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 an example of how to make a great sequel. Doesn't break with the 2016 game and allows us to embody a character that is a demon killer. It makes us feel powerful and is one of the most brutal games we've enjoyed in a long time.

A proper thrill-ride, DOOM Eternal is the sequel to DOOM 2016 that we wanted, and then some. Going to hell has never been so damn heavenly.

DOOM Eternal is as satisfying to play as bewitching to admire and hypnotic to listen to, and in fact it is a candidate for arrogance to be one of the best first-person shooters available in this generation. DOOM is back, long live DOOM!

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.

DOOM Eternal is drastically better than DOOM (2016), which was already an incredible game. Some players may not enjoy just how much more complex DOOM Eternal is, but I find it addicting. This is one of the best shooters I've ever played.
