Doom Reviews
It still lacks atmosphere. It's still remarkably competent without actually pushing the genre forwards. It's still a multiplayer experience that I'm betting will shrink to a tiny community in months.
It's a gorgeous, gruesome beauty, but only inches removed from shooter conventions 15 years past their prime.
DOOM 2016, whether you call it an expansion of existing lore or a rebooting of the story for a modern audience, is a good game. It's not great though, as the run-and-gun pace and gore can only sustain gameplay for so long in a limited setting. It makes up for some of the repetitiveness, however, by providing fast and often tense battles that, even on the PS4, maintain a mostly high framerate.
If you like a more-than-decent shooter and lots of blood splatters on your television screen, 'DOOM' remains a force to be reckoned with. I just wish the game was a little more fun to play. But be free to ignore my non-populist opinion, and buy this game. Regret your purchase, you won't.
DOOM has a fantastic campaign but its multiplayer and Snapmap bring it down from absolute greatness.
A fun, engaging throwback with a few flaws
Doom is a brilliant homage to the spirit, and hellish gore, of old PC shooters.
As graceful a marriage of old school action and modern sensibilities as you could probably hope for, despite the so-so multiplayer and repetitive setting.
Doom's single-player recalls great FPS action from a simpler time, but its multiplayer misses more than it hits.
Not the best shooter in the world but far from the worst, Doom returns to gory glory by delivering a solid - if standard - story-light single-player, a forgettable multiplayer mode and a third mode which plays out like Halo world building in the bowels of hell. If you are an FPS or Doom fan , you will love it but if FPS's aren't your thing, Doom isn't going to be the game to change that.
The 2016 Doom reboot shares more in common with the 1993 original than its 2004 sequel. But who cares when it cranks up the demon slaying to 11?
Nostalgia is prominent throughout Doom's intense and repeating action encounters against glorious and tormenting foes.
The level of customization for your multiplayer character is massive and on completion of a match you can get some nice rewards, these can include: new gear sets, colors and weapons.
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.

Doom is a fantastic single-player experience bundled with a weak multiplayer component. If you're looking for a fast, intense and fun shooter, you'll have a hard time finding anything better on the market than Doom. If you're hoping for something that carries that same intensity over to multiplayer, you'll be disappointed. Snap Map adds some extra value to the package, but at the end of the day, the real fun is slaughtering the forces of Hell with your super shotgun. It's not quite a return to the days of old, but it's still one of the best shooters on the market.
It's hard going back to the real world after a few hours with Doom. It will feel slow and mundane when compared to the experience of being an over the top, badass action hero, who destroys Hell one demon at a time; half the time with his cool arsenal of weapons, the other half with his hands! Sure, it won't create a revolution like the 1993 original, and some of its aspects (like the multiplayer) are flawed, but id Software's newest creation deserves carrying its heavy name, and is one of the few triple-A titles worthy of a full price-tag.
The classic hellish game you love, with a few enhancements. First person shooter fans will love it.
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.
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..
Overall, I feel that this is a solid addition to the DOOM franchise, and I am looking forward to what Bethesda has in store for the future of the series. If you are a fan of the game Killing Floor, then this is a game for you.
