Doom Reviews
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 2016 DOOM's rebellion is smaller than its predecessor, but still impressive: it is unabashedly itself. It's a game with confidence in the worth of revisiting its history and an earnest belief that doing so can result in much more than an empty exercise in nostalgia.
Your enjoyment of Doom is going to depend greatly on the mode you're playing and your acceptance of the tweaks to the classic formula. In multiplayer, you'll have fun as long as you keep in mind that this is a blend of every other multiplayer first-person shooter instead of simply being Doom with prettier graphics. If you're playing the campaign, it feels like a welcome evolution of the series, since the classic elements meld rather well with the modern touches. If your attention is on Snapmap, then you'll find that the game has some long legs thanks to an easy-to-learn system that has already produced loads of content for solo and multiplayer situations. Either way, you're getting a complete package that celebrates the pure adrenaline-pumping action that brought so many to the genre in the first place. Doom is absolutely a worthy entry to any genre fan's library.
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.
The multiplayer and SnapMap portions will likely improve over time, especially with the Season Pass content, as no one will want to purchase extra content until the multiplayer smooths out. The multiplayer aside, the true appeal to the game remains in the single-player campaign, which is how it was and should be with a DOOM title.
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.

Nostalgia is prominent throughout Doom's intense and repeating action encounters against glorious and tormenting foes.
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!

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.
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.
…the verticality of DOOM's level design and the sheer audaciousness of the constant balls-to-the-wall action quash any notion of repetitiveness or mundanity that could usually be associated with such a simple game structure
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..
Guns, gore and demons. The classic DOOM is back and it's better than ever. With a glorious and immensely satisfying single player experience, DOOM is one of the best shooters of year. Shame it can't be said about the multiplayer, but at least with the addition of intuitive SnapMap you can create your very own Hell.
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.
Doom is a game that focuses on having a kickass campaign and tries to have a fun multiplayer but doesn't. The game also gives us a nice feature known as SnapMap that I didn't expect to be so good. Doom isn't perfect but it surely isn't a bad game. If you are looking for a different type of shooter or just a new game to add to the shelf, then Doom is an excellent choice. If you are looking for a multiplayer experience that will blow you away, then Doom probably isn't a good choice.
DOOM is available now on the PS4, PC and Xbox One. It was developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. This review covers the PS4 version of the game.
DOOM has a fantastic campaign but its multiplayer and Snapmap bring it down from absolute greatness.
DOOM has no business being a good game, yet it may end of being one of 2016's best.
