DOOM Eternal Reviews
The annoying self-aware memes can be ignored, and if you don’t care for Doom guy depicted in third person cutscenes, they are easily skipped. Doom Eternal lives up to its name in proving that it is going to be here for a long time.
When everything comes together, Doom Eternal’s combat, mobility and levels combine to create one of the most satisfying gameplay loops and FPS campaigns in years. The Doom Slayer came, he sawed and he lived up to his reputation.
Very few games are able to make me feel as powerful as this one does. So bust out you gun, sharpen your blade, and get ready to wipe demon juice off the soles of your feet.
I ran, I jumped, I killed. And I died. A lot. And these days, that's enough.
Overall, the game is a perfect addition to id Software’s vastly successful DOOM franchise.
DOOM Eternal is a good sequel to the 2016 game, and adds interesting platform phases.

Doom (2016) turns things up to 11 for the beloved demon-mulching shooter series. With Doom Eternal, id Software cranks the volume up to 20. There’s a booming soundtrack, pulse-raising action and stunning hellish landscapes aplenty, but the sequel still isn’t without its flaws.
As long as Doom Eternal didn't stray too far from its predecessor, it was going to be a good game. But id Software comes surprisingly close to muddying everything with new mechanics. The flamethrower and rechargeable chainsaw give you more options during battle, but they can also feel like unnecessary additions. Still, a deeper lore, a banging soundtrack, and plenty of demons to gib leave Doom Eternal in a happy place—relatively speaking.
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.
In Doom Eternal, ripping and tearing has never felt so good, even if the last few chapters really test your patience.
Id Software's latest shooter is truly a gamer's game, fully focused on glorified violence and addictive action
It's only when you stop playing, feeling somehow frazzled, energised, and jittery, that you realise the game has as much in common with the audiovisual arts as it does with a double-shot of espresso.
This is the strongest Doom has ever been.
As a whole, Doom Eternal is a solid game, and a great sequel.
DOOM returns to offer us another installment loaded with wonderful and vertical battles full of rawness and to rhythm of heavy metal. Although they have impressed us again in the shooter aspect, DOOM Eternal adds more content to the game, as well as parts of the platform, which we do not see clearly its contribution and make us miss the simplicity of this franchise.

Doom Eternal mostly manages to avoid the bloat that plagues other sequels, but it also roughs up that perfect pacing with more lore, sometimes muddy platforming, and more collectibles to find.
It may not reach the sublime heights of its predecessor, but Doom Eternal is bursting at the seams with hellacious action.
Doom Eternal intensifies the battles with Hell's hordes by requiring you to constantly calculate the best ways to rip, tear, and stay alive.
A significant improvement on the reboot and while there are still a few flaws the core combat is some of the best in any first person shooter this generation.
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.
