DOOM - Nintendo Switch Edition Reviews
Doom 64's remaster is essentially the same experience players got back in 1997. After nearly 24 years, does it still hold its own against contemporary shooters?
For those that already played through Doom on other platforms, getting the game for Nintendo Switch isn’t a must buy in the way that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was. Even so, this is a very admirable port that gives Switch owners another AAA option to pick up just in time for the holidays.
This may not be the definitive way to play this instant classic, but Doom on the Switch manages to capture the violent and rampaging essence of the experience very well.
DOOM is one of the best shooters of all time, proving that with the convincing atmosphere it creates, as impressive as the one created by the first games in the series. It's a game that every gamer should try.

Not the best version of Doom, but it is the most portable.
DOOM does more than fill a niche currently unoccupied on Switch. It's a standout shooter that blurs the line between fps and action game. With a detailed campaign and plenty of additional modes to keep you coming back, DOOM is more than worthy of a place in your catalog.
Doom for the Nintendo Switch delivers the goods. Featuring the enveloping and addictive mechanics that made the original such a landmark title, this newest version of one of the most significant games in history features a fantastic campaign mode, a magnificent soundtrack and a consistently solid performance on Nintendo's hybrid console.

DOOM Nintendo Switch Edition rocks, it's still an incredibly enjoyable game and if you can get over the visuals it's awesome.
DOOM for Nintendo Switch is a revelation. It’s important not just because it gives Switch owners a hardcore shooter to play. It also demonstrates what the Switch is capable of.
While it's fantastic to have a shooter out on the Switch at last, I still prefer my PC version.
The arrival of DOOM on Nintendo Switch is an achievement that must be celebrated by playing. Panic Button has done a wonderful work with the id Tech 6 engine that captures, most of the time, the complete and ultra-violent experience of one of the best FPS in recent time.

Yes, one can lament lower frame rates and resolutions but that doesn't change the fact that Doom for Switch looks good, plays great, and can be taken with you wherever you go.
Doom is a fast-paced, blood-soaked first-person shooter which pitches you in an exhilarating war against the hordes from hell. While some concessions have been made in order to make it run on the Switch, it is still pretty much the same Doom game. With almost exactly the same content as the console version, it's made all the better for its portability.
DOOM on the Switch brings one of gaming's most brutal first-person shooters onto the most family-friendly console
If you want to play Doom on a big screen, this version is the worst choice by far. If you on the other hand prefer to kill demons on the bus, Doom for Nintendo Switch is a great choice. Despite some very noticeable cutbacks the core of Doom is still there - and it's thoroughly enjoyable.

In the end, Doom is a worthy successor to the original and although there was mixed reviews of Doom 3 way back in 2004, id Software should be praised on not only paying homage to the original but successfully rebooting the franchise on high-end consoles, the PC and now the Nintendo Switch.
If playing Doom on the go is a huge factor, it gets no better than this. It doesn't look the clearest or run the smoothest, but 90% of the time players can still enjoy one hell of a game.
DOOM is a great game, no matter what platform you play it on, including Switch.
Bethesda pulled off quite the trick with Doom, giving us the first real AAA third-party game experience on the Nintendo Switch. What it lacks in graphical power, it makes up for in portability, and the fact that the complete, unadulterated campaign and multiplayer modes made it over intact is an achievement other studios should take note of.
One year after release, Doom's campaign is still one of the generation's best
