When it comes to first-person shooters, Doom Eternal is one of those games that you can get lost in. The combination of graphics, story, and intense action is enough to keep you playing for hours, pushing for “one more try” after a demon inevitably eats your lunch.

Doom Eternal's "play cool or die" philosophy shakes up retro shooter norms for the better. It's the confident sequel we all knew it would be, but it tries to be even more than that. In almost every way, it succeeds at both.

If you loved DOOM 2016 I think you're are going to love DOOM Eternal. It takes the best parts of 2016 and somehow finds a way to improve on them. Throw in some amazing easter eggs, new enemy types, movement mechanics and level design and you have a formula for amazing. Sure it'll take a level or so to figure out this new combat rhythm but once you find it, you'll never want to go back.

DOOM Eternal offers a solid, challenging and addictive single-player campaign. The new mechanics for movement are good and make the gameplay even more frantic. The storyline can be a little confusing if you are unaware of the previous games, but fans will enjoy it. The multiplayer mode, however, leaves something to be desired - it is interesting in theory, but its execution is poor and appears to be quite unbalanced.

Doom Eternal is FAITHFUL to its roots: guns, demons, violence, gore and an intense FPS gameplay. The game mechanics are set in a way that forces you to play in the RIP AND TEAR style. Shot, move around, swap weapons, use abilities, dash, final blows... You will do all that in every 30 seconds of combat. Playing Doom Eternal is not about standing still or finding cover to shoot at targets. The most effective way to get what you need to survive is by engaging aggressively and killing demons. Aside from all the action, there are 10 different items to explore and collect. 6 of them are related to weapons and character upgrades and the rest are lore and cosmetic items. All these items and currency points MAY LOOK COMPLEX to some but after a dozen hours of gameplay, it becomes easier to understand.

DOOM Eternal is an upgrade of its predecessor in every aspect. The violent and energetic combat encounters at the sound of Mick Gordon's tracks are as fun as they are satisfying. Few games have left me this exhausted (in a good way) as DOOM Eternal. And after I finished it, I asked for more. It's without a doubt in my mind one of the best first person shooters of this generation, and a strong candidate for game of the year.

Polished to the nth degree, visually sublime and with a soundtrack that’ll get your heart racing, it’s a thrilling game from bloody beginning to gory end.

DOOM Eternal is a true masterpiece capable of creating a school and revolutionizing the way FPS are approached. Id Software takes the ideas from the 2016 game and gives it a twist to create the ultimate shooter, more and better in this case. It's hard to go back to playing a traditional first person shooter after playing this marvel.

Apart from the platform elements, it is a magnificent blood bath.

When everything works, DOOM Eternal on Stadia works like in the rest of platforms. That is something that depends, mostly, of your ISP connection. During our test we didn't experienced input lag or video artifact, and even if it isn't native 4K, it moves like a charm. Mice and keyboard control (as is with the pad) also responds without problems.

Older readers may remember the notoriety of the original Doom, one of the forerunners of the first-person shooter that sent players to hell and back, turning demons into kibble at the end of a floating shotgun.

DOOM Eternal is a game I've been looking forward to since before it was even announced. The cliffhanger ending of DOOM 2016 left me wanting more, I waited and hoped for story DLC which never materialised, and now in 2020... my patience has been rewarded. DOOM Eternal was everything I wanted and more. I can wholeheartedly recommend it, although that goes without saying. After all, it's DOOM - who can say no to that?

To summarize, I must ask you to go and experience DOOM Eternal. This title is a collection of top and best features that any action title or shooter should have. The DOOM Eternal has been able to Raise the Bar of Shooter Titles all the way to the heavens, or better yet, to the depths of hell and prove itself not only as of the best DOOM in history but one of the best shooter and action titles we've ever seen.

After DOOM 16 became such a big hit, winning awards from all publications, there were obvious expectations to top themselves with the sequel, more weapons, more glory kills, ballsier enemies, essentially making the whole game Bigger, and Better. Well…..they got the Bigger part down.

Doom Eternal is a worthy addition to the Doom franchise and it does take it forward with a number of well-implemented elements. You can try hard to find reasons to complain to in the game, but the game will keep you hooked up throughout the roughly-15 hours of ruthless gameplay. Whether you are a fan of the franchise or not, there is no reason why you shouldn't try out this game.

DOOM Eternal is everything you can ask of a sequel, it has everything that the previous game brought and enough changes and additions to make it bigger and better than that. You can spend hours dismembering demons without getting tired and enjoying every minute.

The game is action-packed, chaotic and tons of fun, and it looks fantastic, too. Some great games are coming out across 2020 as well as the start of a new console generation, and this is a great way to truly kick off gaming in 2020.
