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.

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.

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.

DOOM offers nothing innovated, but instead, executes everything that we have already come to know and love about FPS games to perfection.

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.

Given that my love for the original DOOM games continues to compel me to keep playing them till this day. I can happily say that DOOM (2016) scratches everyone of my itches. The Singleplayer is definitely the highlight. With tons of gibs, gore and shotguns to pass around, I was head over heels in love with the campaign.

In conclusion, DOOM is the best game (and also best looking game) I’ve played this year so far and I think it has managed to deliver according to the high expectations about it. Despite its flaws and the -poorly explained- negative reception by some of the media, this is one of the biggest 2016 titles that will be hard to skip if your are able to see how glorious it is. Whether it’s due to the challenge of completing the campaign in every difficulty setting or the huge amount of hours multiplayer mode and snapmap delivers, DOOM keeps giving you a reason to come back.

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.

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.

Instead of naming this current installment Doom 4, id Software decided to rebrand. The all caps'ed DOOM makes sense to me; this game is very much so the original rebuilt with modern technology. We were once given a glimpse of Hell on Mars through a view of 8-bit, now the pain and all its glory shines at 60fps. Changes have been made: the story has been spiced up, Glory kills now fly in your face, the double-jump now creates a ton more platforming, and upgrades of all kinds are everywhere! These changes put DOOM at odds with any current first person shooter out there.

Putting aside the bad multiplayer mode and experience, DOOM was fun at best! It was fast-paced, and it was satisfying – that glory kill move on Baron of Hell was awesome. Graphics surely caught my attention. The world of Hell and Mars in DOOM is one place that every hardcore first-person shooter lovers would get into all over and over again. It was surely, again, enjoyable, and it didn't disappoint me at all.

id Software beweist mit bravour wie man einen Oldschool nach 2016 verfrachtet. Die Kampagne liefert nach einem holprigen Start ein Feuerwerk an Action, Gore und Dämonen und auch der Multiplayer und Snapmap sind absolut gelungen und bieten im Gesamtpaket einen der besten Shooter der letzten Jahre. Von uns gibt es eine klare Empfehlung sowohl an Oldschool Doom Fans als auch Neueinsteiger in die Serie. Gerade die vielen Schwierigkeitsgrade und Oldschool-Mechaniken, werden einige Shooter Fans an ihre Grenzen bringen.

DOOM is a glorious return to form for the franchise. The game oozes classic design while improving itself with new-gen hardware. Exciting combat, glorious kills and enough heavy metal to give you lead poisoning, demons beware! Doom guy has returned!

With a revived, classic feel, an easy-to-use community-focused map editor (SnapMap), and even the ability to unlock classic DOOM maps to play through, this is how a reboot is done.
