DOOM in your life.
Doom is back and it's better than ever. It's a rage and adrenaline fueled murder fest that won't challenge your perception of what is possible in a game, but it'll help to reinforce the belief that maybe, just maybe gaming has a future that doesn't involve quick time events and pointless cut scenes.
id Software has taken its original, no-BS Doom formula and very successfully repackaged it for the modern era. The result is a thrash metal loud, gloriously gory, blisteringly fast, and thoroughly entertaining oldschool shooter. Both the single-player and multiplayer modes are basically throwbacks to simpler times, but are wrapped up with contemporary trimmings to create a package that fans of the original Doom games should really enjoy.
Not even tacked-on multiplayer or a weak level editor can stop DOOM from being a total blast from start to finish.
DOOM's standout single-player mode and an amazingly innovative map creation tool will make gamers new and old very happy
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.

But if you enjoy honest action, this is a game that must not be missed in your collection and certainly does not make the great-father of the genre a bad name.

Bloody brilliant. Both literally and figuratively. The gore flies as heads explode, as I bounce like a Satanic bunny all over the map at break-neck speeds within a beautiful engine.
If you're a fan of single player games or old school shooters, then DOOM will definitely get your satisfaction make you thirty for more blood over 10 hours of back-to-back action and excitement. You can also unleash your creativity and create your own levels and challenges with the SnapMap. However, you'll be let down by the multiplayer modes that lack any challenge or improvement.

id Software completely nailed the core experience of the single player campaign and although I did find myself suffering from the occasional craving of more detail and immersion in the story, by the time the credits rolled I had to put my controller down and take a breather. Only for a second before upping the difficulty and diving in again. What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment.
