Doom Reviews
Doom is exactly what I wanted from a modern take on one of my favorite franchises. There is more than enough meat here to satisfy even the most jaded player.
If you're a fan of fast-paced games, or you love classic shooters with great campaigns, you have to play Doom, period.
DOOM may become repetitious near the end and doesn't take needed risks with mission variety, but it boasts some of the finest shooting mechanics and thoughtful levels we've seen in a first-person shooter in years, pushing it to the very fringes of excellence. The campaign's a head-banging, heavy metal hoot with a surprisingly good backstory, striking visuals, and two decent multiplayer-minded modes to back it up. We'd dare say this could be the Dark Souls of its genre, gripping you with its nonconformity while unleashing its own kind of glorious Hell upon you. However, where this illustration falls apart is how you can raise Hell in return, going on the power trip of a lifetime to rip and tear through legions of demons.
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.
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.
As one Bethesda employee put it: "If you're not into violent, bloody games… DOOM's probably not a game for you". For everyone else, it's impossible not to recommend trying the title. The campaign is where DOOM really shines with its fast-paced, slick, brutally bloody and exhilarating action that mixes old-school gameplay with modern design. The multiplayer is solid if not spectacular, but that may change in time once the game's community begins to experiment with the creation tools in SnapMap. DOOM is back and it's hellishly good.
Buy it for the brilliant single-player, then stick around for the multiplayer and community content. You won't regret that you did.
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.

Doom was crafted by a team that clearly loves the series, delivering chainsaws, explosions, and demon-slaying heavy metal all sealed with a kiss.
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
